Unsigned artists audition for a panel of top tier music industry talent, who choose two of the artists to each record their own version of a new original song written by a chart-topping songwriter.

After just 48 hours the artists face one final test – they must perform their versions of the original song in front of a live audience. The panel then choose one artist and their song to launch, releasing it live immediately after each episode.

What a mess!!! Now SABC3's changing the schedule for tonight to air Survivor after last night's pathetic fiasco. This means that The Launch won't start tonight and The Man Cave won't air either - or so they say - Survivor will air instead apparently - at 19h30. Obviously there's no surety that this will actually happen.
