{allcanada} Canwest to debut 'Canada Sings!'

Okay, you know the smelly dude who sits two cubicles over? He just might be your path to TV fame - if he can sing, that is.

Canwest has announced the creation of a reality-competition series tentatively titled Canada Sings!, which will encourage offices across the country to form glee clubs.

Clearly trying to capitalize on the success of the scripted high school dramedy Glee, which originates on Fox and also airs on Global, Canada Sings! is scheduled to debut on Global in early 2011.

Each week Canada Sings! will travel to two Canadian work places to scout talent for a glee club that will audition, rehearse and ultimately perform in front of a live studio audience, all within a few days.

A panel of to-be-named celebrity judges - how about some Glee cast members, huh? - will award the winning glee club with a donation to charity.
