More than a 1,000 Hear'Say wannabes have been queuing in Moscow dreaming of pop stardom.
They all want to be part of a brand new pop band created by Russian TV - just like the British Popstars and Pop Idol.
So many people queued to get on the show they had just 10 seconds to impress the judges!
But only the best singers made it through to the next round, and only the very best will make it to the final in September.
