Rock the Cradle MTV kids make asses of selves

Remember when MTV meant Music Television, they really need to change the name of the network to RTV Reality Television, because even when they’re covering music, it apparently needs a reality twist.

The latest offering from the reality spewing behemoth is titled Rock the Cradle, a weekly ‘live’ singing competition. The cast for Rock The Cradle, which premieres on Thursday, April 3rd at 10pm ET/PT, includes Landon Brown (son of Bobby Brown), A’keiba Burrell-Hammer (daughter of MC Hammer), Lara Johnston (daughter of Tom Johnston /The Doobie Brothers), Chloe Rose Lattanzi (daughter of Olivia Newton John), Crosby Loggins (son of Kenny Loggins), Jesse Money (daughter of Eddie Money), Jesse Blaze Snider (son of Dee Snider), Lil Al B Sure (son of Al B Sure), and Lucy Walsh (daughter of Joe Walsh/The Eagles).

Each week, these talented progeny of some of the most famous recording artists of all time will rehearse with accomplished producers, songwriters and choreographers before performing ‘live’ in front of a studio audience and an expert panel of judges. Ultimately, the fate of these second generation musical artists will be in the hands of the viewers at home, who will vote to determine which offspring has what it takes to emerge from their parent’s shadow, claim a lucrative recording contract and declare their independence.

It sounds like train wreck TV doesn’t it, you probably don’t want to watch, but you will. Oh and who the hell calls their kid Lil Al B Sure, that’s just cruel.
