The Liquor Studio team is rarely at home watching TV on a Saturday night, but even we can't help noticing that every one wants to be a famous singer or be humiliated by a bitter celebrity judge. Well, we can't hold a note to save our lives and our dancing is dodgy at best but we do know what it feels like to be a rock star behind the bar!
