VTM claims these fragments show it discovered and launched lots of talented people. Certain formats are just about scouting, such as Nu of Nooit, (music) Soundmixshow or (for children) Kinderacademie and Mini Playback-show, precursors of present hits such as Idool and X-factor. Also some backup musicians achieved fame, such as pianist Tars Lootens and pop band Plaza. Some were launched in different show segments, such as acting / music, even jury members suddenly achieved wide fame.
