Great Pretenders is an American half-hour television music game show that originally aired on Fox Family and ran for about four seasons from 1999 to 2002. It was hosted by former pop trio Wild Orchid.[1] On the show, teenagers lip synced and danced[2] to their favorite songs for the chance to win prizes.[3] Their performances were subsequently judged by a live studio audience.[4][5]
