* Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid has Greg and his brother Rodrick enter on ein the last act of the second book. Greg is so uninterested in participating (he's acting as a stand in for his best friend Rowley as the assistant to a six year-old) he is the only act to not pass auditions, while Rodrick's attempt to launch a rock career fall through due to the show's cameraman being more focused on their mom dancing to the music.


Added DiffLines:

* WesternAnimation/HorridHenry has Henry entering one to win tickets to a show of his choice, with the intent of winning tickets to his favourite band. To that end, he tries sabotaging the other contestants (such as tricking Brainy Brian into an EngineeredPublicConfession of cheating and having Moody Margaret and Sour Susan dropped down a trap door), but gets disqualified for [[CheatersNeverProsper lip-synching]], with his brother Peter winning the show with his cello, and getting tickets to Happy Hippos on Ice.

* Two separate episodes of ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'':
** In “Fiddle Me This”, when “Amphibia’s Got Talent” comes to the Valley, Sprig decides to enter, showing off his fiddle playing; Hop Pop, obsessed with trying to secure his family’s financial future, becomes an overbearing stage parent, forcing Sprig to do a flashy, elaborate performance. The flashing lights attract a giant bat, which nearly kills Sprig and destroys the competition; however, the judges assume it’s AllPartOfTheShow and award Sprig the grand prize.
** In “Battle of the Bands”, Mayor Toadstool hosts a musical competition. Anne, Sasha and Marcy decide to get their band back together, but tensions over Sasha’s control freak tendencies prompt her to quit and start her own band with Toadie. Eventually Toadie convinced her that backing her friends is more important than trying to control every little thing, and she joins them on stage for a spectacular performance; however, they still lose to Grime, who is [[HiddenDepths revealed to be a virtuoso harp player]].
