We watch TV not often and one of the reasons is the reality annex talent show Popidol. It's nice to watch some candidates who are really talented qua singer-song qualities, but once again, we feel like we and they are fools in a exhibishionistic (and 'democratic') world. The proof: once there's a winner, after few singles and seasons later, they are forgotten. Producers of such TV-shows add a 'value' for the audience, called SMS-voting. You loose some money too!
The really talented singers/songwriters don't need such an exposure of the abused media called reality-television to get a huge carreer. If music and performance are well strategized, you can keep your celebrity for a long long time.
By the way: some members of the jury are already over the peak singers, hoping to have their fame back via this way.
