I didn't say that. I have no doubt that there are people who get noticed and can't sing. I'm saying, if he's so brilliant, why did it take something this? Sure, there are plenty of good singers that are never noticed either...and if they're really determined, they can work their arse off, instead of just queuing up for a spot on a show like Idol. (I think I sound rather narrow minded there, but I don't mean to be.)

I will concede there are many poor vocalists who are getting contracts and exposure from these programs. Time will weed these performers out and they'll rightly fall on the scrapheap.

Just thinking back to the old Popstars, I think that was purely decided by the judges?? Memory is a bit hazy but I think so.....anyway, if so, that didn't help those groups at all!
