So they all queue up in helix. 40-50 get to hang around til the end of the day, then without a second audition as far as i could see from the telly, they whittle this down to 12 or so. Then after a morning of seeing how good/bad some of the 12 really are this comes down to 5. Then without them really auditioning again for the watching public we have to vote.
Heres the gripe.
thought last sunday they were all quite decent with the guy who eventually came second miles ahead of the rest. But the young guy who won it is 17-18 yrs old doing his leaving (i think he said he was in 6th year), he's in school and has a week to get his school, his primary school and the local old folks home to vote for him. what chance did anyone else have no matter how good they were? now, dont get me wrong, thought he was ok, but there were better then him in the show.
so now, the entire school votes for him every week in the finals, so lets say he goes on to win it, now hes got a record contract based on his mates voting for him which isnt an indicator of whether hes any good, just that hes got loads of mates. The leaving certs coming up, whats he gonna do?
should rename the show from "Youre a star" to " How many people do you know that can txt".
rant over.
