but does no one else get more then a little peeved that people like this get air time (same thing with big brother really but at least then you get to see a little bit about how people work)
and i spose ive now become a part of it now... showing everyone here
but yeah it just takes time away from real artists
There are very few real artists left these days, and again its culture and technology to blame all rolled into one.
A money making company who signs artists is not going to care about joe blogs who writes his own songs and sings well when he is a fat and ugly toad with no screen/sales potential.
Most people wont want to watch the above on TV etc. They would rather have "ascetically pleasing" average singing artists who dance about on stage.
The record companies recognise this and sign accordingly.
Its just the way the industry works
