Ok so we have a show where people go on and sing songs someone else wrote. They are young. They are trying to make it in a business that has the odds stacked against them.
They get up on a stage every week and sing in front of millions of people who will make fun of every little mistake they make. Then have the courage to get up on the stage the next week and do it again.
I wonder how well the folks that make fun of them would do under those same lights with Simon Cowell sitting there ready to call them an idiot in front of 50 million people?
Now this has been said to be the worst thing to happen to music in the last century.
It should be banned.....how dare they allow people to be on TV and sing songs they did not write. It does not matter how good they can sing.. Dammit they didn't write the songs so it's all bullshit, it's criminal I say. It's CRAP.
Anyone who sings someone else's songs ain't nothing but a crappy Karaoke singer.

Of course I could go on but I think you get the idea.
These folks should be banned from the music world. They didn't write these songs. They are just crappy Karaoke singers.
