Well, I just read this on a local newspaper here in the Philippines...
The columnist said that talent searches are big jokes and just making people
something stupid or something like that (can't remember since it's a long time
since I read it).
You know there somewhat right but yet wrong. If you do win you get the prize but
it also comes with a contract. And sometimes that contract controls what your
able to do and not to do and bascily that's your life.

That's one but I remember that the columnist mentioned that it only makes people
just join all of this and it's just making people reliable on these kinds of
things. My head aches again... can't remember all the details.
oh.. yeah, pretty much stupid of a thing yah know? they just wanna make a
show-up or something, probably to make a big hit, but nonetheless, they just
wanna be popular, which makes them stupid.
Well... They are biased on some point view because most talent searches only
accept people who'm they will think attract the demands of viewers... Especially
so that most viewers are teenagers! By knowing this fact, they most of the time
accept good-looking ones with less talents rather than really talented people
with not-so-good looks. In the end the whole talent searches are a joke because
they have preset winners as soon as they see the attractive participants... This
is my point of view anyway!
There's nothing wrong in talent searches but when it becomes a popularity-based
by short message system, it all turned sour. Heck, even the crappiest of talent
could be the winner if he/she gets more than 50% of votes.

You know this reminds me of reality shows. They do all these crazy stuff just to
amuse the wachers. But it seems as if contracts run the t.v. buis. Cause they
also make you sign a contract when in a reality show just that this time it says
that after signing this if you get hurt or die then it's not there fault cause
you singed the contract.
Well, after all, i don't really think that it just makes people stupid or what,
because it helps them in developing themselves. Beside, it's really a great help
for them to know that it's never too late to give up on their dreams in life.
But on the other hand.. they're also being used up by the ones who were
responsible for these searches. They're at the same time getting a large benefit
for themselves, which the fans of their programs didn't know. They didn't know
that their money were just somewhat... wasted....
Um, but hey, this is just my opinion for that. ^_^

I don't like talent searches too. And you do have a point there being used up by
those big heads responsible for those stuff. And sometimes, some participants
who got into it don't really have the talent. Yeah I know, most people go for
the face value but it's just sickening voting for their bet who doesn't even
know how to sing well or act or do anything that you can call talent. I know
that this can be means to fulfilling dreams but they're just making it
substandard. And it's all because it's what the audience wants. And after the
contest then what? I guess those promising prizes are so blinding but at least I
am not.
Well I think both those searchers and some audiences don't have the right sense
to do things. I guess they shouldn't call it talent search but "popularity
search"
Ehahhaa. Well, guess so. Reminds me of American's Idol William Hung. But I do
know most people just join all these stuffs to get their names and faces on tv
and papers. Sometimes they just really make me sick, and sometimes I just don't
like it when they don't have the talents, but yet they get to be winners. But
it does make people look stupid, if you don't have that certain talents to be on
that Talent Searching stuff.

That's one viewpoint here. They just use the talents for attraction and for them
to gain more. More viewers means more advertisements and more profit.

That's another point. Some talent searches are more dedicated I say to the
popular ones and not on the talented ones. So what happens is that the search
becomes crappy and stupid.

Yes that is correct but that's their gain. And the gain of the ones who started
the talent search, more profit.

I think it's not good to judge a person in the sense of one single talent or
ability.

To me the just become one hit wonders. They are here one minute and gone the
next. Its sad that they have to sign their live away for nothing.

right on the money man.. and to add to
that, i think talent searches will be credible if the judges themselve are
really knowledgeable.. i mean for example, simon cowell is a credible judge
because he is a top honcho of a records company.
Talent searches are held for money. The winner reels in the cash but the
companies keep it. The sponsors also give cash but the companies keep it, too.
The winner/artist on the other hand gets fame and glamour. All of his/her stuff
get's paid for by the company. If the company doesn't earn b=money by marketing
the artist, the artist is dropped.. bye bye fame and fortune and cash.. say
hello to gossips and rumors.... and some debts, too.
Why do you think I'm staying undaground with my raos? It's because the industry
is all fukk*d up.
your topic reminds me of american idol. yeah, talent searches do bring out the
freaks and people with no talent, but who cares? it's up to them if they want
to make a fool of themselves and it's amusing for the rest of us to watch. and
it can be a big joke if it turns into a popularity contest rather than on
talent. but on the flip side, i also think that talent searches can give
unknown, regular people the chance to be discovered who would otherwise go
unnoticed. i mean carrie underwood was just a small town farm girl, but look at
her now...she's probably the most talented american idol winner. i don't think
she would've been discovered without this kind of venue from american idol. so
i think there are also some positive points to talent searches.
Ohh I would have to agree on the ones that are on TV I watch them just to laugh
at the people!!! I know it sounds mean but honestly it is so funny sometimes you
just can't help but laugh at them. American Idol is one of my favorites to laugh
at!!!

To me the just become one hit wonders. They are here one minute and gone the next. Its sad that they have to sign their live away for nothing.
Talent searches are strictly business. Nothing more, nothing less.
just what I was thinking while scrolling down. its all about the corporations trying to make a couple more dollers.
yeah, it is kind of stupid in the way. The chance of winning it is like a million to one, and it just give people empty hope.
right on the money man.. and to add to that, i think talent searches will be credible if the judges themselve are really knowledgeable.. i mean for example, simon cowell is a credible judge because he is a top honcho of a records company.
What do you know, Ken? You ain't got no talent!!!
