The question wasn't aimed at me, but i'm goin to answer it anyway

the people on it strike me as needy. the types that are happy to try and win a competition where the outcome is a bunch of other people directing your career and you going along with it like a gimp basically. don't get me wrong i've seen some good talent on it, but honestly i wish they'd believe in themselves a bit more work hard forget about the show and get themselves out there (on the scene). on their terms

Yet it may be viewed by some as a quicker, easier route to fame and why not if thats what they want?

Its not about fame, or even music. Its about money, about advertisement, about exploitation, about figures, shallowness, consumer culture, all thats cheap and expendable.

In sort...nothing good! doh

If most definitely is a quicker route. but not necessarily better. but at the end of the day people know what they are getting into by entering it. they know the terms. if they're happy to go along with it, good luck to them. i just don't think it's the best way for a talent to grow

I'm guessiing you're an artist of some kind?

From an observers point of view all you said is exactly what the music business is about

In a way, yes. I appreciate natural things, things that last, things that deserve to be recognised and respected. Not this cheap, crappy, 'here today, gone tomorrow' commersalism.


That and I was born in the wrong decade! No, scrap that, the wrong century! laugh

Musician?

Theres a lot of like-minded out there plugging away with passion thumbs up I'm a big supporter of the local live gigs. For me its where the real music is at. Some have had opportunity and let it slide for whatever reason...I dont ask.
