It appears anymore that if a person doesn't have the Simon Cowell stamp of approval then that person does not have talent.
Even the news media seems to believe this. The "Today Show" is the biggest culprit. On their "news" program they are constantly bombarding the viewers with the latest reality show want-to-be that just "wowed" Simon Cowell.
Wake up America. Just because it's not on your television doesn't mean there is not real talent out there. All one has to do is go to any karoke bar or watch live theatre in a large city or in a handful of regional theatres and you will find talent as good, if not better than what you'll often see in any of these televised ego-fest.
I guarantee you that the greatest singer, actor, dancer, entertainer, etc. is someone that the world has probably never seen or heard of.
These televised "talent shows" might be entertainment to some, but are insulting to the members of the public that know how to appreciate real art.
Yes, some of these shows are fun to watch and many of the performers are quite good - but as a guide to the most talented people in America? I don't think so.
