The principle is similar
The only reason it's not as versatile, or varied, or inspiring of true talent is that there is such a "wealth" of mass media available to the jaded masses now.
In the real days of Vaudeville (which I guess were probably 1850-1914 ish) it served roughly the same purpose and demographic as X Factor et al do now.

berk, Thu 28 Oct 2010, 22:33,

I'm not expecting to win this arguement
But I might score a point or two.
The greatest vaudeville acts were hand selected by the promoters because they knew that a big name on the billboards brought them revenue.
I don't suppose the likes of Marie Lloyd wrote or even selected their own material; it was a marriage of what the best promoters felt was the most lucrative stuff and acts.
So now we're getting closer to X Factor, aren't we?

As much as it pains me to say it
quite a few of the hundred or so that get through to the latter stages are talented. Unfortunately they're then bent and twisted through the Syco/ITV1 machine and moulded to a template and have all discernible natural talent squeezed out of them until they fit the desired model.

Oh, I agree that the ones that get to the final few stages
can sing. But only a certain type of person goes on that program, and it's those who have a greater desire to be famous than they do a great singer. And, like you say, any individuality they might have had is mangled out of them to become 'chart stars' who will inevitably sink without a trace after their first album has been released, cynically in time for the Christmas market.
(
berk, Thu 28 Oct 2010, 22:51,

Again, a good point
There are so many wannabes that they are expendable and their handlers can exploit them cynically, as you put it. It's almost analogous with factory farming - milk 'em to death, wring their necks and bring on the next batch.
Whether there were queues round the block to audition for vaudeville acts is unknown to us. I suspect there were wannabes then, but not with the same assumption that they were indelibly destined for superstardom.
(
The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 28 Oct 2010, 23:04,

That's a valid point
And the cult of stardom has been brought to us primarily by television.
I think my overriding point is that the strata of entertainment that is most popular has always been manipulated by the promoters and producers of entertainment.
Perhaps we are starry-eyed to think that true talent has always emerged fully formed for our delight. It's always been manouvered into place. How many Norma-Jean Bakers got passed over before Marilyn Monroe got plucked from Turd City, Oklahoma (or wherever?)

Yeah!
Single again, and redundant from the job that used to mean that me and you were the only people alive at 06.00 on Sunday mornings.
If that sounds negative - it is, but I'm not.
How many exams?

four.
maths on monday/wednesday, psychology on thursday, then chemistry the following thursday.
sorry to hear about the singleness and the redundancy. How long's that been going on then?

Don't be sorry - I'm not
Out of interest, what do you call these exams?
They'd be called "A" levels here - it's the intermediate grade between high school and University - am I right?

they're vce exams.
and yeah, they calculate the rankings of people against everybody else in the state so they can work out who gets into what uni. You have to do a minimum of five subjects to get in. I did 6 over two years, cos I haven't been well enough for a full workload.

Not quite the same as our system then
So if your results dictate which University you go to, are Universities ranked in order of ability?
I'm always curious about these things.
