I find it odd
that these so-called talent shows don't actually have anyone who can do anything other than sing reasonably.

I did, however see one once, where this 15 year old boy (who coincidently had glasses, was spotty and geeky looking) could play the guitar like Hendrix reincarnated - it was incredible to watch.

Of course, he lost to a bunch of 16-17 year old pretty girls who could mime and jump about at the same time.

Talent shows? Complete oxymoron if you ask me.

Mm. They generally respond to comments about the looks>talent thing
by saying that people just "don't have star quality". They should look at someone like Rowan Atkinson, who is infamously a really staid guy off set, and try and convince people of that.
