I’ve seen the shows. The guy from the UK that went to HK for the finals was so full of crap!! I'm a BBC (British Born Chinese) and felt ashamed just watching him.
Don't you think we should be respectful here? There must be talent in an artists that get chosen to be one.
it depends on which idol shows you're talking about...mainland ones are so much better than HK ones. the recent HK one sucked because their purpose was not even for talent but whether you can keep the judges/crowd interested or not. Jane Zhang is one of my favorite singers and she was discovered through a talent show.
