Actually, this program would be great if they included some requirement of artistic talent...for example, if they had to write and then sing their own songs.
Or at least if they were armed only with a piano or acoustic guitar, and had to play the music themselves (i.e. make the song using their own voice and talent)...instead of having an army of backing singers and mega bass boosted backing track.
Most of them didn't do anything other than prance around in costumes. It was only the freaky eared girl who I thought had any soul to her voice at all. That last bloke had a good voice but the song was so boring and dull it just didn't matter...give him a guitar so he has to play/sing with a bit of soul, and he could have been amazing, or rubbish, but either way infinitely more entertaining.
