You are joking of course...let the public decide???
The same public who think that Anne Widdicome and John Sargeant can dance, that think that Jedward and Chico have talent. The same public who lap up 'I'm a celebrity with a voice that ballroom dances on ice wearing a cat costume so get me out of here'
Used to be a mildly entertaining competition in the early days of pop, when most of the music on TV were piano recitals, choristers and a weekly dose of ToTP and six five special.
We need to pull away and leave it to the newly freed nations like Azerbaijan, Croatia and the like,,let them have their puppet on a string and save your kisses for me moment..
After all we've outgrown this nonsense, we've progressed from this shallow interpretation of musical acumen..we have rap, hip hop, garage, grunge...........oh wait..
