In many contemporary societies, televised
talent
shows have become very popular over the past decade with shows
such
as “American Idol”, “The Apprentice”, “Survivor”, and “Big Brother” attracting big audiences.
However
, it is a well establish notion that every man is born with a unique innate
talent
. So there is no shade of doubt that among the seven billion men living
the globe has at least one
talent
of them are unique trait. Most of the cases, it is very difficult for them to parade the world what they are capable of doing.
Talent
show
, indeed, is a wonderful platform for them to manifest their
talent
. In
this
instance, many people think that these shows are an excellent approach for hunting the veiled talents, while others oppose the view and claim that it is nothing but amusement. In the following discussion, I will
show
both the points have some merits.
The mode of television programs has changed significantly with the rapid development of mass media over the
last
decade.
Accordingly
, TV
talent
shows have played their role in changing the face of popular television. These shows simultaneously entertain a great extent
Its audience and hunt real
talent
from the ordinary people. The
contestarctsa person who participates in competitions
shows have become a golden platform for common people to
show
their hidden
talent
, turn their dreams into reality, and ultimately, help them change from ‘ordinary’ to ‘conspicuous figure’. In these programs, anyone can participate, no matter who they are or where they have come from. Viewers of these shows acknowledge the contestants as very ‘ordinary’, and what is more, it is the proof of real success which is not confined to ‘special people’. Not everybody will make it big, but some do, and they are likely to be the boy or girl
next
door.
However
, the opposing of
talent
show
claims that these shows are mere an entertaining, no business with searching real
talent
. They point
the procedure through which a
talent
is selected or nominated is problematic. Let it be clarified, viewers are told to vote for their favourites
instead
best performer. What do favourites mean to the lay people? Their decision can vary from whoever they like best or sorry for favourite pro. The critics argue that if these shows claim themselves as
talent
shows,
thenthensubsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)
why not encourage viewers to vote for the singer or dancer, performance they thought was the best of that episode?
Similarly
, many opponents of televised
talent
shows, including the legendary Elton John, contend that a
show
like X Factor is the wrong way to debut a career in music.
Although
there would always be the artist who would set forth to the top by means of a lucky fluke, but for the most part, success can be attained through a long, dedicated struggle.
Consequently
, most of the cases, the winners of these shows are faded away from the audiences’ memory immediately
besides
one or two exceptions.
In conclusion, all that I want to say that these programs are striving to be popularity shows rather than
talent
shows.
me, these shows are just the hollow performance of meritocracy that casually
commodi
fiesundergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind
the performers engaged, treating them as two dimensional actors in an extended marketing practice. On the one hand it inspires to consume masquerading, and the other hand aspires to succeed. It replaces honest ambition and striving with an unhealthy focus on our own special want within a
consumeristic
fabric of instant satisfaction.
