Nowadays, ever more often television programmes give the chance to
people
 to
show
 their talents. Some argue
that is
 a good way to give relevance to who,
otherwise
, won't have other chance to
show
 themselves, while others think that are just shown to entertain. In
this
 essay, I will discuss why I think talent shows are not just amusing programs but,
also

people
 to
show
 their skills. A
first
 aspect, that
tv
 shows give to talented

people
 having great voices or are excellent dancer have not other ways to demonstrate their abilities. At best, they can perform in concerts or in theatres where the stalls are much less than the audience watching
tv
. The well-known singer Adele is one of the many talented singers who got famous thanks to talent shows; demonstrating her abilities in singing. A
second
 aspect, which sometimes is not considered, is the fact that these artists pass through a selection process that chooses who is better based on their competence. Entertainment is a part of the

 most of the participants have real abilities that have to be judged by experts. The
tv
 program known as "The Voice" is an example of how singers are judged not on their appearance, but truly on their skills. In conclusion, I think that

 programs where talented
