I'm not saying that all of the songs within recent years are bad (because that would be stupid,) but the Music Industry is still relying on the talent of singers from a decade or two ago to deliver good vocals.

I mean the current number one in the UK Charts is Beyonce, don't get me wrong she has a great voice, but she's been around since the 90's, It's not exactly a new vocal powerhouse is it?

And I know that previous efforts such as The X Factor and American Idol only churned out the odd successful act, I do believe that to be the case only because the Music industry were being snotty, and didn't want to give their best song material to what they viewed as "Reality TV riff raff," even though a lot of these contestants were actually talented, and could've brought something very much needed to the Music Industry (i.e good singing.)

As I've said on another thread, I've been watching a bunch of different American Idol Seasons recently, and yeah obviously there are some acts that aren't very good imo, but there were definitely some that could sing some of the current big singers off the park, yet unfortunately most of them that I've seen (bar Adam Lambert,) never were really given a proper chance by the Music Industry.

Am I the only one that thinks that a new singing show needs to come out, to actually find good singing talent for the charts?

And just to add, even if the winner isn't easily marketable, if they're talented then the Industry should at least try to push them imo.

Eurovision started delivering quite some acts to the billboard charts, like Netherlands's Duncan Laurence, Italy's Maneskin, Armenia's Rosa Linn


regarding germany

DSDS has delivered some decent successes tbh

Alexander Klaws (series 1 winner) as of today still relevant, although now more a big name musical theatre star, was the lead star as Jesus last year in their first live easter show of The Passion

Ramon Roselly, landslided to victory in 2020 no audiences due to covid year, with 86% of the vote, afterwards his debut album because an album no.1 chart hit

Prince Damien, following his victory he became more and more popular, also having been crowned King of the Jungle on Ich Bin Ein Star (i'm a celeb) as well as being very popular musician
