I support Social Media helping find talented singers, I have been listening to a YouTube act called First To Eleven over the past month, so I'm glad that it's there, and obviously like you've said, it does show a positive side to Social Media's existence.
However I really don't think that you can beat a night of The X Factor/The Voice/American Idol, and hear the singers perform live (even if later years of The X Factor had certain contestants abusing the live aspect,) I just don't believe that it can be beaten imo, because if a singer can actually sing, it will show itself (even during bad song choices for the contestant,) their talent will shine through to some extent.
