But there is another side to this. If an auditionee had to jump through three sets of hoops to get on TV despite the fact that they were obviously musically talented, how do the hopeless, non musical, utterly self–deluded candidates ever get that far? Because their uselessness is the very point. Because the show requires victims, targets for the judges jokes. Because the audience doesn’t just want to see gladiators going into combat, they want to see hapless Christians being fed to the lions. It’s the kind of thing that has been amusing audiences since the Roman Empire. You can call it old fashioned entertainment. That doesn’t make it right.

100% agree with that.
Completley honestly, I hate watching the bad auditionees, I find it really boring. If the program was just all good singers, IMO it would be better but it wouldn't get the same success, which frankly sucks.
