X-Factor, anyone can pass

I was watching the X Factor last week and saw some guy called Kalvin McManigle making a fool of himself in national TV; sadly he was not the worst of the night, overall very poor performances, without any voice training were not only passed to the next level, but also were celebrated by the judges and general public.

A lot of untalented people with no voice or presence were in the stage making a fool of themselves and they are going to be again on TV probably for weeks.

So many untrained, poor, insecure contestants invade our homes with only one intention from the creators of the show, to get the revenues from all the Americans that keep voting week after week at a ridiculous cost for people who most of the times don't deserve to be called a Performer. If any of these people would invest in voice lessons they would know better and go to a show with higher quality.

Americans should demand talent, should demand entertaining beyond the sad stories of the contestants. There are soup operas for the ones who want exaggerated tears, a talent show should be all about showcasing talent and that's it. As someone who knows about vocal coaching I would strongly advise you to watch what's in the other channel.
