i love the idea of a talent show that focus on more than just sing and especially the same old adult contemporary music that we hear over and over and over again on the like of american idol and star search and or any other popular talent competition . the problem be that when it come down to it it end up be nothing more than a singing competition with some other performer throw in for good measure and but without a shot at win . the judge constantly berate people for not be diverse or mix it up enough and which fly in the face of what the show be suppose to be about . take and for instance and the martial art exhibition group sideswipe . they be tell by all of the judge that they want to see more than just punch and kicking and and that they have to do more dancing and add more production to their number if they be go to have a shot at win . what . they be a martial art group . . . . . punching and kicking be what they do . why not tell the singer that they need to add more flip and jump and tumble to their act . when it come down to it the judge and and america and do not consider anything other than sing to be real talent and and that be a shame and because the variety be what could be the show strong feature . in defense of the show and there be much more variety than you will see on american idol . at the end of the second season there be a blue or reggae singer and a young american idolish singer ( though not of the same caliber ) and a ventriloquist or impressionist whose act be 99 % singing and and a beat boxing singer . there be more variety than many other talent competition and but it would be really nice to see more of the true variety act and far few singing act . another negative be that the show would be totally unwatchable without tivo . less than half of every show actually involve perform and and they spend way too much time on background info and let you know what be come up after the break .
