Me too Jax, talent shows nowadays are just bloody popularity contests. I wonder why the global "talent" contest is called the X-Factor in the first place. Talent? Uh-uh! Sex appeal! Yep! Same thing with Idol.
Never mind the talent. What happened to the good old days of Young Talent Time for example? You remember that show, don't you Jax? Thank goodness for Australia/America etc. Got Talent. It's not restricted to singing or, to the extent, image appeal, but a diverse versatility of talent that stretches from dancing, instrumentalists, magic and even visual illusion. Sorry for the rant but just needed to get it off my chest.
Umm..I'm not putting MJ down, but Michael Jackson used to Mime when he was doing his concerts...I went to see him in '92 & it was quite disappointing because you could tell he was miming!!
Spot on Jax, I agree with everything you said as well. He was in the bottom 2 and survived another week. I can sing and dance but not simultaneously, it is hard to multi-task, but Michael was the ultimate professional as he was extraordinarily unique and there will ever be another like him again.
I saw that last night, Jax. While his singing is mediocre, the dancing is quite slick, however no-one will EVER match the greatness and the consummate showmanship of Michael Jackson.
