The XFactor(英国偶像), Britain's Got Talent(英国达人), American Idol(美国偶像) and Supergirl, TV talent shows are popular all over the world.
There are many reasons for that. To start with, the show can make the contestant(选手) famous overnight. Susan Boyle was an ordinary English woman before she appeared on Britain's Got Talent, in which she sang “I Dreamed a Dream”. The video clip(片段) of her performance was viewed more than 50 million times within a few weeks. Second, the show offers a good opportunity to display one's talents. Third, everybody has a fair chance to be involved in the show regardless of the age and background. Even if you can't perform in the show, you can vote for your favorite contestant through cellphones and the Internet. Fourth, the fun and humorous style also appeals to young people. Last but not least, the modern media such as TV and the Internet contribute greatly to its rapid popularity.
However, many people express concerns about TV talent shows. They argue that the TV talent show misleads the young people and makes them believe that they can become famous overnight. Some think the show only creates entertainers rather than artists, because many winners have little idea about real music and acting. What's worse, some judges even humiliate(羞辱) and laugh at contestants. One contestant from American Idol committed suicide because she couldn't stand the rejection and humiliation. Even the winners suffer. Susan Boyle suffered a nervous breakdown soon after the show, because she was unable to deal with the pressure.
