This is my opinion only, I have rarely watched these talent shows such as Australian/American Idol, Australia's Got Talent, So You think you can dance? etc. but from my limited knowledge, I believe they are produced as a marketing campaign to make money for the music industry and the broadcasting network, and I do not believe they exist to promote any sort of genuine talent whatsoever.

I do feel that Susan Boyle's singing ability is absolutely breathtaking. She was ridiculed for her perceived looks and she showed them she was a genuine person with a magical voice. I applaud her, but I feel that in the backrooms of the television network and the associated production company, they are both happy for the ratings, but puzzled as to what to do with her.
