Reality shows on TV

I used to watch reality shows on TV, especially singing competitions such as Malaysian Idol, American Idol, Akademi Fantasia, One in a Million and Gangstar. However, after one or two years now, I feel these shows have become monotonous and boring. Some of the contestants have no real talent but somehow managed to reach the final. They win because they are beautiful or handsome or people are really crazy of the person than his/her voice capability. The quality of the contestants is questionable. On the other hand, the quality and capability of the selected permanent judges are also debatable. Some of the comments they make is not relevant to the performance of the contetstants, especially those related to the way they dress-up and costumes as well as shoes they wear. I still remember the high quality of singing competition in the early 70’s and 80’s such as Bintang Radio, Bintang RTM and Juara Kugiran. These competitions managed to produce quality singers such as Sudirman, Jamal Abdillah and Sharifah Aini.
