And the biggest gripe of them all?
Those that expect celebrity for nothing. The cheap Tv shows that
promote the lowest possible denominator and raises their
expectations, and that of the lowest classes, to tremendous heights.
Why should anyone, and I do mean anyone, with no real talent be
allowed to achieve the heights of success that have traditionally
been reserved for those who have struggled and fought their way to
the top?
The role models and levels of
aspiration are 'kin nonsense. Simon Cowell and his ilk have created a
new culture based on public opinion, media intervention and emotional
bollocks. No-one, and I reiterate this, no-one, deserves any level of
success without the struggle and hard work associated with that.
Talent will out, it always will. However, singers, actors and similar
can piss off if they assume that by circumventing the usual means to
achieve their goal can be achieved by entering the absolute arse that
is X-factor, talent etc. etc.
In the same way that the contestants
that stand in front of the Dragons,in the den, and beg for cash,
appeal to the public; the sad losers in the celebrity wanabee shows
are the same. Neither can succeed without the format of TV, and as
such cannot succeed.
