Talent? Show?

The queen recently expressed her disapproval of the 'music talent shows' rampant on TV today, saying they are nothing but a tool to achieve quick fame and recognition (for the singers or the judges?).  I completely agree.   No doubt the candidate singers are good but what happens to them after the show is over?  e.g. Where (or Who) is Abhijeet Sawant today?  Lata Mangeshkar says that instead of crooning yesteryear songs sung by her, Rafi and Kishore, upcoming singers should be working and showcasing original work.  That indeed will identify real talent! Today's 'talent hunt' shows are nothing but typical orchestra shows.
