I just wish I could have some interesting music on TV, we have loads of this dancing and singing stuff and yet no real music from proper bands and singers. They used to show Jools Holland out here about 2 years ago which was great, except for having to stay up until 1am to watch it and now there is nothing like that. Just totally wiped off the schedules and yet all over the place we have these karaoke competitions.

Judge 1: "Ooh your voice was lovely".
Judge 2: "I disagree, it was poor"
Ad infinitum.

What are these so called judges rating exactly. Do they have a carefully constructed criteria for assessing the qualities of a voice? Obviously not, it's just faff made for faff. It's just pointless and totally detracts from the hard work that good bands are putting in in an increasingly volatile industry. However, these people with easy access to TV are guaranteed their own advertising slots. It's a sham, it really is. One big marketing ploy, whilst good bands get laid to ruin.

I hate shows like this and want them off of commerical TV, but as a man who refuses to watch adverts what does commercial TV care about a man who doesn't watch adverts and furthermore doesn't even live in the country where the adverts are shown?

Yet, somehow this stuff needs to be banned.
