The 退役軍人 performer said the shows were far more about 'television and making money, than 現実に finding musical talent'.

"The ones that 勝利，勝つ are told what to sing, how to dress, how to behave. They are over-styled 'puppets'. They aren't musicians they are 簡単に a 製品. It is a glorified advert.

"The shows are much more about television and making money for the people behind the show, than 現実に finding musical talent.

"For a while that 製品 is popular but there is hardly ever any longevity. And then these kids just get 捨てるd with no real way of getting 支援する in again because they didn't spend the time over the years building up 接触するs and working out how things worked for themselves."

The 爆発 follows a 類似の tirade by Noel G allagher earlier this week.

'But it seems to bring on instant mental illness. You're going in at the 最高の，を越す, with a number one that sells 750,000 or whatever and you've got someone like Dannii Minogue telling you you're really talented - and if there's one person in the room who wouldn't know talent if it kicked them in the a*** it's Dannii Minogue.'

'You spend a year slogging around the country and then what? You can't go 支援する to Barnsley and be a check-out girl cos that would look bad.
