Watching two total no talents perform against each other, I did wonder why they bother. But I disagree with the "why don't they perform their own songs?" point made above. One of the problems with modern music is the assumption that singers MUST write their own songs. The result is less good singers singing less good songs. There are very few singers who can write - two totally different talents. Insist on both and you remove the majority of talented people in each art.
honey!oh sugar sugar.

This would prove to us what they're really capable of, and if they deserve a recording ocntract. It's sad that they end up becoming svengali pawns to Simon Cowell who gets them to sing an extremely saccharine, gooey, gossamery pile of donkey doos just in time for the Christmas market.
Why don't we see any creative, edgy, witty, clever and thoughtful musicians in popular music anymore? Any ideas Bryan?
A couple of years ago they had a girl singing her own songs and she was doing very well but pulled out for health reasons.

1, finding someone who sings well, performs well, looks good, has a likeable personality and can write good songs is incredibly rare.
2, having to write a new song, arrange it and work out a performance for it every single week is a very tall order.
3, the audience want to hear and judge singers based on songs they're already familiar with.
Having said all that, wasn't there a show on Sky that did similar? What was that like?
