So we got to go see the taping of one of those 'music talent scouting shows' taping in the bay area. People actually came to audition from far away although this event was supposedly attracting local talent to come and get a spot on the show.
This show is somewhat popular on some TV station and is called the 'X Factor' where an unknown quantity is identified in the form of a new talent. The whole experience is more about people coming to watch Britney Spears in person (along with some other judges) who, herself is also a new talent in the form of one of four judges to rate the characters trying to make it on national television (and also win a grand prize and recording contract).
This taping was for four hours with bathroom breaks thrown in. It ended up being mostly a ridiculous noise fest with a bunch of millenials hooting and yelling and listening to mediocre folks wanting to get their next 'Call Me Maybe' effort recognized.
Maybe at best this was a 1 on a 1 to 50 scale in terms of appetizing music.
Not one for crowds I generally attended it so that my young one could experience this side of culture too...after all a lot of girls in this generation know a thing or two about these stars and can relate better than me to the awkward and incomprehensible music that is today's pop art.

I almost wondered if you had entered the contest and sunaoed some desi beats to the judges!
ReplyDeleteI would have simply liked to beat the judges.
