The problem is that the show helps to create the impression that all it takes to "make it" is the ability to sing decent Karaoke. If I want to watch Karaoke I go to a Karaoke bar and me and my frinds supply our own witty comments.
I'm not saying that the level of vocal talent in the winners isn't high, but it used to be that if you wanted to be a performer you would have to learn how to play an instrument, read music, write a catchy hook, etc...not just mimic someone else's work in the hopes that you'll be given a corporate team that will make you a star.
To me it'd be much more interesting and meaningful to watch singer songwriters write and perform their own music, with professional coaching and studio musician backing; something more like Top Model maybe.
