singer-songwriter show

[ThrobbingEgo]

Wouldn't it be great if, instead of the Idol shows where they look for a marketable voice - for a performer, they had a talent show for people who actually write songs? If anything, I'd stop people from singing the same songs over and over again. And the weirdos would be way more entertaining.

And the challenges - oh man, the challenges. They could give the singer-songwriters different genres, themes, and narratives to play with.

In my opinion, this would be a far more interesting show than Professional Karaoke.

What? Actual talent?

YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND!

Didn't you see the guy with the poem on Britain's Got Talent?

And yea that would be pretty good. But instead of good sogn sung badly, it'd be abds songs sung badly. I know which I prefer.

Do you really want your cherished songs butchered? At least, this way, it's almost a victimless crime.

That actually does sound good. Escpecially because the only decent song show is Peter Kay's Britain's Got The Pop Factor And Possibly Another Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice and the only reason why that's good is because it's funny.

Also, do you realise how long it can sometimes take to write songs from scratch?

So? Noel Gallagher wrote Supersonic in 5 minutes, he claims.

True, but Leonard Cohen took over 8 years to write Hallelujah.

Wow... Well it is a great song.
