There're several talent shows on air these days. And they're quite entertaining. We just finished American Idol a couple of weeks ago, and that kicked off many other shows to start, like:
- America's got talent
- The voice
- So you can think you can dance
- Master Chef
And I'm sure there're many others I don't know about. These shows are very American. You most probably have their franchise versions in your local TV and even though they follow the guidelines and rules the result is not the same. I've seen the dancing show on the Hungarian TV2 (Megatánc) a couple of years ago, and the story was the very same, but the whole package from around it was missing.
Tell me, could you come up in Europe with anything like an offer to have your own show in Las Vegas? Dancing in the Moulin Rouge? Have your show on a cruse ship? Sing in a club in downtown London? Nah, you cannot compare those to America :)
So it's cool, the prizes are great, you got the American flavor added, but it seems, to make the audience believe that what they say
is culture and authentic, you need at least one judge with a British accent. They even topped it with a British show hostess in So you think you can dance.
