where does this come from?

basically this was more of sarcasm than anything else... BGT and AGT are two programs that are hugely popular in USA and UK ...
the format of the program is that ppl come and perform their acts in front of 3 judges and some audience and if they are able to prove their talent then they go on to the next round and if they win the entire competition then they get a huge prize at the end.

i have been following this program for some time and i see that even though many ppl with different talents come and perform there. in the end only the singers and dancers get any credit.

this really pisses me off and hence my post.

Looks like you were really frustrated after seeing that show. Otherwise I don't think I have seen a shorter post that this one.

Also, Indian Television also had such shows last year.

well i was more frustrated with the hypocritical judgments ... the fact of the matter is that different ppl r interested in different things and to assume what is good or not based on ur own convictions is plain biased attitude not befitting a judge ...

anyways the indian shows r take offs on the successful shows of the west... don't forget that the capitalist bastards r just looking for new markets to sell their wares and make more money ...
