Should Talent Shows Be Restricted on TV Channels?
An opera singing contest was held in my hometown recently and aired on the local TV channel. It was then that I realized how talent shows had affected even this small city. Despite the valuable opportunities for potential talents, talent shows throughout the country are now churned out in the same pattern. Therefore, I believe we should restrict talent shows on TV channels.
To begin with, talent shows in China usually feed on gossip and scandals instead of real talents, which exerts a negative influence on viewers. As a matter of fact, talent shows are now turned into highly-commercialized circus shows, to entertain rather than to enlighten audience. "Outstanding", for example, is a talent show on a provincial TV channel, seeking the leader of a model team. It’s apparently a lousy parody modeled after "America’s Next Top Model". The contestants in "Outstanding" go all lengths to stand out, such as eating insect pupas and pulling off the dress of another contestant. It is a lengthy melodrama where contestants are directed to scheme against one another, in pursuit of a higher audience rating. Shows of this kind will only poison audience’s mind.
Moreover, the popularity of talent shows has sparked off unhealthy idol worship. Many so-called fans are in fact "fans", bought and prearranged. A friend of mine, who used to be a fan of one of the "Happy Boys" contestants, admitted that the fan club she joined resembled a cult, where everyone was brainwashed into contributing money to the group and no criticism of the "star" was allowed. Different support groups attacked each other by discrediting the "idol" the other group worshiped. This distorted dynamism behind the glamour and glory on TV is an enough reason to cut down on the number of talent shows, especially those rampant singing contests.
Finally, the prevalence of talent shows creates a delusion of readily-available fame. Young people, who hardly keep their feet on the ground, now dream of a sudden leap to stardom. Their flames of fantasy are further fueled by overnight sensations such as Li Yuchun and Zhang Liangying, the Second generation of "Super Girl". In a talent show, ironically, not everyone is gifted. It is essential to stay realistic. What our society needs is cool-headed talents with substantial competence.
In short, talent shows in China are mostly of questionable quality and misleading concepts. To improve the quality of talent shows, we should restrict the quantity and the gimmicks which have plagued the shows.
