Judging by so called "perfect vocals" the majority of the top musicians from decades gone by may not have made it.
I mean look at John Lennon and Paul McCartney, quite possible the best songwriter partnership that has ever existed and overall they weren't the greatest singers. They just had "it"
You can put nearly everyone that has made it into the category of just having that and it's something you can't really bottle and sell (which is what the talent shows try to try) for a consumer.
This is why every mother and father think their little girl is the next Mariah Carey...it's like sifting for gold, you'll find some nuggets but you'll have to go through a lot of crap to see it.
As i've said i'm not a fan of the idol shows, but i'd be first in line for the hypocrisy train if i was offered the money and opportunity they have been, those that make it and can make a living from it i have huge admiration for without having to like their music.
And then there's the likes of Jedward...if someone is willing to pay so much money for them to "perform" i say fair play to them, grab it while you can
