...why give the winner a record deal? He/she/they didn't win because of 'talent'.

I'm fine with the show giving us entertainment on a Saturday/Sunday night, but it don't like how it creates 'artists' that downgrade the quality of music.

if you tell the patient the pill you are giving them is a placebo, the placebo effect doesn't work.

Yeah, instead of a '1 million pound contract', just let him/her walk away with '1 million pounds'.

Or a nice toaster and a gift certificate to a store of his/her choice.

If its all about the music then it wouldn't matter.

I suppose given that its a competition to try and find a star (even tho as the title of this thread states, its only another entertainment show), they have to keep in tune with that and give em some sort of related prize ...

Plus giving them a record deal means Cowells company can reap the rewards of record sales and everythin else that goes along with it !!

Of course it's an entertainment show. If anybody thinks otherwise, they are an idiot.

That would cost them more, though, & they wouldn't want that.

You get a record deal to make Simon lots of money, if the winner fails to sell enough they're out...you don't get a career, that's up to the artist.

This is why sometimes it pays not to win.
