That's the thing with singers, they sing the songs we are already familiar with.
So when you have 6 out of 10 acts being made up of singers it creates an imbalance which goes against the spirit of variety and has more in common with The X Factor.
Non-singing variety acts have the capacity to offer us something new and fresh which we haven't ever seen before.
