Aren`t there tv-shows like "StarSearch" in nearly all countries? Where you hear/see lots of not-very-talented people try to make a break through, being badly critisized for it from some comittee, and one of them (a bit better looking, but not able to play an instrument etc. person) is declared a "Star"?
Which floor-singers in folk-clubd etc never claim to be?
Do we have to open a thread "Obit: Rock and Pop music" now?
