OK, let me see if I understand the problem.

There's this televised singing competition, that people voluntarily audition for, hoping that they can be on TV. They show up with their dreams of being the next BIG POP IDOL, (and becoming rich on their talent), and sing for qualified, talented judges. Sometimes they suck. If they suck, the judges tell them they suck. If they don't fit the mold of the competition, they are usually told that they're not right for the competition. One judge is totally honest in his opinion, and tells it like he sees it, having been in the music world as a successful producer where time is money, and sometimes the truth hurts people's feelings. And we need to feel sorry for these people who get their 5 minutes of fame on national television (that they volunteered to be on, and waited in line for hours to participate in) because someone told them that they suck. Which, by the way, they did.

Oh, and it's not only the young, slim and beautiful who get on the finals, nor win it, but it's the SINGER who has the best voice and whose talents inspire the audience to vote for them.

Oh, I get it now. I feel terrible for these poor innocents.

Not.
