'pushing the demographic up even higher whilst lowering the overall standard.'

puzzled over that phrase - what do you mean?

Personally I like older people having a sing. Although sometimes I do get a bit impatient some of the really bloody awful music you encounter. Its not an age thing. Some people who look relatively normal can sound very strange. A three song spot can sometimes feel like an eternity. Why do all the really lousy singers seem to know such long songs.

And most of its avoidable - if only they asked themselves - would YOU be entertained by that?
