Thanks Petunia for the link.
I just have to say I don't care about all the politics and the fighting of "you should know about it before hand because that's what the show is about."
This isn't really what this is about.
The problem here is knowing right from wrong.
I've watched the show and there are many times that they put ppl down for their singing and let's face it many times these ppl should not be singing. Okay that's one thing, but then they go onto make other comments about what they look like and many times it gets out of hand.
And that's exactly what happened just like that time with the asian boy last season. ( I can't remember his name), but he got in the spotlight because of it as well.
The show is about an audition to become a singing star. It's what Simon professes time and time again. It does not however give him or anybody else the right to tell them they look bad and put them down as a "person"
They are there to be judged as a possible singer and performer. Well get to the point and tell them and be done with it.
Now as far as Kenneth Swale and Johnathan Jayne are concerened. Well after hearing Johnathan talk and you hear his innocence. I think it's incredibly sad to know what was said to him and that he can have the "much better" attitude then anybody involved.
Many ppl say "ppl should know what they are getting into."
It's easy for you to say that, but for some who really believe that they have talent and they may have a shot OR that they have a learning disablility and again that maybe they have talent who Are YOU to say they should know better?
I think YOU should know better and I definately think that panel should KNOW better then to go over that line.
My son is disabled and really it doesn't have anything to do with that ...I mean yes your heart maybe pulled more, but everyone deserves to be treated with some amount of respect.
That show is more about bullying and being made fun of until they get to the performance part and what's sad is most find that to be more entertaining.
Says a lot.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If you don't agree with what I have to say you are entitled to that as well.
I just needed to vent because when I heard Johnathan speak I really was upset about this issue.
