I really believed in the credibility of reality shows. So far. Especially on music shows, such as The Voice of Bulgaria. When we talk about talent, about qualities that are demonstrated, it can't be real, can it? Well, maybe I've already forgotten how beauty pageants were won in the past. Maybe now too, but especially a lot in the past. There, too, things are demonstrated, highly visible things, such as appearance, and yet often the contest is won by not the most beautiful woman and not the one with the most proportional and beautiful body. Now I watched a bit of the music show on TV and found that it had been turned into a market place. Certain people, for certain reasons, are pushed to the finals, and even if they sing falsely at times, which is not good at all for someone who has reached this stage, he is still praised by the judges as something exceptional. Although it is not. And while there are many other people who would have sung this song better. And this with a single goal - collecting money through text messages sent by the audience to push one or another participant to the end. But do you think that everything is determined by the audience? I think that no matter how many SMSes are sent for one person, only the production will decide who will win. That's what happens in honest and trustworthy reality shows these days.
