America's Got Talent Has Better "talents" Than American Idol.
The adverse talent blows away the American idol contestants, hands down? Agree?

Well, maybe.

American Idol focuses only on singing though, whereas America's Got Talent focuses around singers, dancers, magicians, comedians and so on.

SO in terms of quantity, yes AMG has more talent.

Not really a fair comparison.

"America's Got Talent" got good ratings, but not much else. It really is not any better than American Idol--both are dire, mawkish television programs that serve as a platform for truly mediocre participants who behave as though they are taking part in a popularity contest, and not a show actually aimed at scouting out real talent and creativity.

Getting viewers to vote is never a very good idea, because many of them seem more interested in whether or not the performer looks trendy, rather than in the sounds that come out of his/her month while singing. If you look avant-garde--in a teenage sort of way--and have mediocre talent when it comes to singing, dancing or performing more generally, you might just scoop up the prize. If you have a great voice and display some creativity, but come in dressed as though you just popped in after finishing work at your telemarketing job, you're toast. There's something really wrong with this degree of superficiality.

Sorry, I think America's Got Talent is a glorified Gong Show, except with the Gong Show at least you also had the funky gong and goofy host.
