It was only a couple of weeks ago that I found out about what "Campus Superstar" was about. Earlier tonight, I watched it. To be fair, the contestants really can sing, and there's no Simon Cowell around.

Now for the not-so-cheery comments.

To start off, there are WAY TOO MANY talent shows, and I won't even bother naming them. The only thing that sets this show apart from "Project Superstar" is that the contestants are younger. Much younger.

And unfortunately, that's like the thing that I can't stand. Hello, these kids are still schooling! I know that it's good to encourage them to dream, and pursue these respective dreams. But the show goes right into the academic year, interfering with homework and tests and exams, the stuff that really matters. (And I can't believe I just said all that.) And some of these students may think, "Oh, it's okay. I don't need to study. I can sing, and I'm popular. I don't have to worry about my future."

Hmm... Newsflash, kiddo: What are the chances? Firstly, you have to compete with the winners of the chunks of other talent shows. Moving on, has any of such winners actually enjoyed substantial success? Heck, a bunch of them are probably in the midst of collecting dust as I'm typing this.

And wouldn't you find it really ironic that yours truly happens to be considering, JUST THINKING ONLY, about joining "Singapore Idol"? Well, I'm hoping that there'll be a season 3 because well, the upcoming season 2 happens to clash with my, erm, school work.

(Like I'll do it in the first place.)
