It is nice, that is all.
The main problem with all of these shows are the judges. The only way to properly assess the talent of all these people is to have a panel of judges for each field that the contestants are being judged on. At least the panel of judges on Dancing with the Stars are from the field of dancing.
That is not the case with Simon and the other two judges. And it then just becomes a popularity contest, a popularity contest that gets promoted through the internet.
Really, all Simon is looking for is the contestant who has the most schtick or gimmick, someone who he can put on a CD label and earn the most money.
Because without some schtick or gimmick, these contestants are going nowhere in the real world.
That is not to say they do not possess some talent. All I am saying is, some talent is not enough. And that has nothing to do with training or exposure either. You need more than "some talent".

Simon is a record producer who else would be better at assessing whether or not someone would be a successful artist or not?
He seems about as qualified as you could be to judge these contests.
