It is not like in the 70-ies, when there were so many experiments and so much really good music, made by passionate musicians. Music one could live by and through.
In this country we have some talentshows, where young singers are being coached by experienced older singers. It is really good to see how music can still be a craft that is being executed, rather than the machines doing all the work. Of course, it's TV and also commercial, but still, it is good to see the enthusiasm and the work of these young singers.
There are still a lot of good musicians around, but I can do without the artificial pumped up music that has an identical sound.

The problem with the talent shows is that the contestants only get 90 seconds to perform. They do not get the experience of having to work a room for an evening. It's a fairly mechanical performance with zero interaction between the crowd and the artist.
