Should Someone Just tell Them

[DaveM]

that they just suck long before allowing them to further embarrass themselves to this type of degree. I cannot understand that a parent would encourage their child into doing something like this.

I really feel sorry for some of these people.

I'd get more satisfaction watching paint dry than watching X Factor.

This is because telling the truth hurts people's feelings and since we live in a world where feelings > reality means having this go on. Of course as you can see, all that protection from the truth only built up the pain they would feel once the first person comes along and says what should have said long ago and that is they aren't talented and should just go do something else.

In Finland either we like to encourage idiots or the performers know they're bad and it's self-irony.
I can't quite tell which is it.
