Just weeks after appearing as a mentor on the current ninth season of American Idol, Usher has blasted TV talent shows for contributing to the demise of the recording industry.(This coming for a man who’s latest single is entitled “Lil Freak.”)
The multiplatinum-selling crooner is frustrated with hit shows like Idol and The X Factor, which he credits with making celebrities out of talented singers only to cast them aside months later.
“The true art form of music is being lost, because it seems so easy that everyone can do it, and that it can happen overnight. Television is a lie. It can’t happen overnight. The artist who thinks that it can just comes and goes,” he says. “The reason why great singers cannot exist in this time is maybe because they’re not properly managed, and maybe they don’t understand the full gamut of what being an entertainer is. We’re dealing with an industry that is slowly but surely dying, every day.”
