Usher Blasts Music Reality Shows  Usher |
Usher, the King of R&B has blasted on the music reality shows for killing the art of music. According to the singer, the music reality shows has given the artist a wrong impression that becoming a singer is easy and it happens overnight.
The ‘Love in This Club’ hitmaker who recently appeared on the US most popular music reality show, ‘American Idol’ has blasted the show and its competitors for making the talented singer a star overnight and then casting them aside.
Usher quoted, "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.”
"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," he added.
Usher also branded these reality shows as a profit making business and added that it has nothing to do with talent.
"There's the record companies that are mass-producing these versions of these people - versions of this broken art. While it works, because it sells records, it damages the business," he said.
