Nah, I know what you're saying, but just nah.
You're not following your own dreams when you go into business with him. It doesn't work like that. His business ethics are based on creating an image, rather than developing an artist, which is why these talented everyday people go to these shows. He monetises the hopes and dreams of talented average joes. The contract is one-sided, if the book written by the first X Factor (then Pop Idol) winner wasn't taken down in a lawsuit, you could read about the ins and outs of the actual deal that's made for the winner.
I know most people believe in the Hallmark happy ending when someone gets their "dream" given to them. It doesn't work like that. I mold myself as a person, I'm not going to let some corporate high-trouser cunt make me into what I am.
How do you think Justin Bieber got to where was today? He's such a talented individual, as a singer, an instrumentalist, he played in a jazz band as a drummer when he was 6 year old and he kept up. It's the labels that influence these people and showcase them the way they want to showcase them. Britain's Got Talent is just another medium to make that sort of thing happen.
