Amy Lee Slams TV Talent Shows

16 Apr

Evanescence star Amy Lee has joined the ranks of celebrities opposed to TV talent contests after slamming producers for asking the general public to turn nobodies into stars. Just days after British soul star Joss Stone slated American Idol, Lee is attacking that show and band recruitment challenge Rock Star for helping music labels cheat in getting fast hits. The Fallen singer snarls, “There’s a lot of shows out there where it’s like, ‘You pick who’s gonna be the next singer of…’ or whatever. “It’s hilarious and depressing. It honestly is the most depressing thing ever, because labels just don’t have faith in their musicians. They just don’t have faith in artists. “Nobody knows what the industry is doing right now and it’s just, like, up in the air, so it’s like, ‘Well, let’s just let the fans call in and decide…’ It’s just frustrating.”
Rather old news, but still interesting…
