She is wrong its so easy to jump on tv n sing and get a record deal. You don't even have to win these shows to get a record deal. Then these artist from the show drop singles that aren't even that good but because of the show the song does well. Rihanna may not be that great of a singer but at least she worked hard to get her record deal not just jump on a show and became famous over night. I mean come on if its wasnt for these shows no one would care about her, Alexandra Burke, Cher Lloyd, JLS, that scottie guy n the list goes on
