None of the American Idol winners are bad or average singers.....was the show staged to get more exposure and viewers? Yes. Did the show produce any mediocre or bad acts? I don't think so!! In fact it produced some of the most successful acts of the decade (00's), like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, David Cook, Adam Lambert, Haley Reinhart, David Archuleta, Clark Beckam, just to name a few.... clearly the people who got into the show, knew what it was a about, being aware that had both positive and negative sides...if anything, anyone who got picked to be on the show should've been grateful for the exposure and knowledge they got from being in it, instead of complaining about it being impartial.....it is a chance, and when you are a struggling musician looking for a chance, it is as simple as taking it or go the harder route and get a recording contract while being a "nobody".
