American Idol started it and now there are easily a dozen singing contest shows on American television. High School Musical popularized singing to young moviegoers and their parents and Glee made singing a primetime feature event. We've seen the immense popularity of Broadway musicals like Hamilton and 2017's movie The Greatest Showman.

Everyone loves to sing. Singing and listening to others sing makes us feel good. There are few forms of expression more compelling, more human than the sound of a human voice singing.

The singing contest show auditions have clearly demonstrated that not all of us should sing in public. Some of those with no gift love it so much that they are willing to risk a Simon Cowell one-line zinger to try out.I suppose there is some TV entertainment value in showing those auditions, but that is not the key. These shows are dream makers.

They have made instant megastars out of unknowns like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. They have created careers for dozens of unknown singers who risked it all to hone their skills and pursue their bliss in front of millions.
