Blondie singer Deborah Harry has condemned the popularity of reality TV shows, insisting music moguls are giving youngsters false hope. The 63-year-old star accuses show producers, like American Idol judge Simon Cowell, of encouraging talentless youngsters and wrongly promising them a career in the music industry. I know this is wrong and it is like playing with the careers of young minds all who think that these busted up so called celebs can make them famous too and they can have all the luxuries that they command and can fulfill all their dreams. But on the other side if contestants reach to the audition round of the reality contest then there has to be some potential in them to have made it so far. I think on the flip side of things, Deborah is the one who is out of tunes with today’s times, things have changed and there are far greater opportunities for young aspirants today than ever.

  1. Has there really been anything better than blondie in the music business or anything cooler at least . ok given hip hop which they helped create and the rave days of the 90 s . this is all creative and innovative music . Seems all the music business wants to do is repackage , repackage and sell us back things that we,ve already heard over and over .
