That's entertainment

THE MAASINHON TRIO has been trending over all local networking sites since Sunday night during the Pilipinas Got Talent finals night. A lot of people have been ranting over twitter and facebook such as "It's Pilipinas Got Singing Talent" and "Season 1 - One voice, Season 2 - Two voices, Season 3 -Three Voices. To win the fourth season, form a quartet." The pattern has been observed. It may be cooked or in vernacular luto kind of judging, or maybe... It's just reality.

Reality TV shows started around the early part of the millenium when the hit reality TV series of placing a number of people on an island, Survivor, broke out. Since then, there have been a lot of choices ranging from reality cooking, to singing, to dancing, to modeling and even reality living. However, the big question still rings out. Is there such thing as reality in television? Maybe no, maybe yes. What we see is really real but producers and editors choose what to show. The like resemble patterns such as the element of drama, fighting, jealousy, etc. Emotions which are relevant to humans.

Talent is even an issue. A million people audition for one title yet there are still some who manage to make fun in front of the camera. Personal choice or production team's choice? A chuckle can buy, a hysterical laughter sells. Bingo, dollars on their pockets for high ratings. The truth with television. A big box full of business.

Not that I'm against the industry as I am planning to go into such field but there might be really something wrong with entertainment these days. Where are variety shows which showcased pure talent, and late night talk shows that sprung out fun? That's Entertainment, sure I remember.
