Reply To: "A Jewish Star"�Not Very Jewish

A good point was just made. Think of the guy/kid who loses. What does he feel like? Worthless. Yes, he went on of his own volition, but does that make it permissible? Does that make it right? We should be about building people up not tearing them down! And everyone other than the winner gets publicly ripped apart.

The whole thing is all about going ga ga about some guys tone range and shaming another fellow about how his voice is painful or needs work. shaming publicly? check. Tearing down youngsters self esteem? check. kissing up to the TV world? check. Destroying our values? check. Horrible chinuch? check. Bitul zman? check. Promoting narcissism? check. Not Jewish? check.

Are there any redeeming merits to this un-Jewish thing? NO
