I have never actually watched jewish star so i cant really understand what everyone is saying about it but if it is a chance for jewish kids, teens and adults to showcase their talent then why not do it? yes it may be replicating non jewish tv shows but this is a chance for jewish people to show what talent they have on a jewish show and not showing it on a goyish one. some adults who want to show their talent to the world not just keeping it at shabbos zemiros but are to old for yeshiva boys choir, what are they supposed to do? sing in front of a few friends and hope everything turns out all right? or these adults can prove their talent to talented people(the judges) or even to more people than just their friends and let their talent out their. me as a girl i dont really have that many options. i dont have a yeshiva boys choir to go on, the women concerts that are out there are for grown up women. sometimes i wish i could be part of a yeshiva girls choir, but thats not happening! so instead of criticizing that the jewish star is replicating the goyish ideas lets just be grateful thats theres a jewish outlet for jewish boys, teens and adults to showcase their g-d given talent in a good way!
wow i have never written so much on a topic before in my life!! 🙂
