The Eurythmics' Dave Stewart is the latest artist to diss the current trend for finding artists through TV talent shows. He said: "These days, kids go straight from TV shows such as 'Britain's Got Talent' to performing in vast arenas. The TV shows shoot them into the charts and create instant stars. But it's all so fast-paced and manufactured that the kids aren't prepared. And if we're relying on talent shows to produce our stars, we won't have music that endures. We won't have bands like Pink Floyd that have lasted for a quarter of a century".
