Madonna has told America's ABC Radio Network that she is not impressed with the Pop Idol style shows, though not because of the questionable talent on the programmes, but because viewers seem to enjoy contestants failing more that succeeding.
Madonna: "I think people are obsessed with other people's failures or heartaches and I think it gives people a certain kind of a thrill to watch them (contestants) go down. I don't like them."
Asked if she would enjoy talent shows devoting a episode to her music, Madonna replied, "No, certainly not".
