Votes were for the song, not the performer

No one with talent ever won because the audience didn't like their song. And the audience always voted for slow torchy love songs, so by the time the finals came around there were no fast paced songs left.
What kind of crappy show puts on guys trying to get their "big break" dressing up as Tina Turner and Barbara Streisand?? The last time I checked Robert Deniro and Edward Norton didn't get the attention of producers and agents by singing in a sequined dress in front of infomercial-type crowds, paid to cheer. And what's up with Kid from Kid N Play hosting the show? Hasn't he realized everyone forgot about him after House Party 7? And the other day I saw that Alfonso Ribiero is hosting the show...well not the REAL Alfonso, because he died in the mid 80s doing a breakdancing head spin in a Pepsi commercial.
Those stupid life stories! We don't give a crap about who some loser lives with, or if they have some bottle cap collection. And the lamest part of the show is when they incorporate "this is 'your big break'" at the end of their life story. Shameless!!! Also, Alfonso Ribeiro is so annoying. "...to the finals, where you could win, GET THIS, tweenty-fiiive thooousand dollas" I used to watch this every week, but now, it's very annoying, and you pretty much only have to watch one episode, because they impersonate practically the same people every week. As of right now, this show is the worst thing on TV.
What is the deal with the performers on this show? Why do they have to perform as someone real? Every performer imaginable has been impersonated, even someone unexpected such as Joe Cocker or Bob Seger. But the singer from Blood, Sweat and Tears? Gimme a break on THAT one. More than one Elton John, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, and Janet Jackson impersonator has been on this show. But only one Madonna impersonator (as far as I have seen)? Find that heard to believe. Britney Spears impersonator? Eewww. my whole point is, why can't people performing on the show just be themselves? I mean singing "My Way" or something by Madonna may be all right, but what is the deal with the impersonations? Not all these "everyday people" (no allusion intended, and for the record, I don't think Sly and the Family Stone has been impersonated on the show) sound like their favorite performer, though many do. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate this show, but don't know why they have to have this format. Who's next among the impersonations?
