Respond: Understanding Evaluations
RESPOND •
The last ten years have seen a proliferation of “reality” talent shows — Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, American (or Canadian or Australian or many other) Idol, America’s Got Talent, The Voice, and so on. Write a short opinion piece assessing the merits of a particular “talent” show. What should a proper event of this kind accomplish? Does the event you’re reviewing do so?
