The most common variation of this sentiment, that i tend to see, is “bring back idols who can actually sing”. I’m sure there are others though – like dancing, stage presence, certain type of look/vibe etc.
Thing is, i don’t really understand where this sentiment that the bar is lower comes from because for me, as someone whos been around since 2nd gen, the only thing that’s obviously changed is the preferred sound and trending genres. Other than that i can still surely see killer vocalists/dancers/rappers/visuals all around – and if anything i feel the bar is just going higher, like you are expected to be more and more all rounded, more and more perfect in your skill. The average skill level across each gen feels totally the same to me…
Also certain patterns have always been around since the start, one example being skill not necessarily translating to popularity.
So tell me – what’s changed for you? Maybe you do agree that some standards have dropped. Maybe it’s more of the inclination towards certain elements have changed. Maybe idols are more accessible now! Etc etc.
