After the first seasons, they aren't thát much into singers anymore, especially for the reason that it'd be kind of odd if singers keep winning all round talent shows. In Britain's case there were George Sampson, Diversity, Spelbound. Sure, every now and then a singer wins but definitely not always. And people would still pay to see each of those artists or groups perform. The only thing that is required by the producers of each Got Talent-show is that it's a solid and marketable act.

In case you would have the most amazing acrobatics group in the world that has only been together for a month, there would be no way that they would win the show because they have not shown to be solid enough on the long term. Even if they would be the public favorites, they wouldn't win. Same thing for surprise acts, stand-up comedy and such things. Singers on the other hand are as solid as can get (the chance of losing your voice is a lot less than the chance a stuntman breaks a bone or a comedian gets less funny).

And let's not forget that usually the people that get the furthest, were actually invited by the producers to take part of the show. And the producers always have some professionals (who really don't need the show anymore) join too, to boost the viewing rates and popularity of both the show and those artists. Welcome to the world of television, lol.

But enough Got Talent-talking. This thread was merely on Joris' and my act and me answering la0o9's questions.
