Well, of course X-factor is heavily built towards singers.. because.. it's a singing competition.

But you are right, the production team is all for the money. Got Talent shows started off as one big singing fest for the reason there is extra money in the mass CD sales.

However, the producers will be getting money for whoever wins no matter what kind of act it is.. because they will be in charge of the agency that will be managing the winner (who signed for that, not exactly like a record contract but more like a promise contract that if you win, you may not deny the prizes you are getting, including but not limited to a management agency). So it really doesn't matter what kind of act wins.

Lately, those shows try to bring a more variation as for the kinds of entertainment. Less singing, more dance and other acts (acrobatics, etc). The production quality of all the Got Talent shows got worse over the years though, which is exactly what I define as 'commercial rushing' as can be seen in the art of magic. Less money into the production, bigger profits in the end.
