A '''talent show''' is an [[entertainment]] production in which members of the public show off their ability (or lack of ability) to entertain by giving a performance of singing, dancing, a comedy routine, acrobatics or other novelty. Talent shows might take place live on stage; and they have formed a popular part of [[television]] scheduling. In recent years a new strand of 'talent show' has become popular, in which amateur singers compete for fame and a record contract. Shows such as 'Pop Stars', 'Pop Idol', and  'The X Factor' in the United Kingdom and '[[American Idol]]' in the United States have proved extremely popular. The format originated in the UK and was exported to the US by the impresario [[Simon Cowell]].
