Why do these singers on American Idol always sing such dreck? Or am I generalizing (because I don't see the show often)?
Do any of them ever perform any Mozart arias, or Schubert lieder?
I hate so much of that poppy, sappy stuff from Lloyd Weber & all his copycats. Is that the only **** that these wannabe-famous singers work on?

David, honestly I know you like your classical music and think it's so much more superior but did you even watch the clip fully? The woman said she'd like to be like Elaine Paige ie an actress who works in musical theatre. Since that's the case why would she perform a Mozart aria? Singing a song from Les Miserables makes perfect sense however.
And like Carrie said, this is Britain's Got Talent not American Idol but if it were American Idol it would be even more ridiculous for her to sing what you suggest (since Britain's Got Talent has a wider scope of talent they are looking for, for instance it discovered tenor Paul Potts one year) since the whole point of that show is to find someone who excels at singing pop songs.
