Former Australian Idol judge Mark Holden has told off singing sensation Tina Arena for complaining about TV talent shows.<\/h3>\n

\u201cI love Tina Arena,\u201d Mark told Jade Robran on FIVEAA. \u201cI really do, but Tina complains about the Idol\/X-factor\/Voice shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, get over it, Tina. You came up on your show, on Young Talent Time, and there\u2019s not a whole lot of difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cShe complains about the talent shows. Well, the talent shows have meant that people like Dami Im get up. Guy Sebastian — a Malaysian Australian from Adelaide who, 15 years later, is still having hits on the charts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis idea that they\u2019re here today, gone tomorrow is just not right.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He praised the talent shows for being \u201cdemocratic\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThey take out the middle man and the public gets to choose an Asian Australia with Dami Im, an indigenous Australian with Casey Donovan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhereas the gatekeepers of the Australian record business in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s were more or less white male.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mark’s book ‘My Idol Years’ is out now.<\/em><\/p>\n
