Want to be on X-Factor? It Will Take More than Just Talent...

When you think of Britain's show, Britain's Got Talent, one name that always comes to mind, especially for Americans who don't get to watch the show, is Susan Boyle.

Boyle was the show's most remembered and arguably the most famous contestant ever, even though she did not win. Her incredible talent shot her to instant fame, however, she was not prepared.

Boyle proved that she cannot handle large quantities of stress and the high demands of fame. She broke down after losing the title last year and ended up in a hospital.

On the tour Boyle was given the privilege to perform only when she she felt she could handle it. Many people bought tickets just to see her perform, and were then disappointed when she decided not to perform.

Boyle was a singing sensation and and kept Britain's Got Talent in the news, however, it also caused many headaches and nightmares to those who worked on the show.

In order to avoid this problem from occurring another Britain talent show, The X-Factor has developed a new policy. Now, not only will contestants be judged based on talent, they will also have to go through a psychological screening to determine if they can handle the show's high stress and demands without having a breakdown. Counsel ours will also be available for the contestants at all time to help them along the way.

Do you think the new changes are necessary? Should a contestant be judged based on their mental stability or just their pure talent?
