That's how all these talent shows work, for example the 'first auditions' you see on X Factor are in fact the second or third rounds.
When I found that out it made me feel very sorry for the poor losers who can't sing but think they can and only get let through to be mocked on national tv.

The artist who does not rise, descends.
