Singer Nina Persson has slated television talent shows like 'The X Factor' and 'American Idol'.
The former Cardigans star told The Daily Telegraph: "I am a total pop monster. I'm from the country of Abba."
"But I think you can use pop to much better things than it sometimes is."
"It doesn't have to be worthless, throwaway music. I think pop deserves a better destiny than 'American Idol' and 'X Factor'."
