Talent Show
Talent show is a Spotify label for singers and groups who became known through television singing contests.
It groups artists by how they started, not by how they sound, and is not a genre name used elsewhere. The music is mostly mainstream pop, ballads and cover versions that show off a strong voice, since that is what wins votes on programs such as Idol, The X Factor and The Voice. Winners and finalists from many countries end up under the label.
