Oh but I'm very much afraid that it is.
it is interesting that this is the "ideal" TV wants to push on us.
My generation was very "in" to pop culture as teenagers but we quickly outgrew it when we entered our 20's. The fascination with pop culture now apparently lasts well into adulthood with 30 year olds trying to emulate these ideals.

I caught an episode and was quite surprised to see two 'big' gals with 'big' voices doing quite well. They were confident, entertaining, and radiated their love of music and performing. I hope they continue to do well in the contest.

But you're right. The lion's share of the contestants I saw in that episode were reflecting a rather unhealthy trend. Pop culture demands that hip men look and act weak and effeminate. Hip women be shaped like children, or boys, but be as agressive as a man (using the feminazi definition). I won't buy into it and don't mind issuing a bit of scorn to those who do.
