Actually a court of appeals cannot decide that.

A court of appeals can only decide whether or not the trial court correctly followed procedures and existing legal precedence. It is entirely possible for procedures and legal precedence to be completely unfair (they have been many times) but if the trial court properly followed them, the court of appeals must support the trial court's decision.

If the court of appeals decides that the trial court failed to follow procedures and/or existing legal precedent, then the case must be retried in a trial court.

Results of talent contests should be decided by judges and not the audience?

Yes. I think that results of talent contests should be decided by judges and not the audience as the audience will only support their own idols. They will vote for them and think that their idols should be the ones who can win the contests. This will results to having some people who don't actually have the talents to win the contests. Thus, these contests will be counted as unfair.
