True. Although, I have been happy to see the last few seasons on Idol, anyway, contestants being allowed to play instruments and show a bit more originality. It's even mentioned if they write their own songs. While the "best" contestant doesn't necesarily win, at least the others get some exposure, which I think is good.

Oh, HELL yes!
Getting back also to AndrewG's comments, a while back, I saw Beyonce perform with Tina Turner on some awards show. Now, Beyonce is a beautiful girl, and very talented, but IMO, Tina blew her off the stage (in spike heels, no less!).
