Actually, yes, you are missing out. While I don't kid myself about the integrity of the show, I have enjoyed American Idol from time to time. Taking singers and having them change genres every week is a pretty damn interesting concept, in my opinion. How many of our favorite artists could crossover to another style of music? To me, that's the funnest part of the show, watching singers trying to stretch themselves and perform well in a genre they're not comfortable with. Beyond that, though, I don't much care for the show.
