Absolutely not! The violinists that Don mentioned are musicians. The
appeal of American Idol has little to do with quality musicianship, and
everything to do with sex appeal.
I shouldn't complain though. You can't have music without sex. Without
sex, there wouldn't be any people, which means there would be no music.
