But what percentage of the show is done without music? I don't watch it, but I do recall that they allowed people to play instruments did they not? That's a great change, but it doesn't really change the fact that they are performing other people's songs. I'm not saying they have no skill, they have a great deal of it. People use the term karaoke because it demeans the accomplishments, but there is very little else to compare it to.
