Would this type of "AMERICAN IDOL" show work?

LOL!
would an American Idol type show based on people playing instruments work? Why or why not. Would anyone watch or even care? ...lol

The general public would have a hard time judging and voting on technique on an instrument.

Though I'm not exactly a huge fan of Pop Idol shows, I'd like to see a version of it (if they are produced anyway) where either

- people have to play an instrument (guitar, piano) in their performances or

- whole bands take part with their own songs (like some kind of band contest).

Could be a change from the TV karaoke usually shown.

You'll probably have a bunch of emo bands thinking they're the best thing since sliced bread.

Could be. But that's still better than having a bunch of under-the-shower singers thinking they should be popstars.

I guess the combination instrumental/vocal could be interesting .
Singing while playing guitar , bass , piano , drums , percussion is a great challenge .
