Hosted by Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dog the show is showcasing 56 original performances with each act representing one of the US States and Territories. I don't know how each state act is chosen but oh well, whatever. Best act determined by on-line votes. I've seen a few decent acts in the first and part of the second episode (on now). Much better singing/song contest than the other tired 'idol' type shows.
Nothing says "art" more than decision by popular vote. The worst thing we could import from across the pond, is Eurovision.
..the answer is no. My wife had this on and she turned it off saying how horrible it was...and SHE LOVED American Idol...watched it faithfully.
