It's just too confusing!

The Ovation channel has just begun airing Classical Star, like American Idol but set in London and in search of the next Itzhak Perlman or Wynton Marsalis. Is it high brow? Is it low brow? I don't know! I mean, it's Classical music, so I'm inclined to think high brow! But then, it's a reality show following these kids and seeing them with their stage moms, etc, so maybe it's low brow! Argh! Then there are the performances, high brow! But then there are the judgments! Low brow! It's a Sisyphian task to tease this question apart! A veritable Gordian knot! Now I understand [insert impossibly erudite and esoteric anecdote concerning an impossible conundrum, here].
