American Idol fans...

...should watch Great American Band. It was on last night at 8pm. It was really good! The judges are Dicko ( yeah we had funn with the name) some record dude from New Zealand I think, Sheila E, who's a really good judge) and John Resnick from the Goo Goo Dolls. There are some really talented bands that made it. There's a band from Nashville that I fell in love with called The Clarke Brothers.

Amazing talent !!It's something the whole family would enjoy.

Shoot, we meant to watch it and missed it. A band from here with friends of Mr. Pod's made it--Dr. Zhivegas. They're in the commercial for the show. Did you see them, OL?

Of course, being the biggest AI fan here, I watched last night.
It was fun, even though my whole family was not as into it as I was.

Here are some interesting tidbits for you: the two girls in the band DOT DOT DOT, were in a band with Gina Glocksen, from AI, called Catfight. They are out of Chicago.

The Clarke Brothers - loved them btw, one of the brothers played fiddle for Carrie Underwood!

I couldn't pick a favorite last night, I liked almost all of the 12 they whittled down to. A huge variety of musical genres - even a big band, who was great too!



OL: didn't read your whole post - of course we would both like the Clarke Brothers

Ooooh...I could get into this. When and what network, please? (Sheila E is one of my feminist musician heroes, and Resnick is just plain hott. Worth the price of admission right there.)

I don't remember them but they went through some of the ones that made it pretty fast. I'll have to look for them.

We caught part of it. Enjoyed Sixwire. Did you see when that dicko guy said, 'You were hot." and the blonde singer/speaker gull thanked him and he responded, "Not you. You" , pointing to the gull next to her. As if... :roll: She just grinned and kept answering their questions. Maybe he's going to be "the bully" judge. :angry:

;-) Dot Dot Dot had some energy didn't they? Sam loves Fall Out Boy and I told her the lead singer reminded me of Pete Wentz after a few energy drinks. Love the tidbit, so glad you're watching so you can keep us up on all the latest.

Was that Sixwire...the all girl band? And yeah, he's the Simon of the group.

Thanks for the info, OL. We have always been addicted to AI. Love Sheila E because she was associated with Prince, and he rocks!

Sixwire was 6 guys from Nashville. Were the all gulls dot dot dot? I believe they made it through. I didn't get their name thouigh. Also what was Sheila E's big hit back then, you know that MTV video in the 80's ?

No prob.looking forward to weekly discussions.

I missed it too - football game and all. But I will definitely watch. I'm even hooked (sort of) on the World's Most Smartest Model (or something like that.)


And yes, mermaid, I TRY to watch all of the reality tv shows. ;-)

I recorded this tonight but haven't watched it yet.

The all girl band is Rocket.

Sixwire was good - they were the ones who had a record contract which didn't work out. The judges said they were most professional. They definitely look like a band who has been around.

They said their sound was "Edgey Country."

Flames dead.

don't care.

Sixwire
Franklin Bridge
Clark Brothers
Rocket


I loved them all! Their original songs could all be hits! Tres Bien was good too, Hatch, ok, Muggs - great bar band, Cliff Wagner, great bluegrass, and Denver, great big band but not pop. Light of Doom - for
6th graders, not bad but the no shirt thing was kind of weird to me. They need a couple of years I think.

I agree SM..I don't like the no shirt thing either. They're amazingly talented for their age but they need some time...to grow a few whiskers or some body hair maybe.

I am in love with the Clark Brothers. They're my favorites.

Got home late tonight so I ff'd thru alot and need to rewatch tomorrow.

Supermom, tonight I saw Mark Lowery in concert. He wrote the song "Mary did you know". He's an awesome storyteller/singer and comedian. Best show I've seen in a while and I laughed so hard my belly hurt.

I love the Clark Brothers too - they are my favorites, followed closely by Franklin Bridge. I heard that not only was Ashley Clark fiddler for Carrie Underwood but they played with Shedaisy too!

The Likes of You and Hatch were eliminated Friday night, so now it is the Top 10. I wonder if they will do a tour of the Top 10 like American Idol?

All of the bands left improved from last week. Rocket's lead singer's voice is probably the weakest of all the lead singers. I have no idea who will leave next week. Maybe Cliff and Muggs?

I still like the Clark Brothers and Franklin Bridge. Denver and the Mile High Orchestra was pretty good too!

On tonight at 7:00 central.
I found another American Idol connection to one of the bands: Melinda Doolittle used to sing with some of the guys in Denver and the Mile High Orchestra!

Tonight is Billy Joel night - each of the bands left have to do a cover of one of his songs. I heard a spoiler - a couple of the bands had the judges going nuts, they were that good. Sad to say, one of the favorites mentioned by someone above is going home tonight!

AHH, it's recorded but haven't watched yet! I can see Melinda Doolittle with them...so cool.

Love the tidbits SM!!!
