You would think that The Next Great American Band would at least rate a live finale, but no: The last episode of the series, during which the winning band was crowned, was actually taped Sunday night. MORE »

Oh good, the band I wanted to win won. And the band I wanted to come in second place came in second place. And the band I wanted to never hear from again wasn't mentioned. Maybe it's not such a bad show after all!

Oh no! The just-voted-off Light Of Doom is claiming that the music supervisor for The Next Great American Band totally screwed them over during Queen week, a.k.a. the week that led to their exit from the competition: “The show’s music director Ricky Minor arranged ALL of the music for us this week.

@dennisobell: well, to be fair, 'stone cold crazy' would have been a MUCH better choice for them. and if that thing about the drums is true, then they definitely got screwed.

IT'S ALL FIXED FOR DENVER AND THE SHITTY BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA

“The Next Great American Band” Staggers Toward The Finish Line

light-of-doom-eliminated.jpgIt was kind of embarrassing when the host of The Next Great American Band touted the two million votes received by the show’s phone lines last week, although you had to give him credit for trying: Compared to this year’s record sales, after all, two million does sound like a big number. (Which makes one wonder: Is the prize of a record deal really all that great? Another question for another time, I suppose.) Anyway, with only three bands remaining, each band got to perform three–three!–songs; two covers selected by the show’s powers that be and one original. And the post-show voting would be not for the purpose of saving a band from getting voted off, but to allow one band to declare victory! Which fanbase would sacrifice its Friday night for the chance to make their band No. 1 on one of prime-time TV’s lowest-rated shows? MORE »

clark brothers are actually i think one of the better performers. i felt dot dot dot could have really been a great first American band winner...but my heart is to clark since dot has left. denver could never be marketed toward the 'money' audience. and i dont think we need another brooks & dunn plus three..but who know? and with a friday 9pm time slot, i guess who really cares huh?
i think the show could have been a success..
