Dot Dot Dot Is Gone Gone Gone

dot-dot-dot-eliminated.jpgOn what I think/hope is the third-to-last episode of The Next Great Fox Ratings Disaster American Band, the four remaining acts took on the catalog of Queen. Would the staunchly Christian Denver and the Mile High Orchestra scrub the “gay” from Freddie Mercury’s compositions? Would teenage metallers Light Of Doom predictably cover “We Will Rock You”? Would I actually hope for a Dot Dot Dot performance? Would this episode’s ratings get trounced by the ones pulled in by a Don’t Forget The Lyrics repeat? The answer to all four of those questions is yes! MORE »

@dennisobell: Well, consider the context. I'd take their competentcy (and I didn't think it was *that* dull) over 2/3 of the other remaining bands' lack thereof.

“The Next Great American Band” Is No Longer Tres Bien In Our Book

tres-bien-eliminated.jpgLast Friday, the five remaining bands took on the catalog of Rod Stewart, a choice which raised many questions. Would the noxious Denver and the Mile High Orchestra somehow make Rod’s cover of Tom Waits’ “Downtown Train” even worse? Would the teen metallers Light Of Doom play a “funny” version of “Forever Young”? Would something happen on this week’s episode to make me even less enthused to keep tuning in? One of those questions can be answered with a definitive “yes!” MORE »

The Six Remaining American Bands Roll Around The Stones’ Catalog

dotdotdot.jpgIts ratings are lower than WWE SmackDown! and just barely ahead of the Law & Order: CI reruns that New York’s myNetworkTV affiliate shows on Friday nights, but The Next Great American Band continues to soldier on, boosted no doubt by the writers’ strike turning TV into even more of a wasteland than it normally is. With seven bands to go, the latest episode had the bands tackle the Rolling Stones’ catalog, and the results were–unsurprisingly–mixed. MORE »

@dennisobell: I missed the last episode, so then I guess I'm not qualified to judge Cliff Wagner... that's OK. I can hear real bluegrass any day. Yeah, Danny's voice leaves something to be desired, but until you've seen him riff on stage wearing a hand-knit budweiser sweater you haven't lived. Maybe he'll get voice lessons- the Muggs are GREAT musicians and super people. Too bad the country had to meet them on a reality show.

Franklin Bridge Gets Sent Back To Philadelphia

MORE »

First of all, to DHMBIB: That Fergie song is about "London Bridge", not Franklin Bridge.

Secondly, Franklin Bridge was probably one of the most (if not the most) talented bands in the competition. If anybody was "offended" enough by him altering some lyrics to send them home, they're petty individuals.

It’s the slowest news day ever, so here’s a maybe-true spoiler for The Next Great American Band! If it’s true, the producers sure are going the “shock elimination to goose ratings in a big way” route early. And yes, Dot Dot Dot will be ruining a Lieber and Stoller song on the telly tomorrow night. MORE »
