I counted SEVEN people with the word "Producer" after their names during the end credits. 2 of those where Mark Burnett & Tommy Lee. What a load of LAME CHOICES TO BE ON A SINGING CONTEST SHOW!

CRIMINY FLIP!

Seriously. Only 3 of those contestants stand a chance, and at least half where flat out piss poor choices. Are they looking in the wrong place or just clueless? If I was a CBS exec heads would be rolling.

Of course, I'll still watch though.

Knockin' On Heavens Door dude has the best combo of pipes, look & attitude, Black Crowes dude is great if they wanna be Maroon 5 (which they don't I'm guessing) and last dude will get the gig.

Jock dude was horrid! Gotta love Gilby-"That sucked". Tell it yo!

[acb]

was that last dude missing a chromosome? were his eyes below his nose or something? yikes

seriously, the show is a bunch of wannabe posers hamming it up for a one-off opportunity. pretty boyz + silicon girlz screaming look at me. equally embarassing are desper-rockers like tommylee selling out for commercial tvtime. singers 20 years younger than the rest of the so-called band assembly is one way to suckseed.

i wish my wife wouldn't put that crap on the tele.

i gotta start reading books again.

[Jack C]

Those were some disappointing choices. Black Crowes dude sounded good but was too damn smiley-happy. That would get annoying.

It seemed like that dude who sang Roxanne basically decided to ditch the melody and just focus one one note for the entire song. It really bordered on a monotone performance. Gilby told the truth - it sucked.

At least they brought back the house band dummer. That dude kicks ass. Hell, all of them do.

[hamertek98]

I didn't watch for a reason... 2 Names... Super Group. Or should I say grout. The Nuge was himself, gotta thank him for that. Bio-what? Let's see if he can get a free ad for porn again. (his wife is HOT). Skud Row? Bonham is a good choice. Ian is the player for that show. Good side fiddle. Let's see if anyone one on the HFC will come up with their own supergroup.

Hell, I think R. Zander has the best vocals!

i thought the freakey looking chick who sang nirvana was good, but the last one (ape boy) was the best. props to gilby for calling them just as i was at home ("that was pitchy, dude", "that sucked") haha.

dave navarro is an average player and somewhat of a tool IMFO.

house band was slamming (i think that's ralph morea (sp?) who plays guitar w/ pink and recently was arrested for assaulting a student at g.i.t. where he teaches).

I agree with all of this. In fact, there should have been many more "that sucked" comments, but you can tell the after-song segments are heavily edited, so who knows?

Ape Boy has the whole package, image and vocal talent, certainly more so than any other contestant at this stage. He's got that Udo Dierkschneider appeal to him.

It's something I never thought possible, as who knew any existed in a Nickelback song, but the Canadian chick sucked all the power out of "How You Remind Me." She or the "Roxanne" butcher are the obvious choices to go.

Add Navarro to the list of guys who were better/cooler when they were on heroin.

Newsted should have been the new bass player in Gov't Mule.

Lee is precisely in his element.

[silentman]

Out of all the 'singers', I counted 3 or 4 with some potential. We'll see what else thay sing.

As soon as they introduced the ROxanne guy, I said "Oh, no" to my wife. Awful.

[Scooter]

Damn! I missed the show. Sounds like a display I would have enjoyed.

[elduave]

He's got that Udo Dierkschneider appeal to him.

Dude, I was thinking the same thing. TOTALLY reminded me of Udo!

[hrtatak]

Jill(number 13) the short blond gal that sang the Janice Joplin song is a backup singer for Trans Siberian Orchestra. She has a set of pipes.

It is kinda sad if those are the best 15 singers that they could come up with.

I am pretty sure MC Chris hit this out of the ballpark and sums it up for me.

Lee is in his element.

I was looking forward to seeing some potential talent. I lasted two singers and turned it off. Masters of whatever, and lame talent shows are giving me more reason to turn off the idiot box and pick up the guitar.

Last night, the TV Hamer Junior got placed back in rotation. All that talk about Virts and single pickups got to me.

Oh, there were singers on the show?? Mr. ctrixie was happy about the return of Brooke Burke to summer TV...

[MCChris]

Atta boy!

She seems less wooden this year. I, of course, will be quite the opposite, thanks to her.

[silentman]

I gotta disagree. She still sucks as a host. And her clothes aren't any better. WTF was that she was weraring? She's been off my hot list for a while. YMMV.

You're a tough nut to bust, Lou. Agreed about the wardrobe though. Horrendous stuff. Makes it easier to picture her naked though.

+1. She's hot and all, but a terrible TV host. And please Brooke, stop using the word "rocker". UGH!

Not to tough, actually, but I guess she never did for me. Now Carmen Electra, she does it for me.... Navarro connection...

I didn't tune in quikly enough to see her perform, but if the Patrice Pike that performed on the show is the same Patrice Pike that's played around Austin for years, she's really good.

HA! Beat me to it! I watched this last night and saw her sitting w/ the group and recognized the tats..kinda wild she's doing this show. Yep, she's good. My buddy Darryl played bass for her in Sister Seven aka Little Sister. They had a recording deal and went around the world at one time.

[jerseydrew]

I'm gonna add my 2 cents. I liked the show last year and I'm gonna watch it again this time. One of the reasons I liked it was because of the House Band. They are awesome. Each and every one of them. I also enjoy the music. You're not gonna hear disco like American Idol.

I couple of things that bothered me. Out of the entire world, that's the best 15 available? I don't think so. I like to look at Brooke Burke but she talks too much. Plus I didn't like her outfit. She should change every commercial.

But the biggest thing that bothered me is Dave Navarro. Who made this guy God? I wonder what kind of girly shirt he'll be wearing tonight?

You make some good points. But, Navarro is actually pretty well spoken, and it is usually interesting to listen to what he has to say. Burke would just continue to look goofy if she changed outfits--someone needs to teach her how to dress (other than Navarro--I think they swap clothes back-and-forth).

I'm hoping to go to a taping soon, it should be interesting.

I don't mind Dave N. He's at least somewhat entertaining. Brooke B. is lame bore of a TV personality, no matter what she looks like.

[Jack C]

I actually like Brooke - and I don't usually care for the over-enhanced, celebrity skank types like Carmen Electra and Pam Anderson. She looks nice, seems nice and doesn't say anything overly stupid. She's exceeding expectations just by doing that much.
