Has anybody been watching?
The last two nights were actually pretty good. I originally had my doubts about the series since it has some connection to the people who do Survivor but I’ve been happy about it. It’s cool that Dave Navarro and the guys from INXS have such large roles in the show, I think that seriously adds to the credibility. The singers competing on the show are (for the most part) really good. I’m not sure what I was expecting (something lame like Amercian Idol?) but some of the guys/girls can rock.
My only question concerns the band and the lead singer that they choose. If INXS got somebody good (hell, if they got Michael Hutchins reincarnated) for a lead singer and they cranked out an album that sounded exactly like one from their prime years, would it get any airplay? Seriously, is 'DVE going to play something that light? I also doubt INXS has a place in top 40/pop radio anymore and they’re certainly not classic rock. That leaves them to stations like Star 100.7 and I’m not sure if they’ll take a chance on band almost 20 removed from their glory days.
Any thoughts?
