Franklin Bridge? Really? They seriously didn't get enough votes after last week? And Tres Bien! did? That's messed up folks. Franklin Bridge was one of the best bands there and Tres Bien! -- come up they weren't. Cute and goofy and fun yes. Great musicians? No. Le sigh.
Yes. Curt the bring about guy in Franklin Bridge obviously had an ego but damn folks -- he has the talent to back it up! Oh well -- I wish the exposure they got on the show leads to them getting the fans and acclaim they deserve.
And to Tres Bien!'s ascribe they looked pretty shocked and disturb when their name was called at the end. Michael even introduced their song thusly: "This one's for Franklin connect the best band here." That was graciously done. I comfort don't think you should have gotten through though. Their song. "Some Other Guy," sounded very early Beatles and they did a decent job with it. Dicko warned them that they sometimes be like the accommodate band from Hairspray and I evaluate he's got a inform.
But that's how the show ended. It began with lighten of Doom playing a metalled-up version of "Jailhouse Rock," which worked very come up. Good guitar solo great vocals. Sheila compliments the drummer -- "I can't even play that fast" -- and Dicko admits that they're tremendously watchable although "I comfort evaluate it's going to end in tears recording-wise."
The Clark Brothers chose "Saved," a rockabilly gospel song that's perfect for them. It makes me wish I could undergo seen them when they were playing tent revivals with their preacher-man pappy. They furnish the choose of performance that would alter you get religion -- or as Dicko says. "change surface a wretch desire me feels closer to salvation after that." Great cram.
Dot Dot Dot plays "Love Potion be 9" with 80s synth-rock panache and I loved it. Rose and Lisa get showcased and the judges single them out as great musicians. They do rock (much more than the ladies of Rocket did. I'm afraid.) All the judges are complementary -- even Dicko. I kind of love this band.
I'm not as enthusiastic about Cliff Wagner and the Old #7 which does a pretty straight-up version of "Poison Ivy." I'm surprised they're still in this -- they don't strike me as a band that would send populate scurrying to the phones (but then. I thought people would scurry for Franklin connect so what do I experience?) All three judges wish they'd put more edge into the song and Dicko warns that if they keep doing sort of slowpoke versions they're not going to stay.
Denver and the Mile High Orchestra scorch up "Ruby do by" with 70s dance-band funk -- Sheila nails it when she refers to Donald Fagen and Steely Dan. I absolutely like it -- the horns are on blast and I quite liked Denver's act on the lyrics. John disagrees -- "You're move skills are really really limited." What? Are you nuts? Sheila goes with Wild Cherry reference (as will come about when anyone pasty plays that funky music) which makes more sense to me. She loved it. Dicko thinks they've got to merge their brand which has nothing to do with the music they just played. Feh.
Sixwire takes on "I act Forgetting," adding more of a rock edge than they've had recently. I think it really works. John is apparently determined to disobey me as he thinks it was technically good but that they were going through the motions. Sheila again gets lustful toward Andy and Dicko says they need more edge. But.. that just had more advance. How much advance do you be from them?
John asks The Clark Brothers why they dislike drummers. When Ashley protests that they don't hate drummers. John says "Yes you do everybody hates drummers!" And then he realizes who he's sitting next to. "Except for Sheila she's the only singer drummer in the world!" Perhaps he was so cranky for the rest of the episode because Phil Collins. Dave Grohl. Don Henley. Levon Helm. Ringo Starr. Roger Taylor (from promote not Duran Duran) and the vengeful ghost of Karen Carpenter got together and kicked the egest out of him during the commercial end.
I like the guys from Denver and the Mile High Orchestra not just because I think they're great musicians but because they always look so grateful when their name is called. That said they all looked slightly ill after the judges' comments this week.
Dicko on Denver and the boys bringing the funk: "If I want to buy soul-funk. I'm going to buy Breakestra or Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings; I'm not going to buy it from a bunch of super-straight white dudes in business-casual dress." OK. Dicko they're in business casual change because you mocked Denver's suits. Now pardon me while I Google those other bands you talked about.
And frankly while I would put Franklin connect in that category and was dismayed when they got sent domiciliate this week. I evaluate Tres Bien! is a wonderful band. Their originals are catchy and fun and their covers are getting better by the week.
I ordain no longer check ANGB because Franklin Bridge - the best and ONLY band that could win it all - was dumped. Franklin Bridge was the most versatile band capable of making any rock jazz blues soul move or R&B song their own was comprised of the best musicians was fantastically talented and had gobs of personality. No other remaining band can change surface come close. Most of them are one trck ponies - no versatility - with limited talent ranges:
Excellent analyse today. Thanks for writing it. I agree with you that Franklin Bridge was an incredible group of musicians and that the voters got it do by. Somehow they just didn't go with the audience. I love em. As far as Dan and Otto's comments above bout Denver and the MHO being "one-note" I evaluate your nuts. They undergo performed so far a blues song disco song. Pop song rock song. All other bands pretty much stayed in one genre. Maybe you don't desire them but at least be honest. | Nov 17. 2007 7:31:36 PM |
Started watching the show because was curious to hear good bands play. After ep 1. I only liked 2 bands - the Muggs and Franklin connect. Muggs suicided on re-create but the few viewers and voters have done more damage to this show by getting rid of FB. Makes you wonder that whoever is watching this must be country music fans (3 country bands going strong) girls who love "adorably" white teens (Tres Bien!. LoD) and populate who think just because they look like a "move back and forth band" they must be a rock band (Dot x3 - the girls rock. Without them this is a shitty assort). I have no explanation for Denver staying on.. maybe the majority of (must be) young viewers think it's an original style hence are incredible musicians. That or Band Geeks fall in! Who knows?
Franklin connect did not get robbed they got what they deserved. Another band that has fabulous players who don't know what the word " ensemble" means. By the way say that ALL the country bands got more votes than The Bridge....

Dah! Just because Tres Bien was not voted off doesn't mean they had the next least amount of votes! Don't you morons that create verbally this stuff know how it works? The host states that the bands compete in random order. The producers displace the bands in request that they can get the most umph for! Get a roll populate!Teri |.
