Summer TV
Wow, so this summer's tv programming has been the best that I can remember. Ok, so it's all reality shows, but this year they are actually pretty interesting and fun to watch. I think I've watched more tv this summer than I normally do during the regular tv season!So, last night I caught this new show on CBS called Rock Star: INXS and it was really fun to watch. I had been hearing for a while that a network was trying to develop an American Idol-like show where they search for a rock star, but I don't think it ever really happened. Or if it did, I missed it. But anyway, so the rock band INXS is searching for a new lead singer and they search all over the world (ok, so most of the contestants are from the US) and find 15 people that they've brought to LA who are all going to compete for this position.
Unlike American Idol, we were thankfully spared of going through all the footage of the tone deaf William Hung wannabees. So last night all 15 contestants performed with a band in the Mayan Theater and it was awesome. They sang some of the greatest rock music that we've all grown up listening to. There were quite a few stand outs and some who I felt, "what the hell were they thinking picking that song" or "what the hell are they doing up there," but overall they were all quite good. It's going to be a tough decision for INXS, so it will be interesting to see who gets chosen, but they have already eliminated one person...who will be next?
