I watched bits and pieces of this show both nights. I liked Storm or whatever her name was who sang "Pinball Wizard," and I agree that the dude from Toronto looks like an alien. He also seems like the kind of guy you'd very quickly decide you wanted to kick in the crotch, but maybe he'll improve upon longer acquaintance.
And the guy who got booted--didn't the judges give him good comments the night before? I understand that the judges might like someone the audience doesn't so it's not like I'm surprised that he ended up in the bottom three, but I sort of assumed he'd therefore have the best chance of being one the judges decided to keep. And then he sings Duran Duran and out he goes. Ouch! He must be wishing he could have a do-over on that one!
Also: I must be getting old, because I realized partway through the show that most of the candidates look exactly alike to me. They all have that "edgy rocker style" with the tattoos and the piercings, and I can hardly tell one from the other. It's a little weird.
If I were a contestant on this show, the single question I'd be asking myself is, "How confident am I that this band won't suck?" Because really, just because these guys are all famous doesn't mean they'll have chmistry with each other. And Gilby Clarke was in G'N'R just as they began their slide to irrelevance, so that's no recommendation. (Although I will say he has a very good-natured face. I'm beginning to like him.)
