For me I think the contestants are pretty good.
They all look and sound like seasoned vetrans.
For some reason when I see the band members playing on some of the songs I can't help but think that they look a little immature.

What I mean is that the music doesn't seem as fresh as someone stated. I think it looks like a bunch of middle age guys playing pop songs.
I think it's a fine line.
Robert Palmer's music which sounds almost the same.. I think he can still pull it off.
But I see more of a Huey Lewis and the News with these guys.
It just doesn't look that cool.
Even with the quaf in their hair.

maybe their new albulm will mature as they have but I don't think so.. because I don't see them as growing musicians.

When I think of someone maturing with the music I think of Sting or Paul Simon.
Ya know.. Exapanding themselves musically.

INXS just look weird and out of place playing this stuff.

Just a observation.

Overall I think its a pretty good concept of a show.

Once again, I'd rather See this done for Van Halen

Hey if the Kids buy it.
than all the power to em.

Even though I do think William Hung is the man for the job...
