It's an Idol-type show I sort of stumbled on by accident. I saw it advertised, assumed it'd be crap and had no plans to watch it, but the night it premiered, my tv just happened to be on that channel, and it caught my attention. I've seen maybe just over half the episodes so far. Each week they have the bands perform songs from a specific artist or band - some of the artists covered so far are Billy Joel, The Stones, Dylan and Elton John. Follows the same format as Idol, they perform then get critiqued by the judges (Johnny Reznik, Sheila E and Dickie someone from an Aussie show, I think?), and then the viewers vote. There have been a wide variety of genres represented amongst the contestants, including rock/metal (a band of childhood to adolescent brothers), brit pop, pop-punk, country, contemporary christian-jazz, and bluegrass-roots.
Surprisingly, the band who has grabbed my attention the most is the bluegrass band, The Clark Brothers. Wow, they can rock out. Very intense. They've left me with chills more than once. I can't see them winning, they're more of a niche band, but I always look forward to hearing what they're gonna do with the covers.
