NGAB - Top 12 Performance Reviews

Before I begin, I am having a hard time remembering some of these bands. Can't find any videos at all. I'll keep looking and I may modify my comments once I watch again. Let me know what you think in the comments!

1. Denver and The Mile High Orchestra

I like the premise of a Big Band, but I'm not seeing the X-factor or any records being sold. They were pretty good and I could hear the vocals, but they need to be a lot more current.

2. The Hatch

I am writing my reviews the morning after and I honestly don't even remember them. Not a good sign.

3. Light of Doom

Great fun, but vocals are really weak. They blew the first two bands away though. Stop screaming and try singing...we'll see how it goes. On a side note if anybody cares, Vote For The Worst is supporting this band. That is if anyone is even watching?

4. The Likes of You

I liked this band except for the falsetto stuff...hated that. Save it for the studio, leave it off the show.

5. Rocket

I don't know if the lead singer can sing or what? I can barely hear her. Again, tone down the instruments volume and turn up the singing.

6. Cliff Wagner and the Old #7

They were good, and I would enjoy them at a summer festival, but they won't make it very far. They aren't going to be selling records to anybody. They are too old to make anything current.

7. The Muggs

I love these guys...at least until they start singing. The vocals are weak, but they are amazing musically together. Committ to the vocals like Dicko said! They'll stick around!

8. The Clark Brothers

These guys have a great look, especially the lead singer. It's a little wierd for me to just have the three of them, but at least I could hear the vocals. I expect them to stick around for awhile.

9. Tres Bien

Another band I don't remember. Sorry.

10. Franklin Bridge

Of all the bands that performed I think these guys have the most "current" sound, and therefore are very marketable. I think the lead singer has a great voice, but I wish I could hear it better. I'd like to see them tone down the instrument volume and tone up the vocals.

11. Dot Dot Dot

I really thought the lead singer toned it down alot from the auditions, and for me that made them alot better. The judges were probably more critical of them then any other band. I don't think it was deserved. If they really listen to their critiques and apply them I think they could go deep into the competition. They should take a lesson from Six Wire...less is more.

12. Six Wire

These guys were great, and they should be! They've been together for 7 years I think they said? What I liked about them is their vocals could be heard over the music which is as it should be. They played together as a band though, not a solo singer with some background instruments. The other bands could learn something from these guys. I think they should go deep into the competition, but will all of their songs start sounding the same?
