I normally avoid reality/talent shows like the proverbial plague so I've not wandered into this thread before, but I was bored and couldn't sleep so I thought "what the hell...". Then I saw you talking about it being rock week and I was drawn in further - I love my rock and metal, and with curiosity well and truly baited I ended up hitting Youtube.

Oww oww oww OUCH!

I've not been following the series at all so I'm not as familiar with the contestants or their personalities, etc, but the guy doing the Led Zep cover had me really confused. While he seemed to have some talent to his voice, he did seem to be having a little trouble deciding who he was channeling during that performance. Robert Plant? David Bowie? Elvis?? All of them at the same time??? The girl with the growly voice who just got voted off might do well so long as they don't try and smooth her sound, over process it and make her heavily commercial, although she is already handicapped by the fact that A.I is where she came to notice.

And just for Maum I'm going to go an listen to some Placebo now. I normally like my men to be very blokey, all tattoos, long hair and piercings, but Brian Molko is pretty much the only girly guy I'd deviate from my norm for. Repeatedly. And hard. With whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives
