Clash of the Cover Bands

It's crazy how much effort people put into their covers. Some entertainers look so similar and sound so real! It is amazing and very entertaining and definite worth a watch. It seems like they have a lot of different artists and genres lined up; so keep with it and those who are dissing the show need to be patient until those other big or rock n roll names come up.

I'm a big music fan and this show really intrigued me. Just watched the first episode, and with the grand title of Battle of the Stadium rockers I had high hopes. U2, fair enough, although on the pop side. But Coldplay? No dissing the band, I really enjoy their music, but not a rock band, pop, AOR at best. I was thinking Kiss, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Queen, Rolling Stones etc. Surely there must be some decent cover bands of these guys out there? Just a side note, at the beginning, when the host asked Adam Lambert what it takes to get to stadium status,, what the heck does he know!!? His answer should have been, "Wait for the driving force behind one of the greatest rock bands of all time to die, then camp it up at the audition to replace him." And PS, I haven't agreed with any of the winners they have chosen after 6 episodes. Feels like they're going for popularity over talent.

If you like singing shows this one Is just ok. They need a new sound engineer. The commercials sound better than the show. Not sure where they are finding the cover "people" or bands 'cause some are good and some are just ok. Heck, cover bands in the Philippines sound better than most of these folks - just check YouTube. As another reviewer said, I rarely agree with the judges choice and have a sneaking suspicion they have an agenda. At least the judges are not as over the top as the dingbats on the Masked Singer.

It's a fun show and I like that it generally paints the cover band and tribute band industry in a positive light. I do wish that there was a Simon on the show, or at least tougher judging in general. But still a great show!

Producers of this show should be ashamed for glorifying cover bands. How many more real artists must compete with American Idols and Cover Bands when the real talent is creating original music. This is a horrible trend,
