Per the promo on last night's show, AI producers are definitely moving forward with a reality TV quest to find the best unsigned band in America. Read more here.
Basically, the format is going to be exactly like AI...the top 10 bands will have theme nights, get comments from a panel of judges and get votes from viewers.
This probably seems like the most unsuccessful AI spin-off ever. As the article notes, band-themed reality TV shows have been done before. But the successful ones focused on MAKING a band ("Making the Band") or adding a new member to an existing band ("The Search for the Next Doll).
You just can't have an AI-like competition with bands. Too many people to follow. Viewers already complained that this season was devoid of strong personalities. Imagine what would happen if you had to follow 10 five-member bands. That's 50 people. Um, not happening. I say the show is just further evidence that "Idol" alone is on the decline.
Will you watch it?

They'll probably just focus on the frontman. It'll be a bunch of Gwen Stefanis and Gavin Rossdales that people vote on, not the band as a whole.
Not cool. American Idol doing a "band show" is like Fred Flinstone winning a Nobel Peace Prize, it's just random and disconnected.
NOTE TO AMERICAN IDOL PRODUCERS: Work on the SHOW YOU HAVE AND IMPROVE IT. IT'S GETTING BORING WITH THE PREDICTABLE FORMAT. DON'T DO THE A.D.D. THING AND GET OFF TASK OF YOUR ORIGINAL GOAL. You have to be smarter than that.......or not.
Keep up the good work.
