Episode Recap; We Have a Winner!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everybody! My Christmas gift to you is that you can now leave your house on a Friday night. Just kidding. I'm looking forward to going out to eat with my wife again, but at the same time I'm really going to miss this show. Admittedly the show was not progressing very well near the end, but it was still entertaining.
I guess could talk about the cheesy Christmas medley featuring many of bands that got cut this season or I could talk about how the other band members in Northmont must feel to once again essentially be told, "you suck" while the singer gets praised. Then again, I could talk about The Likes of You opening the show with the best song I've heard in the past three weeks or the weird editing that put Sheila E. saying "Thank you, goodnight" in the middle of the show. Maybe even the fact that Jesus got a heck of a lot of props from Ashley's wife or the awkward way of telling Denver and the Mile High Orchestra they were cut. But I won't.
Instead, I just want to talk about the fact that for the first time in the entire run of this show, I finally predicted something right! No, no. Let's instead give it up to The Clark Brothers. Of the three remaining bands, I'm happy they took the title and the guaranteed record deal (though you can assume Sixwire will get a deal as well). They were not my favorite of the bands, but you definitely can see how much better they are than most of them. It's funny how I never noticed it more than during the medley at the end, where the only part that made me stop taking notes and look at the screen was their performance of "Last Christmas".
I'll be very curious to follow these guys now and see what kind of album they make and if they actually sell any copies. As I've mentioned in the past, I have a feeling this will be a one-and-done deal, but who knows. Strange things happen in music these days and there have been a lot of comments over the weeks from many of you that are completely gung-ho over these guys. So maybe they'll sell a couple million and go on to be superstars. Or will they go the reality route of Flickerstick. I guess only time will tell now.
Thanks to all of you that commented on the blog this season. Give me one last comment to tell me what you thought about The Clark Brothers winning it all and let's also dig way deeper into Dominic's "until next year" comment than we need to.
Take care, friends.
