Is anyone else watching this show? I saw it last night. They had the Motels, Tommy Tutone, Vanilla Ice, and the Knack. Thursday night Howard Jones , Irene Cara, Cameo, Sophie B. Hawkins and Wang Chung will be on.
The premise is that these old bands sing their big hit, then they compete with a current song. The winner gets $20,000 donated to the charity of their choice.
It is interesting to see what they look like and if they sound good. They had Tiffany on the other night. She tried to sing "break away". It was really bad.
A few months? Are you sure? Their last album was like... 2 years ago-ish. I do know they're still around, but I really don't pay much attention to them anymore. But their first album was just so huge, that the fact they fell into obscurity is funny.
I think the show isn't necessarily only people/bands who no longer perform, a lot of the people who've been on it have had albums recently. Tiffany had one a couple of years ago, so did Vanilla Ice.
Thankfully wang chung haven't.
