I hope to see a lot of you who are unsigned or on tiny foreign labels sign up. The worst they can say is "No". Maybe when you win this, we can all say, "We used to speak to him/her on the ProgPower board".

What a farce.

It is what it is, if a band thinks they have what it takes it doesn't hurt to try.

I just can't imagine that the American Idol audience is ready to digest any of our beloved prog/power metal, so I suspect that they'll have a bunch of emo wannabes and/or coldplay clones on the show.

I have to give credit where credit is due though - American Idol "discovered" Chris Daughtry and he's as close to metal as that show has ever allowed, so maybe there is still hope.

This might actually be interesting if a Death Metal band go into the finals(when hell freezes over) and they have an R&B or Country theme or something equally opposite on the spectrum. And they growl it like whoever it is that does the beatboxing or whatever to every song.

LMAO Imagine growling that country song "My kid something something ate all his nuggets to get to the prize of his happy meal, and my pickup truck stopped and he said a four letter word that started with S" lol sorry I crack up everytime I hear that song playing on someone's radio. The other one about the little girl who lied in class is a funny one too.

Hands down the funniest song I've heard this year. I laugh uncontrollably every time I hear it.

By the way, this is by no means an Idol-type cometition. The band will be expected to do covers in their OWN style. For example: Let's say it is country week, and Odin's Court (for example) was to do "Black Clouds", they would be expected to do the song as Odin's Court would do it.

Peace, (and good luck to all who enter)
