that first band was terrible... the singer started singing at a completely random key at the beginning of come together, and took about 2 bars to reach the right key, which was clearly too low for him to sing. had he practiced the song at all beforehand?

outer limits pleasantly surprised me.. i thought they were actually quite ok. knox was quite funny to watch.

i thought it was silly that they had awards for 'best band', 'best vocalist' and 'best guitarist' but then only 'best all round musician'. its like theyre dismissing bass and drums as minor and not as important as the rest.

Mr west is t3h ghey.

That is a really harsh comment. OK they weren't the best band, but they were first to perform, and had obviously never performed before a big croud before, especially not one with all their friends in. Also, they did get progressively better, and did a good job of the last song after they had gotten going, and i actually enjoyed it

I wasn't too impressed with the nameless "winners". I enjoyed Chocolate Box and Padula more.
