No, not Britney Spears but a new reality show starting 9pm Thursday on NBC. "Veteran hitmakers perform and compete! Based on the popular UK show of the same name, "Hit Me Baby One More Time" tracks down hitmakers from the past and they take the stage in a new competition in which you're the judge! Former Top Ten artists return to perform their trademark hit song along with one of today's current hits. At the end of the night, the live audience votes for their favorites!" This week's performers: Flock of Seagulls, Arrested Development, CeCe Peniston, Loverboy, Tiffany. "Coming Soon... Wang Chung, The Knack, Irene Cara, Sophie B. Hawkins, Cameo, Tommy Tutone, Vanilla Ice, The Motels and more!" http://www.nbc.com/nbc/Hit_Me_Baby/ Might be worth watching just to see the old groups again...

It could be fun, or horrifying, to see how the groups have aged. Either way, I'll be watching.

I go for fun AND horrifying! I wish I could have seen the UK version, I don't recognise half the bands they mention.

Kitt, we might not recognize all the names of the bands, but I'll bet we'll recognize most of their "hits"--those of us who listened to popular radio the past few years anyway. Looking forward to this one as a fun alternative to summer reruns.

I'll be watching for sure. I recognize the NAMES of almost all the groups. But of the first group, I remember Loverboy songs the most, I guess (Waiting for the Weekend and Lovin' Every Minute of It).

This show reminds of when Pure Prairie League came and played at a festival here, I think in the 80s. Of course we love the song "Aimee" and we can all still sing along with it, but when they played, we only recognized maybe one or two other songs and then began to wonder if those were the only songs they ever did and that's what we remembered! We never realized they more or less "one-hit wonders!" LOL

Loverboy was the first (and one of the last, LOL) vinyl albums I owned. I can't wait to see Arrested Development. I still love jammin to Mr. Wendel.

Vanilla Ice? When he went on Surreal Life, he talked about how much he loathed that persona/part of his life. I guess he didn't hate it as much as he let on, eh?

Vanilla Ice was just on a VH1 (special) - something like "Remaking or Reinventing Vanilla Ice". They also did one on Taylor Dayne, who's also trying to make a comeback. She has an awesome voice!! But Vanilla was stubborn with the people (wardrobe, aerobics, musicians) and didn't want to change anything. All he wanted to do was smoke weed. He's still going nowhere!! I was hoping that the "Remaking ..." show would be a series but I only saw two of them - about a month ago. And then it stopped.

I am very excited to see this show! I absolutely loved "Bands Reunited" on VH1! Krit -- I watched "Remaking" as well (I am a VH1 junkie, can anyone tell? ). There have been 3, with Vince Neil as the first (and to me, the best)...

I was also surprised to see Vanilla Ice's name. He was so adamant during Surreal Life NOT to be associated with Vanilla Ice. He only wanted to go by Rob Van Winkle and his "new" music was Rock (or some variety there of) What I was wondering about this show was if these groups come back and sing their old songs - or if they're back to showcase a new image/sound? Because then I could see Rob (as well as the others) doing the show - so he can try to gain exposure of his "new sound" and further reinforce that he is NOT Vanilla Ice. We'll see soon enough! I'll be checking it out. I was a BIG fan of Loverboy and can't wait to hear them.

Watching, I saw the Eagles last night... every word, every song, know them all! I have tickets to see them in September as "Farewell 2" rolls along. Vanilla Ice needs some sort of award for appearing in so many reality shows. In addition to what's been mentioned above, he was also in "The Farm" last year. That was a Big Brother-type show in England.

Bonza - I'd love to see the Eagles!! I'll have to check and see if the tour comes near here or not. My DD laughed when she saw the ad for this show and saw Vanilla Ice. I think she was in 4th grade and her best friend came to school dressed as him for Halloween. LOL (They're now both 21! Wow, time flies!)

Wow - seeing the list of Loverboy songs brought back so many memories. It's funny how a song could bring you right back to a place 20-25 years ago! I'd have to say "Turn Me Loose" was/is my favorite. saw the Eagles show too. Was really good. I saw Joe Walsh in concert like 4 times back in the 80's. Loved him! But those were his "drug years" and the concerts were sometimes a bit - um... "not tight?" But as long as he did "Life's Been Good" (and the audience singing the words to the Live version) - it made it worth it for me. Anyway... looking forward to watching the premier episode of Hit Me Baby One More Time tonight!
