Singing contest by MTV feturing the kids of famous singers.

The nine contestants are A'Keiba Burrell, daughter of rapper MC Hammer, Landon Brown, son of Bobby, Lara Johnston, daughter of Doobie Brothers singer Tom, Chloe Lattanzi, daughter of Olivia Newton-John, Crosby Loggins, son of Kenny, Jesse Money, daughter of Eddie, Jesse Blaze Snider, son of Dee, Lil B. Sure, son of Al B. Sure, and Lucy Walsh, daughter of Eagles singer Joe.

Thursdays at 10pm on MTV. Repeats pretty much everyday of the week.

Some of them were good, some not so good.

Some were very good and true, others weren't. I didn't get some of the way they judged. I liked A'Keiba but giving her a 10?! I didn't see that. I thought that Crosby Loggins was much better than the judges did.

Oh I didn't know Al B Sure's son was on this. He's a cutie. His mother is also Puffy's babies mama, Kim Porter.

Oh wait that may be the wrong son I was talking bout. The one I'm thinking of is named Quincy.

I didn't "get" what the judges were doing w/their scores either. At least on my TV, some of those they raved about, sounded really BAD to me. I couldn't get over how Crosby makes so many of the same facial expressions Kenny does when he sings! I used to watch hours and hours of concert footage of Kenny back in the day! I'm rooting for him......... and I actually threw him some votes online. :-)

The judging was a bit inconsistent, to say the least, but it was interesting, though some of them made me nervous in that way when someone is kind of off and you feel for them.. and some really have some talent, even if they are a bit nervous.

I saw Crosby on an interview (somewhere) and he sounded like a jerk and a little bitter towards his dad. 'don't care much for the son Footloose, but it did put groceries on the table'
sounded really bitter

I thought that A'Keiba Burrell and Lucy Walsh were about the best the other night. On the other end, I thought that Landon Brown and Chloe Lattanzi were about the weakest. Chloe kept mentioning that her earpieces weren't working or something. Maybe that's what affected her performance. I don't remember her quite looking that way in the past either. I looks like she had something done to her lips.

I don't know if it was just my TV or what, but sometimes the the backing band sounded a bit too loud. Heard the bend more than some of the performers.

I thought the judges were bad. Maybe they didn't hear things on the same level that we did...they would rave about performances that were off pitch all the way through. I agree Seamonkey that they were inconsistent...not only with each other, but with how each evaluated people from performance to performance. It made me wonder if it was a popularity contest, but also it occurred to me that entertainment may not be best judged by entertainers.

The camera seemed to catch Chloe at weird angles and she seemed to hold her face in weird expressions. I am hoping for her sake that she watches the tape and then practices in her mirror. She was not the worst singer, but I think the look and her lack of rapport with the camera impacted how I felt about her.

I didn't think many were horrible, but also didn't think many were very good. Still, I felt for all of them. It must be tough to be a rookie in a business in which your parent has acclaim. I thought must seemed like nice kids and hope they continue to improve.

Hmmmm Annie. The interview I saw with Crosby he was saying he didn't mind hearing his Dad's songs a lot since they put cereal on the table, which seemed sort of in a joking way to me anyway. He did say he took a lot of flack about being Kenny's son, esp. since he was around people big in the music industry all of his life. I'll have to listen more closely to see if he says something else or if they play that interview again. I saw Kenny quoted as saying Crosby had been put under a lot of pressure because he was his son. I met Kenny back when he was still w/his first wife and they had their little girl who was born the same month my son was. Crosby was about or a year older than my oldest DD, I think. I'll have to check his age. Anyway, we were both having kids at the same time, although he went on to have more w/wife #2, who is now ex #2. I was disappointed when he and his first wife split.

New episode on now.

Lucy Walsh is automatically safe from having top score last week. She'll sing later. Rest of the contestants will be called to perform if they made it. The famous parent gets to pick the song this week.

Jesse Blaze Synder up first. His dad picked "Rebel Yell" for him. Pretty good scores, I would have scored him a bit higher. He's totally hot and sings really well.

Lara Johnson (who I thought would be gone this week) up second. Dad picked "Respect". Better than last week, but not great. She did get accepted to a bunch of colleges (NYU, USC, Berkley) because he dad made her apply as a back-up plan for singing. Scores okay 31.5.

Akeiba Burrell-Hammer third singing "Killing Me Softly". A bit pitchy, but overall okay. 30.5.

Forgot to put Jesse's score - 35.5

Crosby Loggins dad picked "I Don't Wanna Be". He's not comfortable with it being out of his genre, but rocks it anyway. Scored 32.5. He was better than that. Belinda gave him a 6!

Landon Brown up singing "Superstitious". Hard to hear him over the band but I liked him. He's talented, but not as good as his dad. 33.5 (the gorgeous bare chest helped).

Al B Sure picked "This Woman's Worth" for Lil B. All of it was in falsetto (not my favorite style to listen to). 25! I didn't think it was that horrible, but pitch problems and not very exciting.

Lucy Walsh sang "True Colors". Her dad picked it but he is away in England on tour. Her outfit was ugly. Sounded good, not great, but she didn't try to sound like Cyndi Lauper. Oh, her dad was able to fly in and surprise her. Score 31.

Final choice between Chloe Lattanzi and Jesse Money. Chloe stays, Jesse eliminated. Chloe crying her head off because the host dude apologized sadly and told her she had to stay and sing. Olivia chose "I Hate Everything About You". Band looked a bit stunned at the song. I do not like her singing. The song is just weird too. Score 27.

Jesse Blaze is safe from voting, the rest are up to the public.

Chloe sure doesn't look like her mother. I'd never guess that was her daughter. My son especially doesn't like what looks like cologen injected lips and he thought she sounded terrible, too. (She was the only one he walked into the room to hear and of course, being "Mr. Rock Star" *LOL* he thinks he's an expert.) Anyway, I didn't like her either. I thought it was really rotten when I forget which judge - the stylist lady, told the one girl that she looked like a 40-yr-old woman! Geeeze, she might not be "hot" but I thought that was a really low blow. I also thought Belinda Carlile (sp?) was way off with some of her scores. I thought Cody was a lot better than he was scored, esp. by Belinda. The other guys seemed to "get him" and that one guy was right, he was really good on the 2nd part. I missed the performance by Jesse and a few after him since my VCR had lost power and all the settings were gone, so no replay for me!

Chloe was definitely not born with those lips. LOL

This show really doesn't do much for me and I think its because I don't know who any of the judges are. Never heard of them before.

I thought it was appropriate that she went home.. it was sort of painful to hear her and watch. Judging seems erratic, and some seem praised when they sound pitchy.

Definitely not the best show going.

LOL.. shows how I wasn't paying attention.. Chloe Latanzi stayed, much to her own surprise.. just saw that on Reality Remix and must have suppressed that knowledge, even though I just watched the recording of the show earlier today.

Chloe then had to sing and it wasn't pretty.

I finally got caught up on the show this weekend. I think it's pretty entertaining! It would be very hard to be the parent - seems like they could get criticized for any criticism but at the same time they don't want to lie. Nice of Joe Walsh to show up, and I don't mean that sarcastically, I mean that it was very supportive especially since he doesn't like reality shows.

Did they ever find out what happened to Chloe's father? And speaking of the other parents, I have noticed a few of them in the audience but they weren't introduced.

Something MUST be done about the audience. I do not tune into a program to have the audience drown out everyone who wants to talk. I can't imagine the performers really enjoy having the audience boo at the top of their lungs every time a judge tries to give constructive criticism. Not to mention the ridiculous arm-waving.

Blade Snider rocks!

Is the host twelve years old?

I just caught up on the internet. Landon Brown is HOT! I thought his pants falling off (practically) while he was singing and his grabbing his crotch were very distracting, though. He doesn't need to do that! (Lil B. Sure got called on the crotch-grabbing by one of the judges, but I didn't even see him do it.)

Poor Chloe just seems too emotionally fragile for the music business. I'm really afraid for her. And it wasn't her father who disappeared. It was ONJ's boyfriend that supposedly fell off the boat a couple of years ago.

I was laughing at the body language and lip-reading Jesse Money's reaction when the host was dragging out the results. I saw her use the F word more than once <76> and did you see her smack the host's shoulder when he Seacrested her (". . . after the break")?

This show reminds me a lot of that Rock Star show that was on a couple of summers in a row, with Brooke Burke and Dave Navarro. I think it's even the same band (they are HOT--I had a serious crush on the guitar player!).

Anybody watch Thursday's show? I watched it online yesterday. My, my, did Jesse Money have a meltdown over being voted off or what? Not pretty.

Jesse Blaze Snyder is one talented (if somewhat arrogant) guy. I knew he had to be kidding about singing "We're Not Gonna Take It" as a ballad. Glad I was right, cause he rocked it. He might have this in the bag.

I find Chloe just odd. She has the potential to have a good voice, but she's a little out there for me. I like Loggins, Jr., but he is a little boring.

I was not surprised to see Akeiba go home. She's a lovely girl, but she just didn't bring it and she did dress like she was going to the office last week (that's what June meant by the "40 yo woman" remark, Watching--it was about her clothes, not her). I loved that MC Hammer still said, "Daddy loves you and is very proud of you." Brought tears to my eyes. Sounds like something my dad would've said.

Chloe has the strangest voice. I just don't think she's a good singer. It almost sounds like a cartoon singing.
