Ladies Love Franklin Bridge

We're back at it again, Team Franklin Bridge! But before I go any further in this week's Franklin Bridge post, let's watch their performance on last week's The Next Great American Band, shall we?

Did y'all hear what lead singer Curt Chambers said? "I don't know man, I think the ladies love it." Do the ladies love it? Damn skippy, Curt! After hearing Franklin Bridge belt out their original song, "Love's Fool," and the Elton John and Bernie Taupin hit, "Philadelphia Freedom," I suspect that women across the land were gasping and swooning. As quiet is kept, I'll admit to having moment myself, but I digress.

Despite getting some tough love from the judges last week (overproduced? PLEASE!), Franklin Bridge really is the band to beat on this show. However, that will only happen if people watch the show and get their vote on afterwards. Tonight the field of 10 bands will be whittled down to 8, and they will perform songs from the Billy Joel songbook. Tune in tonight to FOX at 8 PM EST/7 PM CST to see the fellas put it down. Right, ladies?

I'm feeling Franklin Bridge's style. I saw their first video in addition to this one and really loved their swagger. It's so refreshing to see brothers playing in a band. One can only take so much dancing (Chris Brown, Usher, etc.) before singings acts are start to look like one another. Franklin Bridge is very refreshing in today's R&B music culture and makes me feel there is hope for black groups who play instruments and that black music groups who play in bands didn't die out in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Being a former musician myself (sax and piano), I'm glad to see this. Franklin Bridge is definitely on my radar.
