Tonight is the premiere of an American Idol Spin-off that isn’t really anything new. There have been ‘battles of the bands’ pretty much ever since there were bands. Putting it on Fox and having phone and text in votes is what makes it like Idol. That and having judges whose opinions don’t really matter. The band in the above video is participating. They are very established and their manger just saw the chance for some free promotion. they are not REALLY aliens, it’s a gimmick.
