the names bands pick up for themselves these days... boredom.
Posted by ME | January 2, 2012 9:05 AM
2 of these bands/artists will have their lead singer leave/split due to "creative differences;" 4 will sign to bigger labels and cause the bands to radically alter their sound; the rest will be unknown by January 2013

Niki & Dove was a pretty good show. I didn't like the stupid on-stage dancers though. Took away from the music.

Calling this now - Lianne La Havas will take top honors in 2012. For those who missed Lianne's show at the living room - wow, what a talent, amazing voice.
