If there's any sort of voting, y'all need to vote for Abrams.

That's awesome you know him IRL! At the time of filming, he mentioned that he and the wife were expecting another one...wow. Judging from his bit, he hasn't had the greatest life after Color Me Badd folded. They mention his alcoholism in next week's trailers.

Man Band isn't a voting-type of show, but rather it follows the guys over a three-week period. They got their hard-ass manager in the first episode and they'll be hooked up with the best songwriters and producers in the industry.

Not sure yet if it's fame and fortune they're seeking, and I really doubt that's the case. I think they're just seeking to shed their boy-band image while trying to "make it" in the industry now that they've aged and matured. Looks like it's gonna be rough, though -- the previews showed them being booed at a basketball game.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for all of them after the first episode. Still, I wouldn't mind having a Jeff Timmons blanket!
