The bands will be judged on dance choreography, vocal harmonies, musicianship, vocal quality, image and overall mass appeal.
The rules are bit weird no drums, no electric guitar just accoustic, rock band audition without instrument shud be interesting to watch. Maybe shud change the contest to Boyband or Girlband contest. My aussie frienfs are laughing their *** off man. They say this is the weirdest rule ever no wonder singapore music is forever screwed. Hmmmm I kindda agree sigh....when will this people ever learn.
Maybe i interpret the rules wrongly hmmm any comments guys
