Through the haze, these fans can see their TV/musical idols.
If the male members of the Ballas Hough Band are into blonds and cougars, they shouldn't have had a problem getting laid last night. As the clock approached 11, a steady stream of MILFs and overdressed young blonds filtered into the bar. I'm pretty sure they were all coming from the Sprint Center -- and the suburbs before that.
Ballas Hough Band is like a pop smoothie. If you put Enrique Iglesias, Gloria Estefan, Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Prince, Maroon 5 and Montell Jordan (I swear I heard some variation of "This is How We Do It"), you might get something approximating this band. That's not all bad. It was definitely danceable. And I was reminded of the first time I saw Maroon 5, way back before anyone knew who they were. Three years later, my mom became a huge fan. I expect the same will happen with the Ballas Hough Band. That's cool.
Here are some photos I took last night. One of them includes Maurice Green, the really fast runner who was on Dancing with the Stars. Or so I'm told.

The new Ballas Hough band CD caught me offguard. I thought it was going to be another wanna-be cross over act. Surprisingly though, I was head bopping and toe tapping throughout the whole CD. The vocals vary between songs that keeps it interesting and entertaining. Vocals you can actually hear and aren't drowned out by the music but the music is an important part to the song. The 3rd track "Closer" has a latin-feel to it and is really a good song. Track 5, "Longing For" introduces Emily Grace's voice to the mix and the combo of her femal voices lends itself for this song to be thousands of couples "song", good words, slow and up-tempo in the same song. All around I think this CD is great!
I'm going to the show in New Jersey on February 6 at Mexicali Live in Teaneck! I got my tickets at Ticketweb.com
