What is it about faded alcoholic Country Music stars that Hollywood likes to churn out ever so often? We have another entry from that genre with Gwyneth Paltrow, fresh off her box office bomb, Duets, which told us she could sing, but also told us that we didn’t care. It is not this movie was bad, it was just we had seen it all before and done better.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Country Strong (2010)
Actor:
Gwyneth Paltrow
Songs you might remember:
Country Strong
Why you should vote for her:
Paltrow really can sing.
Why you should not vote for her:
If you want to vote for an alcoholic Country Singer, you can do better.

Hep Alien

We may have not been a huge fan of the Gilmore Girls (seriously, did you ever notice that everyone at the show talks in the same rapid cadence?) but the show did give us a solid candidate in Hep Alien. Formed by Lanie Kim, the band would perform cover songs and would eventually play Seventh Day Adventist Churches and have former Skid Row front man, Sebastian Bach play a role in the band. This might be a dark horse candidate; providing fans of the Gilmore Girls visit our website.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Gilmore Girls (2000-07)
Actors:
Keiko Agena (Lane Kim, Drums)
Adam Brody (Dave Rygalski, Guitar)
Brian Fuller (John Cabrera, Bass)
Todd Lowe (Zack Van Gerbig, Guitar and Vocals)
Gil (Sebastian Bach, Guitar)

Multiple Covers
Why you should vote for them:

Why you should not vote for them:
Were they really any good?

Donna and the Dynamos

ABBA has not had a hit for decades, but their music (and pardon the cliché) has stood the test of time. Former member, Benny Anderson, put together a Broadway musical with ABBA’s music as the backdrop and it became a smash hit. Naturally when you have a major success on the “Great White Way” you try to figure out what to do next, and Hollywood came calling.
This entry showcases the film’s version, which features acting legend Meryl Streep, Julie Christie and Christine Baranski who were once “Donna and the Dynamos”, who are reunited through Streep’s character’s daughters wedding. Mamma Mia was a phenomenon but does a bunch of covers deserve a Hall of Fame entry?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Mamma Mia! (2008)
Actors:
Meryl Streep (Donna Carmichael)
Julie Walters (Rosie Mulligan)
Christine Baranski (Tanya Chesham-Leigh)
Songs you might remember:
ABBA covers
Why you should vote for them:
ABBA remains huge, and this was a decent film adaptation.
Why you should not vote for them:
What did really see of Donna and the Dynamos?

The Bang Bang

Is it safe to argue that the “Bang Bang” are the best fictitious 1970’s British Punk band that are fronted by conjoined twins? That said, we wonder how well that the aforementioned band from the 2005 mockumentary, Brothers of the Head will do on this ballot. At the very least, it is one of the more unique entries on the ballot.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Brothers of the Head (2005)
Actor:
Luke Treadaway (Barry Howe)
Harry Treadaway (Tom Howe)
Songs you might remember:
Two Way Romeo
Why you should vote for them:
How unique is this entry?
Why you should not vote for them:
As unique as it was, how many people saw this?
