"Rock Star""Rock Star" has been airing three nights a week on the Eye, with segs on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Boosted by "Big Brother," the Tuesday 10 p.m. shows have done fine, but the Monday and Wednesday editions have struggled. So starting this week, what had been the Monday night telecasts -- half-hours featuring the reality TV contestants-living-under-one-roof element of the show -- will shift over to VH1. CablerCabler will air those segs on Sundays at 8 p.m., effective Aug. 7. Eye will continue to air the one-hour Tuesday performance edition of "Rock Star" and the half-hour Wednesday elimination show. Those segs will also get a run on VH1, with the cabler airing them on Saturdays. In addition, CBS now plans to end the "Rock Star" run two weeks earlier than planned, with the skeinskein's finale now set for Tuesday, Sept. 20. No money traded hands in the deal. CBS will get promotional spots hyping the Eye run of "Rock Star," while VH1 will get free original programming. Burnett told Daily Variety he understands the Eye's decision and actually hopes it will end up boosting overall ratings for the show. "The reason we've been moved off of Monday is that clearly we weren't helping (CBS's) Monday night lineup. It was the only dip in the six half-hours of the night," he said. "It didn't make business sense for CBS, but in discussions with them, we thought that maybe narrowing it to two nights a week would encourage audiences to stay with it." Indeed, with the fall season just around the corner, CBS needs to have the strongest possible programming on Monday in order to hype two new laffers moving to the night next month. Eye will replace the Monday "Rock Star" with "2 1/2 Men" reruns. What's more, those who are watching "Rock Star" will still be able to see the behind-the-scenes edition of the skein, while a new music/reality-friendly audaud on VH1 will get exposure to the program. "I actually think this is a good move; it was maybe a bit too much to ask people to watch three times a week in the summer," Burnett said. As for ending the skein early, Burnett said move -- while clearly due to lower-than-expected overall ratings -- will give the new INXS two more weeks to meet a Thanksgiving deadline for the release of their new album. While not a ratings juggernaut for CBS, "Rock Star" fits right into the pop culture nostalgia niche in which VH1 traffics. Cabler has become a player in the acquisition of off-netoff-net reality and MTV Networks Music Group entertainment president Brian GradenBrian Graden has said the channel will continue to target broadcast skeins that might benefit the cabler's brand. VH1 is spending $75,000 an episode for exclusive off-net rights to Viacom sib UPNUPN's "America's Next Top Model," which is produced and distributed by King World (Daily Variety, June 4). Marathons of the competishcompetish skein have boosted net's total day average, which is up 12% for the month of July. Cabler also pre-bought repurposing rights to NBC's upcoming "Tommy Lee Goes to College," featuring the Motley Crue rocker, and has been running repeats of "Britney and Kevin: Chaotic." This isn't the first time VH1 has been able to capitalize on a broadcast show. "The Surreal Life" spent its first two seasons on the WBthe WB before relocating to the music channel, where it now anchors the Sunday night Celebreality block. Cabler recently sealed an overall development/production deal with exec producers Cris Abrego and Mark Cronin, ensuring at least three more editions of the skein. Fox also recently opted to shift summer reality skein "Princes of Malibu" to cable sib Fox Reality Channel.

But NBC, CBS or > ABC? Come on. I think you're overlooking the Mark Burnette factor here. I mean, obviously Rockstar isn't his best show, but I'm sure he had some influence in getting it placed on a major network, espically with CBS. Still, I wonder what effect, if any, this might have on the band. A few of my co-workers share the same opinion that many of here do in respect that this show is a rather tacky way for INXS to push themselves back in the limelight. I wonder if getting shifted down to cable might clue them in. (On a somewhat related note, I do subscribe to a digital music service, Rhapsody. INXS spiked up on their top 200 artists charts the first few weeks of the show. They dropped about 50 places into the 120s last week and are completely off the chart now. So it does seem that they did at least win a very short lived flash-in-the-pan dose of popularity.) It terms of the show itself, I would expect that this means we get another double elimination at some point which will repeat its effect on the group, although less so than last week. Personally, I only have basic cable, which means no VH1. I already feel like I have hard time "getting to know" the contestants with only a 30 minute blip, but now I've got nothing, but I won't be the only one. They have been pulling 4 million viewers on Monday and I doubt that half of them will follow the show to VH1. So there seems to be a bit of an oxymoron here. During the performance critiques, a lof of emphasis is put on the fact that the singers aren't auditioning for any rock band, they are audition for a specific rock band. Yet in contrast, if the people voting don't see what the candidates are like as people, not just vocalists, how are we supposed to make a judgement about such a fit? (For example, I think JD would be a great fit for the band speaking strictly from a musical perspective, but we've seen bits of his personality that suggest his has a hint of a shattered persona, borderline schizoid, and I don't think it would create a good team dynamic for the band. These kinds of insights will be lost now.) Still, I suppose that, with rare exceptions, nobody ever REALLY knows the personas of the people in the their favorite bands to begin. But whats done is done. Something else to consider is that I gather that the household's connection to the outside world is at least somewhat obfuscated. They may not know that they've been cut back two weeks, so if they're expecting a cut-free week to make up for the double, they won't get it. However, as the tension starts getting notched up higher, they are probably not going to notice the missing time.

Yeah, I get the Mark Burnett thing, although I wasn't aware of him as a power player or whatnot since I don't really follow the whole reality TV genre (except for Rockstar, of course). To be completely honest, I was stunned INXS even got a show in the U.S. on any channel, much less one of the Big 3 networks. I've pointed this out before, and all of us here are well aware, that INXS' popularity was sliding rapidly by 92 or 93, four years before Michael Hutchence died, so it's not even a matter of INXS disappearing only AFTER he died. On the one hand it's great to see the guys on TV; on the other hand, if I had put down money on the success of this show I'd have bet it wouldn't do so hot, precisely because people either don't remember them or think it's pointless without Michael. As much as I'd love them to have a big record and tour, I hate to say it but I don't think the album will do well at all, and if they try to play arenas there are going to be a lot of empty seats. I don't say that to be negative, but simply to state my concerns. (Maybe if they pick Ty or Mig and have Jordis open up for them...)

I do like his deep voice and his stylings, although his limited range prevents him from hitting the higher notes. although we have yet to see mig really shine, I'm betting that he'll pull ahead as frontrunner very soon. he hasn't made any mistakes, and he's proven to be a constant crowd pleaser. he's got a really smooth and styled voice, although, in contrast to JD, possibly a bit too high. however, he seems like a really nice guy, and he's australian, so he's got that going for him. jordis has certainly shot herself up in the ranks with this weeks' performance or man who sold the world. although I'm not too crazy about her, I definitely feel it was the best performance of the entire series so far. suzie is still my favorite of the females, but I don't think she is a true contender. brandon needs to go soon. he has been butchering the songs lately. but if the black crowes ever need a replacement, well then, they've got their man. same with the pointer sisters. if they ever need a replacement, ty is their gal. marty has the stange presense, but I couldn't pick his voice out of a lineup. I don't think he fits right for the band. jessica's fate will be the same as suzie's, I'm afraid. as long as she keeps wearing those outfits, though, they can keep her on as long as they want. deanna...I hardly even notice her. she's the next to go, if it's not brandon. some days I am everything I hate but it's nothing if the truth won't survive From: inxslist@yahoogroups.com [mailto:inxslist@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Brian R Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 8:24 PM To: inxslist@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [inxslist] ROCK STAR >From the really brief glimpse they showed of Mig practicing his vocals on Never Tear Us Apart I was impressed. I do think he would fit in with the band well, given he's Australian (or British, or Filipino, etc, lol). I'm still amazed he's the only finalist not from North America. Ty really blasted Kick out of the ballpark, but like Mig his voice is just a bit too high for my tastes. I do think he would fit with the band even better than Mig, though; in fact I think he'd fit in the best of all of the finalists. Brandon really showed a huge potential this week, and I liked his sportsmanship on the elimination episode and all around good character. Marty has the brooding good looks of a rocker, but his voice is too weak, especially when the vocals need to be loud and in your face. JD doesn't have the range, plus he's underhanded and untrustworthy. I do have to admit he really nailed "The Letter" however, in a performance and song that suited his range. Jordis, Jordis, Jordis. I think she's the runaway talent in this whole thing; except for dropping half a line or whatever it was she hasn't made one mistake yet. I still don't see her being satisfied with being part of a band as opposed to striking it out on her own as a solo artist. I wouldn't be surprised to see the band go with Ty or Mig at the end and offer her a solo contract instead as one of the big "surprises" at the end. Suzie is a sweetie and she has really come a long way, but I don't think she's a contender. The band really seems to like Deanna, so I'm not sure she'll go right away, but I don't think she's a contender, either. Jessica needs to stop relying on skimpy outfits, because it keeps people from taking her seriously, and she does have a great voice, which is ironic. Not a contender, in the end. Hard to say who will go next, but I think it will be one of the women not named Jordis. (On a side note, you ever wonder if the powers-that-be at CBS didn't have their interns up all night logging in extra votes so that Tara would finally get the boot, yet we would still get to see a great performance from Ty? As in FINALLY a great performance of an INXS song!) My predictions for the finale: It will be three, not two finalists remaining the last week: Jordis, Ty and Mig. I think that will make for more drama. I'm making the call right now that they bypass Jordis in favor of offering her a solo contract. Timmy's words, "It's not that you aren't right for INXS; INXS isn't right for you. You're a solo artist, and right here we have a record executive waiting to sign you to your own deal!" And the crowd goes wild in surprise and elation for Jordis. Of the remaining two finalists, the band agonize but go with Ty because he's shown more effort in wanting to be in INXS per se. I think the fact Mig is Australian will actually backfire on him, since that may be too close to Michael. From: inxslist@yahoogroups.com [mailto:inxslist@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of David C.

I've been watching this train wreck called ROCKSTAR religiously and was voting for Brandon as I thought he had the whole package in a very manly way. After his massive fuck up the other night, I'm routing for MiG. MiG is androgynous (like MH), has a massive range, and is damn good at what he does. I hate JD and am shocked he is still on this damn show. Is he still around cause of the controversy factor? Hadn't heard about that MP3 of MYSTIFY and just took a listen: I am sick! I really can't see this guy taking direction from anyone and would love to see Tim unload on him. Someone please tell Ty, I mean Corey Glover, that they are still holding auditions for RENT. Yeah he is talented, just not for a rock band. By the way...anyone notice how Tim is playing "the bad guy" role??? "I'm sorry, _______. You're just not right for our band, INXS." Uh, what's the name of your band? Thank you for reminding us as the majority of the few watching weren't alive when KICK was released! Think of this: if this were corporate America, and Dave Navarro spoke to anyone the way he speaks to women on the show, there would be massive lawsuits. He is so feminine, is this him trying to prove his heterosexuality??? Just my thoughts...nothing more. Nice to share them with people who know to what I'm referring as no one is watching this show...

It was off putting to say the least, but most of the INXS songs are suffering in the conditions....(the performers are nervous and tense and facing possible elimination). Tight vocal cords are not ideal for songs that are free and easy. Nothing even matches Jon Stevens let alone Hutchence thus far with the possible exception of Never Tear Us Apart in the first week by .... Suzie I think (I'm not saying that they have to sound like Hutch or Stevens). I think I would have Marty do something off of Welcome or FMDH....(albums made during the grunge period, which borrow from that period but are never associated with the genre)..... ie Heaven Sent, Taste It, The Gift, Time or Beautiful Girl (a real test for the screamer LOL).

Doesn't have very complimentary things to say about "RockStar: INXS." As a friend of Michael's he's somewhat put out by the show and feels it's a disservice to Michael's memory. He went so far as to say INXS was never a democracy, that the only person anyone cared about was Michael (which I wouldn't completely agree with). He said Michael is irreplaceable, which I would tend to agree with -- but --I'd like to ask him what the guys are supposed to do, it wasn't their choice for Michael to pass on. They are musicians, they do have to eat, pay their expenses, etc. Egan also referred to the other guys as 'provincial' in that they never wanted to leave Australia and that Michael was the most forward thinking of the group which sounds about right. Interesting to get the perspective of one of their old mates. Basically the consensus of Steve Jones and Nick Egan is the show is just plain bad.

Deanna - For the first time ever, you actually impressed me. But still, I think its your week. JD - His performances are just as polar as his personality. Moments of brilliance vs. moments of black-hole-like-suckage. Tonight was the latter. Jessica - Not bad, but.... meh. Jordis - I'm starting to feel the attraction for her, but the more I do so, the more I realize that she isn't right for INXS. Everything has to be slowed down to accomodate her vocals and, first and foremost, INXS has mostly been a band about energy. I might be willing to put my money down for a solo album, but you ain't makin it our band. Marty - I won't critique the arragement simply because having to deal with covering that **** gives him an automatic get out of jail free pass. However, vocally, his performance simply backed up the fact that he sounds just like every other lead singer in post-grunge guitar band on the radio right now. I yawn in your general direction. Mig - I think I am in an incredibly small minority here in not liking his performance. I thought his vocals were all over the place and it simply advertised the possibility that maybe he can't hold a note for more than half a second. It didn't suit the song, I don't care how emotional it was. Props for playing your own keys though - and very very well at that. Suzie - Since the first episode I've an idea in my head of when people were going to get cut and so I haven't been too far off with two exceptions: Heather and Suzie. She keeps getting better and better and I think she really is the wild card in this competition in terms of staying power. I won't say it was a great performance, but it was impressive. I'm not rooting for her, but if she keeps raising the bar on herself I would not be surprised if she wins. Ty, Ty, Ty. You disappointed me man. Between the striped pants and playing the tambourine I had really bad Davy Jones flashbacks. Now, I am a big Monkees fan, but I have to skip most of the tracks where Jones does lead vocal. Even scarier is that the comparison may not be inappropriate - Davy Jones was trained in the theater before he joined the band. I actually liked what Ty did with the song, but not the best performance of the night, or for him. Final note - JD, in the past, has been getting kudos for his arragements of other material. I'd like see our band spread that love around after tonight. Nearly everyone reworked their tune in a positive way, but I didn't hear any praise for it.

The trick for her is to avoid the bottom 3 again as the band would develop the opinion that she ain't real popular. As I said Jessica will be nominated a fourth time and this time INXS will give her a tune that will spell the end.....perhaps one of MH's masculine trademarks where basically nobody can do it with any justice. I agree with your other comments pretty much, but it really begs the question....most of these singers are lacking something (as much as they have something)...a change in direction for INXS is almost inevitable....that AF rif the other day was typical INXS sounded like something that could have fit on EW nicely. JD did it some justice but he simply isn't right for INXS, he doesn't even match Jon Stevens vocally. The idea of anything resembling the magic of Hutchence is now long doomed, not nec a bad thing but it could spell disaster for the back catalogue at a concert. Deanna will go shortly as well, based on the fact that most fans of INXS are female, I can't see them in the front row staring at her for to long listening to Hutch tunes delivered with breathy feminine vocals LOL. Jordis is more akin to the female spirit (non threatening) this will see her survive for awhile.

Jordis: I love INXS... love them alot but I really think this girl is umm... how do I put it? Too good for them? I don't want that to sound wrong or anything but she's very young and I think she has a very long career ahead of her. Deanna: Well, I think she is a wonderful down to earth performer and I think she has a lot of talent, just can't see her fronting INXS. Suzie: She's quirky, she's funny, she's a little off the wall but man, can that girl belt out a tune. She's a contender, I think. Jessica: Poor Jess, she can sing. I don't understand why she's hated so much that she keeps ending up in the bottom 3. I don't think she's right for INXS although the girl can belt out INXS tunes, I'll give her that, but I think she'd go farther in pop, not rock. Ty: He's talented yes, but I think his personality and flair for the dramatic would suit him better back on the stage. He has a powerful voice and yes, he can sing his heart out but fronting INXS? I have a feeling that the first time Andrew didn't agree with him on a collaboration.... well I think he'd cry and that's just not right... Mig: Yes!!! Not only is an Australian but I don't think he can do any wrong. His voice may not be perfect but he's got the personality, the sense of humour and the talent to make this a go. He stole Frampton's song and you know... I think if I heard the original again it would somehow seem lacking. My clear favourite!!! I think this night was the best show so far, not only for performances, well except JD's... which sucked... but also for humour from the whole thing. I'm even growing to like Dave Navarro's personality a bit... not too much LOL although the way Brooke Burke says "Rock super group: ENXS" is always going to get on my nerves just a bit! Oh, and on a side note, over here in Oz, Molly Meldrum comes on before the show to tell us how to vote because the voting is done differently over here. Now the funny thing he says is... "...just ignore Brooke Burke, and I mean ignore her." For those who don't know Molly, look him up on the Internet and you'll get the joke.

LOL My two cents... Heidi D. ----- Original Message ----- From: David C. Jones To: inxslist@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 2:59 AM Subject: [inxslist] Tuesday roundup I've started participating in the TV Without Pity forum, but for those of you who aren't over there, I'll share my thoughts. Deanna - For the first time ever, you actually impressed me. But still, I think its your week. JD - His performances are just as polar as his personality. Moments of brilliance vs. moments of black-hole-like-suckage. Tonight was the latter. Jessica - Not bad, but.... meh. Jordis - I'm starting to feel the attraction for her, but the more I do so, the more I realize that she isn't right for INXS. Everything has to be slowed down to accomodate her vocals and, first and foremost, INXS has mostly been a band about energy. I might be willing to put my money down for a solo album, but you ain't makin it our band. Marty - I won't critique the arragement simply because having to deal with covering that **** gives him an automatic get out of jail free pass. However, vocally, his performance simply backed up the fact that he sounds just like every other lead singer in post-grunge guitar band on the radio right now. I yawn in your general direction. Mig - I think I am in an incredibly small minority here in not liking his performance. I thought his vocals were all over the place and it simply advertised the possibility that maybe he can't hold a note for more than half a second. It didn't suit the song, I don't care how emotional it was. Props for playing your own keys though - and very very well at that. Suzie - Since the first episode I've an idea in my head of when people were going to get cut and so I haven't been too far off with two exceptions: Heather and Suzie. She keeps getting better and better and I think she really is the wild card in this competition in terms of staying power. I won't say it was a great performance, but it was impressive. I'm not rooting for her, but if she keeps raising the bar on herself I would not be surprised if she wins. Ty, Ty, Ty. You disappointed me man. Between the striped pants and playing the tambourine I had really bad Davy Jones flashbacks. Now, I am a big Monkees fan, but I have to skip most of the tracks where Jones does lead vocal. Even scarier is that the comparison may not be inappropriate - Davy Jones was trained in the theater before he joined the band. I actually liked what Ty did with the song, but not the best performance of the night, or for him. Final note - JD, in the past, has been getting kudos for his arragements of other material. I'd like see our band spread that love around after tonight. Nearly everyone reworked their tune in a positive way, but I didn't hear any praise for it.

Anyway i was one of those die hard INXS fans that didn't really liked the whole idea of the reality show and most of all the sellection of non professional singers. I must say the show is not so bad as i expected and i think it's pretty decent, apart from some tv moves there like "...our band INXS" or the "Rock super group". Anyway i still don't understand why a rock super group (INXS) would want to pick a non professional singer, there is something not right there. And i believe that someone said that it lacked something to all the contestants (very true...) and none of them could even compare to Jon Stevens (obviously, as JS was a pro singer for 20 years, and a great one). But it's interesting to see that even though rockstar has many fans "against it" i think the winner will not have so many negative feedback by the fans as JS did. I can only watch the show sometime later, a friend of mine in the UK sends me the tapes every week, so i get to see it first only on the MSN recaps. After watching all of last night's performances ( i can't watch the comments from the band or dave) i keep getting clear ideas about them all. For now i would select 4 possible singers for INXS: Marty - seems to me the most complete of them all, he's got a great voice, lots of charisma and energy on stage. I liked his cover of "hit me baby..." and i don't get all the negativity on the song, so Britney sucks but Travis for example already proved it's actually a good song. Mig - This guy is a close second, has a good voice too and seems to feel very confortable on stage ( probably due to his theatre performance background). He's australian and i guess we all feel that is an advantage. Besides that he's got that kind of androginy style, wich sometimes resembles of Michael. Yesterday was his best performance ever and the best of the night, simply awesome. JD - surprise surprise i seem to be one of the few who likes this guy, i like his abillity to re-arrange the songs, and in my opinion he always did it well (including last night). Besides that i really do believe that he's the only one who is a fan of INXS, the other's are there for the opportunitty( Ty don't even know INXS's albums...shame on him...) and that should be a very important thing, some of them aren't old enough to know who INXS are ( Jordis????) Suzie - It's probably the only female i would see as INXS's singer, she is just great, good voice, good stage presence, never had a bad performance so far and very good looking (lol) even though i still feel that INXS should select a male singer. As for all the others, i don't think they are right for our band, INXS. I hope Ty goes home really soon, i don't understand his attitude, always so full of himself, he does not respect INXS's opinions and actually wants to prove them wrong, not wise for someone who is probably 20 years younger...or then it's actually that. Even though he's talented i would say he was the next. Jordis is also great but doesn't have the age, voice or stage presence for INXS. Deanna looked like Celine Dion last night...not good at all and Jessica did a good job, but i really don't think she has what it takes to be the next singer. Just my two cents.

Too good for them? I keep hearing people give this "too good for INXS" line, but I'm not sure I buy it. Its like of like saying cheesecake is better than filet mignon. You can weigh the merits of each, but I don't think its really appropriate to say that one is better than the other. I think the issue with Jordis is that it seems like her musical career will be more similar to Kate Bush or Carly Simon (which, again, is not meant to be a comparison, only an indication of the direction I think her voice and style would take her.) I'm not really sure that combining that style with INXS would pan out in the long run, although the more I think about it, it would probably be interesting for at least one album, maybe two. I would be more concerned about her using a Rockstar win as springboard than a career move. But then again, if they guys only want to do one or two albums before they rest on their laurels again for seven years, maybe she would be perfect. Maybe I should just shut up about it until I actually hear her cover an INXS song. My original point still stands though - I don't think she is "too good." I think its just a stylistic issue.

If you're gonna front the band, you're going to have to know the ENTIRE back catalogue, no? I thought giving Don't Lose Your Head to Brandon was brilliant. That song is tough, given it's chock full o' lyrics qualities, and whoever gets chosen needs to be able to pull that off. I think we've whittled down the field enough that we should start getting INXS songs for the Tuesday shows, and not simply during the sing off on elimination night. There are people advancing who've yet to sing a song by Our Band, INXS. This can't be good. (Though I will admit, it's been amusing to see how they all handle the things they've been given.) I am not sure what the final plans are for choosing a singer, but as it stands now, it looks like they could easily end up with a winner who has NEVER sung one of their songs! My, what a way to lend credibility to a choice... I'm still rooting for MiG!

It is basically MIchael singing to Bob about how much he hates him, and in my opinion, brilliantly done. In one of the biographies, it was reported that Andrew and Michael had not written together in a while, and when they first started doing EW, Andrew was blown away by these lyrics, and made the comment that Michael still had a lot to say. Come to think of it, I am surprised that they put this song in the lineup. I remember in 2000, I asked Andrew why they weren't playing anything from EW and he said something very non-committal and diplomatic that to me, amounted to, --we're not going there, it's too painful.

I can see how they'd not have rushed to play the songs right after Michael's death, but it has been 7.5 yrs now, and, imho, it's not realistic to think they'll never play them again. After all, Michael wrote nearly all the INXS lyrics before, and they still play those. Time heals all wounds, as they say, and I think playing the EW songs is only logical.

I'm half and half on the issue. Songs like DLYH or EW are fine because even though we know what they are about, they can still be interpreted to a non-specific individual. On the other hand, Just A Man makes specific references to Michael's family members that would be awkward and inappropriate for anyone else to be singing. Searching is kind of iffy, as is Everything although less so.

There are just some song associations that are more than obvious. The fact that he stuffed up on DLYH probably indicates that he did not rehearse the list of INXS songs that he was specifically given by the band.....in other words he did not feel that he would be in the bottom three as early as he might have anticipated. Jessica had the "benefit" of already being the bottom 3....she got eliminated eventually even though she was perhaps performing INXS songs as good as anyone has or will in this competition (she had perhaps rehearsed them more than most as well). Most would put more effort into there performances of non INXS songs as to avoid being the bottom three as that makes sense. Jessica being as plain Jane as she was perhaps was working overly hard for results and was the least natural of the performers. Rock is not so much about hard work as it is about effortless and effective communication between an individual and anyone with in visual/ear shot of the sound mass projected.

DLYH could easily be seen as something Michael wrote to himself...the lyrics are overly specific and written about somebody Michael knew quite well (so well as to be in the same head). While the association with Bob Geldof is plausible, Liam Gallagher is the version I have heard on more than one occasion. Rockstar -as delivered- is a sham when compared with the idea we aren't going to play songs of EW because they are personal to Michael.........instead we are going to watch the vast marjority of 15 North Americans chosen "diversely" LOL as possible with talent as the secondary criteria and one solitary Aussie butcher the lyrics, let alone vocals (relative) to his songs in front of millions of people most of whom probably couldn't give a rats about INXS or the late Hutchence. Not only that we are going to play some sarsparilla candy karaoke cover of New Sensation as lead ins from the commercials........the songs of EW while commercially not as prominent as Kick et al. are as good as any in the INXS catalogue and deserve to be recognised as such, not "buried deep inside" as Michael wrote lyrics with the obvious intention of millions hearing them. If somebody else must sing them so be it, let them do so and let them do it proudly as best they can, Hutchence deserves no less. The performance Hutchence gave of Searching at the 96 Arias indicated a man not afraid to bare his soul to anyone even when the fight in him to save his own was probably already gone.

Maybe it was because the TV I was watching it on did not have cable and the antenna wasn't bringing in a good reception, but I wasn't particularly impressed with anybody's performance tonight. Maybe when I get the chance to watch the videos on MSN I'll get a better idea. I had no idea Jordis could hit such a low. If she had put in that performance in Week 1, that would have been the last we'd have seen of her. I'm not even talking about missing that high note, but even the lower-key verses she didn't carry well. That might have been even worse than JD's version of We Are the Champions. Could she have possibly peaked with the Bowie song three weeks ago??? At least we'll most likely FINALLY get to hear her sing an INXS song! LOL! Both original songs by Deanna and Mig were mediocre and didn't move me. Marty did a decent job with his song but he might have peaked with Mister Brightside two weeks ago. I'm not sure Suzie fit well with Start Me Up--her voice sounded too karaoke--but I think she probably had the best performance, though tonight that's not say a whole lot. I can't believe the band praised JD as much as they did! He has the least range of anybody! It's like he can only hold one note. He was an Elvis impersonator??? LOL! How fitting! The girls backing Ty was a nice touch. He let a little bit too much of his theater schtick slip through, though, but he didn't suck. All in all, not the best night for the group.

The band may have put the song on the board, but they didn't force Marty to take it. Even when they handed him a non-screamer, he turned it into one. Much like Mig was asked to fight for his songs, its incumbent upon Marty to diversify his song choices. Kirk has this slightly non-overt way of telling people that their time is up. Neal got asked about his melodies. Tara got asked the covers question (as if there was a right answer to that). I think he's pretty much given Marty the kiss of death at this point. I don't think he'll end up in the bottom three, but unless he does something to really mix it up the next couple of weeks I think he'll be gone the first chance the band gets at him.

I could be wrong, but I think her knowing form last week that she is in the top 3 gave her the confidence to take a risk for once. I've got to give her credit for taking a risk and trying. Unfortunately, as you pointed out, she even blew the low-key bits that we've seen her nail in the past. The good part is that if she stays in the bottom three as they showed at the end of the show we'll finally get to see what she does with an INXS tune - it will be interesting to see which song they choose for her.

She said that the rockers were much more real than the pop idols in shows like this. She's a reality tv freak and said the contestants here, other than JD (who is probably honest as well, just that he's a immature, whining, and irritating person in real life as well), just seem to be more real. I think it's because rock is a much more honest genre than pop in every way. For the most part it's real vocals, songwriting skills and life on the road. Pop is well, not honest (how many buy their songs), no songwriting skills needed, no real vocal talent needed anymore and life on the road appears a bit easier for them. An unnattractive rockstar can still be successful. You can't really say that about the majority of pop stars. And I would love to see JD go!!! But I can't see the rest of them crying quite as hard over that exit... I know I'd be celebrating that one!!! I just don't get it...

(Though am curious about his capital G, as per the show's web site...) I really think he's got a great voice, def. knows how to "work it," so to speak, LOL, and would do a fabbo job as the new frontman. That he's Australian doesn't hurt him either... He's also a solid, consistent performer, has experience in the business, and can write - all things I think the band def. needs if they hope to move forward din any meaningful way. And, this is totally superficial, I admit - the band needs some eye candy. The Fuzzy Farrisses aren't going to win them any teen girl fans, and Kirk and Garry have niche appeal, as always. Every band needs a tall drink of water, no? ;-) My other favorites are Marty and Ty. (Yes, Ty. I know he's a theatre guy, but he just amuses me.) Do I truly think i he's right for Our Band, INXS, though? No, not so much. But he'd be a fun person for them to collaborate with from time to time.

Hey all, Aivi has a theory, and while conspiracy theories generally turn out wrong, this one is tight! First, notice that on last night's show, JD did not appear in the first ten minutes. When they showed him, it was: here's a half-empty glass of beer and here's JD passed out while everyone else works hard on the latest clinic. Then he was shown blowing the INXS song and Jordis laughed and said, "he should've learned the song." That was hilarious. But Dave Navarro was sitting right there when Jordis said it and usually he delivers news or does a clinic and he's gone, so it seemed kind of significant that he was hanging with the singers when JD was messing up. Then, the new songs are put out and JD sees the Elvis song, Suspicious Minds and goes for it like a fish for a hook. Someone on this listserv said JD was once an Elvis impersonator. So Aivi's theory goes: INXS go to the producers of the show and say, "we've got to get JD out of here this week. Make him go away." So JD has got to score badly with the voters. And the producers use the video that makes him look like crap, and then hand out an Elvis song, that if he takes, is sure to get some wierd comments, him being an Elvis impersonator, and being a little too good with the Elvis sneer and the "Elvis claw." JD, bottom three, INXS says goodbye. (Kudos to whoever on this list came up with Elvis claw, because we've been laughing about it ever since.) SO!!

When I was trying to compare it to something in the back catalogue (the new song/demo whatever) the nearest I could find was actually "Searching", I noted to my wife in no way is that gonna be a single off the next album (well unless they are completely changing direction). If I compared it to something that isn't INXS I can only think of some of the soft stuff U2 has been churning out lately with the difference being that the trademark INXS slap type chirpy funk is still in evidence. Having said that, the final product may differ vastly from the mere snippets we have seen here. Conspiracy? JD got his Elvis song and went for it right away....if they really wanted to get rid of him, they'd probably give everyone a Queen song or something LOL. I was talking conspiracy on the one of the boards actually LOL. The amount of Queen songs given Mig's background, and if you read bios....Suzie's fave band is.....

Why couldn't they have just sent both TY and JD home? They've done it before. Yes, Jordis was underwhelming, but I honestly think it was because she was upset about being in the bottom 3. TY and JD just plain sounded horrible. I don't understand why JD keeps getting chance after chance after chance. Sigh. I did notice though that tonight, he couldn't control the audience like he usually does. However, I was a little upset about what TY said. I don't think it had anything to do with him being black and everything to do with his theater poses on stage. He's wonderfully talented, he's just not a rock star. I would go see him in a musical in a heartbeat. I bet he's absolutely amazing. But I wouldn't want to see him posing around a stage during a concert. Mig has that theater background too and that was part of the reason I didn't like him at first. But you know, he's really trying to leave it behind. It still pops up, but I think he has a good chance of crossing over. I was really happy about Marty, I thought his performance last night was moving and I really liked his rendition of Don't Change. He's grown on me. I don't know if you guys read the blogs on MSN, but he's the most personable online. He could really benefit if they'd have a "how to slink across the stage" clinic. He's very stiff and intense and I think he shuts the audience out a bit. Ok, I'm done I think.

I think Jordis was still thrown off by Andrew's comments last night about her not messing with the melody during their studio session; she was definitely tentative on Listen Like Thieves, although I think she gave the best performance of the bottom 3. There were a couple of points where she really let her voice hit that crescendo during the chorus that I think served the song well and I think she should have done that more. Ty and JD both bombed on their songs. That was definitely Ty's poorest performance, largely because I think he sang it in the wrong key. I think his voice was always a little bit too high for most of the INXS back catalogue, and it showed there. JD's problem is that he only has ONE key that he sings in, and he never strays from it. I do think he should have been tossed out instead. I'm glad they got back to exploring more of the INXS back catalogue instead of repeating already covered ones. Regarding Ty's assertion that his skin color was a factor...not being black I can't relate, but I will say I think it had more to do with other performers simply being more appealing. In fact, when I first saw the initial press releases on the finalists I immediately pegged Ty as being a frontrunner because--and how's this for some reverse-type stereotyping--I presumed he'd bring, as he said, soul to the group, which would be important.

I counted 4 instances of lyric flubbing during The One Thing, and I really think that sealed his fate. As for the race issue - that just pisses me off. I don't think that had anything to do with it. Jordis is still around, no? When I see someone play the race card after some defeat it just smacks of desperation and frustration on their part. Either that, or just passing the blame onto something outside themselves. On a happier note, I was THRILLED to see some older stuff trotted out (finally!) Keep the oldies coming!
