Rockstar INXS

Ty's a dick...

I think it's going to be Marty or Mig (no relation to me) to win it.

Ty shouldn't have played the "race-card". He was just not as good as the others. Mig and Suzie are the best singers/performers. I agree - Mig or Marty will win. A guy singer probably fits better for this band...

Linda: you are correct, I dont' believe that INXS are racist but he could have been referring to those that voted him into the bottom 3 which is a VERY strong possibility.

As for a woman fronting the band, INXS has said over and over again that they are totally open to the possibility and with suzie's gain in singing ability and popularity, she has a really good chance of going all the way.

BTW, for your comment about suzie to be considered sexist you would have had to say it something like: "a woman can't do the lead singer role as they are not as good as men". What you said isn't sexist in the same manner as saying that james bond has to be played by a man.....(mind you, I wouldn't mind seeing James Bond being played by a woman, can you imagine all the lesbian scenes with all the hot women? lol)

Man Marty blew chunks yet again "Trees"? what a bad song, not sure how he outlasted Ty...

Jordis was very weak to inmho...and would not be surprised to see her go, but I hope Marty gets the boot

 

[whobee]

Haven't liked Marty's voice since the beginning but I thought "Trees" wasn't that bad.

Suzie's song was pretty good too.

Jordis didn't perform well but INXS should stick to comments on the music quality - saying she's doing well for someone so young wasn't my idea of a critique.

Except for Marty being at the top the initial voting looked right to me.

Was Brooke wearing her negligee because it was going to be an early night or did she just not change from that morning? Bunny slippers would have completed her ensemble better than heels.

i think marty has that "rockstar" thing going on...

i agree the list of votes seems right on, jordis should be gone.

i wasn't a huge jd fan but he rocked last night. i think if he could get his vocal chops a little finer tuned he is the right fit for inxs. his only undoing could be the way he performed in the studio on that new inxs track.

i saw inxs years ago at the old copa in yorkville with michael hutchense. it was the tour for the "what you need" album, i think...

Jordis is Gone

Thought that JD had the best two-song performance of the 5.

What's up with Jordis? Does she really want to be there? I think she may becoming burned out. Not good if you want to tour with INXS.

My ranking of last nights performances:

1. JD
2. Marty - Trees was the best of the 5 original songs. Tho' Everlong was not menat for that stripped down performance. Dave Groul rocks.
3. Suzie
4. MIG - Was he auditioning for American Idol? Those songs were not made for a rock band.
5. Jordis

Likelihood to front INXS:

1. JD
2. Suzie
3. Marty
4. MIG
5. Jordis

Does anyone else fond it pdd that the only mention of Hutchence was last night's vague refeerence on Mig's song about missing a friend?

To me, he was the face and lead of the Band and to not mention that the winner of this competition will be replacing a legend? Don't want to add to the pressure?

 

[Marbles]

Predictions for tonight:

Encore:

Marty - Trees

Bottom Three:

Jordis
Suzie
Mig

Going Home:

Jordis

 

[Alexis69]

yeah its amazing how well Jordis's voice was at the beginning of the competition .......and she slowly started to weep , lack confidence and struggle .......boohoo i will miss her uniqueness

I cant believe how much Marty has turned around ......in my eyes hes done a 360 his hard work portfolio is finally starting to pay off

Jd is so dam sexy yum ......but he needs to get rid of that elvis thang his inxs style is the strongest ( i think )

Suzie voice is the bomb but id like to see her master more of Inxs style to see the fit

Mig has the weaker voice imho

oooh this show is getting tense now i think the kleenex box will be coming out when they all start balling again lol

 

[tboy]

Well, Jordis hit the wall a week or so ago and just never came back.

After Mig not making it into the bottom three tonight, and he SO deserved to (his songs sucked the other night) I am starting to believe that rumor that he's a plant.

I can't believe how far along suzie's come. I now retract my opinion that she couldn't front the band. She has grown along with JD and embraced the competition instead of pulling a jordis and mig and fading.

I think JD's elvis like voice lends a nice tone to the INXS song.

Marty? Fronting INXS? ummm not on your life IMHO. Just not right....

MIG? as for MIG, if he can't make it into the bottom three with his performance the other night, the only way he will make it there is when there are only three left. Then he won't be asked to leave. That's how I see it coming....

I think it will work out like this:

JD will be next to go
Then suzie
Then Marty
Then MIG will get the gig....

 

[whobee]

When only three are left I think fan voting will stop and INXS will take a real look at who's left and make their own decisions. At that point (if Mig isn't pre-determined) they will have to decide how they want INXS to be percieved.

 

[simontemplar]

Mig wins!

Final two, Suzie and Mig, with the guy winning.

what ?! besides the rumour that hes planted ...........where did you hear this ? any links ?

 

[tboy]

I haven't seen any other info which would indicate that Mig is a plant (other than a HOUSE plant lol) but I was on MSN chat the other night when INXS was going to be on and I wasn't the only one that had heard/read this.

Couple of clues that this could be true:
1) they've NEVER said anything bad about him except for the other night when they said his song wasn't really right for the venue
2) when he MISSED notes, MISSED cues and totally sucked in his performance(s) they PRAISED him.
3) He's done some pretty crappy performances over the weeks and yet he's never been in the bottom three....wtf is up with that?

I am not a record producer or a sound engineer but I do have some experience mixing etc for bands and the other night, when he was on, I thought I was watching American Idol when he cough cough "sang" his original song.....it was bad, really really bad. Like I said, if he didn't make it into the bottom three after tuesday's performance, he won't ever.

BTW, did anyone else find it VERY odd that JD got the encore, AND made it into the bottom three?

I think the real problem here is that you are able to vote more than once for any artist. I can see some flippin' 12 yr old teenybopper sitting at her computer for hours voting for Mig cuz "he's so dreamy"...sorry, talent is more important than looks in this case.

I did. B4ooke came on and said that Marty & JD were neck and neck for th3 encore which led me to believe that the other three were at the bottom. I didn't get a chance to vote but were there different choices. If not, then it all seems a little contrived to me.

Little teenybobbers OR all those Aussies who have only one to vote for while us Canucks have to split our vote.

 

[tboy]

yeah, I hear you dude about marty. SOmething about how big his freakin mouth is when he screams out one of his songs....F me, and I thought JAWS had a big mouth.....

 

[tboy]

I agree Jimmy, while Mig is a great singer and performer, as in his interview, he would do well in a stage show like Rent or We will rock you....NOT a rockstar imho.

Of course he won't be in the bottom three tonight....if he wasn't last week he won't ever be.

JD rocked the house....he can really work the crowd, I think after last night's performance he should be one of the final two, with suzie of course. Though Suzie is going to have to be more aggressive and self-confidant if she wants to pull this off.

Marty, great musician but not right for INXS. Even with the acoustic version of trees (good song btw) he couldn't help screaming......

 

[Kwazy]

just noticed this thread...

haven't read the whole thread yet...but anyone else hear the rumours long ago that a woman wins??????

 

[Alexis69]

JD is finally humbling himself and he kicked ass inthat interview

Marty in my eyes blew it from his close minded views for the band

Suzie fell apart looking very unconfident

Mig is a good guy but needs more of an edge

Mig last night sounded ok but i give it only just that .


I have now decided Jd is the man
his song pretty vegas is Excellent and his pink flyod version of Money was done with ease its like Dave said "i cant stop watching him " he is a firecracker always lit up .Not to mention hes so fucking sexy !

Marty sang creep well (such an amazing song ) but his song trees in my opinion doesnt even come close to JDs so hes really gonna have to come up with something huge to top this (IMO be great for a heavy metal band )

Suzie sang my favorite song Whats going on ? by four non blondes very well >IMO Her voice is the best there but i still dont think she fits the band but that dosent mean she cant fit the bill for the next new solo artist

 

[Squirt]

jd's the best fit!!!
