"SCAM: INXS... MIG already chosen as lead singer !!!" |
I have been holding back for a while, but I can't take it anymore!!I was one of the final 50 selected to go to LA for the final round for the INXS:Rockstar show. I wrote a journal about my experience and described all 50 contestants I saw when I was there. From day one we were told 14 people make it to the show...14...14...14...14!!! I have contracts to prove this. Anyway, all of sudden the show airs and there are 15 contestants...go figure! I recognize all of them, except one...MIG! He WAS NOT at the audtions. I promise you!! So I came to realize, Mig is the mole..the plant if you will. INXS probably recorded the album with him already, though that I can't prove. Check this out: One of the songs we were given to learn was "We Are The Champions"...then it was pulled. They changed it. Could it be because MIG was the lead in the London production of 'Queen: We Will Rock You'? A Broadway type show. And isn't the TV show supposed to be about guys and gir! ls who are struggling to make a career out of singing?? MIG has a career...go figure!! The icing on the cake was tonight. Great reality setup. One guy slaughters a Queen tune last week..then Mig comes in to show he can save the day and really sing a Queen song...go figure!! He has been singing them for a living!!! Anyway, if you are a betting man...call Vegas and get the odds on Mig. You walk away a rich man/woman...trust me!! It's just disapponiting to know the band is using this program to just to market themselves and a singer they have already selected. The auditions were really to surround MIG. Pretty sad...

Well, I can see where you would reach the conclusion...and we, the viewers, would have no way of knowing whether there was a 'plant' or not. In fact, ANY reality show runs that risk.Let's face it, INXS had (has) fallen on hard times; they needed a 'lightning rod' to set them in front of the public again. This gimmick certainly gives them 'exposure'--and the 'eye candy' they have on the show gives viewers a reason to watch and hope their 'pick' is chosen. Personally, I'm rooting for Mig anyway, so it would be just fine with me! I'd be willing to guess, though, that several of the contestants will be offered contracts w/others or independently, and it wouldn't surprise me if INXS or Dave or Mark Burnett weren't the ones behind all of it!

I so hope that's not true, L_O! I had read about Mig singing Queen stuff and wondered how he felt seeing JD go down in flames a few weeks back. Thought that was ironic, but maybe it's more??!!Well, INXS is an established band that went from int'l stars to relative unknown. In any case, I know they're dying for a comeback and they're savvy enough to possibly not take a chance on someone unseasoned enough to naively think that this show will get them a jetsetting lifestyle. They need a singer more than the singer will need them. INXS wants back in the game. Bad. I kind of like Jordis and JD. Mig is OK. But if this show was rigged around him, I would have little interest in following INXS+Mig in the future. Think about the show's format (we pick the bottom 3, INXS eliminates 1 or 2). Basically it gives us the *illusion* of picking the singer on the way through. Note that INXS NEVER cedes control to the viewers under this system. I'm sure they and/or Burnett orchestrated this to give drama to the PR that passes for a show. The real victims are the singers who think they have a chance but really don't, the house band who is no worse than INXS at this point and us, the viewers (some ex-fans included) whose intelligence and taste is insulted if INXS has already gone and picked Mig.

This all sounds quite believable, but I have two questions:1. The Queen setup doesn't exactly work, because I believe Mig sang "Baby I Love Your Way," which is by Peter Frampton. 2. There were originally 8 women and 7 men. If there were originally 14 contestants, I find it hard to believe they were not divided 7 men/7 women. And Ty also already has some sort of career because he was a featured singer in a Vegas show (the exact name escapes me, but I saw a promo for it starring Ty).

It could very well be because MiG is from Australia. Maybe they just wanted to add an Australian singer. The other 14 contestants would alos cry foul if MiG was infact a ringer. I just don't see any facts. or really anything in your write-up take says it is rigged. Although I believe MiG will be the winner...it's looking more and more obvisious every week.

I think the poster was referring to JD doing We are the Champions & Mig doing We Will Rock You...that was a few weeks ago.

If there were that many people auditioning, I would think that more people would have noticed Mig's absence there, including the finalists on TV. If there were any credence to this I don't see how it would be out of the media for so long.

Also, they've never hidden the fact that Mig gave up a role in a popular stage show to come do this. It's been mentioned several times. I remember Mig saying he had the most to lose of anyone there, because he left that behind.I don't think they ever mentioned it was a Queen show, but so what? Maybe Mig purposely avoided doing We are the Champions that week, to avoid the "unfair advantage" label. Anyway, nothing compelling as far as the posters "evidence". Just sour grapes. Mig may win, but it will have nothing to do with what this guy is saying. Like others said, if it was true, it would have come out by now, by a more legit source. You couldn't keep that a secret for long.

We figured that out on the second show. It is so obvious.

I do believe Mig is going to win... but for a different reason and this may be a method to their madness.True... he is the only NON North American singer. Everyone else is from Canada or the USA. Voting is worldwide. Including... Europe, Asia, Australia. Mig... was born in the Philippines... Manila. He grew up in Australia and is/was currently working in Europe. We know that everyone votes for their regional favorites. So Mig will get the majority of the votes from Asia.... the Philippines connection, he will get most if not all of the votes from Australia... he grew up there and will/should get most of the European votes as he was working in the UK. The other contestants votes?... will be split amongst the North American voters in Canada and the USA and limited votes offshore. Mig will win in a *ahem* fixed landslide. Good thing I watch for the music and not the politics.

So I'm hung up on this whole Mig is a plant conspiracy, as I can't see Mig as the lead singer of INXS at all. Admittingly, I like J.D. and can only see J.D. as the lead singer. So, I can't get this Mig thing out because in theory there is some credence that INXS would not just completely pick some unknown based in part on audience voting. Nevertheless, one of the parts to the "conspiracy" is that Mig went out and killed a Queen song after another performer (J.D.) butchered a Queen song. Well, I just went back and watched Mig's performance of We Will Rock You at the www.rockstar.msn.com. I have to tell you, first of all, J.D.'s version of We are the Champions was bad. However, Mig's performance was bad as well, and considering that he was a stage performer singing Queen songs, I would say his performance was worse than J.D. Therefore, I am starting to feel better that the Mig is a plant rumor is false. If its not, I'm sure INXS is feeling pretty sick to their stomachs right now as "Pretty Vegas" would be a great first single.
