I used to love Jordis but it seems like she isn't trying all that much. I don't know if it is the stress or what it is. Look how she was at the songwriting clinic instead of wanting to make the song she was writing really good she just saw it as a project that needed to be done. Honestly, I think her performances since "The Man Who sold the World" have been downhimm with the exception of this weeks performance doing "Imagine" which I thought was done very beautifully it brought tears to my eyes.

<I used to love Jordis but it seems like she isn't trying all that muchI think she wants out of the spotlight. She should have gone the previous week, and her reprieve made her feel guilty. She can't figure out why she's still there. I think it's because INXS wants to keep two women in the performance mix. Don't worry - Jordis won't win. 
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

I think Jordis should have got the boot tonight. She's a good singer, but NOT suited for INXS. I knew she wouldn't get booted over Ty, though, and neither would JD, simply because they wouldn't boot a "newbie" to the bottom over somebody's third trip. Which is a stupid setup really --- I mean, how do they even know if the last people left will even be the best at singing their music just because they managed to avoid being in the bottom three? Although I don't think Ty was right for the band either, he's a better fit than Jordis, probably better than Susie, and after JD's horrible performance tonight, possibly better than JD.I think it comes down to Marty or MiG. Thank goodness, a nice guy will probably finish "first" at the end.

J.D. should have been the one to go for so many reasons but mainly because I thought his song was soooooooo underwhelming. For someone that says they live and breathe INXS songs his performance was bad!
I think they keep him because of the drama and attention he brings to the show but I sure hope he is gone next week!

I think it comes down to Marty or MiG. Thank goodness, a nice guy will probably finish "first" at the end. I agree! I love to listen to both MiG and Marty! In the end I think that MiG will be selected but I really like Marty and will definitely be seeking out his music if he is not picked to front INXS. Jordis has a beautiful voice but she is not right for INXS and her performance of their song sucked! I grow to dislike JD more and more every week! JD tries to hard to be a Michael clone. I wish they had sent all three of them home not just Ty. Ty playing the race card completely turned me off, he needs to learn to lose gracefully.

I thought Ty's voice was a lil off key but I could be wrong about that. I think that it was basically between Ty and Jordis on who was going because I know they were asked what they felt they could bring to the band but I don't remember them asking J.D that.

25. "RE: So-called nice guys" |
I think a nice guy doesn't step on others backs to get to the top. He does it on his own merits. And as much as I like JD's talent, I don't think he is a "nice guy" in that way. Everybody is going to slip up and make mistakes along the way, but it's how you deal with your mistakes that makes the man (or woman) out of you. I think JD *has* dissed his fellow contestants, both on stage and on closed camera interviews. He's subtle about it -- "killing them with kindness" -- and other such comments suggesting that he manipulated someone into thinking they were better suited for a certain song in order to get the particular song he wanted to sing, being rude in the team player aspect of the songwriting exercise, etc, etc, etc. Now, many of those may not be "public" comments in the sense that JD is speaking to a camera only when he says how he really feels, but since this is a reality show and it's obvious comments like that will be broadcast and undoubtably hurt people's feelings when they hear what JD has been saying about them "behind their backs," it's sort of the same thing.The bottom line is, this is a reality show and you want to get to the end and win. I understand that. However, after watching Survivor and other such reality TV where the main themes are backstabbing and conniving and manipulating (of which I thoroughly enjoy, I admit) --- on a personal level, I also feel it's been downright refreshing to watch a competition show in which the contestants genuinely seem to get along and enjoy each other's company and can root each other on while still competing for the top prize. I only see one contestant, someone that I really admire talent-wise, mucking up the "love fest" and that is consistently JD. If it's bad editing, that is really a shame and is definitely not fair. But I suspect that a good deal of the root of it is brought on by JD himself, and that's due to comments right out of the horse's mouth. I don't think he's a villian. Just a bit oversensitive, insensitive, and egotistical. Sometimes can make for a bad combo. And so, yes, I would rather see a winner who is a nice guy. I still think JD is a top contender for the job, and rightfully so, but it sure would be nice to see the prize go to someone with a bit more humility.

LAST EDITED ON 09-02-05 AT 10:40 AM (EST)"He's subtle about it -- "killing them with kindness" -- and other such comments suggesting that he manipulated someone into thinking they were better suited for a certain song in order to get the particular song he wanted to sing, being rude in the team player aspect of the songwriting exercise, etc, etc, etc. Now, many of those may not be "public" comments in the sense that JD is speaking to a camera only when he says how he really feels, but since this is a reality show and it's obvious comments like that will be broadcast and undoubtably hurt people's feelings when they hear what JD has been saying about them "behind their backs," it's sort of the same thing." See, the subtle thing - I think that leaves it all open to interpretation. I think JD really set this all off with his comment about knowing the songs better than everyone else. From that moment on, I think some people hated him and looked at every action through that lens "JD must be a jerk." You see his song writing clinic behaviour as rude but what about Marty & Jordis? Do you consider dismissing him "i don't like the way you co-write" "that's just so obvious" isn't rude? If you are going to call not getting along rude, then call it both ways. If JD had sent Marty off to write and then dissed it all, you'd be calling that manipulative, right? I interpreted his "killing them with kindess" comment as "Oh man I've gotten off on the wrong foot and I need to bend over backwards to make up for it." I believe it was Dave who said a couple weeks back that JD was the only one who understood what this competition was about. You notice he didn't slam JD for being manipulative and slimy. He said he as doing it right. And that's when a lot of the trash talking, ego pumping started to show up in the other contestants.

13. "RE: Who deserves to go?" |
Wow what an anti-climax. So there I was hoping to see JD knock it out of the park and show just how good he would be fronting INXS and he chokes. Disappointing performance. I'm not buying into all this JD bashing going on. It appears to be all part of the production & editing. Even the other singers left are jumping to his defence. A tough week for him…needs to be on top of his game next week. Ty was obviously the choice to go. I mean 3 weeks in a row bottom 3….if the public votes that way for the show….can't offer good hopes for future record sales. His on stage personality is just too simple. He always has that big smile but that look in his eyes is different and gives the impression that he is a fake to me. Jordis was awful I thought and showed again that she may have a decent voice for some songs but she is shallow, naïve and more limited in talent than I think we all initially thought. Asked what she could bring to the band….ummm…if she doesn't know after how many weeks of doing this then why are you there? She is the week link and will be the next to go. I'm surprised we didn't see 2 kicked off. Vast improvements needed for next week. We're starting to see the true picture and I go back to my original opinion….it's going to come down between Mig & JD at the end with Mig the professional, nice guy, Aussie getting the gig and the drama of seeing JD crumble on stage at the last hurdle.

I totally agree with you andrew on everything you said except one thing: I can't imagine Marty ever going home before J.D. Marty did a good job on that INXS song last week and people just love to watch him perform. The crowd went nuts over him last week. I've tried to keep an open mind about J.D. but now I just cringe when I watch him. How many weeks in a row now has he had bad performances? I can't remember when I last liked one of his. Same goes for Jordis who has choked while Suzy has improved.

17. "RE: Who deserves to go?" |
You may be right Tigger. I personally don't enjoy watching Marty which is why I don't place him so high. I was in my late teens and heading off to college when the grunge scene kicked in. I traded my hairspray and Bon Jovi image and turned grunge. It had an impact on my life for sure. I enjoyed the late 80's right at a time when I started partying and drinking (I'm English so was legal to drink at 18 so of course we all started at 15 and nobody cared, now I'm in the US for anyone getting confused) It was cool to drink Jack Daniels because that's what Guns n Roses did. It was cool to sing about sex, drugs and rock n roll. Then along comes Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell & Co. writing intense songs and bringing on the grunge. It was refreshing, it was raw, it was honest and it was something we all could suddenly relate to. It was intense. The vocals were brutal, raw and passionate. The personalities of these performers were intriguing. Marty…no. Not for me. Maybe it's because I'm older I don’t know. I like to think I'm still in touch with my music. I still play my guitar at every opportunity if only for my own enjoyment and to teach my kids. I still crave the live shows and the whole experience. I keep telling myself one day I need to grow up! I just can't get into him. After Tuesday's show I was quite complimentary to Marty's effort at Wish You Were Here. It's one of my fav albums ever and that song is just a classic among classics. But last night watching him do it again. I wasn't as impressed. I think the first time around I was surprised to hear him sing it that way and wasn't really watching and listening as intently as last night. The 'mad conductor' waving arms thing….ummm why? If he's not doing that he's standing like a statue all awkward screaming out lyrics. Has he once communicated with or acknowledged the crowd while he's performing? It's like he's just there in his own little world. But again that's just my opinion and I don't expect everyone to agree.

So there I was hoping to see JD knock it out of the park and show just how good he would be fronting INXS and he chokes. Disappointing performanceMe, too. I wouldn't go as far as saying he choked, but I was waiting for a grand slam. RockstarMSN had this to say: "J.D. is the first up tonight, and Kirk asks him to sing "This Time," ominously adding "make it good." It's not advice J.D. takes to heart. His version of the song, a beautifully crafted, moody ballad from "Listen Like Thieves," is lethargic and flat. Instead of a sincere apology after a fight, he sounds punched out." Gee, puched out? Ya think??? What on earth could possibly have made him feel that way? So, what was Jordis' & Ty's excuses? Sympathy pains????
