posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue

1. "RE: Song Selection (Week of 8/1)" |
I could see a contestant or two who might be up for it but I have to believe the majority would say no. More importantly the producers will probably put the kabosh on it. Like you said, the picking of songs is interesting. Why would Mark Burnett let it be something totally random when he might be able to get a little tension and bickering between contestants? Tension and bickering makes for better TV then a one minute segment of drawing out of a hat. JD's suggestion seems like more fallout from his bomb of first choice last week. This would allow him to blame the hat if he bombs again on a hard song like We are the Champions. Plus INXS have made request of contestants of the type of song they would like to hear. These requests would also be nullified.

I like the Monday show, and I am usually sorry it's over so soon. I like the song selection process, the rehearsal footage, and whatever "clinic" they have.

I am sorry but how is Ty taking the last song...the one no one wants being competitive? There were others out there that fought for their song. Didn't Brandon get the song he really wanted?

Yeah, Ty was sort of brave about taking on a song he never heard--I hope it doesn't backfire on him. I think the House Band was doing well at showing him how it went. Plus, having not heard it before, Ty won't be able to just copy the Foo Fighters' version. ADDED IN EDIT: OOPS, I guess Ty does get to hear the FF version, via MP3, and will do a faithful rendition, according to his blog. Having Brandon owe him one doesn't seem very valuable, since I don't think Brandon will be around much longer! Is it possible to be "somewhat merciless?"
Would that be like being sort of ruthless?

I just can't figure out where they are going with this J.D. thing. They are featuring him so much and showing all the game play in his edit. I don't know if that bodes well for a win for J.D.

Well, all I know is the show is filmed only a couple days before the episodes air and they have been showing JD in this light for a couple weeks now. I myself agree with you that his type of personality may not be good for a band like INXS but I don't think it is as carefully sculpted like you say. However, you gotta believe INXS is watching these episodes and it makes me wonder how smart JD is. If this show was taped months in advance than it is not as big of a deal but the guy is an idiot for displaying everything that he has. Don't you think???? I bet he is a surprise boot in the upcoming weeks.

Could be for an early boot, or could be for a good guy/bad guy finish. They aren't giving Marty that much screen time, so who would be good guy? MiG?

Just the fact that Marty doesn't get so much face time is a sign that he is probably going to be around for a while. Usually the person that gets lots of face time is the one that exits!

I'm willing to entertain that they are not doing it on purpose-but I wouldn't bet on it! Most of us picked favorites the very first week. Can the members of INXS be so different? Could they not say in an aside: we think X,Y and Z will be in the finals, you might want to give them some screen time.

>is. Yeah, INXS says they only judge by the performances, but, c'mon! All the rehearsal stuff? How each one works with the House Band? What the obstacles are for each contestant? And yeah, the personal drama in the house. They HAVE to be seeing the footage! And the part where JD was "tricking" someone (Suzie?) into letting him have his song, then saying he believed in karma? With a straight face?! Uck. He just can't leave soon enough for me.

>>And the part where JD was "tricking" someone (Suzie?) into letting him have his song, then saying he believed in karma? With a straight face?! Uck. He just can't leave soon enough for me.<<This was just a dumb move. Suzie has no say in whether JD stays or goes. So he told the viewers at home (who DO have a say) that he was lying & sneaky so that Suzie would think he was nice? Where's the logic in that? Plus, yes, his 2nd & 3rd performances were very strong, but I think he showed last week that he's got Neal Syndrome: No range, can't stay in tune. (Heather and Brandon are also victims of NS)

23. "Song Choice Commentary" |
LAST EDITED ON 08-02-05 AT 08:57 PM (EST)I don't think they spent much camera time on who got what song, and I had to go to the contestant's blogs to help me remember most of them. Let's see: JESSICA got Blister In the Sun--she's worried about it not showing her "vocal abilities" but from the rehearsal footage, I think she'll do a good job, maybe her best yet. It's getting her out of her Cher Zone, and I didn't think that was possible. TY got Everlong--hmmm. It will be interesting to see how that turns out. I wonder how he'll do on the softer parts... BRANDON got a song by Tonic that I'm vaguely familiar with, but it seems to have a melody, so.... JORDIS got The Man Who Sold The World by David Bowie. I've never heard Bowie's version, but I have heard the version by...NIRVANA. I wonder if Jordis knows that some consider this a Nirvana song? She must, because she's Grunge Girl. And why would she do this song if it reminds her of her dead friend? Why put herself in the position of maybe losing it? From the tiny bit of rehearsal we saw, I think she'll do it beautifully...let's hope she doesn't cry. MARTY got Arms Wide Open by Creed--he'll do that well, I guess, but I don't like the song that much. He was asked by the band to sing a ballad this time. Oh well. MIG will perform We Will Rock You. In his blog, he says he's good friends with Brian May, of Queen. I hope he does this song with the attutude it requires--much swagger and bravado. He would do well to reveal that side of himself, if it's there. SUZIE will do Get Back. That should be good, unless she American Idolizes it. Let's hope not. DEANNA got the Melissa Etheridge song, I'm The Only One. She is gonna sing the hell outta that one, kick @ss & take names. That is, provided her self confidence isn't too destroyed by feeling like "damaged goods" from the vocal clinic. TARA--what song did she get? It's not on the blog. (Her blog entries show her as a very nice person. I feel I may lighten up on her...nah, she still bugs me, at least in performance.) JD--I can't remember what he got, & I know it was one that Suzie was wanting, too. I just remember hitting the mute button when they showed him trying it out! It's not on his blog. So, could someone tell me what Tara & JD will be singing?

You make some good observations.*however* I think Kurt Cobain would be the first to say The Man Who Sold the World is NOT considered a "Nirvana" song. Yeesh. You make me feel old. 
Don't get me wrong, I adore Nirvana. But Bowie? There first, there still, wrote the song, was major hit. "Killing Me Softly" BTW was a ROBERTA FLACK song originally, not the Fugees.

LAST EDITED ON 08-02-05 AT 07:23 PM (EST)Hey, I just want to remind you that what I said earlier was that "some would consider it a Nirvana song" and I still think that's true, because I think there is a whole generation that has only heard Kurt sing it. But, hearing Jordis say last night that it's a Bowie song may have a lot of people saying, Oh! OK, it's a Bowie song! Gotta check it out! Thanks for your welcome! I actually have been to some other forums on this site (Apprentice, Amazing Race & others) but this is the first one where I have been frequently posting. As you can see by my DAW rating, I'm pretty new. Check out my observations about the MSN site's message boards on another thread in this forum. Mea culpa, I won't go back THERE again! I love the word "snarky," don't you? AFTER EDIT: Oh, I see that you have viewed my comments.
