"Anyone see the VH1 show on 8-14?" |
Missed part of the show tonight...saw that there were two groups & apparently they'd been required to compose a song & perform it? All I saw was that J.D. didn't want to cooperate w/his 'group.' What happened at their performances? Anything said about J.D. not being a 'team player'?

I like JD but he wasn't a team player. I didn't care for the way Jordis or Marty treated him though, so I don't really blame him. Did anyone notice at the end the song he was rehearsing with the house band was the song he wrote? I know from reading this board that many don't like him or his attitude... but the guy has talent! Can't wait to see if they do "his" song Tuesday night & how it goes over with INXS & the audience!!

Team player or not JD does have talent you can't denie that but he's not very likable in my opinion. Even though I don't like him I hope he wins. Let's face it, INXS was pretty much washed up even before Hutchence died. They may still have an international following but I don't see them being big in the states again. So, If JD were to win we would not have to deal with him and can look forward to whatever Jordis and Marty come away with. Jordis is by far the stand out but I doubt she will be picked (and i hope they dont)as the winner.

HauntedOne said the following:Team player or not JD does have talent you can't denie that but he's not very likable in my opinion. Even though I don't like him I hope he wins. I'm saying:
Sweetie there are very likable people on earth that have talent.. would you pay to see a mean person do something good or pay wonderful person do something good? Why do you want him to win if you don't like him.. are you willing to pay to see JD live? I don't think so.

LAST EDITED ON 08-16-05 AT 05:06 AM (EST)Someone said this: I agree. J.D. is a misfit, and INXS won't put up with someone like that to be a member of their band. The public won't either. He will be in the bottom 3 soon if not this week, and will be eliminated by INXS for not being a team player. Now I'm saying this: I agree with you~

>I really like what VH1 does >with the show as compaired >to CBS. I agree, that these last 2 weeks on VH1 Mark Burnett has done a lot more with the half hour. Still wish they would do an hour. I don't think the way J.D. handled himself in the "collaboration" will hurt him at all. I thought it was great that he stood by his choice of not doing fluff and not taking the assignment seriously and, instead, wanting to do something really good. I think Marty was flip-flopping in his role as music director and I personally feel he went with Jordis because he probably thinks she walks on water because of the praise she gets almost every week. I also did not care for Jordis's attitude about it. Basically, J.D. is like the black sheep, because he keeps reminding them "we're not a band, we're competing to be in the band. And none of them were going to back up J.D. no matter what and I think it was in his best interest to stick to his guns and his song. Glad he got to perform it. Who knows, maybe it will end up being on the album? Ty's group should have been ashamed of themselves with their "StopGo" garbage. The not very good feedback on the song in the house should have made them wake up & realize it was really, really lame but instead, they sing it in the restaurant? As, one of the INXS guys put it, "really sounds corny." I think J.D. spotlighted his talent to INXS again & it will help him. Great move by J.D. Loved all the jealous dagger-looks he was getting from the others.

Ditto ditto Geg6 and Chat. First of all, the entire Stop/Go team should be booted tonight for that horrendous godawful song that they just loved. (The hair on the back of my neck rises when I think about it.) When you're on a team project, you need to express an opinion or else you're just taking up space. SOMEBODY on that team should have said something about how ridiculous that song was ... they all lost all rock-and-roll credibility in my mind. Putting a group of contestants who are vying for the same job on a team project is great TV, but it's not a valid indicator of future performance. The true ultimate goal is to show why you are right for the job, and buying into a bad song is just plain stupid IMHO. Case in point: Will INXS think that any of the Stop/Go team has songwriting talent (or good taste?) Jordis' song was booooorrrring and Marty had no opinion whatsoever -- he just seemed to acquiesce to Jordis and use her as a shield. Of course teamwork is important in a band, but I don't think it's reasonable to think that the way anybody works with the other contestants is the way they'll work with INXS. The exercise they went through is nowhere near a true simulation. INXS will need someone to contribute lyrically and musically, so they need someone with talent in those areas ... and when you have talent, you have an opinion and you share it respectfully. How does one do that with people you're competing against, people who have much different talent levels and ambitions? I mean honestly, if you were on the Stop/Go team and respectfully explained why you didn't think it was good AND suggested an alternative and Ty went with the group consensus to stick with Stop/Go? Would it be in your best interest to sing your heart out on it and look like a complete dufus? I think JD was TOTALLY right in how he handled himself. It's not a huge ego or an inability to work with people in the right situation. It's a competition!!!

I agree with part of what you said, the parts I quoted.
I mean really, do you think JD would behave so disrespectfully to INXS if he were collaborating with them? NO WAY. I can't see any of these contestants being anything other than deferential to their elder bandmates! All this did was show, in a general way, who plays nicely with others, as if we didn't already know.

>I don't think anyone would disagree >that JD is talented. >INXS definitely knows it. >What will hurt JD the >most is his manipulative personality. > I think they way >he acted in this clinic >will hurt him. He >really can't be trusted. I have to respectfully disagree. I don't see this "master manipulator" J.D. What I see is someone who made a remark that ticked off everybody, so now he is an outcast by the "house." In each ep you'll see small attempts by him to try to mend fences, which is usually rebuffed and then he gets defensive. Who wouldn't? Also, he wasn't the sole problem with the collaboration process and I'm sure all footage is reviewed & INXS saw what went on. J.D. started as a "team player" and was the one who suggested Marty be the music director. Problem number one is Jordis basically wanted to do her thing and didn't like J.D.'s input. Marty floundered between J.D. and Jordis, apparently thinking both had potential and decided to go with Queen Jordis. Really, I think Marty, Jordis & Jessica looked worse in this project for not giving J.D. any credit or respect with his idea. Especially, since his song was the "better song" they were fools not to go with J.D.'s idea. I think that will hurt them slightly in this. Just because they are annoyed with J.D., they weren't going to listen or accept anything from him. >If INXS chooses him they will >regret it, guaranteed. JD >will prove difficult in no >time, even though he'd cooperate >with them in the beginning. > He will ultimately show >his discontent and indepenence and >start thinking he is too >good for the band. >He is NOT a team >player and he proved it. Also disagree. J.D. has time and time again stated how much of a fan he is of INXS, how much he respects them & how much he wants this. How he interacts with competitors who do not like him and do not respect anything he has to say, does not indicate how he would conduct himself with INXS. After this ep & seeing that J.D. also has talent in writing is a huge plus for him. Hutchence & A.Farris did most of the song writing in the past, so someone who can write lyrics would be a huge plus to fill the void left behind by M.H.

Well, Well, Well...I thought last night's show revealed a lot about who should or shouldn't win this competition. Firstly let me say that I have totally revised my opinion about jordis being someone to look to win this thing. What the heck was she talking about by lyrics being "too obvious"... umm hello you are trying to win to be the lead in INXS, not Nirvana. How utterly pretentious! She is way not right for the band, but neither is Ty, Suzie, or Jessica. I really feel this is race between JD, Marty, and Mig at this point. However I must say... that was a LAME track! I hope that the INXS boys have more up their sleeves than that. Oh and by the way I noticed that Tim is looking quite a bit more refreshed lately. He even dyed his hair... Hmm
Darth Sarcastic... OUT!
