OMG, Ginger, She IS Rock Star's answer to Carmen Rasmussen. Good One!

But Carmen wasn't as bad as Josh, and Jessica isn't that bad, either. Hilarious...kayeeum! Har!

Ok. Here's my theory. The show is not getting good ratings. Six million viewers
is not good for a prime time show. But CBS wants to make its female fans happy.
And that does not necessarily mean keeping the boys around; it means keeping the
girls around so the female viewers think that there is a "chance" a female singer
will be picked to lead the band.

But you have a better chance of being struck by lightening if you think INXS is going
to pick a girl singer. Ain't going to happen.

Jessica could easily have been cut loose. But they cut the guy because he was expendable.
He's more suited for a Black Crows type of band anyway.

Jessica's time is numbered. But she is the most photogenic, so they may keep her
around till the very end and then cut her loose.

Remember, this is television. And reaility television is not like a documentary where
you let the cameras role and see what sticks. Things are manipulated greatly in
reality TV.

Another thing: they tape this show on a Sunday afternoon. Don't tell me these bottom
three singers were not told several days in advance about their situation. They don't
just stand up on the day of the taping and start singing inxs songs. No sir. They've
had time to rehearse.

I wondered about that, but I don't think so the reactions seem legit. Plus, Brandon's comments about the song he was given seemed to indicate he wasn't given time to rehearse that song. I am sure they have rehearsal time, but I don't think they know they are on the bottom three at the time and I don't think they know the songs that will be performed.

I knew I should've posted this info when I ran across it a few weeks ago. I think it's on the INXS web site, but it's mentioned all of the singers practice the 3 songs on Tuesday. It did not mention whether INXS members were at the practices though I'd guess so.

If somebody like Jessica was consistent from week to week in practice and on Wednesday night when it really counts that may be a big influence on who they eliminate. Jessica may not be in any danger until she goes up against somebody who performs their songs as well and as consistently as she does. She may bore me but her timing is good, has a better range than somebody like Deanna, and she doesn't forget lyrics.

The performance show is taped Sunday @ 3pm.
The elimination show is taped Wednesday @ 11am.

Has anyone gone to a taping yet? I may go this Sunday, though I haven't tried to get in yet...may be too late. I'm wondering how long it takes, how much stop-and-start is there, etc.

All the Sunday shows are full. Ya snooze, ya lose.
Wednesdays are all still available, but...
I'm on the waiting list for this Sunday, and maybe I'll just go over there anyway, in case of last minute no-shows.
