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.
