Home run. No question about it. My number one is heads and shoulders above all the rest. Completely proven. The JD haters will disagree or only grudgingly give this one props, but I have seen the new lead singer of INXS and he is JD.

1) JD - that was sizzling. In every possible way. Dave was very correct in noting JD's shrewd choice in the staging and performance. Seamless and perfect, as if he's done this a million times. Release the new INXS single, right now please.

Big gap>>>>>>>>>>>>

2) Marty - I would be voting for him if JD wasn't dazzling me. I still see some real weaknesses in his vocals, but he does have a presence and an interesting style.

3) Jordis - she only gets this because of the original song. I found it quite interesting. Not INXS in any way, but she could work on it some more and I might buy it.

4) Suzie - her voice is wonderful. But she did nothing to make me not miss Bonnie Raitt's singing on that first song. And that second song? Well, she sang it real well. I'm being as polite as I can here.

5) MiG - horrible. Just horrible. Showed every possible vocal weakness in "Hard to Handle." As if that wasn't bad enough, the orginal was the cheesiest thing I've heard in ages. Sounds like a really bad version (and what could be worse?) of an early '80s Starship song. Embarrassingly bad.

I'm such a slut for the blues.
