I'm going to do a couple of love lists:

Who do I love in INXS:

1. JD
2. MiG
3. Marty
4. Suzie

Who do I love on their own:

1. Marty
2. JD
3. MiG
4. Suzie

Last night sealed it for me - Marty is not right for this band. I'm trying to keep my head straight on who should be getting these votes and WHY (I mean, what's the real prize here..). All in all, I guess I'm not a Suzie fan, so the top three are firm for me either way. I want Marty to stay in it just to hear more of him. But I can't see him successfully fronting THIS band. INXS doing "Trees"??? Come on. I can't get it out of my head, but do it with somebody else - PLEASE! He's quite a salesman though, I will say. When he sits in front of the band, he is not intimidated at all. He's knows how to sell himself. MiG and Suzie are intimidated, while JD is quite a butt-kisser.

Overall, I just think JD is perfect for this gig. His song is awesome, and INXS obviously love it. He brings a good blend of traditional, without introducing too much of a radical style change for the band (while still bringing them a modern edge). From a logical and objective view of what this competition is about, JD has to take it for me at this point (assuming his attitute is controllable to the point of not being self-destructive).

MiG could be assimilated into the band, and be successful. Let's face it - it's INXS we're talking about. It's not like we're replacing the lead singer of Queen or something.
