"Wednesday night Recap: Nail biting continues." |
I was waiting for the spanking that JD would get for suggesting that he knew and loved inxs songs better then the others. I loved that he didn't back down from the way that he felt, even better that Dave supported him by telling the other rockers that it was a competition and JD had set the standard high. Inxs agreed that he was showing that he was the most focused to win. I am sure it will come down to Mig and JD, unless one of them just blows it. Mig
is so talented. He is the most oringinal, moves the best and could be a fit for the band?
JD
started off bad but has redeamed himself and even one of the top picks. He has proved to be multi talented and very impressive, when he is on stage...HOt!
Marty
has it going on for sure, I was disapointed that they showed him on camera sniveling about JD, Get over it.
Brandon
seems a little too classic rock for the once progressive rock band Inxs.
Ty
Very Very talented not right (so far) for the Inxs we all know and love.
I still don't believe a woman is going to front this band. The talent and the exposure is all these people need, done deal they all have a great future.
My Favorite of the women is the Red head, can't rememeber her name. But I love her voice and style.
Who does everyone else like?
Who do you think is doing the best right now?

Love Mig. Love JD. I agree it will (or should) come down to those two. However, I personally feel both of these guys are better than fronting INXS.JD's comments were a bit harsh -- I'm glad they called him on it -- a little surprised INXS defended him. Sure, he's raising the stakes, but do it through your singing and performance, not with backhanded compliments and @ss-kissing. I thought it ended his otherwise excellent performance on a down note. I also really like Ty, but I don't see him as right for this band. He's more straight out rock. And I agree, although I think it's cool that women are in this competition, I'm not sure if a woman frontperson is a good choice for this band.

I wasn't trying to dis INXS with my comments. I think they were/are an extremely talented band. I have to say, I had some problems with the concept of this show when I first heard of it. I thought it was very strange to be making a "game" (via a reality TV show) of auditioning singers for their band after their own singer died in such a horrible, tragic way. True, it was a long time ago, but he was an integral part of this band and replacing him and his unique singing and personal style is going to be difficult enough without making a contest out of it. I wasn't even going to watch this show, but I flipped it on during the second episode and was so blown away by the talent, that I decided to watch it just for the pure enjoyment of the performers. However, I do wonder about the prize ending of being the frontperson of INXS -- their time has come and gone a long time ago in terms of being a top band and I am just curious if adding a new singer is really going to do anything to catapult them into stardom again. If they can reinvent themselves and it does work, I think it will be wonderful. But I do have my doubts and wonder if most of these performers would do better getting the exposure on this show and then using it to front their own unique projects. I loved INXS a long time ago too. But sometimes it's just better to let the past lie. That's not a dis on them, just my personal feelings. I'd feel the same way if this show was called Rock Star: The Doors.

Cool. I understand where you're coming from.I agree they cannot replace Hutchens and they stated at the beginning that that is not their intention at all. They want someone to bring something else to the band and continue on. They have been performing with "guest" vocalists over years. Many bands and solo artists reinvent themselves and come back. INXS signed a record deal and I am really looking forward to seeing what they do when they choose their new lead singer. I understand your comments re Morrison/The Doors and replacing a great talent who has passed away, but the thing with "bands" as opposed to "solo" artists, there is more than one person and talent collaborating on music. Why should the band suffer if their lead either quits for a solo gig or in the unfortunate event of dying? In any event, I am going to be anxiously awaiting to see what INXS does after this and see how their next album sounds when they mix their talent and EXPERIENCE with the talent one of these contestants.

So far, only the bottom three have gotten to sing INXS songs. I'm waiting for the time when/if all the competitors get to sing INXS songs, as I'm very interested to see what happens when it's time for J.D. to sing one. Will he re-arrange it? Will that impress or annoy INXS? Is he simply unable to do a "straight" rendition of a song?

I'm new here to your Reality TV World forum on posting but have been reading the various forums for a long time mainly the Survivor forums. I hope you don't mind me adding my two cents.  Being from the older rock generation (50s, 60s) but continuing to be exposed to the rock music of the 70s, 80s and 90s through my children, here is my take on this show and INXS. When I first watched the commercials introducing the show during my Survivor episodes (I'm a die hard Survivor fan) I almost didn't want to watch it because I thought it was going to be too much like American Idol. Much to my surprise Rock Star INXS has turned out to be a kick a-s-s show. To the most part, the
singers are excellent and I love the song selections. It's like watching a rock concert every week on TV without the original artists. I never followed INXS that much but I plan on following them now depending on who gets the lead singer job. IMO, Mark Burnett's brilliance has brought back the exposure of this rock band (minus the dynamics of their now gone but not forgotten lead singer, Michael Hutchence) to the public eye via TV to millions and for those of us from the baby boomer generation. And with that, the introduction of the new lead singer which we will get to watch/hear practically a whole album of their singing during the auditions. And the international voting polls will tell Mark Burnett whether this new lead singer is going to make or break this band. Being spread over three days with two shows being half hour shows is difficult. I would rather see two-one hour shows or one-two hour show. At least each three shows are in the same week one after another. I would hate to have to wait a week to see who is voted off. That said, I am still taping it to DVD each week to review the shows for myself. (Plus I plan on using this 13 week show as part of our music class in our home school because I see a tremendous amount of educational material for our 9th/11th grade class ie: job interview, performance, music and music cultures, constructive criticism, social interaction, group dynamics, music clinics, etc. One year we used Woodstock and the hippie music culture and last year we used ##### Clark's American Bandstand) As far as which contestants are the best overall, one of the questions I am asking myself to determine that as I watch each show is which one of the performers would I want to watch continually on a whole DVD if I were to separate each of the 15 contestants and make one DVD of all songs per singer. I am trying to get past the point that I like "a" song and that I liked the way "a" singer performed that song or that I liked an original artist and that the performer did a great job of mimicking that original artist or song. That said, so far at this point of watching only three performances each from all of the contestants, my first selection for a single DVD of all performances of each would be 1) Marty, 2) JD, 3) MiG. Each of these three IMO have the
combination of a good singing voice, stage performance, creativity, individuality, and passion. Marty is on top for me because he is the only one of my three choices that adds charisma to his performance. I can picture him in a blue sparkling shirt, or black leather outfit being lowered from above on a platform to a smoked filled stage while his blonde hair is blowing and glowing from the lights as he jumps off the platform and rocks the audience into night of unforgetable entertainment. He's eye catching, entertaining and interesting and a good singer. If INXS don't grab him I do think the publicity will rock his own band, the Lovehammers to stardom. But of the three, JD and MiG are the ones with the eye on the prize. This to me is going to be the kicker on who gets the lead singer position because we, as the fans, will have to sit and watch a whole hour or two performance of one of them on stage. The rest of the singers are good, some better than others but I could not watch them perform song after song on one DVD. Maybe Brandon. Jordis is good but she puts me to sleep. I'm not into "Kiss" or Daphna plus I personally think she a whiner, pouter to get her way. Suzy may surprise us. Tara belongs with a country band, same with Heather. I don't care for Jessica at all. Ty's good but he seems to be the same each performance, Deanna just doesn't do it for me, neither did Neal, Dana murdered Bob Dylan's song and Will, well he needed to go. I am glad that the band backed JD because they were backing his singing and performance on stage not backing the comment that he made. I do think JD is the personality type that speaks before he thinks as he could have just said 'thank you, it's because I love your songs' to the band. JD also admitted on the first show of the second week that he was giving Tara bad advice for competition reasons obviously hoping she would bomb out on the song Parania. It will be interesting next week to see who wakes up and smells the coffee and realizes why JD is getting praise from the band and realizes that is where the competition needs to be directed, not at JD as a person but what he is doing. It is a job interview, it's an audition, it's a public competition, it's reality and it's Mark Burnett's summer entertainment and may the best man or woman win. Thank you for letting me post my opinion,
acandyrose

Take that back. INXS was a great & talented band & Hutchens was a phenomenal lead singer. J.D. & MiG both would be honored to front the band (and they OBVIOUSLY know it).
