"What is that I smell? Oh it must be this show... It Stinks!"
Folks,

I tell you this is a grade "A" example on how to ruin a show. I think that if anyone is overrated it is Mark Burnett and his production company. The "genius" of reality TV can't seem to keep this show as exciting as some of his other productions. Can you imagine several more weeks at this pace? It has literally run out of steam.

What kind of a show drags on to the point where everyone of the remaining contestants begins to look like a loser? I am not sure who would be good for this band at this point, hell I am not even sure about the band! I liked Jordis but man has she blown chunks lately. I liked Ty but the more he performs the less masculine he comes across (read between the lines here). I even have a bit of a soft spot for Suzie. I think she could be a possible lead singer for a different band, but she has to start enhancing her sexuality much much more. If this is really a three horse race between Marty, Mig, and JD then let's get on with it! Why do I want to see some of the early favorites ruin their chance at fame somewhere else so that the show can fill it's episode commitment (I might have bought a Jordis album acouple of weeks ago, but now...).

In addition I have read some of the contestant blogs and we are not seeing some of the best stuff about their experiences at the house. There is apparently a LOT more going on after hours. WHY CAN"T WE SEE THAT??? Some of the more salacious material might just spice this show up.

Finally... What the hell is going on with Brooke Burke? Does she have to be so scripted? I mean I watch her walk out to see what she is wearing then boom I TIVO right past her bits now. It's mind-numbing how bad she has become. Brooke come out in a bikini or something, anything.

Obviously a lot of people agree with you about the show. Personally I like the music much more than what we see on American Idol.

2. "Disagree"
I never saw this show until this week. I watched it with friends after "Big Brother" ended because they said they really enjoyed it.

This is not the kind of music that I would seek out on the radio --- but I thoroughly enjoyed all but the last performance on Tuesday's show. I was very pleasantly surprised.

I can't stand to watch "American Idol." In contrast, ALL of the performers on this show seemed talented. They all have well-developed personalities. When asked questions, they give thoughtful responses, as opposed to the bubble gum mentality over on "American Idol." This wasn't a high school talent show like "American Idol."

I've added this show to my list.

I liked Ty but the more he performs the less masculine he comes across (read between the lines here).

No, I don't think that I will read between the lines here. Maybe you should just be "masculine" enough to say what you mean.

I mean I watch her walk out to see what she is wearing then boom I TIVO right past her bits now. ... Brooke come out in a bikini or something, anything.

Perhaps you would be better off renting some soft-core porn if you find that this show isn't really entertaining you.

Yay! You're watching!!!

Agree with you on the Ty comment. Real men say what they mean. Oh, and I saw Ty years ago in a rock band he was in here in Pittsburgh when he was in college at CMU. I'll just say that the women in that audience had no doubts as to his masculinity. And he made no bones about his heterosexuality. Not that any of that matters anyway.

Did you see JD? Is he hot or what?

What, Huh? <sigh> Can somebody post a reply that has actually been watching the show from THE BEGINNING as I have. If you had you would know how seriously the show has declined. You don't really know what you are talking about, how can you disagree with me when you have only watched ONE show. Please keep your baby powder dry OK?

As for TY, I think people who once again have been watching from the beginning know exactly what I mean. I don't know him personally so I don't think it would be fair for me to speculate about his ummm shall we say "preferences", that type of stuff can spread very quickly around the internet.

Well Darth, I have been watching since week one and I definitely disagree with you! We are down to the six most talented performers in the group. The music is rockin! The House Band is Fantastic! What more do you want???


If you're interested in girls in bikinis, turn the station to old Baywatch Reruns. Maybe that's more your style!

8. "RE: Disagree"
Well, I have watched the show from the very 1st show, and haven't missed one of them. I do like Ty even though I don't think he will win. I think he would be great fronting his own band. I did love what he said last night to INXS about not having to say how much he wanted the INXS spot all the time.
I could do without the corny hairdo and think he would be better off and better looking without it. I also hope he can get over the tongue theatrics because that has been done and it's OVER!
There are a few things about the show now that do piss me off and one of them is the way they drag out getting to the bottom 3. I REALLY hate it when Brooke starts calling off names letting them think they are bottom 3 and then says....Your safe. That is so kindergarten! Just get to the nut cuttin and tell them who is bottom 3 then lets talk to them or something. Enough of the games!

100% right-on! That is SO juvenile! I don't object to them saying who all had been in the bottom three during the vote--although if you ran the statistical analysis on it, probably at some point, each one would have been--but it just wastes everyone's time to 'play like' someone is 'in trouble' when they aren't.

Give us a break!

I have been watching from the start and have never missed a single episode. If you want to watch porn, watch the Howard Stern Show. If you want crappy music, watch AI. This show is quality, as are all EPMB productions. I don't like every performer left, but the best of the bunch are now competing. I like it better now than I did to start and that's saying something.

Well, Darth, I think that I've wacthed enough reality television and written enough commentary on it to be qualified to offer a critique of this show.

As for your obsession with Ty's, ummmmm, "preferences," I don't know why the fvck anybody would give a damn unless they happened to be a bigoted homophobe.

Edited to add: I just realized that there's another group of people who might care about Ty's sexuality ---> people who are attracted to him.

18. "RE: Disagree"
HD,

You are such a hater, get a life. For the last time if you have read any of my other critiques of the show in addition to this one you will realize that I never said Ty couldn't rock. It is however his lack of masculinity that is turning people off to him (many probably can't articulate whay they don't like him, they just don't). I can gaurantee you that is a major factor as to why he has great performances but just doesn't do "it" for people.

In addition to ALL you haters who are focused in on my comments about Brooke Burke. You can't tell me all that "you're in the bottom three" stuff does get to be a tad much. She also shows a real lack of empathy, she is by far the worst reality host out there. I think Caroline Rhea did a better job with the "Biggest Loser". Oh and by the way, Brooke Burke got her start in the biz by doing E!'s "Wild On" series where she wore bikini's for every episode. Sorry you folks didn't get it...

Oh and excuse me for thinking Mark Burnett might be dropping the ball on this one. I am sure that is why only the rest of the country is NOT watching this show.

Bye for now haters!


Boom there it is!

We tend to refrain from calling each other names around here, it being against the community guidelines and all. We like to bash (or not bash) the shows, not each other.

In case nobody has done so previously, let me welcome you to RTVW. Many welcomes come with a suggestion about reading the guidelines. It only takes a few minutes.

Umm excuse me dude... Your hypocracy dinner is ready! HELLO, go back and read some of your own posts before you acuse me of anything. Uggh. Oh and also feel free NOT to respond to any more of my threads in the future if you can't stay ON topic like the good folks wrote in section 2 of the guidelines (did You actually read them yourself?).

Let's not get too full of ourselves here my opinion is just as valid as yours or anyones thank you very much. You don't like what I have to say, then ignore my posts... Oh and for the record I never called anyone gay.


In case you forgot, the name is Darth Sarcastic!

What you're saying here is that I should allow someone to personally attack me and not respond. Remember I never wrote anything asking History Detective to comment about me, the show, or anything else. He felt the NEED to reply to me in such a manner.

27. "Exactly"
We want the show forums to be discussions of the show, not flame wars. That's why our guidelines ask posters to alert the mods when a problem occurs and then let the moderators handle it. Experience has taught us that's the better way to keep flame wars to a minimum and to keep discussions on topic.

And now that this issue has been handled, let's return to the show discussion.

Sorry, but I just got to my e-mail from over the weekend. HistoryDetective, this clearly crosses the line, even though it tries to be impersonal. Therefore, this is a warning for violating the guidelines regarding personal attacks.

I just realized that there's another group of people who might care about Ty's sexuality ---> people who are attracted to him.

This, however, is not a personal attack and is therefore OK. On this site, at least, there is nothing wrong with being gay, so such a comment is not considered an insult. In fact, there may be many people posting here who ARE attracted to Ty (though I have no idea who they may be).

I agree even if Ty seems a little bit feminine so what! I have known artistically creative men who some might stereotypically consider gay and they are about the straightest out there and even if Ty is gay then that is his business and it doesn't make him less of a rocker. Thank you HD for pointing that comment out I was hoping when I read this thread that someone out there would think like me on this.

I couldn't disagree more. All of the performers that are left are extremely talented. I can't really add much more to what the others said- if you're looking for sex rent a porn flick or something..In my opinion, and the opinion of everyone I know who watches this it's the only good reality show on TV. I've watched every episode from the beginning and really appreciate it NOT being anything like AI.

Be careful when critiquing performances not to get personal. As someone noted, the "real stuff" we don't get to see would give us more clues than idle speculation anyway.

But yeah, I don't think Ty is an especially masculine performer, regardless of his personal status. And yes, it matters. For a band like INXS, image is everything. You've got to be a guy (sadly, yes, a guy) who men emulate and women want to $#&(. I don't think Ty fits either bill. But he should do fine in another context, dontcha think?

And Ty, that tongue stuff is DISGUSTING!! Quit it!

I agree about the dragging on and on. I kinda wish they had let two people go this week. I mean we know Ty's not going to be the lead singer. I do enjoy watching him for comedic purposes. Great voice, awful image.

As for Brooke Burke. I know the name of the band, INXS. How many time does she have to say it? Does she need to over pronounce it?

My gaydar went off earlier this week on Ty as well. I mentioned to my wife, that during the question/answer session with the band after his performance..."he just sounded gay." Yeah, so what, your right that doesn't have anything to do with whether he should be in the band or not, but it doesn't mean we can't talk about it. ;)

I have to agree about Brook Burke saying "INXS" like every other word. What IS up with that? It looks to me like she's reading every word she says though so maybe we can't blame her. And YES, they do drag out the results show. Especially this week when they expanded to an hour but I guess they feel that the suspense is exciting. WRONG! I really wish they would move the show back to 9 PM. I think that would help the ratings tremendously. Also, don't forget that summer shows usually have lower ratings. I personally love the show. I'm really hoping that there will be one on next season but I have no idea who I would want the band to be. ???????????????????

28. "RE: What is that I smell? Oh it must be this show... It Stinks!"
I have watched this since day one, being a former INXS fan (many fond memories) & a fan of Burnette's productions -- Survivor & even Apprentice (while I despise DT, because of personal knowledge of his shady business practices).

Anyway, I agree with some of what you're saying. I was so disappointed when RockStar started out with dismal ratings (blame CBS for not advertising it better to give people unfamiliar with INXS an idea of what this show is about). I look forward to Sun night's ep on VH1 & have wished they would expand it to an hour & Burnette can work his magic. It certainly would spice things up, a bit.

BUT, if we're concentrating on this show being a "talent" contest, then they need to quit trying to put the contestants into little prepackaged models of "bad boy" "sensitive guy" "flamboyant guy" "hot mama" "cute girl" "hip girl" & "hip guy" -- which is this show intended to be? Just let them perform each week & let us & INXS decide who is the best.

The subject of TY. I understand where you're coming from, in part. I was a huge fan of Ty in the beginning and had him as my top 3 to front INXS. But as the weeks progressed, he has gotten more theatrical & over the top, which IMO has overshadowed his talent. I still think he has about the best voices of ALL the rockers, but I do not see him as the front man for INXS or any band, really. I see TY as a one man show.

On the subject of Jordis. (Many people are going to take offense at the following). I felt she was the most talented of the girls & most of the guys. There is one thing that drives me nuts about her, though, and that is her lisp. At times it is so pronouced it just drives me crazy, but that's just my opinion. Anyway, she was blowing away most of the competition week after week, to her pinnacle, "The man who sold the world." Phenomenal performance. Now, the last three weeks, she has been progressively getting worse & hit rock bottom.

Now, if this show was in the finals in week 4, many of us would have thought wow, this Jordis can do no wrong, she should win. But with each week, comes more pressure, more stress from INXS to show versatility, creativity and skills other than just singing covers. That is why, IMO, I'm glad this show is being played out the way it is, so that we are seeing the falling of some and the rise of others.

It is important to see how one responds after a bad performance and how one responds to criticism. All of these people have huge vocal talent, no question, but there is more to be taken into consideration. Some of these people are failing when it comes to taking criticism (Marty & Ty, to some extent). Some are failing by not picking themselves up after bombing & coming back with vengeance (Jordis). These things show a lot about a person.

JD was riding high the first couple weeks then hit bottom with Champions. What did he do? He came back to show that was just one terrible performance & not definitive of his talent. Also, JD is the best of all of the contestants at taking each critique by INXS to heart & not getting defensive. He realizes that the criticism is not a personal attack, but is meant to help him improve & give direction at what INXS is ultimately looking for.

MiG has been fairly good at taking the criticism, but he gets a bit defensive & too sensitive about input from INXS & the house band. He has been my #2 choice at winning. IMO his other weakness is inconsistency & he seems more like a "Billy Joel" than a lead to a rock band. His most stellar performance was last week. Maybe it's because he has been in theatre so long, that he is stuck in that mode.

Lastly is little Suzie. IMO she has gotten better each week & I really like her voice. She has been taking the hits well & keeps coming back getting better & better. I think her biggest obstacle is that she seems like a little girl in this competition. She is just too darn cute & not enough edge.

So, anyway, after my long-winded explanation it boils down to, I love the show & wish it would have been executed just a little bit different from the beginning to garner more attention & ratings. I love that it is being dragged out the way it is, because it gives us the chance to see who grows & who doesn't. The music biz is TOUGH and there are so many one hit wonders because people aren't creative enough with songwriting, don't have charisma, can't take criticism, etc.

I could watch a RockStar Tue. concert night 52 weeks a year, rather than suffering through the silly AI popularity contest & the "yo dawgs" "you look so pretty" & "you are a fat Jessica Simpson".

Meow!

Hey all, I am new to the boards - from Indy area. I have watched this show since day 1 and I absolutely love it! Yea, I agree they have strung out the shows recently to try to give some suspense, but overall this show rocks! My fav from the beginning was Ty and JD but the past couple weeks I really like Mig but still think JD could pull it off. I really thought Marty would get voted off a while ago. I think he's a great performer but I don't think he is right for INXS. Actually all of the ones that are left will have no problem getting some type of record deal, IMO.
I think that the show should take all the contestants on TOUR for a live show. I would go see them, but of course, they would have to have that HOUSE BAND with them..now they are awesome!
I really like Susie also but I don't feel she is right for the band as their lead singer. I feel it will be between JD and Mig.
I wish I would of found these boards a long time ago because I am a reality tv fanatic!

(P.S. - how do you get those icons by your name?)
Thank u!!

So, I'm guessing we won't be seeing anymore posts from you on this forum?

I enjoy the show and I don't know if I can go back to watching AI after this. I don't think the show is making any of the remaining contestants looking like losers. Yeah, some of them have had less than spectacular performances. But I've been to concerts and can tell you that most commercial bands do not perform live with the same pre-packaged perfection that the record companies peddle. If I made my decisions to buy albums based on what I hear at live performances, I would have a pretty small collection of CDs.

As for the blogs, I'm sure that all the contestants are acutely aware that their house members, INXS, and Dave Navarro, as well as the voting public are reading these blogs intently. Why would they commit career suicide by spouting cr@p about their housemates?

Whether or not Ty prefers peaches or bananas doesn't really bother me. This is a singing contest. He nailed "What You Need" and I could see him fronting INXS.

Finally, I don't think that Brooke Burke is any worse than Mr. Ryan "We'll find out............right after the break" Seacrest "Out". She's just doing the job she was given.

This show isn't anymore drawn out than AI was. It would've been nice for INXS to eliminate a few more earlier on. I know they got rid of two on one episode. However, now that we are finally down to the top 6 I enjoy watching them perform each week.


I miss Deana though.
