Rock Star INXS

[vanda]

Has anyone been watching this? What are your thoughts?

I'm addicted, but I've been a fan since the day "our band, INXS" orignally hit the US. Counting down the days until MiG is pronounced as "right for our band, INXS".

Yes, I've been reading way too much of the TWoP board for this show

[DZHBrown]

I've been watching the last couple of episodes. I like Jordis as a musician, but not for INXS. I think I'm leaning towards JD.

The black guy forgot to get his hair cut all over.

VH1Classic showed a bunch of live INXS clips with interview footage tonight on "Classic in Concert". I'd forgotten just how much I really adored them until I saw the live stuff.

The live stuff reinforced (in my mind) that MiG will be the one singing "Don't Change" to close out RS:INXS. Jordis is just too good for OB:INXS, especially after her performances this week. Even so, I hope she stays around until the end just so I can watch her for free. Maybe she can hire the house band and go on tour with them after the show. I'd seriously pay to see that. I'll put the long shot on Marty to win-place-show.

FYI--the Monday night shows are no longer on CBS due to ratings. The Monday night show will be on VH1 on Sunday nights now. Clear as mud, right? Tuesday and Wednesdays will remain (for now) on CBS. Also, the show is scheduled to end two weeks earlier than originally planned. Guess we should expect another double elim at some point?

Jordis is my fave, but I agree that she's too good for OB:INXS. I would buy her rendition of "The Man Who Sold the World" today if it were available.

I am torn between MiG, Marty & Ty...but I know Ty is not right for OB:INXS. The Aussie thing may just push MiG over the top b/c I think talent-wise they are pretty similar.

I missed the mansion ep this week (TIVO didn't catch the switch to VH1), but heard JD was his usual manipulative freak self. Does he seriously not realize he is one of the tooliest tools who ever tooled? He's so full of himself... (Sorry Heather!!! I can't stand him!!!)

I'm watching live tonight so I can vote (haven't voted before, but think I need to now that it's getting down to the wire!)

It's available (as are most of the other songs from the show)

Oh, he was overly toolish. Words cannot even describe it. Too bad you didn't see the whole Human Being/Being Human tattoo insanity.

Thanks! I will be downloading it as soon as I get home!

I have been watching. I want JD to win because he is hot.

[BGKdLady]

I'm not a Jordis fan for the INXS spot, but she will have a great career on her own. I love her version of "The Man Who...". So is Monday night always going to be on VH1 from now on? We didn't get to catch it.

[AOIIalum]

Yes, the Monday night show has moved to Sunday nights on VH1. It's repeated a few times each week, and worth watching the rerun just to see what an ultra maroon JD is (sorry, girls, but I can't stand him).

If you're in Canada, I hear the Monday night show is still on Mondays. Not sure on details though.

So who's going to get the encore tomorrow night? I liked Marty's unplugged "Mr. Brightside" and Ty's "No Woman, No Cry." The level of talent on this show constantly amazes me. Jordis was off her game--she looked like she was looking for something in the crowd the whole time & not really focused. But still good...

I think the bottom 3 will be Jessica, Brandon and ???
Deanna wasn't the worst, but I'm growing tired of her... Jessica's going home, and it looked like she knows it. From OB:INXS' comments, it sounds like they've made up their minds about Brandon & Jessica not being right...I wonder if tomorrow will be another 2 person elimination?

[Tippiechick]

Probably.

They've just reduced the show by two weeks or two eliminations. One of those extra eliminations can from Daphna/Heather and the other will most likely be tomorrow night with Brandon/Jessica. That would solve their problem completely.

[butterfly2001nc]

love this show! Ty's performance was soooo good! I also really like Mig's performance. Jordis was a little off but she's still bad ass

[AOIIalum]

For some reason, I'm thinking the bottom three will be Jessica, Brandon and Deanna. It wouldn't surprise me if Deanna isn't in the bottom three and someone else was. Expect the double elim for tonight, unless Mark Burnett wants the "drama" of doing a double-elim towards the end of the series. He'd be the type to take 3 rawkers into the final week instead of only two.

Suzie is definitely upping her game at the right time. She's still not roit for OB:INXS, but I'm enjoying her performances more and more.

Jordis was definitely off, but even an off Jordis was great. Hope MiG does something slow and pretty next week, and gets his first choice to boot. Ty was incredible. Loved his performance top to bottom. It was clear from the OB:INXS shots that they really liked it. That made me smile.

Live show spoilers pretty much said that Marty's rehearsal was with the full OB:House, and was the single best performance of the series to date. Period. Wish we could see that! Maybe he'll get the encore and do it with OB:House instead of acoustic. Love Love LOVE Kirk's idea to have next week acoustic. Wonder if that would really happen?
