Rock Star INXS

Has anyone else been watching this? I think we are getting it at the same time as y'all as we are allowed to vote. Jordis just got the boot which is sad, but I think she would do better as a soloist. The level of talent on this show is light years ahead of any of the Idols (except Bo Bice). I also like that they are given a predetermined song selection, prevents boring song selections like the Idols often do. JD's original song "It Ain't Pretty" was awesome, I would buy an album by any of the final 5! So nice to see classic rock featured!

I can't watch it without crying so sad. They were my favorite band I had every album went to concerts and even got pics with them. When he died I took it real bad and haven't been able to listen to them since. I like the show but I've been bugged a few times because the way they sing and act they seemed like they weren't even familiar with INXS. Mig's my fav. I like JD alot but he seems a bit stuck up. But Jordis was good but not for them.

I think it is between Mig and Marty as to who fits in best with the band. Any of the final five could easily have a great solo career as a rock star, Susie's rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody was awesome! I hope JD's original gets released on an album somewhere!

I LOVE this show!

I hope in the end it's Marty, if not then Mig, definitely not JD, I can't stand brown nosers.

I guess they are releasing a cd on the 20th of this month will all of their vocal performances from the show. I'm definitely going to buy it.

"Trees" by Marty is awesome.

Definitely isn't my kind of music - most of it but I did watch some of the shows in part, including last night & I say Mig wins, Marty second & JD third.

I agree with Joel. I like Marty, but Mig just has more stage presence. I think Marty and JD will have great solo artist careers if they don't win. I LOVE JD's original song Pretty Vegas, I have had that song buzzing around in my head all week!

Mig blew me away with Paint it Black (one of my fave Stones songs) and Kiss from a Rose (one of my fave songs of all time)!

I just watched this for the first time last night. I preferred Mig's first song and thought he was a lock for sure--until he sang What You Need (I think). I thought his voice seemed pretty weak, especially for someone who is supposed to be fronting INXS at the end of this.

I was thinkin the same thing last night..he was aweful singing that awesome INXS song!!

Say what you will but I like JD Fortune I love Pretty Vegas!!:) :) :) I liked Mig more at the beginning of the show..now I am not as sure. As far as Marty goes he can scream like the dickens but sing.....he doesn't have much range. I do like trees though very much :) The girl...well she had to go..her voice isn't holding out to good. Just my 2 cents :)

Fun show to watch....no w tonight is my FAV of all time SURVIVOR!!!!

Anybody gonna watch it??

I LOVE Survivor! How far along are you guys? We are just getting the first episode tonight! Looking forward to another Amazing Race too. We have a good show called the Mole-kind of like Survivor but one of the contestants is secretly trying to sabotage their efforts to complete tasks and win money for the kitty which goes to the winner. If the Mole successfully sabotages them or they fail to complete the task he/she gets the money in hs/her bank. Pretty cool show!

We also have Australian Idol, but this year I am disappointed with the quality of the contestants, I hope they get better!

I watched Survivor Australian Outback years ago. I tried to watch the African version but the whole drinking cow's blood straight from the cow turned me off of the show for several years.

I actually just started watching again during last year's Pulau. I had Back To School night last night so my boyfriend taped it for me. I'm going to sit down tonight with a nice cold beer, put my feet up, and watch the show. I heard 2 former Survivors were coming back which sounds like a neat twist.
