Rock Star-INXS

Now that its down to the final three, Mig, JD and Marty..
Mig is a pretty boy, with no soul
JD is as fake as the flowers in a greasy spoon diner
Marty..has it all. He writes, he plays guitar, and he looks so damn cool as a singer.
I hope Marty wins

Is JD the short haired guy with the tattoo on his neck. I think he is a bit over-the-top with the stage presence. I mean it is a little bit too much. He can't actually be feeling the way he moves. That ruins it for me. Otherwise he is a strong singer.....if you like INXS.

I'm rooting for Marty too. I wanted either Marty or Ty to win ....

there are rumours going around that Mig is a mole tho, that he actually has been already picked to be the winner from the beginning. I hope that's not true.

MARTY SANG HIS ASS OFF ON "CREEP" THIS WEEK....

Mig is an incredibly nice guy, but too nice to be a compelling frontman.

J.D. is an insufferable little prick with a limited vocal range, but the chicks dig him and he would bring an edge to the group.

As for Marty: again a great guy, but they don't need his guitar, his writing style doesn't mesh with theirs (and they don't need another writer - Andrew can handle that on his own) and it looks to me like he's starting to lose his hair. He also seems determined to make the band into something they're not (and I don't believe it will win them a younger audience).

I don't understand why Inxs did not challenge Marty when they picked songs and
instead gave him "Creep" they already know he can do that alt. scream shit!!
and a lot of INXS tunes are sort of funky pop,personally I don't think he is a
fan of that style,nor can he sing it,that makes Mig and JD in a dead heat.

Marty is the best songwriter of the bunch, and his songs go with the music, not that anybody should care.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

I'm not 100% sure i buy into Marty as the "best writer" thing. I think "Trees" lyrically is real cheesy. JD on the other hand seems to thrive on writing his own tunes and "Pretty Vegas" has the potential to be a hit and lyrically is a lot better than "Trees". When they had the writing clinic and JD left to do his own thing and Mary sided with Jordis (which backfired on them), that pretty much shows me that he hasn't yet evolved as a writer. As we all know, JD snuck one buy the others in that clinic. Should be good next week and honestly, I've never seen a show where all competitors had real talent which is truly amazing. I'm sure we'll see more than a few of them front other bands in the future. I really don't think they'll be any loosers in this competition.

The WORST part is that JD has the look, the moves, the attitude, the vocals and I love Pretty Vegas. I just don't like him and his kiss ass suck up bulls*@t. Its kinda like hatin Beyonce but diggin Destiny's Child.

G Marty.

I like all 3 that are left. Marty is my favourite, but I can't really see him with INXS. I see JD or Mig with them more than Marty.

Oh well, we'll see who they pick next week.

Yes, it's lyrically a lot better than "Trees", but that's not saying much. "Pretty Vegas" is a bland tune with crap lyrics, as well.

I could not agree more!

I can't stand hearing JD speak...so full of himself but he has the 'rock star' thing down. And 'Pretty Vegas' is such a good pop tune....so good I've been singing it in my head all week....there's a potential INXS hit there....

...but I love me some Marty too.

Couple weeks ago I predicted Mig would take the cake but he seems to have lost something in the last couple weeks...he's too soft.

peace
Every minute of last night is on my face today....

i think JD is most suited for INXS and i am proud that he is from Atlantic Canada and doing so well career wise...i don't personally like his personna though and he isn't the best singer left in the remainding 3.

Mig has a good chance but again i don't personally dig his voice.

i prefer Marty but don't think he's best suited for the band.

JD takes it! hmph! I'm sure he'll do fine. He does seem to fit, even though he was not my fave.

That last 'Easy' number was not bad.

MUCH better than R U the Girl barf

Actually, in hindsight, that House Band tore it up!!!! Screw INXS. I'd be wanting to go sing with them maybe instead!!!!!

(Are they an actual group that might release something?)

As much as I don't like Jerk Dog, Our Band INXS made the right pick. Of the contestants, he's the only one with a hope in hell of resuscitating their career (not that I think that will happen).

I could only stand about 5 minutes of this show and it is as plastic/fake of a charade as it gets. There should be laws protecting the songs these people are using to protect them from being butchered, it makes me want to barf

The best thing INXS could do now is now longer be the band INXS because this is disrespectful to the music that has been made by a great band.

I/m not really an INXS fan and I haven't watched the show but I feel like this really disrespects Michael Hutchence. They're basically trying to resuscitate their careers on the wings of his death. If they had just privately looked for a new singer that's one thing, but making a whole contest of it....it just makes them look like a bunch of publicity whores. Same thing with the whole TLC reality show.

The premise of this show was a good one but this was one of the worst shows on TV. None of these people are good singers! American Idol has had better talent nod
