Mmmm. This is true, and Suzie is really starting to step up.

Is she? Will she step up for all of us?

And this has been another gay post by Merla.

Jordis in the bottom three. Oooh, I guess 'Imagine' wasn't riveting enough to make people forget last week. One thing that bothered me about the elimination show, besides the fact that they've apparently bloated to an entire hour now, is that INXS was right. The bottom three gave lack-luster performances. It's like all three of them checked out from this competition. I think all three of them were getting a bit arrogant... like they don't have to try and even be a part of any band.

And of course Ty's gotta flash the race card before he leaves. Like I didn't expect that. What-EVA. Maybe if his ass had given it his all and he dropped some of the gospel/soul crap when he saw it wasn't doing him any favors, he'd still be on show. If INXS wanted soul, they would've kept Deanna, the end. INXS is moving towards soul? I don't think so. And messing up lyrics, INXS lyrics no less, pleads no one's case.

Next week's prediction, J.D permenantly checks out and moves back into the box he was living in before the show. Where the hell is the J.D. that gave us "California Dreaming" and "One Hand in my Pocket"? He dead! He dead! I think Jordis and J.D. may continue the decline, with either Suzie or Marty joining them in the next bottom three. MiG seems to be the golden child right now.

JD's a bitch. He made Suzie Cry.

B E C K · « **Reply #65 on:** Sep 01, 2005, 09:54:34 AM »

Yeah, I think he's losing some votes next week solely on that.

Merla · « **Reply #66 on:** Sep 02, 2005, 09:23:08 AM »

J.D. is a dick. Were does all the arrogance come from? He seems to have lost all that energy and passion he put into past performances. He has been doing those werid movements that INXS told him to lose. Oh a sick note I told Nuri that I bet he does werid things in bed.

I am also reminded that Nuri told me that J.D. reminds her of a Beaver. And he does!!

Replace the mic with a small log of wood. Result = hilarity.

I had a small Rockstar mini-marathon today. Mostly Suzie's recent stuff along with Jessica's "Blister in the Sun" and Tara's "Message in a Bottle". I really miss hearing Tara's voice.

BAH! It's all the week one performances with two bonus tracks. They should've taken the songs that garnered top votes and released those first, not just add "The Man Who Sold the World" and "Baby, I Love Your Way". Who the hell wants Will Seabrook and Dana Robbins wasting precious disc space? Where the fuck's "Heart Shaped Box"? "Somebody Told Me"? "California Dreaming"? "Start Me Up"? I still might buy this, if only for a few of the week one perfomances that I really liked. This better be a Vol. 1 disc or something....

I DESIRE MORE OF MARTY. His rendition of Hit Me Baby One More Time was Freakin' Awesome dammit. He turned a crappy pop song into ahardcore, masochistic ROCK SONG!

B E C K · « **Reply #70 on:** Sep 03, 2005, 08:45:48 PM »

I haven't had time to make cuts of my own so I'm dl'ing a few songs. Each one has Brooke Burke's voice on it when she announces the singer. WHY would anyone keep that? I wonder if they sell it that way or the ones I'm getting are made by other people? I can cut it off anyway, but I'm just wondering.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #71 on:** Sep 07, 2005, 08:03:19 AM »

Marty for the win.

B E C K · « **Reply #72 on:** Sep 07, 2005, 10:34:42 PM »

Random thoughts:

Suzie looked hawt.
J.D.'s original ROCKED.
MiG's originals suck. Both of them. Sorry MiG.
"Trees" is very catchy.
Jordis deserved to go home. Listen to her first perfomances, then these latest ones. After "Dream On", she packed it in.

On the voting site, there seemed to be an indication they may have them perform more originals. If this is the case, MiG or Suzie are going home. I said to Merla during the performance show when MiG opened his shirt, "Nope, he's not going in the bottom three." MiG's fans saved him this week (as Jordis' did for her one week), but another week of suckage is gonna hurt him. My advice to MiG and Suzie, suck up to J.D. and get some help on your songs!

JD Fortune. The JD stands for "Just Dick". I didn't like his song much at all....Though I did like Marty's version of Everlong. I wonder if Ty watched that while he was at HOME...

Just Dick Fortune would be an awesome pr0n star name.

Well, he never did say what the JD stood for.... But yeah, Merla was digging "Trees" more.

"'Trees' should've gotten the encore."
"Then you should've voted. I voted three times for 'Pretty Vegas'. =P"

I liked "Trees", too but I still liked JD's better. (They needed to give him a megaphone though.) When I tried making MP3's my Pretty Vegas one came out tons better than the Trees one. But a lot of other people appear to have made their own of "Trees", so I think I'll save myself the trouble and use one of theirs'.

And my DVR thingy! I love that thing don't get me wrong, but there's all kinds of fixes that can stand to be done to it. Though I'm sure it's not the satellite company's fault, CBS has Rockstar as a half-hour show this past Wed., cutting it off halfway through (much to my horror). Then VH1 had all three shows listed from 4:00 - 6:00, with a half-hour house show, the perfomance show, and a half-hour elimination (which it was not, of course). But instead, they appear to have started the house show @ 3:30, making the performance start at 4:00 and end, according to the guide used to record, a half hour within itself! The result, I had no way to record the elimination program in it's entirety! I have one half-hour from CBS and the other half hour from VH1, which I obtained by choosing to record the half-hour elimination show (of which, if I lost you, doesn't exist because the elimination show is now an hour) in my guide! WHEW! Since this isn't the first time VH1/MTV/NICK and it's associated network (VIACOM?) have jerked me around schedule wise, I blame them entirely for this. :angry:

Anyway, I've constructed a Suzie McNeil playlist:

Start Me Up
Bohemian Rhapsody
Losing My Religion
Bitter Tears
Roxanne
Never Tear Us Apart

Half of those being made by myself. I'll probably add "By My Side", and you can imagine my disappointment when Jerk-XS had Suzie perform "Never Tear Us Apart" again! I wanted something new for my list, bitches!

Anyway, E, you dl anything? "Man Who Sold the World" and "Baby I Love Your Way" seem to be real popular. I have the former but I passed on the latter. I liked Peter Frampton and Will to Power better.

I wish I could DL things, but DLing MP3's onto this computer is fruitless and troublesome. I'm on 56k so DLing takes a while, and the soundcard on this thing is busted anyway. I would DEFINITELY DL Man Who Sold the World. Favorite Jordis-sung Song EVER.
I could never DL anything of Marty's cause I'd want to SEE Him while he's singing it. That crazy Maestro-esque thing he does is just freakin' awesome.

I'm on a wee dial-up, too. Depending on how much I attempt to dl, I do everything from browse while I do so to going off and watching tv because my computer can't find the memory to function.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #81 on:** Sep 12, 2005, 07:40:59 AM »

Ahhhh but This computer is shared with everyone....And my Older brother, who is a much bigger Dick than JD, Ends up using this damn thing for nigh on 6+ hours straight.
I hate him so.

B E C K · « **Reply #82 on:** Sep 12, 2005, 10:29:36 PM »

I don't suppose he's gracious enough to let you dl a song or two while he surfs....

What I garnered from Sunday/Monday's episode:

INXS likes JD, but at the same time, they'll still suspicious of him. He did good at the interview, but didn't quell their doubts that he won't stir up trouble with the band. And Pretty Vegas by *Andrew Farris* and J.D. Fortune? What did he do to the song?

INXS wasn't too impressed with MiG. It's not that they don't like him but he's a little too vanilla. But if he can present edge with Paint It, Black and quit trying to put them to sleep or make them cry with sappy-ass ballads, he could easily jump to their first choice. I don't think he can really pull off the INXS songs yet. Once he actually has to perform one, I see him not doing so well.

They're impressed but iffy with Marty. Andrew Farris didn't really appreciate Marty more or less giving them career guidance. "This is where you should go... This is what you should do..." So he's bossy and he still screams a little too much. Like J.D., one of Marty's song's is his original, "Trees".

INXS really likes Suzie. She has a powerful voice, she has tenacity, she's hawt, and she's done justice over and over again with their music, which is a big selling point for them. She more or less tanked the interview though. I think nerves got the best of her. She needed to show a little more of the Suzie that dives her mouth head first into an asscake. Instead she crossed her arms and looked a bit withdrawn. But like one of the group said, when it comes to interviews and handling the media, maybe all she needs is a little guidance and work. She seems to be fine when being interviewed in various segments of the show. I wish we had seen her song selections.

Suzie was awesome tonight. I really hope she gets the number 1 spot, but I think it'll be either Marty or J.D. Judging by tonight, MiG should go home. He did Seal great but the Stones were more or less slaughtered. I would've pegged him to be the one definetely going home but then he took his top off.... And that's saved him before. Hmmmm.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #86 on:** Sep 14, 2005, 08:48:21 AM »

I'll bet you a burned copy of all the best songs of this competition that Marty wins it all! ADMIT IT!

B E C K · « **Reply #87 on:** Sep 15, 2005, 08:16:27 AM »

I still think it might be J.D. Especially since Kirk's nearly creaming his pants over Pretty Vegas.

I'm thinking maybe playing the same originals for Marty and J.D. again was a bad idea. It didn't make the playing field even for Suzie and MiG, who were gonna be bottom two no matter what they did. They should've all done covers across the board.

Poor Suzie. =( That sucked. I woke up this morning still bummed out about it. They said it themselves when they called her the best vocalist, so they get rid of her? For Marty the screamer, J.D. the mumbler, and MiG the squealer? (And he does squeal. I like him, but he squeals!) Half of all the votes MiG has ever gotten were earned either by him tearing his clothes off or just being a nice guy, let's admit it.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #88 on:** Sep 15, 2005, 09:17:48 AM »

It made me sad too. I swear INXS was Rigging the votes last night with the song selection they gave'em. TWO...TWO Originals? I fuckin' Hate Pretty Vegas now. JD did a horrible job on By My Side, Suzie sang it a few weeks back and it was friggin' Sweet, dammit. I figure the reason she got booted was the Six Time Bottom Three shtick, but it still seems kind of silly how they stacked the votes.

...And JD copied Marty when he did Pretty Vegas Acoustic. ...He danced and sung like it was being played electric though, the bastard.

....So...Nuri....Feel like maybe hookin' a board goer up with some o' that Sweet Sweet Music?

B E C K · « **Reply #89 on:** Sep 15, 2005, 11:06:15 AM »

What did you want?

But yeah, I was fan of Pretty Vegas the first time it was performed. It absolutely wowwed me and I made an MP3, repeating it over and over agian. But I watch the show to see different things. Four times on the show was overkill. Not to mention the song was different each time. I fast-forwarded through the encores. Your songs are old, boys. What I didn't realize was that "Pretty Vegas" is apparently the Andrew Farris music they were told to compose lyrics to as a group, thus birthing the lovably heinous "Stop, Go". If I still have the episode where they composed the song, I'll double-chell later but I usually delete anything w/o a song. But if that's so, does that mean he cheated? No one else to my knowledge got to borrow an INXS member to make a song.

At least there's two Joydrop CDs out there to quell my Tara Slone fix. I'll only be really miffed about the Suzie elimination if I can't my grubby paws on any more of her music. She'll be in an MSN chat today, which SUCKS because it starts when I clock in at work! =(
