I only make this topic because I see no mention of it. Is anyone else watching it? I'm in love with this show. It's only flaw is Brooke Burke, who I find heinously annoying. Jordis is my favorite right now, but Ty and JD Fortune are great, too. And Suzie's hawt, as well as Daphna and Tara. INXS and Dave Narravo, well no words can be said. I'm gonna see if I can copy the music off of my copies of the episodes myself, instead of buying them. I don't think they'll re-air the first one tho', and I really wanted Jordis' version of Baba O'Reilly. Also, I'm glad Wil's gone. He was kinda creepy. He was getting slobberies on the mic or somethin', man.... And that chick, Dana, who left the first night.... weird.

I've been following it a bit, and they got some good singers on there. That Wil guy DESERVED to be the first guy off....ANd the woman who sang "SHould I stay or should I go"...that one was pretty good, and the guy with the hat, sang either first or second....Can't remember names just yet.

Marty, with the blonde hair and the raspy voice?

Your moves are so raw. I just had to let you know.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #6 on:** Jul 16, 2005, 09:51:41 AM »

Might've been Marty....He had the hat!

Bah! I was looking forward to it tonight and the station magically became soundless, thus I had the read the entire thing through closed captioning. At least now I know how annoying it'll be when I finally go deaf.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #8 on:** Jul 19, 2005, 12:58:48 AM »

Here's it in brief:
Song list includes: "Roxanne" "Walk this Way", "Paranoid", "Sweet Home Alabama", plus more. Mig has to do Walk This Way. Deanna doesn't feel her song...which is like "I hate me for Loving You" Or something. Brandon has the fashion sense of Daniel Boone, Daphna's got a Drew Carey Mimi Mascara thing going, and that one chick who's Hair reminds me of The Predator isn't much into Fashion.

I could gleam all of that, but it was annoying to have to read it. I watch Rockstar:INXS because I love rock music. Hearing is crucial.

And that chick's name is Jordis. My Tai Chi teacher had hair like that. Somewhere between the end of the Fall semester and the beginning of the Spring semester, she got tired of it and lopped them off. She had had them for like seven years or somethin'.

B E C K · « **Reply #10 on:** Jul 19, 2005, 01:38:32 AM »

And I hope Deanna tanks with her song choice. Don't think she'll get voted out if she does though. She has a great voice but not for INXS.

As for who goes home, I'm thinking Tara might. She just sounds too country in everything she sings. I don't see people voting differently. Watch it be Tara and Suzie, joined by Brandon. He's the one doin' "Sweet Home Alabama", right? And dressed that like I'm not sure how well it bodes. Unless MiG tanks "Walk This Way". But MiG's the Aussie so I don't want him to go.

And that JD Fortune is really beginning to grow on me.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #11 on:** Jul 19, 2005, 08:29:49 AM »

It's fucking Sweet Home Alabama. EVERYBODY Loves that fucking song! Anyone in this INXS crew can sing it and if they get put in the bottom three, I'll be damn near floored. ..How the fuck can you TANK on "Sweet Home Alabama"? And if Brandon's the one singing it, I admit his style choice is.....way too damn retro to put it mildly.

B E C K · « **Reply #12 on:** Jul 19, 2005, 10:29:30 PM »

Well he did a lot better than Neal and the heinous murder of "Summer of '69". What the hell was that? It appears that guy can't do melody at all. He's definetely gonna have to fight to live next show. Jessica didn't follow direction at all (she sounded the same as ever) and Deanna mauled a perfectly good REM song (but I think we all expected that from the previous show). So those are my bottom three.

JD, MiG, and Jordis rocked it.
Ty WAS too theatric but I love him anyway. I can see why INXS would be concerned. With someone like Ty fronting the band, it would be incredibly easy to forget the rest of them were there.
Daphna, Heather, and Tara were great.
Marty and Suzie were okay. So was Brandon, but he was better than those two. Suzie really needed a much better song choice. If she's back in the bottom three this week, I won't be surprised.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #13 on:** Jul 20, 2005, 08:46:49 AM »

Jordis was fucking awesome. Suzie did alright too, I liked Roxanne. And Marty, as always, was sweet too.
Also, did you notice that almost EVERYONE was acknowledging the house band more?

Guest · « **Reply #14 on:** Jul 24, 2005, 09:57:08 PM »

Yeah, bet they were thinkin' "these damn whores".

I managed to make myself a CD of music from the show, though the quality is a bit questionable. As far as software goes, it's free stuff, so I may have to look into something to refine sound in the future. Kinda sounds like when I used to record songs from the radio onto tape.

Not that most of the ppl on the show can't sing, but I found I didn't want anything Brandon, Deanna, Heather, or Jessica did. (And certainly not Wil, peeeee-yew!) I really wished they had re-aired that first episode so I could've snagged some more music. Dammit.

>_> If you can get some higher quality stuff lemme know. And that one guy that dissed on the other guys is a dick, even if he does do original arrangements.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #16 on:** Jul 26, 2005, 09:18:12 AM »

Last nights ep was good. J.D's a dick, and If he attempts to sing that horrid "Hip Hop" rearrangement of "We are the CHampions"......That's grounds for murder right there.

B E C K · « **Reply #17 on:** Jul 26, 2005, 10:42:37 PM »

I don't think he was really dissin' them. He was just trying to show his love of INXS and kiss a little ass, but worded it wrong in the process. He seems a little neurotic and scatterbrained, but not malicious.

Anyway, what the hell was up with people tonight? Jordis, Suzie, and Ty were the only ones that gave solid performances. MiG was all right. Can't go wrong with a little strippage either. JD mangled Queen, Brandon squished Squeeze, and Daphna slaughtered the Clash. On "Rock the Casbah", no less! My favoritest Clash song! I had to slap Combat Rock into my CD player and listen to it continously just to get the bad taste out of my ears. Heather and Marty did loads of weird mumbling, which was sad because in the stronger parts of their respective songs, they had loads of energy. Tara was a little boring and little too country. Deanna and Jessica missed notes and were just blah. Not a good week. I don't particularly want any of these songs. Maybe Ty's, I guess. And "I'm sick", "It's my sister"...? Nobody wants your excuses, just sing dammit.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #18 on:** Jul 27, 2005, 09:30:21 AM »

JD sucks muchly. It'll be JD, Tara, and possibly Suzie bottom three this week, and I totally think they should kick JD out. Excuses excuses...Guy's getting more pathetic every week.

When I read that I had this image of Nuri on the street corner with a coat full of illegal Rockstar bootlegs going "What you need? What you need? I got it all hommie, whatever you need to get your groove on." And Emmy is the poor addict that needs something with more kick.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #20 on:** Jul 27, 2005, 05:42:31 PM »

o_o you scare me a bit.

B E C K · « **Reply #21 on:** Jul 27, 2005, 09:15:50 PM »

Heather, Daphna, and Jessica in the bottom three, and frankly they should've saved themselves the trouble and booted all three of them out instead of just Heather and Daphna. Jessica was not much stronger than the other two. A double whammy though! Not really shocking anymore with some other shows having done this sort of thing before.

I don't see how JD is sucking more each week. He was very strange in his first performance and in this week's but "California Dreaming" and "One Hand In My Pocket" really rocked. In fact, CD got him an encore. I do think his days may be numbered if he (and Brandon) turn out to have the same problem as Neal and Daphna, where they sing in one key. And I also think Tara, Deanna, and Jessica are right next to the chopping block. Maybe the next clinic will help them out, since they said it was going to be on the voice. The top contenders right now are Jordis, Ty, and MiG, with Marty and Suzie at their heels.

B E C K · « **Reply #22 on:** Jul 27, 2005, 09:16:39 PM »

And Marty sounded MUCH MUCH better in his encore performance.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #24 on:** Jul 28, 2005, 09:26:46 AM »

I dunno, JD's attitude just is annoying me, and his scatterbrain-ness.
Marty, Mig, Jordis, Ty. Final four, my prediction.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #25 on:** Aug 03, 2005, 12:17:33 AM »

This week, two words:
Jordis Wins.

B E C K · « **Reply #26 on:** Aug 05, 2005, 04:45:16 PM »

Tara's performance on Tues. told us right away she was going home. She made "Message in a Bottle" so blah. You could hear the back-up vocals better than hers at times. And then when she performed Beautiful Girl, I don't think she was completely there.

Jessica really pulled a nice performance, but I don't see her keeping it up. Same for Deanna.

Poor Ty not knowing that song. INXS got on him about it and I'm like "bleh, I don't know it either, jerkholes". They're lucky I've even heard of the Foo Fighters. I think Ty's theatrical feel is a bit of a problem. Hmmm....

What the hell did JD do to "the Letter"? They loved it. I thought it came out mangled. JD is definetely the "evil" one of the bunch, manipulating Suzie that way. Was it really necessary? Nope.

I think Jordis can sing just about anything. She's the only one I voted for this past week and so far, she's the only one who's been consistently good from the very beginning.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #27 on:** Aug 05, 2005, 08:34:49 PM »

Yah. I think INXS'll be looking at consistancy more than "One Hit wonders". Jordis has been the one to consistantly be awesome. Ty's theatric's bug me a bit...JD....If JD somehow ends up in the bottom two, I Think INXS'll kick'em out cause of his attitude. Would you want to work with a scatterbrain like that 2 hours a night +?

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #28 on:** Aug 05, 2005, 08:35:28 PM »

I loved "The Man who Sold the world", too.

Interesting article. Anti-Rockstar, but I agree with all of the cons of the show.

Monday show: I don't appreciate it just being zapped away from me. I don't remember anything about catching the show on VH1 on Sundays being advertised with Wed.'s show or the website, and VH1's apparent offering of it is no where to be found on my program guide (with the Monday showing replaced by another helping of Two and A Half Gay Ass Men). Even the local TV listings that come with the paper show it on Monday and nothing on Sunday. So no one can agree on anything or somethin'. Will I live w/o it? Yes. Is it annoying regardless? Yes. They only got 3 million viewers before and now I'm certain they've lost over half of them. If you want to kill something fast, just jumble it around so no one can freaking watch it.
