FUCKTARDS. I hate when they do stuff like that.

Why the hell is Suzie doomed to be in the bottom three? I love Jordis, but last night she bored the crap out of me. She completely made that song pop instead of rock. Ty completely raped that Rod Stewart song. J.D. wasn't sounding too hot either. Suzie was totally in the top three for the past two weeks and she's being punished by the already formed fanbases for the other singers.

Merla · « **Reply #32 on:** Aug 19, 2005, 02:28:03 PM »

I was really pulling for J.D. in the begining. His attitude really sucks though. Now I am rooting for Mig. I really liked his rendition of "Baby I Love Your Way". He is also the token hispanic (Okay so he doesn't look it but who cares?). Plus he is HAWT!

JD's attitude will keep him from winning, even if he's now the worst singer there now that Jessica got booted. He's nowhere near the level of Jordiss, Mig, or Marty. Even if by some act of God he gets into the last three? I highly Doubt INXS, who probably have taken his attitude into account, will want to work with the dick. He's too much out for himself, and he's forgetting he's joining a BAND. This Ain't American Idol, it's not just about you.

Unless INXS really wants a hit. JD has had some duds but he can also work teh song magic, as they've all seen. That not being a team player thing though, yeah, it'll probably kill the little guy.

My prediction for the coming week is Ty, Deanna, and Suzie (or JD) in the bottom three, with Ty getting the boot to the ass. It's INXS, not CATS or RENT. You don't get to descend onto the stage wearing a silver cape.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #35 on:** Aug 22, 2005, 08:05:56 AM »

I'll make a bet with you that Jordiss wins it all.

Guest · « **Reply #36 on:** Aug 22, 2005, 12:07:38 PM »

NO! NO! NO! I like Jordis but she is not right for their band, INXS!

B E C K · « **Reply #37 on:** Aug 22, 2005, 12:25:37 PM »

I'm not really a betting person, however I will say that despite all of her talent, I don't think Jordis will win. I thought from the first few weeks that she would but I wasn't too impressed with her last two performances and I don't think INXS was either.

If I have to peg someone to win, I'll say Marty.

EDIT: Scratch that. He's a bit of a queen now that I think about it. There's no way they would get along off the stage. Maybe Suzie. They seem to like her, given that in the elimination, they simply wanted her to showcase her vocals and never hinted once that she would actually be going home.

You guys must really like this show if it's gotten to three pages and you're still on topic.

Merla · « **Reply #39 on:** Aug 23, 2005, 02:20:48 PM »

I love the show. I had my reservation in the begining thinking oh not another singing reality show but now I am hooked. I enjoy watching the performances. Granted I don't like a couple of them and I think most of them are wrong for INXS, but I believe all seven that are left are very talented. My money is on MIg and Marty to be left standing.

Yup. It's one singing show I can actually stand, even if Dave Navarro and Brooke Burke are a couple of cheesy douches.

Anyway, I really hope Suzie doesn't end up in the bottom three again. While I don't have a bottom three, I have a top three: Suzie, J.D. and Deanna. Ty was more theater than he ever was, MiG's song wasn't that good, Marty was all weird onstage, and Jordis had checked out on that perfomance. The powet of editing is displayed as the poor decision was made to cut to the backup singers and then to Ty during the "appropriate" moments in Proud Mary. Would've work in a comedy starring Whoopi Goldberg, but just looked corny here. And airing that thing about Jordis being nervous made it even worse for her when she was on stage.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #41 on:** Aug 24, 2005, 07:31:32 AM »

Yeah, Rare miss for Jordiss this week, but I don't think it'll be enough to send'er home just yet.

Merla · « **Reply #42 on:** Aug 24, 2005, 08:28:19 AM »

My top three are Suzie, J.D., and Mig (I didn't care for his song though).
My bottom are Jordis, Ty, and Deanna. Marty was strange last night. In fact he was scaring me. I think Ty should go home but I wouldn't mind seeing Deanna go home was well. Ty performance was too theatric for INXS, at times it seemed cheesy. Deanna had a good performance. However, her original song was forgetable and she was doing some werid movements on stage. I don't think either Ty or Deanna are what INXS needs. Jordis had a bad night but I don't think she will be going home this week. I really hope Suzie is not in the bottom three. She does not belong there. Her problem is that she failed to develop a fan base. In the first show she forgot her lyrics and later was portrayed in a negative light when comments she made to Neal about his voice were aired. She would be good for INXS but with their decline they really need someone the people love.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #43 on:** Aug 25, 2005, 08:57:26 AM »

Those are good points.

B E C K · « **Reply #44 on:** Aug 25, 2005, 12:00:33 PM »

Jordis could've ripped her own skin off and revealed herself as Satan and I still don't think she would've been in the bottom three.

What I can't believe is that the show was an hour long. WHY? If I had actually been home and watching it live, I would've been squirming the entire time. There's nothing worse than when they pad a show to fit a time slot. Luckily it was a recording and I fast-forwarded through like thirty-five minutes of it.

I think in the performance of INXS songs Deanna > Ty by a mile, but I'm guessing INXS already had decided that Deanna didn't suit their style. And Marty's getting weirder and weirder!

I already corrected you at home but it was Marty not Neal. And I think Suzie is starting to grow on people. Otherwise, she would've been in the bottom three at some point and she was the only one that wasn't. Being "Queen of the Bottom Three" has given her a lot more face time and character, and if anything is making her more endearing. You know how people love the underdog....

B E C K · « **Reply #45 on:** Aug 25, 2005, 12:01:37 PM »

Or maybe my 20+ votes for her last night actually helped.

Who exactly is INXS and why have I never heard of them before?

Faye Valentino · « **Reply #47 on:** Aug 25, 2005, 10:21:21 PM »

I only heard of them from I love the 80s.

Rama · « **Reply #48 on:** Aug 25, 2005, 10:21:25 PM »

From the 80s. They had hits like "Sucide Blond", "New Senesation", "Devil Inside" , and "Need you tonight." Their old lead singer killed himself, hence the search for a new one.

I'm afraid this show will be the height of the "New" INXS. I doubt we will ever hear from them again after this show. And I also have a gut feeling they will not pick a woman as their lead singer, but I've never seen the show because I try to avoid Reality TV so I don't really know to much about HOW they choose the winner.

An Australian rock band of six (three of them brothers) that peaked with international stardom in the mid-80's and then spent the following decade on a steady way down before Michael Hutchence, their lead singer, took his own life in the late nineties. They then spent the next seven or so years with no lead singer, who knows what they were doing in the meantime. As for why you've never heard of them..., well we can't hear of everybody. You've most certainly have heard at least one their songs, even if you didn't know who you were listening to.

Anyway, I'm still pegging Ty on going home next. Unless Suzie's botches "Bohemian Rhapsody" and I'm reeeally hoping she doesn't, 'cause I would love a nice Suzie McNeil cover of that song to go with "Losin' My Religion" and "Start Me Up".... I'm liking the idea of Suzie McNeil fronted INXS more and more all the sudden. The front runner through is appearing to be MiG.

No you haven't. Shut up.

I bet she has....I'm sure at least one of those song has a super dance club remix.

B E C K · « **Reply #53 on:** Aug 29, 2005, 09:52:04 PM »

Be quiet! You might encourage Merla to go find one. Take "We Built This City", cut out everything besides Starship singing "we built this city" and add a 'funky' pulsating dance groove. This, sir, is my daily pain.

Jesus FUCKING Christ.

N E WAY....

Ty's going home. It's about time for him to go home now. He's been giving off a serious gospel vibe these past few performances. I think his milk's expired.
