Geez Emmy you think you posted enough. Hee hee. J.D.'s not so bad. Okay so he has a piss poor attitude at times but I don't think INXS would have choosen him if they didn't think he would work well with them. Besides the contract is only a year. As for Marty he is off to bigger and better things.

You people (ESPECIALLY E) love INXS way too much. Despicable.

I actually think they like Reality TV too much, but with a little shock therapy that can fixed,

but, where is all the love for Tears for Fears? HUH?

Another 80's band that hasn't been heard from in awhile, just like INXS

The band that did "Shout".

British 80's band, probably best known for "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". Other known hits besides "Shout" were "Sowing the Seeds of Love", "Head Over Heels", and "Mad World". If you saw "Donnie Darko", it featured the last two, though the second one was a cover of the original Tears For Fears song.

Donnie Darko sucked, it really did.

the one from Animal House?

Rama · « **Reply #134 on:** Sep 27, 2005, 12:38:22 AM »

Ahhhhh.....no. That was a cover of a much older song. Same title, completely different song.

I don't think it sucked. I thought it was just really, really strange... which was neat.. The website kinda sucked though.

J.D. and INXS had an article in the paper yesterday. The writer, aside from calling the band an "it" instead of a "them" which just sounded wrong, immediately clung to the Elvis thing. (I would've used the living out of his car thing myself...) Then she kept harping on about "American Idol". This isn't American freaking Idol. The music is older, considerably less faddier and poppier, the contestants are older, less jailbaitier, and in many cases more experienced, and they can't just be good but they have to be good for INXS. They didn't go out of their way to humilate hopefuls with a giant degrading audition segment. Aside from general unknowns that sing with a voting system hosted by an annoying personality (Seacrest, Brooke Burke) it's different.

I can't speak for regular ol' radio because I don't normally listen to it, however on the music system used in the bookstore, which plays 80's, 90's, and modern I heard "Pretty Vegas" today. Unfortunately, I had customers at the time so I couldn't gauge how good (or bad) it sounded in full-form. I still think his best rendition of it was the very first time he performed it. Small things in the subsequent performances just felt out of place. Like Dave Navarro's nifty little riff. Cool, but distracting.

One other thing of note, I've been listening to a few Tara Slone tracks, both from when she was in Joydrop and her upcoming solo effort. "Beautiful", "My Little Secret", and "We Were Stars" are neat songs. I had observed in Rockstar she had a bit of a twang to her voice, like she was a country western singer or something. This feature is notably lessened in everything non-Rockstar I've heard from her.

I also sat through most of "Soul Life", Suzie McNeil's original. It's really not as bad as I thought it initially was... And MiG. Why the hell didn't he go home earlier? He was energetic and cool, but re-watching some of his stuff it seems more and more he should've gone home way before some of the others. They would've been better off giving Ty some more guidance. At least he had a voice they could've worked with. MiG had the same problems as Deanna and Jessica, where they had a limited range. Not as limited as Daphna Dove. Hearing her stuff again is almost painful, and I liked her when I first saw her.

Wickedly Yours E · « **Reply #138 on:** Oct 01, 2005, 09:11:32 AM »

Agreed. Ty was a lot more versatile than Mig.

B E C K · « **Reply #139 on:** Oct 02, 2005, 08:48:28 PM »

He probably should've taken some personality points from MiG though instead of poking his head up his own ass whenever he was criticized.
