Nah ... JD has the whole package ... he can sing, has stage presence, arranges music fabulously, and writes good music. Now that is a total package.

Wow! Loved MiG's encore with Jordis and Marty joining in. I can understand why they're the top three.

That was awesome! Those are my top three, also. I like Ty a lot but think he would be better as a solo artist.

Jessica was eliminated. Suzy and Deanna were in the bottom three, also. You can watch video of the performances here: rockstar.msn.com/

You're welcome Holly. It is supposed to work in Windows Media Player. It doesn't work for me, though. I think it's because I have Win 98.

Loved Mig's encore performance tonight and thought it was awesome he invited Jordis and Marty to join him. They are definitely the best there. I thought Jessica was ok but after being in bottom 3 four times now it was time for her to go. Wouldn't have put Suzy in the bottom 3 tho, I quite like her too..

I don't think that JD is doing the right thing by constantly ostracizing himself from the other contestants. He definitely says some very cocky things, and it seems to work in his favor with INXS because they praise him a lot. But when an acutal contestant objects to something he did by "standing" up to INXS (as Mig did) and ran the risk of almost jeopardizing his chance, you know that JD is very disliked by all the others. Does JD have talent? Yes Is he one of the best stage performers there? Yes But this last test was a group challenge and JD was only thinking of bettering his own chances. Who's to say he wouldn't do the same if he was chosen by the band? This was definitely a strike against him.

Sure, I agree it was a strike against JD, Kritofer, but I think it showed a level of inflexibility on the part of his team-mates. From the clips it seemed like none of them were even willing to entertain his ideas.

I didn't see that Jeanne, I saw them listen to him, and I heard them disagree with it. And like one of them said, it was too similar to another INXS song and they thought they needed to do something different.

I saw that Jeanne. I think they were just patronizing JD knowing they were going to go with whatever Jordis came up with. Marty was too weak to be the leader and I saw a side of Jordis that made me feel uncomfortable while watching. All that praise may be giving her the big head...

Good shows this week. When I watched Marty singing this week a vision of the pumpkin king from that Halloween Nightmare movie from Tim Burton went thru my head!

Stcroix, I know that a lot of people are pulling for Jordis on here, but I agree with you. There are snippets here and there of her that I've not been impressed by. Maybe it's a little having to do with maturity. I also thought her last two performances were weaker than usual. She does still have quite a good voice though to make it. I'm sure Rockstar has been a good showcase for her to gain exposure.

I was also surprised that Susie was in the bottom three. Her "Losing My Religion" and "Bing it on Home to Me" were better than the originals. Do you think it has anything to do with her remarks to Marty on the opening show when she told him he wasn't taking care of his vocal cords or whatever it was she said? I really dobt that INXS will pick a woman, no matter how good she is.

No, I think people have pretty much forgotten about that. I would guess the reason why Susie finds herself in the bottom three is, while she can sing well, she was no personality--no vibe--about her that makes her stand out. As the numbers dwindle and she's left with personalities like JD and Ty and people who just have that "certain something" like Mig and Jordis, Suzie comes across as more and more boring as time goes on.

Noone watched tonite?? maybe i shouldn't spoil then..but mig continues to win my heart.. I wish the house show was an hour... One question, after people watch... i will try to word without spoiling: The impression that i had about how song choice was going to be done , was different than what the announcer said after the show. Did anyone notice that? Was it just a mistake in the announcements?

Donut, I watched it tonight. I think Mig is in a tough spot (because he really does seem like a good-hearted person)about his song choice. He truly feels for Suzie, yet he still wants to heed INXS's advice. He seemed to have a pretty good talk with Marty. If Mig gives up his original choice of song again to someone else and INXS knows that, he may begin to appear weak in certain areas to them. I hope that Mig does well with his original song on Tuesday. It seemed the house band was shaking his confidence some. I know that others will be performing rock classics; but I would still think putting yourself out there with an original song has to be somewhat seen in a positive light in being willing to take that risk. Mig's wife was only on for a minute too. I thought they would show him introducing her to the rest of the house. Guess not. I thought Jordis's response to tonight's assignment was interesting. She was so confident, and even fairly aggressive, in having her lyrics and ideas being used in the songwriting clinic last week. Tonight she seemed to having trouble with the songwriting task. Was also interesting how Ty was basically orchestrating Deanna's whole performance. From the little bit of the song I heard, I think I'd rather hear Ty perform it instead of her. I still think that she may be the next one leaving....unless Suzie continues to have her meltdown. I can see how her self-esteem has dropped. I thought she did a good job on the Same Cooke song last week and was still bottom 3!

Donut, don't worry about spoiling. Once the show has aired, it's all fair game! Those of us who haven't watched the show yet (I just watched my tape) know not to peek in here unless we want to be spoiled, so spoil away!!! Mig is my favorite, so I hope he does well on Tuesday. I could see that he wanted to help Susie out, but he needs to remember it's a competition and he needs to pull for Mig, not Susie (not that he shouldn't care, which he does). Deanna is my least favorite of those left in the house. She has a good voice, but I think it's more bluesy than rock. Can't wait to see how Tuesday's show turns out!

Ok, after watching the 30 minute "in the mansion" show (which airs here in Canada on Mondays), I am confused. In an interview I heard with Tim Farriss, he said the contestants were chosen because of their songwriting abilites. Yet many of them were struggling with writing. They had to know this challenge was coming. With each passing week I grow to dislike JD more and more. Ugh. Did you guys catch him saying, "This is all working out the way I wanted it to," as if he masterminded the challenge and who would end up doing original songs. Final thought: I get this is a rock 'n roll-themed show, but I am sick of the cliches. There's Suzie: "I was feeling frustrated. So I got drunk!" And you see her totally smashed during the middle of the day. Is this supposed to be cool or something? Call me anal, but seeing Jordis smoking takes her down a notch for me. And seeing JD always smoking makes me dislike him more. Is there some sort of belief that if you're (supposedly) cool and hip you won't get cancer like so many other people who smoke do?

Scorp, I was kind of thinking along the same lines as you, except that I was thinking about how sad it is that all these young people with such beautiful voices and so much talent are smoking. It just made me sad that they are disregarding their health in that way. And yes, it was pretty immature of Susie to try to solve her problems by getting drunk.

I totally agree with you both about the smoking. I thought this as well watching Hell's Kitchen, as a cook your tastebuds are a tool as well. Susie is turning into a basketcase.

I think maybe they were just nervous about thier songwriting abilities, especially after they didn't get much praise of the songs from last week's group writing project. Tonight should be interesting ...
