I think that singing the band's songs makes a huge difference in evaluating the singers. I hadn't liked anything Suzie had done before last night, but then she seemed comfortable with "Never Tear Us Apart". (Wil's "I Need You Tonight", on the other hand, was weak, and would have been weak even if he'd suddenly learned to interact with the audience.)

What I'm wondering is if the bottom three knew which songs they'd be singing in advance, despite INXS saying they didn't know who the bottom three were (during the bit where they pulled JD up). If not, I think they should throw some of the older, less well-known songs at them.

ETA: LOL @ Texannie's comparison above!

I was wondering that too Pepe. I wonder if they knew and how much prep time they had if they did. Of course, you would have to be a special kind of stupid to go on this show and not know every single INXS song forwards and back.

On a more disturbing note, I had a nightmare last night that Wil and Constantine were doing a concert together and I was stuck front row center and there was no means of escape. I just had to stand there while they oogled me and sang off key. I awoke feeling violated.

I didn't even know about this show until yesterday. I kept hearing things that some kid from town made this rockstar show. Anyway my son comes over today and says, did you see JD on tv. I said JD who. He says you know, Fortune, mom you are the reality nut in the family, I thought you would have been voting your brains out.

So I put this show on last night and the first one called is this JD kid and I think he is eliminated. I wouldn't have known who he was except that they put New Glasgow, Canada under his name. So then my daughter laughs at me and says mom, Betty cuts his hair. I say so what, she says, he was there the last time you got you hair done. I say so what, I don't look at kids.( no pervert here). She says mom, you know him he has been to our parties here. I said so, I don't know any of the fungus you guys drag in here.

Anyway now I am obligated to vote for him. I gotta figure out how this works. Do you vote for who you like or dislike.

I wasn't going to say that we knew another person on a reality talent show but oh well, we do. Small town thing.

I really like this show because I love the music and it is more of what I like rather than some of the stuff AI and CI put out.

The only problem I have is that if the band has someone in mind now , they are gonna win now matter how many times they get put up for elimination. Maybe that is a good thing.

I'm not so sure about that Ll. The band knows, they've said as much, that it's the fans who buy the records and the concert tickets. If the fans keep putting the same person up for elimination, I think INXS will take note of it and act accordingly.

oh did they, I just watched the show for the first time last night, well that is good. Thinking about it I guess that makes more sense than what I said. I guess if the band sees that the public isn't crazy over someone then they would let them go. I kept think Simon on AI and how he always picks a fav and sticks with them.

I just am glad we have this show this summer, BB I think may turn into a snorefest.

Well, the thing about this is that if they pick the wrong person, it will directly effect their pocketbooks. With Simon it's not as dircet and he gets his salary no matter who wins.

I know what you mean, I used to be a BB addict, and I can hardly watch it anymore. Either they are doing a worse job of picking hamsters or I am getting harder to entertain. Either way, this show is doing for me what BB can't. Hurray for Rock Star!

HeyLLK !! not another neighbour LOL!!!! I have said it before and I say it again, you come from the music capital of Canada!!! and all the ones on all the shows that you know are all good IMHO.

Actually 4 are from Canada and, of those , 2 are from your province of Nova Scotia. Their Bio's say:

1)J.D. Fortune
Day Job: Musician
Hometown: Oakville, Ontario, Canada (originally from Saltspring, Nova Scotia, Canada)

2) Tara Slone
Day Job: Musician
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Raised primarily in Nova Scotia, Canada

(As well, Suzie is from Toronto and Deanna is originally from Kingston Ont so two are from my province as well :-):-))

You can vote online or by text messaging. Online voting is supposed to be at THIS SITE for a specified time after the end of Tuesday's show (but I tried last week and I could not figure out how to vote. Hopefully someone here can tell us for next week :-))

My fav's so far are Ty, Jordis and Deanna. I love this show (although I don't normally like rock. Go figure

Yeah, Saltsprings is just outside of New Glasgow and he has just recently moved. I don't know the kid at all. Just listening to my two older kids and all the gossip around town. They did a big thig about him in the paper apparently which I also missed lol.

I really only knew one of the people that made these shows and that was Kevin from the first Canadian Idol. The rest I either knew family of or my kids knew them. Just knew a connection. It is odd how may people from this area make it.
So far George Canyon, Kevin Murdock, JD Fortune, Dianlyse was here at a party for the Cuban kids, and Ashley's friend knows the guys who came second in the First CI. Sounds like I am making up whoppers.

Never heard of the Slone girl.

This is a small place with not a lot of opportunities so unfortunately we lose a lot of our youth to bigger areas where the jobs are.

Ok I forgot to add and Jan don't laugh at me but from this years CI My sister knows Casey LeBlancs family and friends and my husband works with the uncle of that Daryll kid. Seems his grandfather moved away years ago and Daryll's moms side of the family still lives around here. I just found this out last week.

Doesn't mean I know them, I don't have a clue who they are but it is fun finding connections. It is a small world.

There is no doubt, LLK, that in the world of Canadian music on TV, it is
"the six degrees of LLK!!"

ETA: in fairness of course, we should let the other posters know that Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are home to some of the finest musicians & singers in Canada - it is that celtic background I would guess .

Lol Jan, 6 degrees of LLk, I like that. Make room for me on that limb Twinkie, I agree with you. And Alan Doyle, yummy.

I am trying to figure this show out. Is it on twice a week like AI or did I read that it is on 3 times? Who do you vote for , the ones you like or dislike? Do they all sing?

LLK apparently on Mondays, you see them in the mansion just living and working together; on Tuesday they all perform solo (with a band) in front of an audience, the INXS band members and Dave N.; on Wed, one is eliminated

so yes, three times a week (much like BB :-))

You vote for your favourite for an hour or so after the broadcast on TUESDAY. The THREE with the least amount of votes are then called to the stage to perform on Wed. The bandmembers choose the eliminated one from one of those three only.

Thanks for posting the link for Mocha, Jan. Somehow thinking about the kind of music Mocha likes I doubt she'd be a fan of this group but I KNOW she will appreciate some of his finer attributes.

I come in here and what do I see? lol

Lucky LLK that you missed JD the first night, He looked like he was having a seizure on stage with his frenetic movements, very weird.

We'll have to get Scorpiomoon in on this, she'll pick the winner.

Yes yes Wink knows me too well. I actually like some rock and country. He does need to shave that piece of hair under his lip though. I do like his eyes.
