I agree that Ty will probably get the encore tomorrow. Maybe Marty possibly, but he's already done one before. Don't think Ty has yet, has he?

Marty sounds like a nice guy. I heard him on a radio station here this morning. The DJ was asking him how much he'd appraise the mansion at that he's staying in. I guess appraisal is his day-job. He said about $20 million. She asked if they've trashed it at all. He laughed and said a couple of times. She also asked if anyone's been hooking up in there. He said no, because all of the women are already taken. Lots of sexual tension he said...but he's one of the only single ones there.

Wow. Jordis was totally off her game. She knew it too. I wonder why? Oh well, it's not like they'll bounce her for a bad night.

MiG and Marty were awesome-- Though it is a little pet peeve of mine for an American guy to sing with what sounds like a British accent, as Marty seemed to do, it was great! I agree, Jordis was way off and I didn't think it was fair that no one criticized her for not feeling the song, "Layla" is pretty desperate- sounding and she was singing it like it was a happy song. But I agree that she is always doing something different and who cares if it wasn't her best? I'm sorry Brandon copped out and did a Southern- rock type thing tonight. I thought last week's performance was actually good and he shouldn't have been scared by last week's bottom 3.... Everyone was good last week (well, I still didn't think Tara and Deanna were great, but then...), not everyone can escape the bottom 3! I didn't get to see all of JD and Jessica. I saw the very beginning of JD and he seemed a little off....I saw the end of Jessica's performance, I feel bad that she felt she felt the song, but it seemed like she interpreted the song as quiet depression with her floppy droning and posing-- When you know she has so much energy. I missed the 4-hour mark! You're right, Sthncmft, I'm on the west coast! Great, I was going to vote for Jessica. I hope if she's in the bottom 3, she bounces back with another good INXS performance. I didn't think Suzie's performance was that different from the original arrangement and it wasn't how JD suggested she arrange it-- I thought it was great but thought that after hearing how radical her arrangement would be, that INXS would have made some comment on how traditional it actually was. Yes, no one had a mandolin but it still sounded pretty much the same! Sthncmft, I agree that if you don't know INXS, this show is a total "so what". I know someone who loves all reality TV yet won't watch this show because of (it seems) her distaste for how Michael died. She probably hadn't heard of INXS until Michael died and it skewed how she would approach a show about replacing him! Unfortunate. Then I know someone else who apparently never really heard of INXS or the show. My dad is totally into it and isn't into "rock" (but then, his daughters were total INXS fanatics growing up!). I am so ignorant of most current music that if a hot current band needed a replacement, I don't know that I'd be interested in watching-- I'm watching purely to see INXS again! Gee, Jon is still so cute and I love watching him "drum" along to the performances! And how weird that Garry looks exactly the same. And I love Kirk's natty Latin Quarter look! There's a new link to the blogs at www.inxs.com, but nothing new has been posted since they were last available (except gigantic photos of each band member, in case you forgot what they look like): http://www.inxs.com/rockstarinxs/blogs.php MiG's most recent blog entry says that Brandon originally wanted to do "All Right Now," that makes me wonder how MiG would have sounded doing "It's All Over Now," but oh well...I can't wait to hear MiG do a ballad!

It wouldn't surprise me if the bottom three hold Brandon and Jessica that the band bounces both of them. They just aren't the right fit. Jessica seems very flat all the time and Brandon tends to spout gibberish in response to anything the band or Dave says. I thought JD's performance was bottom three material as well. *While they keeping putting New Glasgow next to JD's name, I believe he now lives in Oakville, Ontario

http://www.tvguide.com/tv/watercooler/ Review of Rock Star:INXS - Tuesday night performances TV Guide: The Watercooler Rock Star: INXS There's no denying that all of the competition's rockers, both present and past, are capable singers. However, it's becoming clear that only a few have the nuance necessary to front INXS. I just can't imagine some of these guys succeeding outside of their respective genres. Then again I can't imagine much right now: Because Brooke Burke isn't wearing pants. But rock is all about soldiering on in the legs, er, face of adversity, so I'll do my best to recap. Suzie: If Evanescence were to cover "Losing My Religion," it'd sound like this. Mixing some grungy wailing into her breathy delivery, Suzie Q kicked off the show with something truly inventive. MiG: Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new singer of INXS. I simply cannot see how Kirk, Garry and the Brothers Farriss could choose someone over MiGgy. This guy could sing the liner notes of an INXS album and turn them into a showstopper. J.D.: A friend of mine thinks everything J.D. does borders on the inappropriate. And after his bizarre reconciliation Sunday with MiG (via a message on his tattooed forearms), I'm inclined to agree with her. In retrospect, Seal's "Crazy" suits J.D. just fine. Jessica: Her "Come as You Are" sounded like a bar-band cover version. Midway through, I found myself looking for the shot girl. Jordis: Having recently jammed with Hollywood party band Camp Freddy at an X-Games soiree, Jordis solidified herself as one cool chick. Which makes her underwhelming take on "Layla" all the more disappointing. Brandon: Brando's delivery of "It's All Over Now" is as rough as cheap whiskey. And that's why it's so good. Has that shot girl come by yet? Marty: Mr. Nice Guy unplugs and goes solo for "Mr. Brightside" — and it's the performance of the night. Almost more killer than the Killers themselves. Deanna: With her bluesy way of belting out the classic-rock canon, Deanna would make the perfect duet partner for Brandon, wouldn't she? Here's hoping they exchange numbers before they're both bounced. Ty: After ending up in the bottom three last week, Ty calls upon Da Prophet, Bob Marley, for a redemption song. And, boy, does he find it with "No Woman, No Cry." Turning in the most passionate performance of the series, Ty got his groove back. Irie, irie, bro. And while I still don't believe Ty will be able to usurp his MiGness, I think that, in the end, everything's gonna be alright for his career. — Joseph Hudak

Gotta say I've never been a Dave Navaro fan (thought he was very weird and even unlikeable on his MTV series), but....he's been absolutely great on this show. I love that his comments are definitive, helpful, and honest. And, more importantly, that he always gives a positive comment - even when their performance was off. He pays attention and is very tuned into them as people, not just performers. He's projecting that the show isn't about him, but the kids; unlike many others in the reality show genre.

I can tell you why they keep putting New Glasgow by JD's name. Cause when you are from here, you are from here, roots are strong here and no one ever leaves completely. It is always like, I am going out west for a few years, I will be back soon. People leave and mostly come back, this is always home and will be. Most young people go out west and to us Ontario is west, they never plan on staying, just going for work. JD isn't from New Glasgow either, that is just the closest town that is on a map, he is a country boy. Most of you probably can't even conceive how small the place is that he lives in, I don't even think it could be called a village, just a few miles of country road. Anyway the point is to a local kid from here, this is where he lives, Oakville will never be home, it is just the place he is staying for awhile.

Who do you think will get the encore for tonight's show? My guess is Ty. (that's not who I'd pick, but that's my guess as to who will get it.)

Here are some muses about my top two favorites: Marty's pulled way ahead of the pack by showing his diversity without having been asked to do so. MiG hasn't done this, but doesn't mean he can't. He needs to quickly step up his game like Marty has. MiG should make an effort to show his individuality and worry less about conforming. We all know MiG has the "it" factor on physical looks...show us the "it" factor with talent. I agree with what Dave told him last night - this is a contest. MiG needs to fight for what he wants & needs to prove himself in this if he's gonna win it. He's given up a helluva lot for this chance of a lifetime and we're all ready & waiting for him to raise the bar. Marty's making it harder & harder for me to have MiG as my favorite. MiG leaves me breathless. Marty leaves me wanting more. I'm so envious of Jordis! Either she's brilliant with make-up or has a FANTASTIC make-up artist. Her make-up is beautiful.....very smoky purple and dark. Not many women can pull this off. The outfit she wore last night was perfect for her. The woman has style and class.

I am very surprised that they didn't let both Jessica and Brandon go. I never get the feeling that they are that impressed with Jessica's singing, yet they always keep her there. (Perhaps they're into her looks more.?)

Bottom five were Suzie, Brandon, Deanne, JD, and Jessica..... When voting was cut off bottom 3 were: Suzie, Brandon, and Jessica. Brandon "was not right for their band INXS." Dave gave him a lot of praise though. Suzie did okay with "Bitter Tears." Jessica did "Disappear" which I didn't care for. Brandon had to do "Don't Lose Your Head"...thought he sounded okay, but forgot some of the lyrics which was the final straw for him with INXS I think!

I'm confused.. did a post here talk about someone being at a taping of the show, and giving some spoiler info about how the songs sounded? How does that occur if its a live show?? am i just an idiot?? I am glad to see that hubby and i werent the only ones who didnt like Jordis's performance. Only we were much harder on it than everyone else here. We thought it was horrible that she took a song with so much expression of anguish and she sang about getting down on your knees and ease my worried mind and she sang it and moved her head around like she was Hanson singing M'Bop. I was shocked at her choice of how she did it.. Also, we seem to be the only Ty-dislkers, although i saw a glimmer of it on a post here.. We both think he is just extremeley insincere, fake and arrogant. He sang two beautiful moving ballads and I felt that every look at the camera and audience was so premeditated and phony that i can bearly look at him. He has a tremendous voice, probably the best of the group for sure, but i cant get past the sensation that he is very fake. He seemed to squeeze his eyes to get tears when INXS talked to him tonite, and those tears at the house just looked fake to me.. I am just waiting until it comes out at some point that he is totally insincere, but i would like to be proven wrong since his voice is so good. But i get moved by tv commercials or the price is right, and am quite a sap, so if he was sincere, i think i would definitely be feeling it! Still rooting for Mig or Marty. I love Mig's personality. Can you be so nice and make it as a rock star or will that do him in? I am still bummed that tivo didnt do last weeks show and i cant get it on the web site cuz it says that i have to download updates of like 5 things to get it. Is there someway i can just get linked to it thru here in a simpler format? I get BBlive feeds, dont know why i cant get inxs. Oh yeah, and i think Suzies Bitter Tears was excellent.. i think jessica shouldve gone before brandon. but i guess after the Squeeze rendition of pafamjas and flapple , one more nite of wrong words was too much for them to take..
