Well, I want Suzie out next, then Mig. Then I shall be happy. JD was my pick from the get-go. Marty came up fast. JD did great tonight. I like them both. JD seems the better fit, but I STILL don't really know what they're looking for. Why is Mig getting all these votes? Why don't people see what I see? Course I didn't understand the American Idol outcome either. Mercy - that was bad (for me). And you know there's a boatload of people voting who don't know squat about INXS. Probably thousands that have no clue that JD sounded like "him" tonight and has the same "something". And not flat like I feel Mig is (sorry Mig fans).

Jordis left. Suzie and JD were in the F3. JD shouldn't have been there imo.

I think even Mig felt bad that it was JD instead of him up there. He had that releived but guilty look to him if you ask me.

Once a show has aired it is free game to discuss. This has always been the policy. If we couldn't do that no one on the east coast could post until midnight. It would be a west coast board. The deal is to stay out of threads on the night it airs if you dont want to read the discussion about it.

Anyone else notice how hoarse Suzy's voice was tonight? Especially when talking. Good that she sounded as well as she did. After a few of them saying how stressed they were performing (not JD or Marty) last night, OB said that they better be ready for it, because this is nothing compared to life as the lead singer.

Thanks Fruitbat. That is how I have always felt, but good to hear. I didn't want to be sent to the penalty box.

Thanks Meagain....I really like Jordis but felt she really has slipped the last 3 weeks. Hopefully I'll catch the replay on VH1 this week since I crashed before it came on. My daughter said Marty rocked. Mig did win my heart though when he did Peter Frampton, but that just brings back memories. I would really like to see INXS pull a fast one and pick 2 people. Suzie (love her) and one of the guys.

I thought Jordis would be the one to go tonight after the last couple of weeks. She doesn't sound good singing an INXS song. JD is growing on me. Mig, whom I have loved, is falling as one of my favorites. I think he gets so many votes because he's such a cutie and a sweetie and is a great performer. I think JD sounds a lot like Michael Hutchence (sp) especially when he sings an INXS song. Got a slightly similar move as well. Love Marty still. (In my earlier post about how Michael died...I did think it was suicide. I never heard anything different until now. I never knew there was another scenario. Tragic loss either way.)

I too didn't realize that we could vote for best original song. My own fault but I agree with the other poster that the website is confusing. Marty must have still been the one with the most votes at the end although J.D.'s original song won out. I liked Marty's better and would have voted for it if I had known to. I don't know that much about INXS either, other than the story about Michael H. dying by hanging himself. The only song of theirs that I recognized was The Devil in You. Honestly folks, I thought the band looked like old fogeys up there on stage with all those great looking contestants tonight. Marty and Susie are the most talented by far and the band will be fortunate to have Marty to bring in new fans.

i agree with spoiling. if you don't want to be spoiled then don't come in here until later. i'm on the west coast and i like to be spoiled. i kinda knew jordis was leaving. she has a great voice but it's not what INXS is looking for. jd has done a turnaround for the better. the only thing i don't like about jd is that he twists the songs toooooo much and makes them kinda unbearable. he also screams too much and tries to take over things and make things go his way. i don't think INXS wants someone that will clash that much with the group. just my opinion.

I was glad to see Jordis go tonight...not because I dislike her, but because it's been pretty disheartening seeing her confidence, etc. continue to slide over the past several weeks. I did like her original performance last night. I think she's much more comfortable "doing her own thing" rather than performing classics. I'm sure she did learn a lot from this experience; and it will help her better prepare for a future in the music business. Mig's confidence level is becoming visibly noticeable too now. He really thought he should have been in the bottom three tonight I think. I have a feeling he thought he had the best shot at winning it for early on, but now I get the feeling he thinks INXS might not be as keen on him. I still think he'd make a good pop performer or will probably continue on with his theater career. Suzie did alright again tonight, but I'm still sticking with the thought that INXS might not be ready for a woman. Did she sing "Never Tear Us Apart" once before when in the bottom three?? I felt like I had heard her sing that song before. It seems like people are either in one camp or the other about JD. I am in the "I don't really get him" camp. IMO don't find his vocals or performance all that spectacular. I do think INXS will still wind up choosing him though. Marty is still my favorite. To me there is just something more interesting and/or unique about him overall. I so hoped he would get the encore tonight. Interesting that a lot of people were yelling Marty in the crowd when they were asking about the encore. I know it went by internet vote though. I only voted for Marty's song once! Should have voted more I guess, but since there was no coding or anything I didn't know if duplicate votes counted in that poll. I voted for Marty a number of times in the regular weekly vote. I really don't think INXS will choose Marty. He might eventually come to wanting to have more input in the band than they might want someone to have. I get the feeling even though they're looking for a singer for OB...OB is exactly who will remain firmly in control over a new member. Hope I'm wrong about this, but Tim Farris has sounded a bit dictator-like as the weeks have gone on. Guess he's just the spokesperson for bad news.

Marty really creeps me out. And I'm Talkin REALLY CREEPED OUT! I really like JD the best, but I've not heard any of the "controversy" people say surrounds him. Suzie is awsome. But I just don't think they are looking for a girl-singer anymore than they were looking for a black soul-singer. I personally pick JD to win this. He has the edge, the attitude, the grit, and has wayyyyyy the appeal. And, Hay, Doesn't everyone start out as an Elvis impersonator?

I think JD has a grea voice, and I might listen to it on the radio, but I can NOT stand to watch him!!! Everything about him seems to staged and disingenuine. He really bothers me, personality wise.

I love watching JD perform. I really think he is sexy and works the stage with real rock star attitude. When he kicked the stool down on Tuesday night at the end of his set, it just screamed Rock Star behaviour to me. Similar to what Kc said about JD: "It seems like people are either in one camp or the other about JD." I think also holds true for Marty. Personally, I can't stand his stage antics. They are creepy and remind me of Marilyn Mason. However, no matter how much I want JD to win, I think Marty will get the gig. I just hope all the individuals who competed get their big break. They all have a passion for what they do (even Marty who is not my personal taste).

I could watch Marty perform all day and the last person I would be reminded of is Marilyn Manson. Speaking of who they remind you of: Mig looks like Willem DeFoe to me (a younger and cuter version).

Count me in the "I don't get JD" camp. Aside from his arrogance, I really don't think his voice is all that great. I'm really hoping that the F3 are Marty, Suzie, and Mig. I'd love for Suzie to win it... I think it may be time for INXS to think about a female lead.

I thought JD sounded great on the last 2 shows. Costa - you don't? I thought he did good at the beginning, then slacked, then came back this week.

When this show was first announced, I thought it was an awful idea. I was surprised to grow to like it instantaneously. But last night, when everyone was on stage performing "Us", I realized how much I really, really miss Michael Hutchence. During that song, I thought of how trying to find a new lead singer for this band is so pointless. While the show has been entertaining, I really don't care who wins. To me, INXS will always be who they once were not who they might become by replacing their lead singer. I wish these guys would either retire or create a whole new project.

That's why I think they gotta pick Suzie. If the pick another go, it really will be sort of 'so what'. With a girl they can re-release the old stuff in a fresh way and create new stuff and not have to have the inevitable comparrison to Michael.

who knows, we all may be pleasantly surprised with the end result and the new sound of our band INXS. my two pennies are that Mig is flagging and Marty is just "not a good fit" for these guys. JD or Suzie will be the new singer. I like all four of them that are left and wouldn't be surprised if they pick Suzie or JD

I think they should go with Suzie. Takes away any comparisons to Michael Hutchins who I don't know anyway.

My fav is Suzie but I think it is going to be JD Suzie has been in the bottom 3 so many times, that has to influence their choice. Apparently she doesn't have the fan base that Mig and Marty have - and JD has a great fan base it seems. My second fav is Mig.

A few scattered thoughts: It was time for Jordis to go though it seams she finally was starting to get comfortable with the pressure but unfortunately too late. JD, I didnt care for him earlier but he definitely has the stage presence more so than the others. Though I would agree some of the stage movements are strained or too artificial. Mig, his eyes looked terrible due to stress on one quick shot of him during the show. Ty and Marty excelled in songwriting/composing. Though we can only see so much through the editing. Will Suzie get cut next week? Or will one of the guys? JD, his song was very close to an existing inxs tune. Does anyone know which song that was and have they listened to both. If so, how close are they? Idea for a new show, just have a competition in singing rock tunes, hmmm idol/starshearch, but with a storyline, a rock twist and a good live band. It will be sad when this competition is over because I am not sure they could repeat the genuine closeness of this group of singers. Just look at the level of emotion that is displayed when people are booted. Lastly, it is soooo refreshing to see so much positive coming out of a show.
