Poor Jordis! I do think she's got a lot in her, but seems to appear more defeated by herself each week now. I REALLY liked her original. I would buy that song!

I could easier picture Clay Aiken singing Mig's song then OB.

I thought JD rocked.

Loved Marty's original, but wasn't thrilled by his unplugged version of Everlong. Glad they were doing the original's second. Great song to end the show.

I'm still all about Marty! I loved his original..wacky...but a GREAT kind of wacky!! Very catchy as INXS pointed out. I also liked Jordis's original...which Marty helped write. I guess I'm more partial to his style of music personally.

Yikes I missed the vote at the end. What was the order of the votes tonight? I wanted to know and got distracted.

I think all of the requested songs were ok but none really stood out.

On the originals, I thought JD's, Jordis's and Marty's were good enough to release.

At this point, do you think INXS has their mind made up for sure yet who they want?? If so, who do you think it seems to be?

Pixieduster: Yes, I also like that we can all express our own opinions on the board here and everyone respects each other. That's the main reason the TVCH is the only message board community I always come to! Time to vote for Marty now.

Kc: I'm guessing they have picked JD. Marty is great, but he doesn't have the charisma (and I use that word loosely) that JD does.

I think to make for "good TV", Suzie and JD (a girl against a guy) will be in the final two.

Well, for starters, the beautiful Brooke Burke wore her nightie to host tonight's show.

The only good original song's were Marty's (rocked!) and (surprize) J.D.'s.

Jordis did a good job on We Are The Champions but I didn't care for her original. I was afraid her pants were going to fall off! She flashed us a "muffin top" (the designated name for that unattractive roll of flesh protruding above the waistband of those low-slung jeans that have been popular for a few years.) The only gals who look good in those things are the very thin and the very buff.

I was unimpressed with Mig tonight and also with Susie's original song.

Marty is still the man!

IMO:

Jordis will go next. (no brainer there)

Suzie - Good voice. Yawn. Snoozefest. I don't even remember her on stage!

Mig - not a good night. Especially the original song. Like a poor Andrew Lloyd Webber song (I hate ALW). It was abysmal. But maybe I'm biased. Mig is PLASTIC to me. Uninteresting, cheesy almost, and not a great voice. :-) Plastic I tell ya.

JD - Did great! (he'll be getting some of my votes)

Marty - Fantabulous! (90% of my votes)

Scorpiomoon, I could see your scenario being right. I think there's something they have always liked about JD from the start. I don't think he necessarily has the strongest vocals, but I also don't think INXS sees that as the absolute thing to have to be in OB. Obviously, JD has some of that "it" quality because many people on here seem to think so, and he has lasted this long. I think INXS would find him very "moldable" because he would be so grateful to get the gig.

I think they could possibly be considering Suzie for the opposite reason than JD..her strong vocal performances. I'm not too convinced they want a woman to front the band though. They still seem like a "guy's guy" kind of band to me, even though they're older now.

Though I think there're certain qualities that INXS like about Marty I still do not believe they see him as a clear fit within OB. I think they do respect that Marty takes direction well and has been quite accommodating to their suggestions in order to fulfill their expectations. I also think they have liked some of his performances throughout the series, and after tonight can see that he can bring something to a songwriting table. All this being said, I'll be entirely surprised if INXS sees Marty as the new vision for their band.

Mig started as a strong contender and still seems the perfect Aussie fit for them. I do think he is a dynamic performer...but I'm not sure as the weeks go on if INXS wants to seriously consider him. Sometimes I get the feeling (especially after tonight's ballad) that they think he's still too pop-lite for them.

Sadly, I think they have written Jordis off now. I think Dave's questions and comments to her were also telling. I do feel they think she has potential, but do not see her within their music at all.

JMO's as always!

Meagain, haven't seen you on the BB board when I've been over there. Did you give up on it this year? LOL Not crazy about BB this year at all...but I'll stick around to see who wins I guess!

So far, JD and Suzie are getting my votes tonight, but I haven't heard Marty yet, so that can change. However, I'd really like to see a JD and Suzie final two....After tonight, Jordis needs to go. And my original favourite, Mig, is beginning to seem to "stagey" and not enough like a rock star.

Interesting show! JD was fantastic, except it still bothers me the way he gets in the (female) audience's face, etc-- His original song was good and I really liked his rendition of "Come As You Are"!

I really liked Suzie's song, I didn't think it was *that* out of INXS's character-- As if Andrew and Michael have not written corny, life-affirming songs such as Suzie's. Of course they have! Oh well. Maybe that was the first time I could really see Suzie fronting the band.

MiG, oh MiG! I thought he was pretty awful. "Hard to Handle" was okay but it wasn't stretching it or showing us anything new, and he sounded a little feeble and screechy at times....And I kind of felt like he was stagey, too. I think his ballad about a dead friend was a poor choice-- It seemed really maudlin and jarring after coming off of a Black Crowes song. That he kept reiterating the parallel of "My song is about my dead friend, and you have a dead friend, let's move on!" was awkward, I know he was earnest about it but to show what he could offer INXS, that was such a wrong choice! I love MiG and from the fan boards I see people love this song of his, but I don't think it really showcased MiG as a songwriter. I don't think MiG is going to make it to the final 3.

Marty was also fantastic! I wish he hadn't started screaming at the end of "Everlong," I liked the weird deep voice he did at the end of certain lines! Of course, loved "Trees," and I thought he looked so cute tonight! I could still see INXS picking him.

Poor Jordis! A song about how this experience is draining you and making you lose yourself is not a ringing endorsement of yourself as the new lead singer of INXS....I'm sure she'll be happy to go this week.

Did not get to see Sunday night's show, but the glimpse of Suzie slurping champagne off JD's foot was enough for me!

I didn't like Jordis on We Are The Champions at all.

I really am not sure if JD would be the pick for INXS. They see how "difficult" he can be, and I think that may be a concern. A band on the road, or during the intensity of a recording session, is like a family. JD seems to be the black sheep who doesn't wanna do what everyone else wants. And that can be a difficult thing to work with, no matter how good you are.

I love Mig but thought his performance last night lacked a lot of spark. But I thought Jordis was even worse. She's really seemed to lose confidence and it's really showing. She seems kind of "beaten down" and I suspect she'll be the one to go. (The fact that INXS highlighted her youth sounded almost like a death knell to me.)

I thought Suzie's performance of Bonnie Rait's song was great, but thought her own song was a bit too "ballady". But I liked it, just didn't love it.

I thought Marty's original was great.

I'm planning on downloading most of the songs they sung anyways (whether I liked 'em or not), since 100% of the purchase price goes to the disaster fund for Katrina. Just another little way to contribute, since I've been downlooading my top 3 favorites every week any ways.

Yes we all really do have varying opinions & its nice to have a safe place to verbalize them :-)

I love Love LOVE MiG - I think he rocks & I really enjoy his style & voice. I have d/l 2 of his songs on the Rock Star site & have listened to them over & over. Funny he doesn't seem at all plastic to me - I think his face is beautiful & he has handled himself well IMO

I also like Suzie's voice. They are my 2 favorites altho I enjoy watching all in the final 5. I also agree that Jordis is exhausted with the process & is ending up weaker then when she started. Poor thing but I believe they will all go far in music.

I never thought I would say this but go JD. He rocked the house last night.

I loved "Trees"....Marty has always rocked. :-)

While I really love JD and think he has great talent...I want to make the following observation:

Suzi is vocally the best - but I don't think INXS will pick a woman. I would be very surprised.

I think that INXS will look at picking Marty from a marketing standpoint - he is American. Most of the viewers are American and they are the biggest buying market as far as future sales of albums go. Personally, I don't think he is the best "fit" for the band musically, but money-wise he may be. If anyone other than an American wins they may feel that they will lose some fans. I realize that INXS is an Australian band, but they get big sales in the US. Of course this is just IMHO.

Anyone else have similar thoughts?

I usually lurk around here, but I am so loving this show that I wanted to pop in here with a few comments.

My favorite is Marty. I go weak in the knees when he looks into the camera. I spent a couple of hours last night voting for him. Loved "Trees"!!!! Even if INXS doesn't pick him, he's well on his way to a great musical career.

In terms of who I think INXS will pick, I have to honestly say I have no idea who they will pick. Throughout this show, I haven't gotten many hints about what they are really looking for. I know that the winner gets to lay down the vocals for the upcoming album and go on tour with them. But, I think that INXS hasn't really told us if they looking for someone to do just the album and tour or if they are looking for someone who can be a contributing member of INXS for years to come.

I want to believe that this show is their way of moving on after the death of MH, and I'm hoping that they are looking for someone who can be a contributing member for years to come. That's why I want them to pick Marty. But at this point, I'll be happy with whoever their choice is.

I think INXS is leaning toward JD from comments that they make. I used to like Mig the most with Marty a close second. I think I like Marty the most lately. I would love if INXS picked Marty, but it seems they don't think he is right for their band, yet they want someone who will contribute something new to their band. Marty would be the guy, but I think they will go with JD.

I agree about Mig being a fav. in the past & now Marty is my fav. I don't care for JD & I just don't think a female would be the best fit.
