I don't know, Westtexan, I've never heard it before. They loved JD, I didn't ...

I thought JD did a good job on that song (except for the few cheesy comments he threw in to the ladies in the audience.) He just seems like he'd be too inconsistent to deal with musically... and personally. Just doesn't seem like the real article with me. Still say he should try acting!

I liked Jordis's performance a lot tonight. She probably does have about the best voice on the show.

okay, my favorites tonight were Mig and Jordis. My least favorites were Marty and JD (even though the band and Dave liked them, I didn't)

Jordis sang "The Man Who Sold the World." David Bowie did it originally. Nirvana did a cover of it on their Unplugged in New York CD. Good song! I liked how Kurt Cobain sang it too.

IMO-

Better Performances: Jordis, Marty

Okay Performances: Brandon, Suzie, JD

Performances I didn't care for this week: Deanna, Ty, Tara, Jessica

(Power outage during Mig's performance tonight!)

I would personally put Deanna, Tara, and Jessica in the bottom three. Ty has a good voice, but had an off night tonight with his choice of song. Well, actually he pretty much got something he didn't want this week, didn't he??

Here's my hope:

I hope one of the guys becomes the lead singer of INXS.

And I hope Jordis becomes the lead singer of the house band, they make a record and become huge rock stars.

The best two things about this show are Jordis and the house band.

Thought Jordis, JD, Mig and Marty were the best tonight. I do not like Jessica's voice at all, and I think Garry was trying to get Tara to admit she didn't like covers. If she is bottom three she is toast. I'd put her, Brandon and Jessica or Ty in the bottom tonight.

I do definitely think Jordis will see success from this show. She will be offered something from a label I bet. I didn't get to catch the news just now, but they were supposed to have Marty's band on telling why they don't want him to win this competition! <LOL> Considering all factors, I think Mig would fit in. He's a fellow Aussie, had professional experience, appears to have a little following already, etc. Therefore, if the INXS gig doesn't go too far as a result of this, Mig can fall back on his theater gigs.

There you go: Jordis gains a record deal, Marty's band sees a more widespread success, and Mig gains some more experience and a bigger profile in the biz! It works for me!

Jordis' performance tonite was really haunting. She is a beautiful young woman with a powerful but controlled melodic voice. Scorpio everyone at our house said the same thing about Jordis and the house band too.

I liked Mig, Marty, JD and even Brandon tonite. I have loved Ty every week but thought he really had an off nite tonite. Loved Deanna's energy but she was really off key a lot in that performance. Didn't like Jessica, Suzie or Tara.

Marty all the way :-)

Jordis looks bloated all the time. I would never buy inxs music with her as the singer. She sounds awful.

Great show last night. What a 180 from last week. I put tonights show on protect on my DVR, I am going to watch it again.

Starts out with Mig doing a song right up his alley and I said well there is the encore song. Then Deena, though not that popular here, I agreed with Dave and the band she was smokin' hot. Then Marty out creeded Creed.

Excellent:
Mig, Deanna, Marty, Jordis, JD

Enjoyed:
Suzie, Jessica, Tara

Stuck with singing Foo (but not in danger of getting cut):
Ty

Made Sally dog want to go outside and whizz:
Brandon

Bottom three:
Brandon, Tara and it doesnt matter

Out:
Brandon

Tonight's Encore:
Could have been any of 5, but its Jordis' turn.

Best fit for Inxs style of music
Mig for a guy, Suzie for a girl

Best for creating a new catalog and a reinvention of the band:
Jordis, JD, Marty, Ty

Most important question to be answered:
Which one does Wink find boy toy worthy?

This may surprise you Rabbit but it's a toss-up depending on what and how they sing to me. Last nite it was Marty all the way.

I thought it was funny that when Deanna finished her song and then pointed out her sister in the audience, Dave said something like, "Wow, your sister is in the audience? And you still gave a good performance? Incredible!" JD didn't look very abashed, though! :-)

I really hated JD's rendition of "The Letter" and thought JD was very cheesy, so I was taken aback by Dave saying he'd watch JD for two hours!

I was happy to see Brandon singing and not losing it, but the cross-eyed thing at the beginning (before 1st chorus when he threw himself on the ground) left something to be desired! Yet he was so amiable during INXS's comments, it made me wonder if they would just like him because they are looking for a new "member of the family."

I actually liked Jessica's performance, it was a hard song to do because there isn't a lot of "singing"....I think bottom three would be Tara, Ty and maybe Deanna? We'll see tonight!

Rock Star: INXS' Monday night episodes move to VH1

As rumored, CBS is changing the schedule of Rock Star: INXS. The network is unloading one-third of the show—the Monday night episodes—to VH1. Both networks are owned by Viacom, and a press release awkwardly describes this as “part of an agreement between CBS, VH1 and Mark Burnett Productions.”

VH1 will air the half-hour non-competition episodes on Sunday evenings at 8 p.m. ET. In addition, “VH1 will also repurpose encores of both the Tuesday and Wednesday editions beginning Saturday, Aug. 13.”

The press release also has a paragraph toward the end that paints a smiley face on the dismal numbers, although it’s only able to put the smiley face on the Tuesday night episodes for three groups of people:

“The Tuesday performance-driven edition of ROCK STAR: INXS has averaged 6.18 million viewers while winning its 10:00-11:00 PM time period in adults 18-34 (2.5/08), adults 18-49 (3.0/08) and adults 25-54 (3.4/09).”

Maybe INXS will drop all three tonight if numbers are so dismal! Depends how quickly they want to end this series. I still find that disappointing. I really like this show!!

Kimmo, I loved Dave's comments to Deanna about her sister too. It was really meant as a slam to JD, but who knows if he even picked it up or cared! Dave did rave about JD's performance later though.

There were several digs at JD on the show. He caught them all and took them graciously. He enthusiastically supported the other singers during their performances and was polite and concise in his replies to the judges.

Apparently "the letter" JD was singing about was from his agent with instructions on how not to shoot yourself in the foot anymore.

Anyone know what the tatoo 3-3-3 that Jordis has on the palm of her left hand means?

Uh ... Kc103 ... yes JD did pick up on it. After he sang he said to INXS "by the way, my sister says hello." It's true he has an ego (which I love, BTW) BUT he can also take a ribbing for his behaviour and not get defensive or put out. I think that says a lot about him actually. Plus, I don't think he is always cow-towing to the band--he takes instruction AND he has mind of his own (an original). He might not have the most vocal range of all the singers but he uses what he does have really well. And he has great stage presence, IMO. I think Dave and INXS REALLY like him, ego and all. Having said that, I'm not sure he is the guy to front INXS. I hope being on TV gives him the break he needs.

Nooooo! I am a cheapskate who only watches basic-basic cable! I'm not going to be able to watch Monday nights if they're on VH1....Oh well. Are the ratings really so bad for all the nights, or just Monday night?

I'm sure JD got the various digs last night, too--He can be sleazy, cheesy and poser-like but he isn't stupid! :-) I did think he showed a lot of good humor. I want to hear him sing an INXS song, though! It probably won't be this week...

You're all right! I forgot about JD's comment about his sister. Definitely a reply to earlier comments made in the show.

When I saw Marty's performance, I thought 'Wow, best performance of the series.'

Then Jordis blew me away also. She looked beautiful like an angel, sounded really special, and for the first time I really agreed with the band's drooling.

Then JD... WHAT A TALENT. That guy is amazing. Although I could do with a tad less of the Elvis thing - maybe. Obviously he needs to mature emotionally, and its really good to see the band working with him on that. I hope that he doesn't let them or himself down. What he really needs is a good smack to let him know that looking insensitive towards his competitors isn't doing him any favors. I am hoping next week we'll see that he really, really gets it.

I actually agree somewhat on the band maybe liking his ego a bit. Marty seems a little too sheepish by comparison. But I have a feeling outside of the situation he is probably a lot different. On the blogs they say he is a 'leader' in the house. JD gives off more star potential though if he is reigned in a bit. Since he is so young and inexperienced relative to the band, hopefully it wouldn't be too hard for them to do that.

Kady, I wondered about the three 3s. It must be in reference to her friend that died recently that she was reminded of while singing this song.
