Thanks Cinnamongirl, glad to know I wasn't imagining it. I will ignore the remarks from now on. Almost time for the results show, Go Marty and so long J.D.

Just watched my tape and I have to say, I thought Susie KILLED with that song! I had goose bumps--and I saw Freddy Mercury sing that song live in 1977! I really thought she was awesome!

I also thought Jordis was awesome. I just love her and think she is so pretty! I do think she has a big future as a solo artist, but I don't see her with OB: INXS (lol).

I think Marty is adorable, but like him a whole lot better when he's not screaming. I keep thinking about what Susie said to him in the first show about having nodules on his vocal cords. Sometimes I think he's going to just snap something in his throat. It's actually painful to listen to. I did like his version of "Wish You Were Here," though.

I'm over Ty's mohawk. I think it's distracting. Does he want to be about the performance or about the hair? I'm just saying . . .

Still love Mig, and though he wasn't technically perfect, he did give a very energetic performance. That last note was amazing!!!

P.S. Hummingbird, I think you're awesome, too! To learn how to put your computer together and navigate the Internet all on your own. You rock, girl!

Me Donut, me!
I am enjoying Rockstar much more overall than BB this year. This year's HGs haven't done much for me...whereas your music, your Marty, your Mig, and OUR BAND INXS have!! LOL

Babyjax do you have any comment about JD's performance last night?

I agree about Suzie. I thought she rocked the house. That combined with her vocals for the new track may have transformed her from the Queen of the Bottom 3 to the one to beat. INXS seemed really impressed and I nearly passed out when one of them said something like I am so proud you decided to audition for our band. I am thinking since she had style issues previously (and has improved greatly in that area) maybe INXS thinks she may be the easiest to modify into what would fit best with their new vision of their band. Just a thought...

Sasha, I'm just not a JD fan (in fact, I just plain don't like him), so I guess I left him out! I just don't like his attitude or his singing, and the hand gestures just bug me. He looks like he's having a seizure half the time. I guess he was okay, but he didn't wow me. I'll admit, I probably don't give him a chance cause I don't like him. I just thought it was terrible disrespectful of him not to give his best to the recording session. What an opportunity! And he blew it off with, "I just thought I'd come in here and you'd tell me what you wanted." Doesn't mean you shouldn't prepare yourself, dude.

I missed the first few minutes - what were they saying about the hurricane? Can anyone share?

INXS was talking about how New Orleans is one of their favorite cities and how nice the people there always are to them. They made a donation to the American Red Cross.

Well, Marty has made me fall in love with a song that I always turned the radio dial when the Pink Floyd version was on. To me that counts for something. I felt teared up (like Gary Garry Beers was!)

I'm a little confused, did Ty just say that he thinks he is leaving because he is black? Maybe I am interpreting his statement incorrectly....

So was Ty right? Did people not vote for him because he is black?

I have a hard time believing this. I think it's because all the teenage girls are voting for Marty, Mig and JD.

God knows INXS didn't care if he was black. Terrence Trent D'arby sang with them for awhile.

Ty did play the race card, imo. I've never been his biggest fan and am not sad to see him go.

I think Ty is leaving because although he is a good singer, he isn't a good fit with INXS and it has nothing to do with the colour of his skin. jmo

A little word on last night's performance, I may have missed this, though I liked Marty's performance his "moment" seemed a little manufactured. Scorpio I know you don't like JD and Suzi does seem a bit dippy at times I so want to support the Canadian talent since our Idol is so lame this year. I think INXS wants Suzi

Jasper: I hear ya. I really want to support Canadian talent too and I wish I could get excited by JD or Susie. (P.S: Chin up re: CI. Hedley will be on Sept. 7th!!! OMG! Could you just imagine if Jacob had been on Rockstat INXS? That would have been a riot!)

I just watched last night's show, and before I read the spoilers from tonight's elimination...

1. I thought Susie just ROCKED! That was easily the best Bohemian Rhapsody I have ever heard, and I love that song.

2. I loved Mig's performance. I think he missed a couple of notes, but more than made up for it with that note at the end! Yowzer!

3. I thought Marty's toned down performance was awesome. I totally forgot that was a Pink Floyd song, and I loved the way he did it. He put a lot of emotion in to that song.

4. I loved Jordis just sitting there doing Imagine. I love that song, it has so much meaning, and she really did a lovely job. Plus she's gorgeous. (And I loved her dad's duds!)

5. I was not impressed with JD's Suspicious Minds. Then again, I've not been impressed with JD much at all. I think he's done some good stuff, but I can't get past his ego. (Check his face out when INX gives someone else props! Looks like he sucked a lemon!)

6. I am so over Ty. I thought he might be a good fit a few weeks ago, but more and more I think he's not a good fit for INX. I don't think INX is a soul band, and I really REALLY hate that 'hawk of his (isn't that so '80's?).

Anyways, my pick for bottom three would be JD, Ty, and probably Marty or Mig. (The latter two of which I hope DON'T go; the first two can leave any time!)

So Ty pulled the race card, huh? Then I'm really glad he's gone. I didn't think he was a good fit anyways, but the race card? That's just baloney. I haven't voted on anyone (mostly cause they close before I get a chance to watch the show), but I wouldn't have voted for him ever anyways. There have always been others who are better!

Who was in the bottom three?

Who did the encore?

INXS asked Suzie to do the encore. Then said two deserved an encore. Asked Suzie to pick the other. She picked Marty.

Ty, J.D., and Jordis were in bottom three after voting closed.

There's an intensity in Marty that at times is a bit disconcerting. Jasper, I do sense that it's a bit manufactured.

And I think JD has been doing a bang up job of hiding a wounded little boy - of course most of us have a wounded kid somewhere inside.

What song did INXS ask each of the bottom three to perform?

Crap. I can't remember all three songs the bottom three performed. I do know Jordis sang "Listen Like Thieves" and it was great. I never liked that song, but loved her version.

Ty screwed up the lyrics to the song they gave him. It was an awkward moment when Garry point it out to him.

I don't know about you guys, but when Garry pointed out the mistakes, I got the feeling then and there that Ty was going to be eliminated.

JD sang Last Time - and pointed to the other singers throughout the whole song, "This time....will be the last time...that we will fight like that..."

Jordis sang Listen Like Thieves - and while she did a good job, once again, she forgot lyrics and hid down on the floor during that part.

Ty sang The One Thing and did OK.

INXS said "3 mediocre performances." I personally think it was the song choices. I was actually looking forward to hearing JD and Jordis sing INXS songs for the first time. I think JD would rock on any old Michael Hutchence song and Jordis should get a chance to sing Elegantly Wasted or Mystify.

I also think JD was very taken aback by how he was portrayed tonight. I felt for him - he's competed hard and intensely and he's definitely let his ego get on everyone's nerves. But he's toned it down and tried to fit in better. I thought Ty was horrible in his conversation with Dave about JD not learning the song - very transparent. That being said, JD should've worked harder - this was the first week he's shown a crack in his armor. He was very upset and it came out in his performance - he seemed defeated last night.

But Ty's racial card was disappointing. He is definitely the rocker least apppropriate for INXS - it's just not a good fit and I think he should have been gone weeks ago, and he would have been if he didn't have great songs to sing.

As to the others...

Mig is an obvious good fit for INXS - he needs to pick up his performances and is getting better each week.

Suzie has had great songs the past 2 weeks. She has a powerful voice and a very likeable personality. But I don't believe she's a good fit either.

Marty has to give away too much of himself to make the band. He's doing that now and everyone's liking it. We shall see if he's willing to give it all away to make the band.

Personally, I think the 2 most fit for the band are JD and Mig - and Mig's getting the right songs and JD is not.

Of course, this is all just MHO...

i absolutely agree--Ty should not have said that. to make it to the final 6 was no small thing. i didn't particularly like him either (my daughter did like him tho, for whatever reason). its so funny--my husband's name is marty (and no he does not look or sing like him lol) so i was upstairs watching and when suzie got picked for the encore, i'm up there yelling, go marty go marty...don't think he heard it, but it was too funny. anyway, babyjaxmom--i am so impressed. i know someone who partied with freddy mercury, always loved that song too. i really hope the video works soon on the web site for the original performance. the encore was okay, but i want to see that choir jumping around again :-).

My

Ty has a great voice but would not represent inxs very well.

I think Suzie has replaced Jordis for the top female spot. Jordis needs to wake up by showing a little more energy. It looks as though she is going to break out in tears at any moment. Unfortunately it looks like next week she will sing another ballad where she needs a rock song. Suzie is showing she is fun and can interact well with others but is she the right one for inxs, nope.

JD is good tv but when it comes down to it his vocals are somewhat limiting.

Marty can front a band but not sure that he is where inxs wants to go.

mmw: Mig is the chosen one...... besides he is an aussie

Marty is a beautiful man! I could listem and watch him for hours. If he doesn't front INXS, he will do well on his own.

I reran the tape before the results show and was more impressed with Mig the second time around. I agree that the winner will be Mig, Marty,or even J.D. as a longshot.

I am getting tied of the a** kissing by the contestants. It seems as though some of them have rehearsed comments to impress INXS with how much they worship them.

Yes, Susie is fantastic but not right our INXS. As for Jordis, I thouhght she was gone last night and probably will be next. Ty, Ty, Ty, why did you leave us with such a negative impression of you? Shame on you!
