It was a great show and it appears they will have a second season because little Miss Burke said to apply at rockstar.msn.com if you think you have what it takes to be a rockstar. Now what band needs a new lead singer?

I hope INXS will be able to work with JD's ego! <evil grin> Dagnabit! I'm so disappointed!

Any guesses on what band will be picking a lead singer next year? Maybe Nirvana? I doubt it. I'm trying to think of a band who needs a lead singer.

Just gonna say WHOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO Way to go JD, I am so happy for him. I never cared much for Marty, my favorite was Mig but I voted my ass off for JD cause he is a hometown boy.

LOL Llk, I voted like crazy for Suzie last week, but I don't even want to start the concept of regional voting in this thread! The comment I would like to make is that this is truly a rags to riches story. The reason I started watching this show at the beginning was because of a feature in the local TV guide of the 4 Canadians that were in the show (Tara, Deanna, Suzie and JD). According to the article, JD was living in a car in the Toronto area (hence his comment tonight about not driving the Civic into the swimming pool!) When I watched the first 3 performances tonight, I was back to thinking MiG is probably the best of 3 misfits for OB (not to in any way take away from the talent of all 3); then I thought Marty had a more energetic performance than JD when they performed with INXS. However, what kept going through my mind tonight was that (according to what I read in the TWOP treads) all these performances were recorded this morning in California - amazing the energy of both the performers and audience before noon! All round, a good show; not sure they will be able to match it next January (please read Jan's article above - they've been working on this for at least 15 months!) Will miss it next week!

Great job, JD. I knew you could do it. I've been rooting for you since week one.

well, once maggie won that othershow, hubby said, well now jd's gonna win... So it was a poopy nite for us... But, i think marty might have just made out even better. Now he gets a world tour, and probably a record and recognition to go with it, and he gets to do it on his terms and find musicians that are right for HIS band, The Mad Conductor... Congrats Marty... I just feel really bad for Mig! I wanted him or marty to win... Tivo messed up and i missed the show up til the middle of Bohemian. From what i saw, mig looked the best of all tonite. It seemed amazing. He shoulda sung with that range all season. Did i miss anything else, or just recaps??

Oh I was pulling for Marty too. Donut, my hubby and I had the same conversation that you did. But like you said he will do great, with the world tour and all the fans he has made!!

Never really cared much for JD, but he did awesome tonite. When he sang with INXS, he really looked like a member of their band the way he responded to all of them. I just loved Marty's face when they said they wanted to talk to him about being their opening act! It was just so transparent how thrilled he was. I love that this show has always tried to be positive and give props to the person leaving the show.

I am so happy for JD!!! He was awesome. Since he won there is even a chance that INXS will come to Nova Scotia (doing happy dance!!!) Rumour - Spoilerish * * * * The next band according to the radio is Van Halen

It's not going to be Van Halen. As much as this show has been positive exposure for INXS, they've kind of painted themselves into a corner. Technically, JD "won" the spot of lead singer. He gets to record this new CD and do a 100-city tour. That was the prize. That's what INXS is obligated to give him. So, what happens if, after the 100 city tour, INXS changes their mind? They're back to not having a lead singer. R.I.P Michael Hutchence. You are missed.

i'm happy JD won as well, I'm a maritimer after all (right LLK) ;) I didn't always like him, his attitude sucked but about 5 weeks ago when the others had it out with him on the show, I think he realized what an ass he had been and started to change his attitude some what. He's different today than he was even 5 weeks ago. I like marty as well but when I saw him sing with INXS last night and not interact with the band I knew he wouldn't win. Then JD comes out and interacts with the band, well that's one of the things they're looking for. JD looked really good up there with them. I bet his song, Pretty Vegas, will appear on the new inxs cd. The band loves the song.

As much as Marty really started to grow on me over the last couple of weeks - I was THRILLED for OB (our boy ) JD!!!! He looked so nervous that I thought he was going to have a heart attack if Tim didn't hurry up and say his name last night. I hope INXS makes lots of stops in Canada during their world tour.

Whoohoo! We're thrilled that JD won, after the fiasco that was BB I was glad to have something positive happen. I thought Mig was toast as soon as he picked Bohemian Rhapsody (thought Suzie was better) and Marty even picked something he had done before, only JD chose something different. Regarding his attitude, I just get the feeling he went into this so focused on the prize that he didn't want to get close to anyone else in the contest or get his feelings involved. I don't see him as having a big ego, I think OB picked the best candidate, he looked like he belonged with them on stage.

INXS? I think it was very early in the show last night that Brook said winner will front INXS during their world tour. (That caught my attention.) And after? Is the winner meant to be permanent? Is INXS giving themselves an "out" with JD? ETA: See Scorpiomoon's post above.

Yeah I agree Jasper, he went in totally focused on winning..not making friends He had some pretty cringe-worthy comments along the way..... But by far the best choice...IMHO Did not like Marty much but figure he made out great! Good for him. Felt real bad for MiG

Being from Canada, It was nice to see a Canadian win but honestly I was rooting for Mig or Marty. As soon as I heard Mig sing I knew he would be the one let go. Am very happy for Marty tho that they want him to tour with them. Really gonna miss this show, it was AWESOME! Hope to see Suzie again soon too. Can't wait for their tour, hopefully to a city near me...

Best Reality TV Show ever. What great performances all year long by so many of them. Heck the song of the year was probably by the 5th place finisher. I came in to the last show really neutral between Marty and JD as the best, but like Dave N, I loved Mig as a person. I think Andrew Farris made the decision that JD would be the best to collaborate with for Andrew's style of music and this was just a showcase, not part of the decision making. As to the performances (even though I don't think they played in to the final decision). Mig, sorry it was good but I truly liked Suzie's a lot better. JD, I thought you made a big mistake in picking a Stones song particularily that one. But that arrangement was absolutely terrific, one of my favorite Stones covers I've ever heard. Marty, it was good but one of my least favorite of your performances. There were at the very least two winners last night. I think this result was the best for both JD and Marty. Because I enjoy Marty's style of music more I am glad he will be free to go for it and not try to compromise a fit with Andrew.

i was amazed at the quality of the program last night. mark burnett definitely put on a show. the emotions of JD also told a huge story. from llkoolaid's intimate information (his family is not wealthy by any means), i know that this will hugely affect his family back in nova scotia. i congratulate INXS on a choice wisely made. JD will be a huge asset to their band. i will buy their CD in november, and plan on buying tickets to see them if they tour my area. this is the first time that someone from a reality show that i rooted for from the first episode made it to the end and won. JD grew tremendously in his time in the mansion, realizing that to become his dream, he had to be more than who he was going into the competition. CONGRATULATIONS JD AND INXS!

Well said Landi. I will also be buying an INXS album. Most of the contestants shined during this program. I found it a very positive experience especially the constructive criticism from the Band and the emotional support from Dave. Even though I was rooting for JD from the beginning, I wish all them all the best. One cannot feel sorry for Marty because he will have a great career in his genre. Mig already has a wonderful career. Jordis has a large fan base and so much potential - this will definitely open doors for her. I am hoping that someone releases Suzie album. Keeping my fingers crossed for her. Overall, it was the best reality show ever!
