One of my favorite podcasts is a show called The Rock and Roll Geek Show. Last week, the host, Michael Butler, did an interview with Tim Farriss. It's quite interesting to listen to Tim give insight into the show and how he feels about the various singers, etc. Here is the Rock and Roll Geek Show Web site. Or, if you want to listen to the show directly, just click on this link. Warning: Michael isn't the greatest interviewer and he can come across as not exactly the smartest cookie in the jar, but if you can get passed all of that, listening to what Tim Farriss has to say makes the interview worthwhile.

JD should def. have been voted off! i was so pissed when Heather and Daphna had to leave. It pisses me off that the voters didn't think JD should go, considering the fact that he couldn't even hit the notes in "we are the champions"

quote:" who is right for our band INXS!! , the way they always say that on the show. It always strikes me funny
My dh and I always snicker over that "sorry you are not right for our band, INXS" they must get some sort of royalty each time they say the name!

Thanks for the link, Scorpiomoon! I love Tim! It was very interesting hearing how the show came about and that they are writing music for the album the winner will perform on? I'm listening again because I missed alot the first time around. Bbfan, I couldn't find any Marty Casey fansites. There's just a site for The Lovehammers, I haven't looked at it yet....

This is their big chance to imprint INXS into everyone's subconscious!!! That way when a CD finally comes out our inner-self will say "MUST BUY INXS!! It's becoming a hypnotic suggestion to the audience!

Looks like it was Brandon's turn to be raked over the coals. I just love how every, single time JD proves to everyone what a sleazy opportunist he is it is shown on the Monday night shows.

I was glad to see them feature Marty a little bit tonight. He seems like a pretty grounded guy. Did Mig actually choose "We Are the Champions"? He was appearing in a Queen musical wasn't he? Sounds like it would be right up his ally. Deanna was really struggling tonight. She also looked as though she wasn't really feeling well or something. I can see Deanna and Brandon being gone soon unless they improve. JD might redeem myself if he does well with "The Letter." (Gosh, I felt old when some of them didn't even know what that song was. Well, it was after my time too, but I still know the song!) I still think JD has more wannabe "reality actor" in him than the others as witnessed by his song exchange with Suzie tonight! Looking forward to see how they do with the songs tomorrow night.

I am now wondering about Brandon-- In the podcast Scorpiomoon mentioned earlier, Tim said that he did not want Brandon or Deanna at first but they grew on them. Well, he said that mostly about Brandon! Then the vocal coach tonight said that Brandon had the greatest range and basically the best voice, and if he could just control it a little he'd be on a completely different level? Yet it doesn't seem like Brandon can keep control.... I don't like how JD is treating this so much like a reality show, but then it is a reality show, so who can blame him? As Marty got to see his sister, I wondered if JD got to see his sister at all outside of his messed-up performance last week! I thought he sounded good practicing "The Letter." Kc, I laughed when some of them asked, "Is that from the 50s?" I know that is only a decade off the mark, but gee. So if you don't know a song, is it from the 50s? The Queen song this week was "We Will Rock You," MiG was Galileo in the musical of the same name! That was too bad for Deanna, having the vocal coach basically tell her, "You have a damaged voice that is only getting worse with age," yikes! I thought Jessica sounded okay singing "Blister in the Sun," it sounded better than what she sang last week.... I am still kind of wondering how INXS picks the songs the rockers have to choose from. Just to see who picks the good ones? I would have thought they'd pick mostly ones with an "INXSy" sound, bluesy/funky/pop/rock sound, and some of them do (I can see why they picked "The Letter") but why "Everlong" or "Blister in the Sun"? Oh well...

Oops..."We Will Rock You" I meant! How did "We Are the Champions" get in my head?? LOL It would be interesting to see the process they used for the song choices. I'm sure getting the rights to use them played into it. I'm sure that INXS picked some of their favorite artists and/or people that they respect(i.e. The Clash, REM, Hendrix, etc.) I thought it was interesting that there was a Beatles tune in the mix tonight. I'm still waiting for my fav band to show up...U2!

Yet it doesn't seem like Brandon can keep control.... The thing that bothered me about Brandon was his "in one ear and out the other" comment about the advice he was given. I mean geez, when you're auditioning for a band it's hardly the time to have a big ego and not grasp on to any opportunity you get to improve. It's not that Brandon can't keep control of his voice; it's that he doesn't want to because Brandon thinks the non-control is his "style" and he doesn't want to change. Oh well. Bye, bye, Brandon.

Jessica is really starting to impress me. I thought she was one of the worst for a few weeks there, but now I'm thinking she could probably do INXS songs better than most of the rest. What exactly did they mean wrt the voice being unfixable after the age of 35?? I am 33 and am trying to learn how to sing. Is this another clock I have ticking?

I think they say "you're not right for our band, INXS" becuase this is the first in what Mark Burnett hoped would be a series ... next season they would said "You're not right for our band, The Rolling Stones" or whatever. With the ratings, though, I don't know if there will be another. A shame really ... MB's last two efforts "RockStar:INXS" and "The Contender" have been awesome! Why isn't anyone watching! --------- Does JD think that the band will find his slimy song trade endearing? I doubt they would ... shows character of a super self-centered person, in my opinion.

I'm looking forward to Brandon leaving-- I am just wondering if he is the type of person who literally does not have the focus to retain information (like how to sing, or lyrics to songs)-- He didn't seem like an arrogant "I'm a natural vocal stylist!" type person to me, he just seemed like he didn't get it. Which is too bad since he is the one who was most vociferous about how doing one little thing wrong could make him go home!

I liked Marty last week, and even though Dave liked it, I didn't like his singing this week ...

So far tonight my least favorite performances have been by Deanna and Ty. Still don't care for Jessica's voice, but at least give her props for trying her best on that song. I thought Brandon did a good job with his song. I don't get the feeling INXS still has any interest in him from their comments.
