I completely love Ty, but I think I understand what INXS doesn't like about him. He gets all the attention and isn't about the "band." Except, does anyone remember anyone in the band but Michael Hutchence before this show? Ty has such an amazing voice they would be foolish to get rid of him. I just can't fathom a female lead singer of INXS. Some of the girls are growing on me, like Jordana, but not for this band. She is a great singer but INXS is a guy-rock band. The songs always made me want to jump Michael Hutchence's bones. This would not work with a girl.

I love Ty, too. I completely understand, however, where the band is coming from. Ty needs a solo rock career. The band doesn't want to be overlooked again.

While I believe they will probably pick a male there might be a big advantage to picking a female. During last weeks elimination when Susie sang her version of an INXS classic, it had hit potential and though the same song it didn't sound like the original release with MH doing the vocals. If they picked a female they could re-release their old catalog of grade A songs with the potential of getting airtime on new release radio. If they pick a male, their old catalog will probably be viewed as Classic and get no contemporary air play.

Neal should go next. Poor vocals, weak Rolling Stones imitator. Liked a bunch of them, JD being one of my favorites until he kissed ass and probably alienated the band, the fans and certainly the other contestants. Don't they teach proper ass kissing in Canadian schools? sheesh. Brandon has done three straight songs that Bo Bice performed during AI and came up short on all three. If I were INXS I would not want a Faux Baux right after AI.

I was thinking today that they may want to have a female to kinda go in a different direction and it's such a far cry from their old lead singer that there won't be too much comparison.

I agree with a lot of your comments here. Although Ty did look upset by the band's comments, I think they were right on the money. Dave asked him about theater, and I can definitely hear that in him. He'd be great on Broadway. I also agree that he seems more like a solo performer than a band member. I've also grown to like JD more each week. However, when he made that last comment to INXS last night I think I gasped out loud. I do not think that will go over at all with the band, the other singers, and some of the voting public. When INXS said that he seemed to have his eyes on the prize, he should have said a polite "thank you" or "I'm glad that you can see that." Something simple and more unassuming! LOL

Has Ty said what he really wants to do is sing rock / lead a rock band? If not, he's just trying to break into big-time show biz however he can. Maybe he's good at everything generally, but INXS band members can tell that rock is not his only background and ultimately may not be what he excels at.

Here is Ty's bio: It sounds like he's broken into the business a little bit already....Is the show mentioned, the same show Mig was in? I love this show!! I can't believe the low ratings it's getting. I'm hoping Neal, Tara and Jessica are in the bottom 3. It is so cruel (for both performers and listeners) to have the bottom 3 sing INXS songs-- The last people you'd want to sing them! I wonder what Neal will sound like? Ugh. Have him sing a ballad like "By My Side" to be more "melodic" and make us suffer! Color, I saw you asked what good INXS albums there were-- They all feature Michael Hutchence and I think the only songs they have performed are from "Kick" so far. You could start with "Kick" and pick anything from the middle of their discography and probably like it. Maybe not the first or last two albums?

If this was on tonight I missed it, does anyone know who the bottom three were and who went home?

Jasper, Neal, Jessica and Tara were the bottom 3. Neal went home. I was surprised Deanna wasn't in the bottom 3 after her miserable attitude about performing The One I Love. I know I wasn't impressed, but I've got no problem with Neal going home. The boy really can't sing.

thanks Flamingo, most appreciated. That would have been my bottom three and I have no problem with Neal going, he didn't really carry off melodic, although like Color, I can't sing either.

I JD I think you guys should cut him a bit of slack on his comment. My jaw fell open too, but you know, it was totally on the fly. He did try to soften it and say he meant no disrespect to the others. I think he was just trying to tell the band that he is a true fan, which IMO is fair and good for them to know. I am sure if he had a minute to think he would have worded it more diplomatically. I wouldn't blame the others for being pissed though Especially since I can't imagine that he is the ONLY INXS fan....... SOMEONE else in the group has to know a song or two

I'm glad Neal's gone! I didn't get to see the show, what INXS songs did they do (besides "Don't Change")? Buggles, I didn't think JD's comment was so horrible, either....I wondered if he really meant it or was just being smarmy, but I think he seems smart enough to know that he shouldn't say something like that if he doesn't mean it. I just finished reading the remaining bios and JD's is the only one that states that he is a "hardcore INXS fan" --I had thought he was much younger and couldn't understand how he could be a big fan but at 31, I could see how he could have been a big INXS fan. I can't imagine that anyone in their early to mid 20s would be a fan since INXS have not had a hit for over 10 years. MiG and Ty *were* in the same show....They also have blogs on the MSN site, it's nice seeing how they write since I assume the new frontperson would be the main lyricist (as Michael was). I'm just posting a link to MiG's blog so you can link to others listed in the corner. I like JD, Marty and MiG's blogs best! And Daphna's. I started out liking INXS when I was 14, so you can see I'm regressing with obsessive babbling! Oh well...

Kimmo thanks for the link to the blogs. I just finished reading JD's BLOG (he is quite lyrical, isn't he) and then SUZIE's. Suzie had this to say about JD:
JD's comment at the end of his performance really shook people up a bit, and I wonder if that kind of attitude will affect what the world thinks of him. I didn't really have a problem with it because I have confidence in who I am and someone else's bad taste doesn't really affect me.

Jan, I hope by "bad taste" Suzie didn't mean JD's taste in music! Well, of course she didn't. Daphna had some interesting things to say about JD in her blog, too. I think JD is purposely trying to show how lyrical he is in his blog!

Sorry, I'm just blabbing on-- I just read the recap, and they had Neal sing "Suicide Blonde" (X), Tara did "Mystify" (Kick) and Jessica did "Don't Change" (Shabooh Shoobah)? That doesn't seem fair, it is really obvious that Neal would do his Mick Jagger impersonation with a song like that. But, I wanted him to go anyway, so oh well! It would be easy to seem "just INXS" with "Mystify" since it just sounds like a pretty traditional bluesy rock song (it's not metal and it's not country, either)...Oh well. I'm going to stop now, I think I'm embarrassing myself

Kimmo, so you think INXS are sort of handing out songs to influence who does well and who does not in the elimination 3???
