As I scroll down the Marty pictures, I tend to pause at a certain one.

Bb, could you please post a link? I went there but couldn't find a discussion on Rockstar. Thanks!

Never in a million years would I have ever thought I would hear a choir that sucked. But man oh man, the choir they had on tonight's show really, really, really sucked. Marty was awesome. Mig was awesome. Ty was superb. I love Jordis, but she underwhelmed me tonight. I wish J.D would get run over by a herd of hungry elephants. I can't stand him and wish he had been booted off ages ago. And I'm sorry. I wasn't as impressed with Suzie as INXS was. If it wasn't for the band and extra musicians, her performance would have been average at best. One thing that has always bothered me about the way the women dress is that they all over-accessorize. Rather than looking rocker-esque they just end up looking like a bunch of junior high school girls who are trying too hard. I want the house band to get their own reality show. It's been a pleasure listening to them each week.

Loved tonight's show -- everyone but J.D. and Jordis. Sorry, I just can't get past my dislike for that song although her voice was much better. Loved Susie's performance, also Marty's (my favorite), and Mig's. Loved the choir and the strings along with the house band. Hope Susie's fantastic performance doesn't outshine Marty's and keep him in the bottom three. He doesn't belong there. Ty was good too. The show just keeps getting better and better. I think Jordis has had some cosmetic dental work done this past week. Her teeth looked so much better. They are rockers and the fans expect them to dress like rockers, not lawyers. The guys can wear some wild stuff too but we wouldn't want them any other way. I would put J.D., Ty, and Jordis in the bottom three.

They are rockers and the fans expect them to dress like rockers, not lawyers. Who said anything about them dressing like lawyers? And I don't think their fans expect anything when it comes to their choice of clothes. These people are being dresses by a stylist who was clearly instructed by the producers to make them look the part--not dress them as the fans have requested. "Rocker" isn't a synonym for "overkill". P.S: Hummingbird: Have you learned how to post a link yet by any chance? Still working on it?

I'd hate to get killed in this thread, but my bottom three, for tonight only, would be J.D., Ty, and Marty. I think that Suzie made a mistake or two, vocally, but the parts of her performance that were good, were really, really good. I agree with Scorpiomoon about the accesorization, though. It doesn't stike me as rockerish, at all.

I thought tonight's show was VERY good!! My fav was Mig and thought Marty and Suzie were close seconds. Am going to be sad when this show ends. Quite enjoyable!

IMO tonight: Ty did a good job with the song (I wasn't that crazy about the particular choir that they chose. I've heard much better choirs than that.) Mig also did a good job on his song, but I don't think it was one of his stronger performances on the show. He's pretty charismatic, so I think he can tend to make any song he does come across okay. Marty did a great job on the Pink Floyd song. I guess that's a favorite of a lot of people's, but to be honest I've never been a Pink Floyd fan. Tonight was the first time I've even listened to that song all the way through...and I did find it enjoyable and even touching. Glad to see that Marty did show that other side of his vocals. I know INXS like it better. I rather enjoy it too! I didn't really enjoy Jordis's performance. (I also have never been a big fan of "Imagine" either as a few of you mentioned on here already.) She looked like she was almost smiling throughout the performance. I know it's supposed to have a positive message...but the mood of the song doesn't seem "smiley" to me. JD did an "okay" job with his song, but I didn't think it was anything outstanding. I laughed when he talked about being an Elvis impersonator. I was wondering if he was going to "cheese" it up..but he managed to keep that fairly under control. He still doesn't seem like the real thing to me though. I still get the feeling INXS does like him. They make kind of cryptic comments to him, like tonight about the studio session. They take something I might see as a negative and turn it around to a positive. Maybe they want to humor him a little so that he won't stalk them if they decide not to choose him! Suzie did a pretty good job with a difficult song. There were a few notes that didn't sound quite right to me, but overall I think she pulled it off. I would not rave about it as much as INXS did. They sounded ready to give her the job tonight. Maybe they will decide to go in a different direction with a female after all. I'd like to see JD or Jordis go tomorrow, but I have a feeling it might be Ty for some reason. I hope it's not Marty yet! My votes tonight went to Marty. I'm going to give him a couple more now before calling it a night.

My bottom three for tonight were Ty, JD, and Marty (even though I loved what Marty did with that song). It was really tough for me to pick three. I think, unfortunately, that Ty will go tonight. I hope it's JD, but INXS really seems to like him and his drama ...

I love reading all your posts... it's so interesting to see how everyone likes different people for different reasons. I thought that Jordis was lousy tonight, but I thought that Ty was even worse... I've heard better karaoke nights at the local watering hole. Though I've never voted before, tonight I voted 100 times... 50 for JD and 50 for Suzie. Gotta keep those Canadians in the top 3!!! As an aside, I think that Mig will win the entire competition.

Good show! I didn't really like what Ty did with his song...I felt like he went so far into the gospel side that he forgot what the song was about. Jordis does not seem to know what any song she sings means, she has a beautiful voice but everything she does seems so shallow. I thought sitting up there with the guitar was silly and was glad Kirk questioned her about doing that! I always thought JD sounded a little Elvis-y and now we know why! I wish I could be there in person to see how amazing his stage presence is-- On TV I think it just seems cheesy. I still like him but I didn't think he made the song his own. I've never been into Pink Floyd but really enjoyed what Marty did with his song....That was so sweet what Garry said about what the song meant to him. Suzie was good! I actually found MiG's performance a little scary-- Squeaking by in some parts and then overdoing it with the yelling/singing during the instrumental parts, and then it looked like he almost fell over in the middle of the song. He seemed out of control, but then early on INXS said they wanted to see him lose control! I think my bottom three are Ty, Jordis and JD. Well, I'm torn between JD and Marty-- I think Marty did better than JD but didn't think he showed what he had to offer as a member of INXS. P.S. - On TwoP, when they say "OB," it's for Our Band as in "Our Band: INXS."...Usually the MiG Central Rock Star Forum has spoilers that are not buried in 100s of posts like at TwoP, but I didn't see any spoiler for tomorrow night like there was for last Wednesday....

Ack! My MiG Central link is to the current spoilers link (ostensibly for Wed's show, but nothing is posted there of import right now). I meant to just link to the main Rock Star forum. Sorry!

I am in the minority here because I liked JD tonight. He sang well and put on a great performance. I love "Imagine" but I have heard many people sing it well so I was not impressed with Jordis tonight. Do you think Suzy will get the encore two weeks in a row? I always like Ty's voice but I just can't deal with the visual. He ain't pretty to look at. Mig was my least favorite tonight but probably because I don't like that song. I'm not sure who the bottom 3 will be but I think Ty will be leaving.

Scorpiomoon, sometimes I feel like you are "baiting" me. No I have no idea how to post links. I got my computer in the mail in boxes and have learned everything from the instruction book that came with it or through trial and error over several years. I live in the boonies and there is nowhere local to take a class. I drove to Lexington a couple of years ago for a class and learned some new information but mostly stuff I already knew. Posting links never came up. Back to the show -- Professional stylists hired to make them look like rockers, I presume. I like the over the top look in rock. I also have always liked Pink Floyd so Marty's song sonded good to me. Agree with Kady about Ty's looks -- he loses me with the mohawk.

My picks for the bottom three are Ty, JD, and Suzie. I loved Suzie's performance on the INXS song in the studio, but I really didn't like her performance last night. DS and I felt that if she didn't have all the back-up singers and extra instruments, it would have been a flop. JD - something about him that I just gotta love, but his performance plus his behavior surrounding the studio time/INXS song was not cool. Ty - I think he's a great guy with a great voice but he is just not right for our band INXS. He, like Jordis, smiles too much during his performances. Of the three, I would like to see JD go. Mig's performance was also off in my opinion. He was pitchy in places and just didn't seem comfortable. Overall, I love him and think he probably will win. Jordis, as others have said, has a lovely voice. I would buy her CD. I agree, though, that she doesn't seem to have a connection with the songs. As long as nothing happens to my Marty, we're good to go. He makes my toes curl and that is such a good thing!

i just watched Mig's performance from last night--our sound went out on our tv upstairs and by the time i got downstairs, he was almost done. anyway, i heard how he sang and squeaked through the instrumental parts. although that last note was amazing. has anyone been able to watch suzie's performance from last night? i can't get it to play on my computer, although the other ones come through. i hope CBS or whoever fixes. that is one i want to see again

i love it when you guys say someone is not right 'for our band inxs'! It's my daily smile and i will keep saying it forever... I don't get why they liked Suzie at all tonite..She was great the last two weeks but i thought that she was very mild, even weak. The song deserves much much more. she was just trying to get by and get the melody and words without having anything left to be able to push it to where it needs to go. I reeely wanted them to say, hey mig, why don't you give it a try? The band, orch. etc was great tho. But singing wise, I sang that song in a college choral group with one person soloing and us in background and he was better than she was... As a matter of fact, i think they should have a week where they all get to pick any song that has been done by anyone else and try to top it. It would be a good comparison study and then i get to hear mig sing it... Speaking of Mig, I love him and want him or Marty to win, but when he sings i get all worried, esp on power songs cuz he is always the closest to losing pitch of anyone and i never feel confident of what is going to come out of his mouth style wise but he does always seem to pull it off ok, and hes just so dam likeable. I still worry that he won't make it cuz he doesnt have enuf ego or angst to be right for our band inxs, or be a rock star in general. I thought Jordis has a nice voice and loved the "today, aye, aye" notes at the end of the chorus each time, but otherwise underwhelming was a good choice of word, nicer than saying boring, and yes, too smiley.. innapropriate facial expression. Ty- i think he mugs for the camera way worse than constantine even ever did. He still seems so fake when he sings despite that you all keep telling me he is nice. Hubby says he's the most calculated performer he has ever seen. And his rendition of the song just wasnt that good or vocally his strongest last nite. and yes, the chorus was not used well at all, esp in that song. (i did love them when they fraggled away during suzies song like a bunch of happy muppets) Marty.. This guy excites me every week now.. (and i dont mean his pics, although they are pleasant..) He just brings something really moving and interesting to his songs that brings moments that TV is worth watching.. I too, don't like his screaming as much as his soft side. I do love tho that we get to see an angry angsty rocker show his soft side on this show. Its not often in life that you get to see that... on tv or otherwise..I think he just needs more confidence in the softer melodic side of him.(this feels like a Sears commercial for the softer side of Marty).. I cant believe he keeps showing up in the bottom three.. We all love him.. Why is he struggling with the rest of the country?? I forgot JD.. I think i will just leave it at that... hope his ego says bye bye soon. although his voice is pleasant, and he has talent and he is from canada, but otherwise he acts like he is bono or springsteen and its just icky when he does it.. i hope top 2 is mig and marty(i am afraid if he is voted down again that inxs will have doubts about him, altho it hasnt phased them on suzie) and bottom 4 is jd, jordis, ty, and suzie... I dont know who i want for my third in top 3, prob. suzie, except i am mad that she was deluded and thought she should do Boh. Rhap. and i still hold it against her for bashing Marty the first week.. She did well on the recording session tho., very well... this is so long i wonder if anyone will even read it... oh well, i guess after taking FIL for a rootcanal today on 2 hours sleep, and having a root canal myself a few days ago, i am one big rambling sentence.. ok, quick question.. Who watches inxs and bb and finds their thoughts more on the inxsers than the Hgs?? i do...

I do donut. I actually dream about their performances on INXS and cringe at the thought of someone in the FS winning. Tuesdays have been pretty booked this summer Work - Gym - supper- CI - BB - ROCKSTAR!!! Hard to sleep after that high.
