I don't know, Jan! If they favored Tara why would they have her sing "New Sensation" the week before? I didn't think that was too great. Yet they had Wil, the one who needed to leave, do the inimitable "Need You Tonight," which guaranteed he'd go away! Hm.... I guess if Neal had won, he would eventually have had to sing "Suicide Blonde" because it was one of INXS's bigger hits so, why not have him sing it now.

I don't think it is a setup with the song choice because they already have final say as to which of the three they want gone and I am sure they base that on more than the performance of the last song. Though a stellar performance on the last song may save you if your were tied with someone else in their minds up to the last song (unlikely).

I see your point, Rabbit...I'll be more interested in the song choices when it gets harder to choose and the "losers" aren't so obvious!

I agree with you Kimmo, there are just a few more to go before it gets really tough, and then that final song might make a diff. I am assuming that every single singer is given one INXS song to practice each week in case the public puts them in the bottom three. I wonder if it is assigned or if they have some say in it.

I agree with Buggles and think JD did a classic foot in the mouth thing without even thinking how it sounded

I just don't see what everyone sees in Heather. She's just too screechy for me. Does anyone else think she reminds them of Nokomis from last year's Big Brother? Pink hair, tattoos, hmmmmm . . . wonder if she has a brother named Cowboy?

My favorite thing about Heather was her song choice way back in the first episode ("Burning Down the House"). And, yeah, I see the resemblence to Nakomis.

I haven't gotten into this show to a depth where I can discuss the actuall people/performances but I record the shows and watch/listen and I must say that while abilities and performances vary, at least I don't find myself wincing and holding my breath waiting for them to go off key and they all seem to have actual talent and stage presence (comparing to AI), so I enjoy the show.

Heather is actually one of my faves. Though I agree she does look like Nakomis' long lost sister (so to speak) What I don't get is all the drooling over Jordis. I mean, she's aiight, and sounds nice enough in her blog, but the band seems to think she's the coolest, most gorgeous thing they've ever seen. ... am I the only one baffled by this Daphna is my favorite female btw.

I think Jordis is possibly the most talented one there. I just love her look, her voice and her stage presence. I think she's one of the strongest competitors, though that's just my opinion!

'Dance' Dances Off With a Win The debut of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance may have received a drubbing from several critics, but it attracted more viewers than any other show Wednesday night. The two-hour dance contest drew a 5.5 rating and a 10 share in the 8:00 p.m. hour and a 7.0/12 in the 9:00. Not only did the show give Fox a lead in the overall ratings for the night, but it overwhelmed the competition in the 18-49-year-old demo. Meanwhile, CBS's summer reality series Rock Star: INXS tumbled to a new low, its 2.4/4 dropping the usual ratings leader into fourth place for the night. CBS staged a major comeback on Thursday, however, averaging a 7.9/14 for the night, more than second- and third-place finishers NBC and ABC produced combined. IMDb

I just don't understand why. I've never been heavily into rock music. But I watched and listened the first night and was hooked. The contest / judges with their comments are real as compared to other reality show contests. The music is good. I'm listening and enjoying it. I'd guess most TV viewers aren't even giving it a try.

In my area at the same time on Monday, I have Hell's Kitchen, the end of Summerland season, The Amazing Race (but that repeats at mindnight) and the Rock Star INXS show. Cam only record two at a time. On Tuesday it fits in ok but on Wednesday I have a logjam 8pm The Cut, Average Joe Strikes back (I know, but I started it), So You Think You Can Dance is from 8-9:30.. hadn't seen it yet but women at Curves all said it was good, 9pm new ep of Brat Camp 9:9:30 Rock Star, 9pm Amazing RAce (but again, can record that at midnight. Soon Survivor reruns start, too. I like THIS show but I'm sure for other people the scheduling is a problem. ANd Sadly, The Scholar, which was high quality and kind of uplifting, had lower ratings than this show.

Same here -- log jam programming. I can only record one program and watch another live. So though I started to watch, I have given up on The Cut and So You Want To Be a Hilton. If there was anything opposing it, I wouldn't watch Average Joe. I gave up on Hell's Kitchen 2 or 3 weeks ago. Can't take Ramsay. So You Think You Can Dance and Brat Camp are up against INXS for a half hour, so have to decide between Dance and Brat Camp. I wouldn't die if I missed either of those. Right now INXS and Big Brother are the two absolute "can't misses".

I could actually record two at once on my DVR, and go upstairs and watch a third program up there.. My only semi working VCR is hooked up to a TV with cable but no premium channels, etc.

LOL Jan from last page. Maritime boys kiss ass but it has to be a pretty ass. I think what JD said was truth to him and he wasn't trying to put others down, just sucking up. I cringed when he said what he did, I got his point totally and understood him not meaning to put them down but it came accross real bad and I thought for sure he was going to be toast and be in bottom 3 for it. The thing is when inxs said the rest of you are here to win a singing contest and JD here is to win an inxs contest, JD should have just shut his mouth but he is young and the compliment went to his head and he sounded like a little kid who wants to stretch the praise. Something like my daughter Hilary when she does something good and I praise her, for the rest of the day she will bring it up and ask did you really like it, did I really do good and then explain forever why she did what she did. It was a very immature action on JD's part but I think the others will drag it out as long as they can because all the praise JD is getting from INXS is making him a big threat to them. Anyway, I love this show. I think there is so much more talent here and they all seem to have great stage presence. Love it. There are some really good singers there.

Isn't anyone watching the Monday night episodes? Man, they didn't do JD any favors tonight. They made the guy look like an arrogant jerk. I kind of feel sorry these singers. On the Monday night show, they choose to focus in on one person and show how much they are struggling. And tonight, with JD, they showed a bit of drama along with his struggle. This puts extra pressure on him because, going into the Tuesday night show, the viewer/voter has a preconceived notion of how they feel about JD. If he doesn't blow the audience away and make them forget what they saw on the Monday night show, he's screwed. And every week they will take turns going through the exact same thing.

i think that they have ideas who they want to keep around, and try to edit the show to sway us to vote off the ones they want off(and on this show I dont blame them, since it is their band.) Like the first episdode.. They showed Suzi being a real jerk to Marty, so the vote was against her. Tonite the push did seem against JD, although the band seems to like him, so maybe his behavior was just so made for TV that the producers couldn't keep their cameras off him. I noticed that it was The Mig Show tonite.. He narrated everything, he showed emotion with his wife, he sang the hell out of JD's song. They made me take more notice of him, and like him more. I just can't remember what he has sung.. Maybe someone might want to take on the chore of posting a list of what everyone has sung so far, to help us keep track.. I think that they didn't want Neil because after listening to how much the HG's adore him, and realizing that we never saw any of that(he never spoke, and just imitated Mick Jagger everytime), that we would have probably voted more for him if they showed us the side the HG's saw. I am glad they are getting more vocally challenging and melodic songs, cuz my only problem was that there was too much scream singing and alot of them sounding the same, esp. the women. I don't like Jordis but don't know why. I think she is Angelina Jolie.. I think I like Daphna(was she the one who sang about her dad?? Her looks change so i cant remember). I liked Heather at first cuz she seemed the most down to earth, but i am tiring of her and her Larraine Newman look. I have liked Brad all along, but they didn't do him any favors tonite... The show is organized well, i think. But i am sick of Brooke's belly

btw, Hi Wink and Rabbit! Havent seen your antics for ages!! I just figured out the JD thing. Tonite INXS said they like confidence but not ego. They like JDs singing and confidence but arent happy with his ego, so they chose to have the producers show his crappy behaviors to get him into the bottom 3, so they can cut his ego down, and give him another chance to get it together with less ego..
