do they get to pick the songs they sing? or do they have to only sing what INXS says they have to?

I got the impression the very first song that they did was their choice. At the end of the first show, they had a board with songs that were already picked and they all had to decide amongst themselves who would do what. For the final three comp. INXS told them which song to sing. Don't know if the show will continue to follow that route or not. Guess we'll have to see. I think they're reshowing 2 episodes Sat. night after Big Brother this weekend.

While I am really impressed with most of these people.... NONE of them can hold a candle to Michael Hutchence. Its sad. (And no, I wasn't a huge fan... but it makes me realize what a talent he was)

Did anybody watch the half-hour episode last night? Felt like a "filler" episode. Nothing much happened, except they drank some more and picked their songs for tonight. They showed some of the rehearsals with the house band, which was interesting. Tonight should be good!

I did. I am so impressed with how intelligent this show is, how they are treating the contestants as if they are intelligent too. I think the instruction Dave Navarro and the house band are giving them is just so smart. There is no talking down to anyone just for tv.

I saw an interview with Dave Navarro and he said that they are separating the competition nights from the other shows. This way, you get to see how they are in down time. The band has to live with the winner, so they have to match on a personal level as well as on stage.

This is my favorite show running right now. Love the music. The House Band is great. Only a couple of easy cuts for me and then it gets tough.

I am enjoying the show. My whole life -- I've been "behind" on music -- way behind?. Can anyone recommend what they think is the best INXS CD with Michael Hutchence?

Last week I voted for Mig. This week I voted for Marty; though I thought Mig did a pretty good job with the Aerosmith song after being worried. I sort of liked JD again too. I thought Suzie actually was about the strongest with her song of the women this week. I bet that Deena (?) was sorry that she decided to be a good sport and take the REM song. I would not be surprised if she's in the bottom three this week.

I don't remember the first guy's name but he's the one that reminds me of Tom Petty.

Marty, from Chicago, was the first guy tonight. He sang "What I Like About You" tonight. Still one of my favorite songs from the '80's!

I loved JD!! I wonder how his little comment is going to go over with the fans and other performers!

I'm a Jordis fan too. She has her own style, a great voice and I want her to win also.

'Rock Star' Is More Rock Than Star Apparently not many viewers care a hoot about who will replace Michael Hutchence as the frontman of the Australian band INXS. The reality show Rock Star: INXS, was the lowest-rated show in the CBS lineup Monday night, despite the fact that every other show was a rerun. Rock Star scored a 3.9 rating and a 6 share, a precipitous drop from the 6.3/10 garnered by its lead-in, Two and a Half Men. Nevertheless, CBS remained well ahead of its rivals on Sunday averaging a 5.6/9 versus a 3.9/7 for both NBC and Fox, which tied for second with a 3.9/7 and ABC with a 3.6/6. IMDb

I like JD as well, but have visions of all the rest of the contestants being really po'd after his comment. Ty really looked stung by the comments, I felt sorry for him but wasn't too keen on his version of that Killers song. Mig reminds me of William Dafoe. He was the best for me last night, Marty was good as well and Brandon certainly sang Sweet Home better with a band (I agree, a great house band) If Jessica is the bottom three I say she is a goner. She will not be right for their band, INXS.

i liked jordis, jd, brandon, mig, and suzie. i did not care for tara, ty, jessica, or neal. i hope he's the one who goes. i also agree that i doubt that INXS would pick a woman.

Jordis continues to be my favorite and I liked Heather again last night too. I though Ty gave a spirited performance but looked shocked that Dave and INXS has some criticisms. JD was much more palatable to me this week until he made that stupid comment at the end. JD, stick to singing and enough with the ass kissing. I thought Daphna did well with Joan's song and I was pleasantly surprised by Suzie's Roxanne, which I thought would be a train wreck for sure. Same with Jessica doing Purple Haze, I thought it was going to be a disaster. Dave didn't seem to enjoy it as much as I did though. My two least favorite performers of the night were Tara and Neal. I had the turn the volume WAY down on Neal. He was singing 69 too high. And then he thought he rocked. Ummmm, no you di'int!
