I didn't start watching this until a few shows into it, but have really become hooked. This is the first show of this type I have ever watched. I liked Mig at first, but his past few performances have just not done anything for me. To me he just doesn't add enough to INXS. And Suzie wasn't doing so well for awhile, and then REALLY came through, I thought. I think she would have fit in with INXS. But maybe they thought she couldn't keep it up to that level forever. J.D. and Marty are my favorites. I catch myself singing 'Trees' at odd times throughout my day. He and J.D. are so 'watchable' to me. Their performances are always something to pay close attention to. I think I like Marty's style a little more, but I just don't think that he fits with INXS as well as J.D. does. And while I LIKE J.D., he seems a little ...'calculating' to me. At times, parts of his performances seem almost..'posed' or something. It's hard to put into words...like he is a little unsure and has to gauge reactions to decide whether to... say,...throw the microphone, knock over the stand, or kiss Dave's cheek. Things like that. It just seems a little awkward or something to me. But that being said, out of the final three, I think he should win it, and I'll be happy if he does.

I think that JD will win and would love to see Marty and Dave N. start a band together. A win-win situation for all.

Colordeagua - a few weeks ago I thought Mig was a shoe-in. Now I'm not so sure - OB has been critical of his theatrical background and I don't think his performances have been as good; in some ways he peaked too early. The more I think about it, even though I like all the final four competitors and think they each have their individual strengths and weaknesses, I don't think any of them are right for OB INXS!

Yes, Annie, as in "Sorry, _____, you're just not right for our band INXS." I love Mig but no longer feel he's right for INXS. When he does a hard rock song, I get the feeling he's a pop singer pretending to be a rocker. His talent would fit better with a different band. I think the winner will be JD. He should be able to get them on the charts again, if anyone can. Marty should be signed by a major label already. He rocks. I would prefer to see him fronting a younger band that likes his favorite style of music. I loved seeing Suzie's growth through the competition and hope she has musical success in her future, too.

wow, this thread really changed. It used to be mig and marty and not jd at all...i still want mig or marty WAY over JD. he is just too full of himself and his voice is just to mimicky of other singers... i just watched an old tape of AI,of Constantine singing the Nickleback song... He is the most right for OBINX. Even hubby who hated him then, liked it now and agreed. He has the voice, the charisma and the true rock style. And it was interesting, to see him just sing in a simple way.. none of the dramatics and lying on the floor stuff and crazy clothes... It looks so simple and pure now in retrospect... If you have it on and old tape somewhere, its interesting to compare and contrast.... I think that INXS would have a hard time spending the next twenty years with JD, and Migs voice isnt right and Marty is brilliant but too strange for them.. too bad they cant beam themselves to the old AI shows... and get the guy that was right for OBINXS... btw, today on local school cable, i heard a bunch of inxs songs!! i didnt realize how much better michael hutchins was at singing than any of them!

Good morning all!! I normally lurk-at-work, but cannot post there. So I'm taking this opportunity on my day off to express a little loooove for JD!! I just replayed (like for the zillinth time) "By My Side". Unbelievable performance. I didn't know INXS or their music, and, frankly, listening to the bottom 3 renditions all through this season, I kept asking friends if their songs really sucked or if the performances just made them sound that way. JD made me an instant INXS fan with that performance. I'm looking forward to buying their cds and, maybe some day they will do a concert locally.

JD's blog makes for interesting reading. Worth checking out. Still want to know what OB means.

Has anyone heard anything about this series being released on DVD? I know that they have a CD available and are talking about a tour in the future.

Well, I started out being a Mig fan, but do agree that he peaked early and is just too "pop-py" for OB: INXS (I almost typed "poopy" lol). JD scares me. When he was singing the INXS song the other night, he sounded like Elvis (can't get past the Elvis impersonation thing). I think Marty is now my favorite. He just has a lot of charisma. It cracks me up to hear everyone talk about where this band will be in 20 years. My answer? An "assisted living" facility? P.S. Why would anybody care whether the winner is American, Canadian or Australian? I just want to see the person win who is "the best fit for OB, INXS!"

One of things I don't like about JD is how he brown noses INXS so much, gushing on about how much he is a fan. He may be sincere, but it seems so manipulative.

Don't cry, Donut! You're not alone there. I just turned 50 in August (Ack!!!). But I have a 5-year-old, so a lot of people think I'm younger than I am. I just can't see OB INXS still rocking it in their 70's, but who knows? Look at Mick & company!

I'm definitely not a JD fan. I really liked Mig but not sure he's a good fit. I like Marty, though I wonder if he's too "hard" for INXS. If either "M" wins, I'll be happy.

Marty is still my favorite, though I still don't think OB will choose him. I have to watch tonight's episode yet. I taped it because I had the Emmys on. Glad I'm not alone about the "assisted living" facility. I may be living in a unit in the same complex with them if that's the case! I'm around the same age range as the INXS guys, and yes...I still want to think I'll be rockin' as long as I'm still standing!! Can't wait to see U2 this Tues. and Wed. night!! I'm so psyched!!! BTW, is there any place at the TVCH where music is discussed? Is there a thread somewhere for that? I asked on the BB chat thread, but no one replied. Thought maybe since people here at the RockStar thread seem to like music you might know. Thanks for any replies.

you can always discuss anything in the "general discussion" area. this gives everyone a chance to contribute. every now and then someone starts a different music thread. i am one of the few here at tvch, but i am loud. GO JD!!!

There is a "What's In Your Stereo" thread in the General Discussion area........ Offtopic - I am going to see The Eagles this Saturday at Staples Center in L.A. I can barely contain myself. If no one likes them you will not hurt my feelings. LOL. I have been chasing Eagles tickets since they started their "comeback" tours... when Hell froze over. Ontopic - I watched tonight's Rockstar and feel like they hung the suspense card over J.D.'s lack of preparation in the songwriting segment. I really think he's right for our band: INXS, but they have me hanging by my fingernails....

Loved the show tonight. Unfortunately even though they continue to show JD being unprepared and cocky as heck he may win this ... that's okay, though, cuz Marty and MiG will be just fine. Marty may just come out better without the band.

Ladytex - I think Marty will come out better without the band. He has the Lovehammers and his unique style. And such a huge fan base now. I really love Mig, but like others here, have felt his performances might be too "pop" for the dark side of our band: INXS.

MiG's original song was horrid IMO. Sort of like a bad Andrew-lloyd weber(sp) song. From what I saw of tonight - this was equally bad. He's out for sure. Even Marty thought he'd be out last week before Suzie.
