Rabbit, you understood my thoughts and feelings EXACTLY on the sheet music and how it related to Andrew Farriss and INXS!

I'd been leaning towards Marty for a while but JD blew me away last nite. wow. it has been inspiring watching him struggle and grow and persevere in this comp. he is a true creative talent. his vocal tone and style are also such a fit for inxs its almost eerie.

It's funny, I had a different take on the sheet music given to J.D. by INXS. I kept thinking of the previous week where they were supposed to sing an original song and J.D. sang Pretty Vegas. J.D. only wrote the lyrics to the song, but didn't write the melody...like all the others did. Seemed like he was trying to just find another angle to exploit...again...and INXS wanted to remind him of who was the half of the music. If J.D. wins this thing I will be very disappointed. He's the most manipulative of the contestants and the least likable. I pray they don't pick him.

I am hooked on Mig and Suzie...loved Mig's Kiss from a rose last night. With that said tho, I wouldn't be surprised to see J.D. win this. He is a good singer and all but is not my pick for a win.

This show is just so great - the talent and production values, and that hot House Band! I will miss it so much after next week. J.D. was not my pick to win it in the beginning, but I have always liked his voice and the songs he arranged himself. I think he peaked at the right time and has all the momentum to be "right for our band: INXS". When he did Dirty Vegas last night, even though we had already seen it performed twice and I have downloaded it and listen to it constantly - I muted the BB feeds right in the middle of the HOH endurance comp so I could watch & listen to JD and that incredibly GREAT song. "Thumbin' your way to Vegas Dirty and dreamin' like your out of control Save your tears and laughter Because this is the ride And this is the show.... "

I thought this show would be another American Idol wanna be - boy have I been pleasantly surprised! I adore AI but this show is different in a most enjoyable way. The 4 remaining folks are all so talented. My orig. fav. was Mig but has been Marty ever since he made that Britney Spears music to my ears. I don't care for Britney's style, voice or whatever so this was great. IMO Marty has listened to INXS & it shows (they know it). I think he has a great chance at this. JD really got me toe tappin last night. I usually don't care too much for him though. Suzie is a great talent & needs to front that house band. I still like Mig & think being an Ausie might be a + for him with INXS. Can't wait for the show tonight to hear more great tunes.

from the http://rockstar.msn.com website:
quote:Returning to the other three, J.D. proclaims he has no regrets about his session. He also opens up the envelope from Tim, which contains a letter from the band and the sheet music for the songs INXS want J.D. to perform this week. J.D. will get to sing his original song, "Pretty Vegas," for a third time (he's especially pleased to see the "written by Andrew Farris and J.D. Fortune" credit) and Pink Floyd's top-20 hit, "Money."

My DH is an Aussie and from the first week his pick was Mig, for obvious reasons. Mig is a great talent, but DH has been right there with me adoring Jordis and Suzie, too. I have been feeling JD's momentum so I might have to brace DH that his countryman might not be fronting INXS. I really think "Pretty Vegas" sealed the deal for JD (I think it did for me). Marty has been doing a great job, and I agree with you Texasdeb - he did an awesome job on "Hit Me Baby"! And "Wish You Were Here" - unreal. From a "cup of tea" point of view, Marty isn't for me, but there is just no denying how talented they all are.

I definitely noticed Mig's leather pants and was amazed at how tight and low cut they were. Personally, they didn't do it for me. I was worried there for minute that he would be the one to go tonight. I bet JD wins this gig.

Producerchic! You were NOT supposed to tell me Suzie left. You were supposed to tell me JD left! Gosh dang it! I so wanted the F3 to be Suzie, Mig, and Marty. Well, at least Mig got to sing an INXS song tonight. I'll be really disappointed if JD wins. Yeah, I think "Pretty Vegas" is catchy, but half the reason is the music (which he did not write). And I agree with whomever it was above who said he's manipulative. I think INXS may regret their choice if they end up with him. I do not think they'll have an easy time of it, and I think his ego will cause a lot of problems. I really do think Suzie has the best voice. If you listen to some of her songs without watching the performance, she's got a true voice. Mig has a lot of charisma, though. And Marty? Well, the scary conductor routine has really grown on me. And I do love his voice, too.

Scorpio, I agree with you on Mig....think I'm in love...lol Was very sad to see Suzie go, has been a fav of mine right next to Mig. I think Marty is pretty awesome too. Really hoping Mig takes this, did a great job on INXS song but I'll be happy with anyone but J.D.

Sorry Costa... Suzie was one of my faves as well (with Marty being the other one)... I too was hoping JD would be shown the door tonight.

The look on JD's face when he thought he was going.... I hope next week there's good reason for it.

Still have to say I'm rooting for Marty overall, but don't think he'll get the gig. Hopefully with the exposure, and fanbase, he seemed to have built from the show good things will come his way in the future. I know that I will definitely watch for his future projects. Mig did a good job with "What You Need" tonight. I'm sure that INXS is taking some note of his fan appeal...but don't know if that will secure him the gig either. He may get "too much attention" from fans and INXS might be a little jealous of that...you never know! JD still just does not do anything for me. As always, I continue to think he's just okay..average. That song is kind of catchy, but personally I feel they're building it up a bit much. I speculate that's because of A. Farriss's input. The sound and feel of the song does fit with the back INXS catalog somewhat. Still think INXS already have JD in mind as "their pick" and he will manage to get the gig. That wouldn't excite me at all. I thought Suzi might break through to the final three. I was thinking that maybe INXS wanted to show that they were giving females a fair shake by having Suzi make it to the finale. She has had a pretty strong voice on her performances as the show progressed. I wish her good luck out there in the music biz!

Sad that JD is still there. Loved his face when he thought he was gone. Still don't like Pretty Vegas, thought Trees was catchy. A bunch of my son's friends were over here playing a download of it and singing it all afternoon today, lol ... ...was talking to my niece from Chicago and she's partied with Marty and says he has a couple of cd's released already and that she has one. I told her that I wanted it and she told me no, lol ...

does anyone else find it surprising and odd that inxs couldn't find anyone in the WORLD who is like, more ideal and a better fit all around?

They had a few copies of The Lovehammers "Murder on My Mind" at my local Best Buy. I imagine more people have been looking for it now because of Marty. I did buy a copy yesterday. Only had a chance to listen to a couple of tracks so far, but I pretty much liked what I heard. I am waiting to see who is going to be on The RockStar Tour. Could be fun to see if some of my more favorites are involved! I pray there aren't any power outages next Tuesday! I'll be at U2 and have to record the BB and RockStar finales.

Go JD!!!!! I love the song Pretty Vegas and thought the sequin megaphone was hilarious. JD is interesting to watch and tries to vary his performance style from song to song. Marty has a good voice but tends to screech at times - his "mad conductor" routine is getting old for me. Mig just seems to skip onstage - as INXS says, he may be a bit too "musical theatre". (His pants have got to go!) They are looking for a ROCKER. Marty was funny smashing the guitar, but JD was edgier kissing Dave on the cheek. Just my
