back again.. I don't know if this will help those with taping dilemmas or not, but if you have a dual Tivo, this could work for you: We can tape 2 shows on the DVR and switch the tv input from vcr to tv (or vice versa) and we can watch network shows(actually we get the lst 60 cable channels) while the two other shows are recording on DVR. You could maybe even tape the 3rd show on VCR and go upstairs and watch a 4th!

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 Oh Donut, excellent theory! I think you could be on to something. I, too, found myself wondering how much editing decisions are calculated rather than footage being chosen simply because it made for good TV. And you good be right about them wanting to take JD down a notch.

Actually, I don't think the voting matters at all as far as who gets the job. They may get a little snapshot of what an audience thinks, but in the end, it will be whoever the band likes. I guess this is why the ratings suck? It may be to "inside baseball" if you catch my drift. I'm watching.

UGH!! I'm glad that some people posted about the show tonight. I can't believe that I forgot all about it..and it's been one of my favorite summer shows this year!! Sounds like the focus was on JD and Mig then? I have kind of liked them both. I think both of them would possibly be a fit for INXS. Depends exactly on what they're looking for I guess. Let me know if I missed anything else!

Who should win??? This is solely my opinion… The band members of INXS are approximately in their mid to late 40s (so I would guess). When they were popular their lead singer took centre stage. Michael was seductive, sexy, hypnotic, and very hot. Val Kilmer’s version of Jim Morrision comes to mind when I remember Michael. Michael will probably be often imitated but never duplicated. I seriously doubt the band wants a Michael imitation (Mig??) Jordis, that girl can sing, but picture her with this band. She is just too young. It will look very out of place. Brandon is too CCR for INXS. Daphana and Tara look too hard rock. Heather too punk. Suzi and Jessica remind me of pop singers trying to be all rock n’ roll and tough. They are just too cute. Neal looks too much like Andy Warhol and reminds me of a Bowie/Iggy Pop type. Doesn’t seem to work well with this particular band. That leaves 3. I think Ty, J.D. and Deanna could lead this band, look good with the band, keep it in INXS’ style but yet different from before. Ty is such a great performer. He would be an awesome powerhouse. He reminds me of great rock singers who trained professionally such as Rob Halford of Judas Priest. J.D. is also a showman. He would probably also get the band in the papers with Liam and Noel attics. No publicity is bad publicity. Look at other “bad boys” of rock – David Lee Roth and Axel Rose. Love David Lee. I degress. However, I going with Deanna. She appears to be a mature singer. Sure she will stand out a bit from the band with her gender, but I don’t think she will overshadow the band. I think she will aesthetically look great with the INXS band. Plus she can sing. Well actually they all can. I reserve the right to change my opinion at any time.

Color, when Sasha wrote: Neal looks too much like Andy Warhol and reminds me of a Bowie/Iggy Pop type. ...he/she meant Marty but typed Neal.

I agree, JD looked like a jerk, though he still had valid points when talking Jordis out of singing "We Are the Champions." I would really like to hear him singing a ballad or something, instead of rearranging every song to suit his need. What would he do to an INXS song? I liked seeing MiG sing that at the end, but he was in that Queen musical so he's probably sung it alot already on his own. Except for being Australian, I can't see how MiG compares to Michael! I don't know if you can have them pick a singer based on how young or old they look with the band....I can see Jordis, MiG, Suzie or Daphna, they just need to show more of their range. I think as INXS ages they aren't going to have the same sound-- They started off as a funky rock band and then went pop/synth and pop/rock, then got into a blues/pop/rock sound so who knows what they will end up sounding like? Michael was also the main lyricist so it is possible that whomever INXS picks to win will shape the sound-- I don't think any of them have to worry about seeming out of place in that aspect. I was really shocked to read the blogs and see that the other rockers thought Neal would make it to the final 3?! Editing can't make the Mick Jagger impersonation go away...One of the blogs called it "Neal's unique 70s style." Weird!

Jordis is my fav too. Oh, she really messed that up at the beginning. She did a good job afterwards but that was a pretty big stumble. Suzie's look is reminding me of Sheryl Crow tonight.

Jessica did better with that song than I thought she would. Mig didn't sing loud enough at the start but I'm a sucker for that Sgt. Pepper look.

Heather...not good, but she did say she was sick. Garry did point out though that sometimes performers have to do whole shows sick! (That would not be fun!! )

Suzie was one of my least favorites at the beginning, but I agree with Dave. I think she seems to be improving.
