I think there was some great talent on this show. It'll be fun to watch these kids develop.
I think it's sad that so many won't give this show a shot or condemn it without watching. I think they waited an appropriate period of time and I say good on 'em trying to find a new singer in this format. I don't think they are being disrespectful in any manner.

I was surprised how much I liked this show and the contestants. After all my favorite song is "I Left My Heart in San Francisco"!

Well...I wasn't going to watch this show, but decided to at the last minute...and really did like it.

I also had very mixed feelings about INXS when I heard about this show. The first response I had was this is so WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! I love INXS's music. Michael Hutchence was, of course, a such an integral part of the equation. He had such a charismatic presence. I remember first seeing them open for The Go-Go's. They were just getting more notice in the states. I remember M. Hutchence being compared so much to Mick Jagger and Jim Morrison back then. As they continued to make good music, it seemed the public accepted him for being the original that he was. I saw them live a number of times throughout the years, and can say that every show was a great one. One of my friends, who was also a fan, even had the DJ play “Never Tear Us Apart” for her first dance at her wedding reception. I remember feeling very sad when I heard that he had died. I have had a harder time listening to their music ever since. Usually things don’t affect me this way. I think it was just “odd” to me because he was the first person who was gone from my beloved ‘80s music. I guess there was just something more special about that time period to me personally. Sorry to be rambling here….

Anyway, I figure that Mark Burnett is probably friends with his fellow Aussies. He must have come upon this idea and pitched it to them. Maybe they trusted it in Mark Burknett’s hands. Still not crazy about the whole premise in regards to M. Hutchence’s legacy, yet felt that the show was entertaining and put together well. I will continue to watch.

P.S. I also really liked both Brooke Burns and Dave Navarro as the hosts. Some of Dave's comments were entertaining. I was kind of surprised that Carmen Electra wasn't on with him instead. Wonder if she auditioned? LOL

Coming out of lurkmode for awhile.....

I'm glad to see INXS moving on. After all, it's been almost 8 years since Michael's death, and although his unbelieveable and charismatic performance style cannot be overstated, there were 5 other people in this band who deserve to go on. They work well together and I don't think they should have to find other people to play with because a tragic episode befell them. Do I think they'll be as successful as they were with Michael? No. It doesn't mean they shouldn't play though.

My two cents having been thrown in, I loved the show and will continue to watch. Finally something not-so-bubblegum for those of us who prefer our singers with tattoes and hair that comprises all the colors of the rainbow. To hell with an Idol, give me a Rock Star! And although I know this statement will be sacriligious to many of you, I'm thrilled that there is something grittier for those like me to enjoy....finally! And as a bonus, I get to ogle Dave Navarro for awhile. Yeah baby!

So far I'm liking the girls better than the guys overall.

I loved Jordis last night. That chick's voice really surprised me. Rock on Girl!

Daphna's performance was good and her impromptu performance about her father was touching too. It was Daphna, wasn't it?

I also liked Deanna and Heather.

Neal was out there in an Iggy Pop sort of way. Not sure I like that. Only Iggy is Iggy if you know what I mean.

JD was semi-creepy and Wil seemed sedate after the other performances. I liked Ty and I was digging Gordon's action too. Mig was, well, ick.

I think they did the right thing getting rid of Dana. Her voice didn't measure up to everyone else's. While Suzie had huge (and I do mean huge) problems, she's got a good tone to her voice.

Looking forward to seeing what the whole lot of them have to offer from here on out.

Boy, when I come out of lurkmode, I do go on, don't I? Lucky for all of you I'm going right back......for now......

I liked Brandon as well as a few of the girls and Ty. JD looked like he was having a seizure.

All round a good show.

I love this show! I even re-wound and watched it again. Looking forward to the performances tonight and seeing how the audience voting will go. Add me to the Dave Navarro fan club. He's a hottie!!

Rewatched the tape this morning (was putting the little guy to bed during part of last night's show, so I wisely recorded), and I liked it even better than last night. I really agreed with the elimination. Thought Dave Navarro was spot-on with his assessment that that gutteral scream (in the middle of Dana's song) was "sexy for about five seconds and then just became uncomfortable." I liked how they did the elimination behind closed doors rather than in front of the whole group. Seemed somehow kinder.

There are some really talented people in this group, despite the egos. I was mesmerized when they were jamming around the pool, and when Daphna (?) started singing about her father and everyone joined in as backup, it brought tears to my eyes. A poignant moment.

I agree this show was better than I expected. I was never a fan of INXS, although I do recognize some of their music. I think if the guys in the band want to go on playing music, they should find a new lead singer and go on. Of course, they won't be able to "replace" Michael Hutchence, but I don't think that's the intention. I look forward to seeing these folks grow and improve over the next few weeks, much as they do on American Idol . . . although I think we're starting with more raw talent on this show! (Although DH made the comment to me sometime during the night--when I was trying to sleep, I might add!--that he didn't think any of them was as good as Bo Bice. Hopefully, he'll come around . . .)

i agree with you on trying to replace michael hutchins. he was so great. i got sad watching the beginning of it--their music videos on mtv were legend. but i would think that if the band didn't want to do it, they wouldn't. heck lynard skynard got back together and they are doing okay. and this talent is pretty good! (and no, i'm not a teeny bopper, but i feel like one:-)).

jI'm with you all, loved the show and of course Dave Navarro.

As already mentioned, of course Michael can't be replaced but it's been 8 years now and the band does want to go on.

I do prefer this type of music to anything on idol, that's why i loved Bo this year.

Give me my rock, gritty and lots of tattoos LOL

Daphna is looking a little like Slash with that hat on and all that dark hair. Love the Lab Rat patch on her jacket. I didn't like her as much as last night but still pretty good.
