rock star : inxs review

it's been several episodes since i last wrote about this show - but the performances tonight were incredible. i'm so glad that after last week's horrid display the singers seem to be willing to perform again - without the jitters that made last week so bad. here's a rundown of what i thought of these guys....

mig - we are the champions
i am hoping that this song gets an encore request by inxs on the show this week. i'm a sucker for this song and i'm quickly becoming a mig lover... not only is he friggin' hot (nice abs, baby) but we see on the monday night shows that he's a super sensitive sweetie too.... awwww.... oh - yeah, and he can sing.

deanna - i'm the only one
i've been iffy about her... and end up NOT remembering her performances - but i won't forget her running through the crowd (nearly pushing folk over on her way) to end up singing the end of the song on the platform with inxs. andrew farris had a great view of her ass for the duration... and seemed quite happy with it. then again - she got some hard knocks at the vocal clinic, basically telling her that her voice might not be able to cut this (because of her age). who can really blame her for pulling out the tried and true tits and ass? :)

marty - with arms wide open
this guy makes me VERY disappointed in inxs and dave navarro. i mean, marty is just not my thing. and it's funny. in my very first review i wrote that marty seemed creed-like. and then what's he do for a song? a creed song. i don't need to say anymore. but i will say that if this guy is picked to sing michael hutchence songs - i will be so disappointed.

ty - everlong
for a guy who claims to be a big 'rocker' - he says he'd never this foo fighter song before. ok, can we say 'poser'? i like ty and love to watch him perform - but seriously - if you've never heard this song before... what the hell type of music do you listen to?

jessica - blister in the sun
she had a lot of fun with this song. it's a really fun song. i just wish she'd stop with the horrid hair-bump she gets when she pulls her hair back.

brandon - if you could only see
this is another song i hate and this is a singer i haven't cared for. also - to me he just looks like he would smell unpleasant. but man, he did an AMAZING job with this song. i still don't like him, but i have to say that he did way better than he has before. before this performance, i was picking him to go home - but i don't think he will after this performance.

jordis - man who saved the world
i love jordis and i would love to see her be the new inxs person BUT i could not stand her voice in this song. again - it might be unfair, as i think this is in one of the top 5 songs ever written, but i really didn't like her vocal. i wish i did. :(

jd - the letter
i'm so over this 'dude'. i think i've been coloured by the portrayal he's getting on the monday night shows. what a fucking asshole. and not in a good way. because you can be an asshole in a good way. it really seems like he's labouring under the misconception that he's on survivor or something. he's trying to manipulate people and situations and then is telling the camera about it. do you really think inxs will want a guy around who will backstab and lie to their faces? not to mention that he might want to continually do new arrangements of the classic inxs songs.

tara - message in a bottle
her vocals are incredible and her stage presence has been pretty dramatic (now that she's not doing country or sabbath tunes). i think she did amazing tonight - but the band seems like they just arent that into her.

suzie - get back
she has the ability to turn a cool and stylish LA club into some grungy ontario roadside diner with the local gal with the big voice and blonde hair sings as the truckers eat their greasy fried chicken. at the end of the day, she's a backup singer. and that's it.

my hope for the bottom three is marty, suzie and jd - but i KNOW i'm not right.
