Rock Star INXS

Van Halen is always looking for someone...

 

I personally thought JD redeemed himself bigtime last nite, I thought he put on the best performance. Although the band gave him high marks they seemed to like Marty the best. I agree he is a headcase though, and also agree the band may not want to deal with that shit.

Jordis had a poor showing last nite, she will be singing for her supper tonite for sure.

I didnt care for Migs performance very much. I think until last nite he was neck and neck with Marty, but now Marty seems to be the clear fave.

Not to be sexist here, but I've never thought a woman could front the band, good as they all are. I said to my wife last nite that Suzie especially will be signed instantly after this is over. She has a fantastic voice, just not a good fit for INXS.

My jaw about hit the floor when Brooke came out on stage last nite

 

Funny you mention that...I had thought the exact same thing.

I have the show tivoed so I will likely be watching this one while the results show is on.

 

Ty plays the card

from Metromix.com:

We talked to Ty backstage after the taping wrapped to find him still struggling with his emotions, but trying to remain strong enough to get a message across.

Coming off of a great performance last night, which the crowd and the band loved, how did it feel when you were called into the bottom three today?
Well, I've gotten used to it a little bit. Like I was saying, it was exciting because I got to sing an INXS song ("The One Thing") which was far from mediocre, like they said. I guess they needed some reason to say I was going home because I know my performance wasn't mediocre. (Laughs.)

It hurt, really. It's hard. And I've spent this whole show really never taking any platform about race issues at all, but I know how hard it is just judging by history, judging by the fact that I can count on my hands how many successful artists there have been that are African-American in rock 'n' roll. And it's just like a lot of people aren't going to watch the television show that aren't into rock music, and then therefore those people that have not seen enough black people in rock 'n' roll don't think to put me in (the band, INXS). That's the only reason, that's the only reason. I know things. I'm very in touch with myself and the world and spirituality. And I know what my performances are like and I know – now that I don't have to deal with being so politically correct – I know where they land as far as substance. And you know, I hate having to live history (Starts crying). You know that's it. I just hate being a part of something that just doesn't seem like it's gonna change.

(We stop the interview while Ty cries.)

Well, what are the good things you'll remember about your experience here?
Everything else besides what I just said. We definitely formed a family and relationship that I would never give up. We just laughed a lot and had so many good times together. Getting to sing with the house band, getting to do songs with INXS (when members of the band performed with the rockers on past shows) was just unreal. Living in the house was great, the food was good (laughs), everything. It was just an amazing, amazing experience.

I know we haven't heard the last from you. So, what's next?
I don't know. I thought I was going to be here. I didn't even bother to put it in my thoughts, in the realm of possibility because I didn't think it was gonna happen. But I know by my past that the universe always takes care of me. I'm not worried about not being on the show anymore. That doesn't scare me. In the end, and as things were rolling on, I didn't think I was going to be the person they (INXS) were going to choose, so it's easier for me to go and get on and do whatever's going to be next then stay around another couple weeks and prolong it. (Laughs.)

Edit: It might have helped if he learned the lyrics to "The One Thing". It goes.."Its the one thing, you are my thing"....he kept repeating "its the one thing". He was called out on that.

 

OK, so Jordis was deservedly voted off. I was surprised JD was in the bottom three, considering he got the encore vote. Dave Navarro was surprised too.

 

It is going to get very strange here in the strech. The 4 left are all strong. I do not see any of them making mistakes from this point on.

And man there is something about the black/blonde mix that Suzie has going on that drives me crazy. I keep thinking about the singer for that 80's band Berlin. Just love that stuff!

 

I think Mig (Migs?) is/should be the next to go, if they looked at things objectively. During that group song "Us" he was horrible.

 

Either Mig or Marty. I think Marty does a fine job, just not a good fit with that type of boogie rock that they do. Now if NIN or someone similar needed someone then Maty is the first guy I think of.

 

Brooke has raised the bar (and one other thing) yet again. Damn she looked fine last nite.

 

My wife said she would do her....
