Members The Aardvark Posted August 24, 2005 Members Share Posted August 24, 2005 I'm really enjoying this show. The house band is incredible. Unfortunately, Jordis SUCKED tonight. I don't think it's a real competition though. I suspect that the band knows who's going to win already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thunderbroom Posted August 24, 2005 Members Share Posted August 24, 2005 I didn't want to like the show, but I must say that the talent is much higher on this show than on American Idol. The contestants not only sing but actually perform. Some have played piano...others guitar. Tonight's show had two of the remaining seven perform their own original songs that they had 12 hours to write. Many of the folks have totally remade classic songs with success.

Members Dragoon Posted August 24, 2005 Members Share Posted August 24, 2005 Well, I've always liked INXS. They had some great songs. I just don't like the idea of trying to replace an irreplacable singer, perhaps with a female (not to mention the accompanying reality TV hoopla). Not to sound sexist, because a woman can front a band as well as a guy can, but it would not be INXS. The remaining band members should at least change the name, whoever they pick as the new singer. I don't like that affected, dramatic diva-ness (can we call it Singer Syndrome? ) of the contestants either, kinda makes me nauseous. Anyway, not trying to shit all over anyone's parade or anything. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carry on. I can see where you're coming from but I disagree that Michael Hutchence is irreplacable. Was Bon Scott? How about DLR? I like Van Halen with DLR better than with Sammy, but I can't say that without him it's not Van Halen. I don't think you have to worry about a female lead singer for INXS though, 'cause I think it's gonna be one of the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dragoon Posted August 24, 2005 Members Share Posted August 24, 2005 You have a point there with those other mentions, I just think they'll be really hard-pressed to find someone with the vibe and charisma (not to mention voice) of Michael Hutchence. I just think he was a rare frontman. Then again, maybe they're going for something entirely different to suit new material they're writing (?)...

Members NV43345 Posted August 24, 2005 Members Share Posted August 24, 2005 Mrs. "NV" and I have watched the show from the start. Of course Brooke Burke is not hard to look at. From the very first performance I picked Mig and Marty as the strongest guys and she picked Jordis as the strongest girl. I think it will come down to Mig & Marty. There both great. We were out last night so we taped it and have not had a chance to see it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hammer744 Posted August 24, 2005 Members Share Posted August 24, 2005 I felt bad for Jordis doing Dream On last night - I had the cringes throughout most of it. The rest of it was pretty damn good, though. I wasn't sure how the up-tempo version of Cold As Ice was going to sound, but it came off real good. I think Ty's got a strong chance - he just seems to keep nailing everything thrown at him (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more about Mig and Marty, and although I enjoy Marty more, I think Mig's going to take it. My girlfriend wants either Ty or Jordis to win, but I don't think either of them are really strong enough, and frankly I find Ty to be a little too cheesy. Regardless, it has been fun to watch.

Until last night Jordis has been bullet-proof. I still think she's one of the best, that just isn't a song many peaple can pull off. She'll come back in the challenge round.

Members ModmanQ6 Posted August 24, 2005 Members Share Posted August 24, 2005 Good show. Shame about Jordis last night. We lost the channel for the middle 4 songs, so I don't know how the originals sounded or went over. I can't stand JD. He has talent, but I think he'd get frontman's ego disease pretty quick... 2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I said to my wife when I saw it as one of the songs to be done - we did it in my band back in high school, but we didn't even attempt the high parts. Next show will be interesting.

I'm not a singer but I never realized that song would be hard to sing because Steven Tyler makes it sound so easy. I agree that Mig will probably take it because I think he fits the part the best. As far as talent Jordis,Marty and Ty are the best but would be better off in other bands imho of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They auditioned Michael Hutchence and thought he was a lunatic, so they rejected him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know how he got that "gig" (Carmen) too. I was just wondering about that when I saw her on the Tonight Show the other night. Too hot, but even if I had a shot the whole Rodman thing would freak me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanna got the Boot. after much milking it out everyone exept susie was in the bottom three at one point. The final bottom three was Ty,Deanna & Marty. Marty kicked ass and they were tesing him as usual. I think Marty or Mig is going to get the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
