SPOILERS for those who haven't seen the show yet:

What a show again! The Rockers sang songs their fans wanted them to sing plus an original composition! This is really getting very exciting! I was not so taken by JD's Come As You Are performance but was totally blown away by his original... I even forgot that it was an original! It was a superb rock song! The megaphone was pure genius!

All the rest were good as well. I wasn't happy with Mig's performance again. Considering Hard to Handle is one of my favorite songs from my college days, he didn't give it justice. His original wasn't impressive also... I found myself thinking..."yeah yeah yeah... you can sing and play the piano... we already know that."

I didn't even bother voting for MiG... Me thinks MiG will be in the bottom 3 this week... $:-\$

....loved Brooke Burke's outfit

(hey... ba'' wala na yung "devil smiley???") Parang nightie

the megaphone is an old trick for replicating the "filtered" effect done in studio recording ... not really that original. but i gotta say tho, JD's original song ROCKED! only kink in the armor is that ever since he admitted to being an elvis impersonator early in his career... i keep seeing it na. the way he sings... how he writes ("pretty vegas"?? can't get more elvis that that! LOL.) down to whole "raised lip" thing. ugh!

suzy wasn't stellar today... but i'm hoping it's enough to keep her in.

bottom two for me have to be mig and jordis ... if jordis' fans vote their brains out this week. mig could be in serious trouble.

i just hoppe local mig fans aren't too caught up in the whole PBB phenomenon to forget voting for him.

and ... oh yeah, will someone please tell mig to stop dressing like a gay guy in mardi gras! he's got the abs to pull it off but it's not helping him at all.

yep... the megaphone thing has been used by lots of bands already but parang bagay na bagay sa song nya...

actually even the way JD uses his hands (specifically the fingers) constantly during his performances are reminiscent of The King

MiG has lost his magic for me... the others kasi seem to be stepping up already while he's still doing the same things... I just hope he wakes up and starts to kick butt again... I would still hate hearing "MiG, you are just not right for our band INXS."

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #33 on:** Sep 08, 2005 at 06:59 PM »

mig lives to see another week...

poor jordis. she was right! she was spiralling down... for some reason, i think the pressure just got to her. poor gal.

jeckjeck · « **Reply #34 on:** Sep 08, 2005 at 07:22 PM »

SPOILERS:

Goodbye Jordis... I think the pressure got to her. She's so young kasi and still inexperienced being in the limelight compared to the rest... her performances really deteriorated including the one kanina when she sang Need You Tonight-- she had no energy whatsoever

Sayang but kudos to her for reaching the Final 5

MiG is one lucky dude again escaping the bottom 3... IMHO, JD shouldn't have been in the bottom 3 but competition is really tight now and I really believe MiG is getting a lot of votes from Down Under and possibly Europe and from Asia ('Pinas siempre

)... JDs poor attitude through out the competition may also be to blame for his being in the bottom 3 -- maybe fans are just not too eager to see him to the finals...

With Marty, MiG, JD, and Suzie left, the final elimination next week is really going to be something to watch

it's easy... note first if your post will fall on a "light grey" or "dark grey" box...

if light grey, use the this color: #EEEEEE

if dark grey, use: #DDDDDD

hope that helps.

Too bad Jordis got booted out. I kind of liked her. I picked Marty, only because I never really liked him

really?... i actually liked the guy from day one. the whole magician thing is so 70s rocker. no one really does that anymore. LOL.

lately tho, i've noticed he's been singing a la CREED-ish (or PEARL JAM-ish, if you prefer)... he sings much better in his natural tone.

Marty is good although he somehow reminds me of a young, blonde Steve Martin especially when he has his intense performance face on

I think he sings the grungy rock songs very well but "He is not right for our band INXS..." IMHO lang po... His style is not really a fit to the band as INXS had also pointed out before... I hate to admit it but JD's voice and style (these latter weeks) seems to be the one suited to step into Michael Hutchence's shoes...

tonedeaf · « **Reply #48 on:** Sep 09, 2005 at 10:26 PM »

I agree. It's going to be JD, IMHO (not that i'm a fan

)

jeckjeck · « **Reply #49 on:** Sep 14, 2005 at 06:01 PM »

Brooke Burke is a goddess!

Dave Navarro is a rock god!

SPOILERS AHEAD:

What a show! What I had been wishing for was granted! Dave Navarro picked up his ax and played along with the house band! He really rocks!

Suzie had to sing Whats Up? and Interstate Love Song. I love that song by STP and IMHO Suzie didn't really give it justice.. .yeah, yeah her stage performance was good especially when she went down to the crowd but her singing didn't impress me today

JD again did an amazing job with his re-reperformance of Pretty Vegas. He brought the house down again and with Dave on lead guitar doing his signature slides and bends, the song got a metal edge! Even JD's perfromance of Money was... right on the money

I am convinced this guy will get the job or at least be in the Final 3.

Marty also reperformed his Trees original this time he did the acoustic version with himself and Dave playing guitars. He then sang Creep but as with Suzie's performance, I prefer the original version

MiG, MiG, MiG

INXS was right in their assessment that MiG is too "goody goody" and too much of a theater performer to be a Rock Star. He was given a very dark and heavy song - Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones - this song I also love because it was used as the theme for Tour of Duty... but MiG again managed to "sterilize" the darkness out of the song... his rendition was too sedate... even his rendition of Seal's Kiss From A Rose was not up too par with the original nor did it even come close...

I think with MiG's performance today plus the comments coming from INXS that he is too good natured, he may be the next one to go... I am pretty sure INXS will eliminate him if he lands in the bottom 3...

ßartmaniac · « **Reply #50 on:** Sep 14, 2005 at 09:14 PM »

me thinks they'll eliminate Marty tommorow if INXS is given a chance. He is a genuine rocker and he's actually my favorite. I just got a feeling that INXS thinks their music doesn't exactly jive with his style.

I have to agree that MiG's perfomance was just so-so.

does anybody have an mp3 of trees by marty?

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #52 on:** Sep 15, 2005 at 03:12 AM »

actually... i disagree. "pretty vegas" works because it sounds like an INXS song! listen to "the strangest party" and "the gift". and main INXS songwriter andrew farris sees that. (andrew IMO is the TRUE genius of INXS ... i'd say about 70% of their catalogue is his music with michael's lyrics)

i thought the whole family picture thing is a cheapshot. LOL. JD is just trying to brown nose INXS all over again... he's got charisma, i'll give him that. but andrew was quick to point out that he's irresponsible and difficult to deal with.

marty came off a little too cocky... but i still like the guy. his argument makes perfect sense tho... he can sing INXS back catalogue AND bring a new sound to INXS... something kids today can relate too.

suzy needs a personality implant... she's too jaded at this point. wake up girl. (or at the very least develop some semblance of a rock personality. LOL. she can learn a lot from JD and marty) i was disappointed at her version of an STP classic too. but i think (and this is just me...) next to jordis, she probably has the best studio voice of all the finalists right now. from what little i've heard, her version of the INXS song in the studio clinic was AWESOME!

mig... if u ask me... i think he just might be the next to go. he wask okay but i could see the band members wince deep inside as he roll-called his theater credits. LOL.

you can download this from www.rickey.org along with "pretty vegas" While you're there, you can also read the comments of the blog's other readers. Some make sense while others are so funny, may conspiracy theory pa.

went to work late just so i can catch the live show this morning. In one word.... " Whew!!"

you'll be happy to know I have some jpegs of her Playboy photos from about 3 or 4 years ago when she was still he host of Wild on E!

back to the show...

SPOILERS again:

Goobye Sweet Suzie McNeal... I knew INXS would not really go for a female lead! Suzie's weak performance of Suicide Blonde also didn't help her case... I do not like Suzie's versions of INXS songs... parang out of breath 'sya palagi...

MiG finally lands in the bottom 3... his rendition of What You Need was fantastic! I think it did him good to finally let the band hear him sing one of their songs... He actually sounded like Michael Hutchence... creepy...

So on to the finals next week! Grabe! This is exciting!

Rickey's blog can get pretty overwhelming, since he blogs about a dozen different reality shows, the main ones being American Idol, Rockstar INXS and So You Think You Can Dance (which I wish Star World or some local channel picked up). If you're looking for just clips of Rockstar INXS, go here:
