All's I can say is that Michael Hutchence is probably turning over in his grave right now. -_-

That girl just murdered Dylan's song.

I know - I wanted someone to shoot her and put her out of her misery....that dude who did "American Woman" was a tool...and so was that guy who butchered "Heroes." I liked the first girl and the girl who did the Hole song...I didn't care for the Nirvana guy. What else did you expect Ty to do, but "Cult of Personality?" I liked him too...I can't believe Dave Navarro is involved in this. He just lost some cool points in my book.

Was the guy who did American Woman the one who grabbed his crotch and was doing the twitchy thing with his legs and then grabbed that girl in the audience by her hair?
Dave's married now so he's probably making all the money he can. Plus I don't think Jane's is touring this summer, are they?

Agreed. I've hated this idea since they first announced it.

So did I. Nobody should even try to be Michael Hutchence.

I don't think anyone's trying to be Michael Hutchence. It's not like the rest of the band told him to go hang himself. He left them holding the bag. They were getting ready to go out on tour again and waiting for him to come to rehearsal and he never showed up. So any of the dates that had already been booked had to be cancelled. I don't know what kind of money, if any, that cost them.
So now, they've waited a repsectable amount of time and have decided to continue under the name they're known for best-INXS. If they changed the name of the band they would have a much harder time getting booked. So this show is a good way to create some buzz about them and help them to continue to earn a living. I don't see anything wrong with that.
I saw INXS about three months before Michael killed himself. It was a great show with complete with Hutchence climbing up on the stacks like a monkey man. He gave a great performance. May he rest in peace.

I loved Inxs and had the chance to meet Hutchence in 1991 or 1992. He was a very gentle man. We spoke for five minutes about Dylan. He was a huge fan.

not crazy about the Call Me cover

I watched last night's episode tonight and now this episode is almost over. I can say, sad but true, I think I'm going to get addicted to this show like wo.

The bastardization of INXS doesn't bother as much as I thought it would. Watching this, it just seems like they're just using them as an excuse to do a rock-oriented version of American Idol. I do think if I started a drinking game of how many times they SAY "INXS" I'd be plastered in the first thirty seconds. It's starting to bug.

I looooove Heather, the one who did "Somebody To Love"- she is sexy as hell, and her voice is awesome. Hate the girl who did Cheap Trick- I think she's too precious and boring. I liked the girl who did "Take It Easy" on the first episode, but gawd, how awful to get saddled with that Eagles song tonight, next to everyone else's song. Don't like the daddy's girl, because I'm mean. Don't like Suzie- the one who messed up the lyrics last night- her voice is boring to me. Typical blues-tinged bar band voice. I reeeeally like the girl who did "Piece of My Heart" last night and "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" tonight. Jordis is awesome, too.

Like, Ty is amazing- but I don't like him. I loooooooove Brandon. HOT. His energy is great. I kinda like Naked!Guy too, despite myself. Don't like J.D. Marty is okay, but his mannerisms put me off, and his cover of "Take Me Out" did nothing but remind me of what a kickass song it is, DESPITE him singing it.

I like that Dave Navarro's on here, although I'm glad to finally know for 100% that my crush on him is gone. He's just gotten too girly. I think it started to go downhill with the Jane's reunion after he left the Chili Peppers.

I will say- if I had known Brooke Burke was hosting this, I wouldn't have started watching it. Words cannot describe how much I hate her. HAAAAAAAAAAAATE. HATE. Hate.

eta: I really am completely ashamed for enjoying this show. Just had to say that to make myself feel better!

Lucky you.

I caught this show last night actually. Kinda American-Idolish...I think this is one of those bands, that to continue with Michael Hutchence they should change the name. The whole thing seems very sell-out-ish.

I saw most of the premiere & hadn't seen it since until last night, when I saw parts. I liked Jordis. She has good wide eyes for the stage, she's not in a bikini miolesting the guitarist, & she's not over-singing like some of the others are.
