Suzie McNeil is a Goddess
So much to say about tonight's episode of Rock Star: INXS...
1. Holy amazing song list, Batman! Not only was it a line-up of iconic rock songs, but it included "Imagine" — one of my all time favourite songs — along with "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Wish You Were Here" — two other sensational classics that I count among my faves.
2. The house band ROCKS!!!
3. After MiG performed "We Will Rock You" a few weeks back, I fleetingly wondered if they would do "Bohemian Rhapsody" at some point, but promptly dismissed that possibility because the song is so damn hard. Well, it IS bloody hard but that rockin' house band and the exceptionally talented Suzie McNeil (the aforementioned goddess) pulled it off beautifully (watch video).
4. Once again, my top three is in flux. It's not that I ever disliked Suzie, and I thought that her version of "Losing My Religion" was kick ass, but she was never in my top three before. Until tonight. But who am I displacing? Jordis Unga, MiG Ayesa or Marty Casey? That's a tough call. Do I count the fact that I will absolutely follow the individual careers of Jordis and/or Marty if they don't win? Or do I consider the fact that MiG is probably better suited to INXS than either of them? I haven't quite decided yet, but Suzie is displacing somebody.
5. I got misty during Marty's performance of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" (watch video); there were actual tears during Jordis' version of John Lennon's "Imagine" (watch video); I was dancing around my living room while MiG sang Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die" (watch video); and I was bursting with pride or joy or something during Suzie's rendition of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" (watch video). Amazing night. (For the record, Ty's performance of the Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was flawless and immensely enjoyable, but it just failed to move me the way the others did. Sorry, Ty.)
6. Will Suzie get the encore two weeks in a row?
P.S. I almost entitled this post "Zack Werner has Rock Star Envy" but decided it wasn't sufficiently relevant. It was, however, a thought that I had when I watched Canadian Idol earlier in the evening and witnessed Zack's surly mood towards all of the young amateurs on that show. I think he wishes he was judging the Rock Stars instead.
