Limes with Orange

Tonight was bittersweet on Rock Star: INXS. As soon as they announced that J.D. Fortune had the encore, I knew he wouldn't be going home. Actually, I guess I knew after his performances last night that he probably wouldn't be going home. And then, by simple elimination, I knew it would be Jordis Unga.

If you've read my previous posts, you'll know that I struggled with my shifting top three and that Jordis was no longer in it. (To be clear, I speak only of my top three to win this competition. Not my three favourite singers on the show... because Jordis is still firmly in that category.) So I had made my peace with the fact that she wouldn't stay forever. (As if I'm the one who actually needs to make peace with that.) I had kinda hoped that J.D. would go home before her, just out of sheer cussedness, I guess. But I also knew that the sooner she left, the sooner her solo career could start.

Now she can go back to being true to herself. I'm looking forward to that. And to her debut CD. (I don't suppose you can pre-order a CD that hasn't even been written yet... No? Oh well, worth a shot.) I have searched afar the land for a voice like hers and I will follow it to the ends of the earth if that's what it takes. (Though my local record store would be a little more convenient, if rather less poetic.)

P.S. If you're looking for Jordis downloads, head over to JordisUnga.org and check out the music download page.
