Top 5
My comments on the top 5 performance episode of Rock Star: INXS...
Original songs: Marty's was easily my favourite original. Next up would be Jordis, with Suzie following very closely behind. After that... um... er... I'm rather reluctant to admit that I liked J.D.'s song better than MiG's. (I would have liked J.D.'s song even better if someone else had sung it!) But I just felt that MiG's songwriting seemed a little simplistic.
My top three tonight (though not my top three overall):
1. Marty Casey — He made a wise choice with his arrangement of "Everlong" and his original song rocked!
2. Suzie McNeil — She showed off her beautiful vocals on the Bonnie Raitt song (with far more control than Deanna had) and I enjoyed her original song.
3. Jordis Unga — I found her version of "We Are The Champions" left quite a bit wanting. I think part of it is that while her voice is beautiful when she sings softly and she does the shouting-with-tone thing better than anyone else I can think of, she doesn't have the power to deliver a Queen song the way it needs to be delivered (and I agree with Dave that her lower register needs work). But I really enjoyed her original song. (And I found it interesting how much the lyrics reminded me of what I wrote about Jordis just yesterday.)
Encore prediction: Marty's original song "Trees" (watch video)
Random thoughts:
~ Why was Brooke Burke wearing a nightie? (granted, there may be a little "meow" in that comment, but really... her dress — and I use that term loosely — was pretty awful)
~ How short is MiG Ayesa anyway? (okay, I looked that one up: he's actually 5'10"... I guess Marty and J.D. are both taller than I thought, because MiG looks so short next to them)
~ I realize that many women think J.D. is the sexiest man on the show **shudder** but I hope that INXS can see that he's simply the flavour of the week. And once that wears off, they would just be left with a guy who arranges other people's songs well. (P.S. I hope those women just think he's the sexiest performer on the show, because Dave Navarro is by far the sexiest man on the show overall!)(P.P.S. I dropped in on a Rock Star thread over at Television Without Pity and found that somebody had said: "JD is the only rocker who can bring the sex," to which someone else replied: "But you end up hoping he brought the penicillin, too." Hehehe.)
