INXS Rockstar show

Watched it for the first time last night.

The kid from Oz doing Abba-hands during Smells Like Teen Spirit?? Just when you thought the Idol shows topped it for cringe inducing television.

i feel so bad for the band- a world class act of their time reduced to Mark Burnett reality TV fodder. oh dear

Forums: The Bar,

I think the band brought it on themselves and deserves everything that they get. It's not like they need the money, and if they're too dumb to realise that the only one with standout talent and charisma in the band hung himself, well they just remind me a lot of L** S**** actually.

the keyboardist (or whoever it is) with the jazz-cat moustache has DEFINATELY got talent.
i wonder if they were all that stylised before they did the show. the guy who has to send people home still seemed to be getting used to that whole sunglasses-inside-at-night deal

absolutely the most cringe i've seen. Like watching a car crash. I can't stop now though...

I liked watching people do songs I actually like, as opposed to a million horrible versions of 'I believe I can fly'.

did any of them actually do INXS songs?

No, they did The Who, and Nirvana, and Janis Jopplin (that chick went home) and The Guess Who, and ummm lots of '60s/'70s sort of rock.

im sure doing an inxs song would've been jumping the gun a bit, but no doubt they'll have to choose and sing one eventually. *shudder*

// and Janis Jopplin (that chick went home)//

Thank goodness ... she totally ruined that song ... though as an unabashed admire of Janis Joplin I might be a little biased.

When the viewers vote for the worst three then they have to perform an INXS song to prove their worthiness.

The only ones so far that seem to be good enough are JD, Mig and Jordis.

I can watch this show on and off but I don't think I could watch it religiously. A shame a band of that stature has gone this path but still one of the better shows of this type.

is it boys only? or do we have the possibility of a young lass belting out...

Yonder she's walking
She comes my way
Her red dress on
Her long black hair

Walking like
Talking like
Wanting like
She comes to me

Oh baby I love you so
I need you now
I want you back
I can't go on

I, for one, hope that this is the case.

There are plenty of ladies. Some of them are pretty good too. They're not going to win though.

//I, for one, hope that this is the case.

I second that :)

bet they'll just do the dumb Tiffany thing and change 'she' to 'he' and that would just suck . . ..

I wouldn't complain at a song about a boy in a red dress.

heehee - a Lola for the new generation

//I wouldn't complain at a song about a boy in a red dress.

Girls who like boys who 'do' girls, though they're boys?

i have seen plenty of guys in red dresses and depending on how tight they are, they can be pretty nasty

dave and krist should do the same thing for nirvana.

or not.

don't you mean Courtney??

By calling it Rockstar colon INXS they're leaving it wide open for Rockstar: Velvet Revolver when Weiland inevitably overdoses and dies/goes to jail.

folk like me to delete the INX and employ the backspace and brink you . . .

now there's a show i'd watch -
it would be, wie sagen sie, "the shit"

It made me immediately go out and buy the swing from 1984 back in the pre kylie/druggie/barnesy/mega fame/pants/that slapper from UK breakfast telly/auto-asphyxiation days and it made me love them all over again just like i was 11

L** S****??

can i buy a vowel?

Heather pointed out that I put too many stars in the last name - it should have been S***. Maths is hard, barbie. But the stars are only there to protect us all from a notorious self googling attention seeker. I mean, another self googling attention seeker, of course. Not me.

oh god, i've been staring at the stars but i still can't guess it! can i buy an 'O' for awesome?

There is no O

well i dont feel so stupid now. being out of the country, ive never heard of that woman (bar on nzm). sounds like a bit of a brat.

I wish I was in Germany. We could like, hang out, and eat black forest cherry cake.

on the other hand
you would be awfully
and i mean awfully
close to austria

So in conclusion, we will be watching this televisual train wreck every week, yes?

Just you try and stop me!

PS: Dylan McKay reminds me of someone we both know...

I certainly will be watching this........reality TV fiend that I am.

That guy who did "Smells like Teen Spirit", ugh, it was pretty bad,

the girl who performed for and sung The Who's song was pretty good,

that girl Jessica wow, she was hot and could sing too,
I thought that Black guy after talking himself up was going to fall over and turn out shit but he was really awesome,

Dave Navarro isnt a bad guy to have around as someone to ask advice from, and what a house they are living in.

I enjoyed the show, I dont care what anyone else thinks, I thought it was good and its nice to finally see some decent singers being allowed to sing songs other than stupid pop songs and actaully be taken seriously, I will definitly be tunning in next week.

//Dave Navarro isnt a bad guy to have around as someone to ask advice from

I don't understand why he is doing this, I guess he loves MTV's cock so much!!

because apparently he is good friends with INXS...nothing to do with Mtv's cock.

cynic votes for the girl who did baba oreily
definitely astep up from idol
backing band were pretty good, cynic thinks the drummer
is probably one evil mutha
maybe he could be inticed to join
8 foot sativa

Cynic, have you ever freelanced as a shepard?

I think the best way to recover from the heart and soul of your band hanging himself naked in a hotel is to have a good old fashioned "REPLACE OUR DEAD BAND MEMBER.... ON TELEVISION!" off.

I can't watch the show without throwing up in my mouth a little bit.

did anyone hear about the rockstar monday show moving to sundays on vh1??? It's weird cuz it'll still be on cbs on tues and weds it's just that vh1 is doing the sunday thing.... maybe vh1 wants it because it's the reality part of the show and they're really huge in that whol celebreality thing right now.... anyways... jordis was amazing except for the crying...what was that??

Hey Reddyfreddy, when you joined up to talk about this topic, did you happen to see how this was NZ music.com? And did you stop to think about what the NZ means?

Most of us are in New Zealand. We watch Rockstar a couple of weeks behind you, on TV3. We're not on your level.

If you google "inxs rockstar show" this page is the third result after inxs.com and cbs.com, and it's the first result for "inxs rockstar forum".
