Rockstar: INXS
Week Two: Elimination Night

Image hosted by Photobucket.comNetwork:Star World (Asia)
Episode Six:July 21, 2005
Genre:Reality/Music Show
Time Slot:Thursday 9:00 a.m.;
Rerun at 9:00 p.m.

Reality Show extra - J.D.'s housemates did not like his comments about him knowing the INXS songs better than anybody and they confront him on it. He was unapologetic ... probably because he didn't think he did anything wrong.

J.D. does get commended (again) for "Hand in My Pocket", Suzie's version of "Roxanne" got special mention as well, and MiG is told he's now transformed to rocker (I wonder if theater folk like the idea that this is a compliment). No one gets an encore tonight.

Tara ends up in the bottom three for the second week, with Neal and Jessica joining her. By this time, I think Tara is confused. Last week she missed the mark by sounding too country, she gets edgier this week only to be told she's too hard rock. I frankly cannot remember Jessica's performance - so maybe her forgettable rendition was why she ended at the bottom. Neal being called out is no surprise for me, but apparently he was surprised he ended at the bottom. More amazing is that his fellow Rockers were dismayed he got the axe. Maybe they thought it would be Tara - after all, this is her second week at the bottom.

This guy reminds me so much of Mick Jagger - only with finer facial features. He's got stage presence, I'll give him that - he struts around like a cock, actually. I thought he had promise, until "Summer of 69" showed he's a bit tone deaf.

Staying power in terms of weeks:
