Nobody fucks with the Jesus

That is the question I ask myself everytime I sit down and watch "ROCK STAR: INXS". Aside from "I Need You Tonight" I couldn't name an INXS song if my life depended on it and they have been without a lead singer for around ten years or so since Michael Hutchence's suicide (which ranks as one of the top ten celebrity deaths but thats a story for another time). So why look for a new lead singer now? I don't recall there being a huge outcry for an INXS reunion.


But the biggest problem I have with this show is that most of the contestants are too talented to waste their time fronting a relic like INXS.



My favorite on the show is Jordis Unga who sang one of my favorite songs ever, David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World", and did a darn good job. Her version was no where near as good as the Nirvana version (which is even better than Bowie's) but she was better than anything INXS ever put out in their entire career.
Plus she's hot in a Predator crossed with an opening act at Lilith Fair '98 kinda way.
