Rock Stars

Ok, this is a rant/review of last night's TV. If you don't watch Rock Star:INXS, most of this will mean absolutely nothing to you. I am, at the moment, heavily into CBS's Rock Star:INXS. First of all, let me say that I do enjoy the show for the musical performances, but I also believe that Michael Hutchence (who was the King of Sex)is rolling in his grave. I mean, his bandmates are picking his replacement on reality TV for Pete's sake! So, in short, the show is fun to watch, good entertainment, but I do not approve of the premise.

Anyway, I was so hoping that Tara would be in the bottom three again this week and get sent home. I can't stand her, she is so ugly! (Yes, I am very catty with famous people. Very nonjudgemental in life, but if you're on TV or the radio I will pick you apart until there's nothing left!) Like, I can't really explain it, but I just hate the way she does her mouth when she sings. And she looks old. I don't think anyone on the show (the contestants, that is) is much over 30, but she looks like she's pushing 40. And she's not very good, either.

So, the bottom three was Daphna (agree), Heather (agree), and Jessica (not agree). Daphna sang Rock the Casbah, and came out in a white ball gown with black leather elbow length gloves. I was like, "What the FUCK?!?!" And, as Jon Farriss said, she "totally murdered" it! It effing sucked. Heather mutilated Sheryl Crow's If It Makes You Happy. She did it all mellow, and that is a rock song where you can scream a little bit in the chorus. She was all, "Oh I'm sick" but she just sucked. I thought Jessica did alright, thought the asshole JD should have been in the bottom three. Like, INXS told him to be less cocky and so he sings We Are the Champions and on top of that he so fucking SUCKED at it. I also thought it was funny that he strongarmed Jordis into letting him have the song. He got the song, started practicing it and realized that those high notes are really high to hit, and then tries to bully Jordis into switching songs. What an ass!!

Anyway, INXS shocked everybody by sending two people home. I totally agreed that they both sucked, but I was thinking they'd give Daphna a second try since in the first two weeks they all had such hard-ons for her. I was so hoping that Tara would be in the bottom three, she should have been sent home. Maybe she'll suck again next week!
