don't know about you guys, but i think this show is the most stupid, pathetic and dumb thing on TV at the moment... it is just a ridiculous and sad attempt to revive the band's long gone popularity and luckly it seems Brain thinks the same - from his late post on his blog. he says it in somewhat subtle way - but anyway i am gald that that's what he thinks cos if Queen would ever do such a thing i swear i will burn all their albums that i've been collecting for years and announce the end of our affair...
thank god for their sanity.

I read Brian's post today and thought WTF?
Reason... I have always hated this show due to the morbid concept of it all. I like talent shows, but not trying to get a replacement for your DEAD lead singer.
However....Brian REGULARLY CROWS about this show on his website, and supposedly even co-wrote one of the songs was it..that Mig sang last week?
I don't think more than 2 days go by without Brian going off about how wonderful the show is, and Brian reviewing it la da la da, and it's very obvious Brian LOVES the exposure the show gives to Queen's music, via the contestant's covering Queen songs, and Mig from WWRY being a contestant.
....Then...all of a sudden today...Brian finds the show's concept morbid and doesn't like it. After WEEKS of NUMEROUS CROWING.
I repeat....WTF!!!!!!

When I first heard about it I thought it was so tacky, and I still do to some extent but that hasn't stopped me watching it.
It's just entertainment...I was never really that into INXS anyway.

Having just read the Soapbox entry...
please excuse my ignorance but was Mig in WWRY? That's pretty cool...who was he then?

I use to hate it but now I love it. I bet they're gonna send suzie home because she's a girl, I doubt they want a girl singer in their band. Am I right?
I agree this is a stupid and pathetic way to
find a new lead singer. Glad Queen did not do this. How dumb. And the show sucks.

I didnt like it at first either but now I cant miss a show. I think its a great marketing idea for INXS. THey certainly have gotten alot of exposure and awareness. Weather it will last is another issue.The contestants are very talented and its a great opportunity for them weather they make the band or not.Its better than IDOL!
If you have seen the show, or watch it on a regular basis....who do you want to win?
Who do you think will win?

I hope Mig wins.

From Brian's website...
''In 2002, he (mig) moved to London and starred in ''We Will Rock You,'' a stage musical featuring the music of the famed British rock band Queen.
I want Jordis to win but we're a couple of weeks behind everyone else...so maybe I shouldn't look at this thread anymore. My money's on Mig to win really.
I think J.D. has a very good chance.
His song "Pretty Vegas" just may win him the job.
When he sings that song, the others sit over there like "oh shit".....
I am predicting a Mig & J.D. in the finals.
Mig's voice is lacking something... I too was for Jordis in the beginning, but she lost it towards the end, from Aerosmith's "Dream on" till' when they kicked her off.... she just sat that, looking all emotional, tears in her eyes...etc
If this was a show to replace the lead singer for Air Supply, then Mig would have it wrapped up....
But when J.D. performs lately, you absolutely can tell Mig is intimidated.
And Marty & Suzie.... lame.
Both their voices gave out on last night's (9-13-05) show.
Suzie ruined a STP song, then tried 4 NON BLondes song "whats going on"....when she tried the high parts....her voice gave out.
Marty sang his own bad song, then he did Radiohead's "Creep" ,,,,the high part at the end.... he couldn't handle.

I agree JD has a great voice.Too bad he has a attitude,he can come across a little cocky.I did vote for Mig because he has been consistent with his performances.He never sang a song badly. He also has never been in the bottom three.
I was rooting for Ty, personally.
Nothing like having a bunch of aging white guys being led by a sprited young black guy.
Given the current slate, I still say that Freddie could've beaten them all with one swift "ehhhhh-dop!"

Okay, once again... it's just INXS!!!
The band was DEAD. Dead, dead, dead! If they came back with say Jimmy Barnes do you think anybody would even notice or care? Sure it maybe tasteless, but it's probably the only way they can get any publicity whatsoever. MH ended their careers, so IMO they don't owe him anything. The mourning period is over.
And say what you want about the performers, but at least Suzie actually SANG BoRap! I just finished listening to ROTC and using a video pre-recorded Freddie was a disgrace (and I'm not even anti-Q+PR tour). If you're going to perform the song then actually perform the song. Don't get me started on Roger and Radio GaGa!
