Anyone watching this. I just caught it the last 2 nights and it's a little corney. The INXS drummer playing air drums durring peoples preformance is quite the cheese. Dave Navarro even joined him last night. It seem like more of a way for INXS to get their name back out there. Does anyone relaly want to see any of these yahoos lead INXS? For that matter does anyone want to see INXS with out Michael Hutchens (SP)? The guy that did Devil Inside last night suuuuuuuuucked. It looked like a Mad TV skit with the guy that plays Stweart.Every person that sings gets the "your so great I was blown away" speach. They need to get Simon up in that piece.OK just yapping.......

Absolutely not.
Oh man I forgot about the TLC show. Yea, the whole "Replace our dead bandmate" is lame.
Can these dudes not see this thing falling flat on its ayasss after the series is over?
You cant replace a legend, no matter who it is... if they died near or at the peak of their career... dont even bother son.. its gonna be shiiiiiit.
All these shows make their production money from those stoopidly shhiiiit phone-ins too.
Then cue 70 thousand foo's texting in..... KER-CHIinnnggggggg.
YO, ITV OR WHOEVER THE HELL IT IS....... PUT SOME OF YOUR OWN DAMN MONEY INTO SOME DECENT TV AND STOP MAKING SHIIIIIIIIT.
I think that's why it's weird. I actually liked INXS when I was in high school and even played covers of them in a high school band. That's why i can't see any of these "rockers" comming even close to leading a huge group.
BTW I didn't really know his death was a mystery. Maybe your just being nice. Is "mystery" a code word for autoerotic asphyxiation (SP)? I don't mind saying it because I've know 2 people that have died from it so I think it's important for people to know that it's not cool and you shouldn't do it. One kid was a 14 year old son of a lady I worked with and it was really horrible for the whole work place. It was a small store an we all hung out and knew eachother.
Please people, if you want to do a little faux choking with you partner keep it safe, but don't ever do that stuff by yourself!!!!!!!!!
the chick from joydrop? i don't have cable to watch - though i don't think i could stomach it - but i heard she's on it and someone else from Toronto- is that true?
Care to tell us who? I won't diss.
You can actually catch it on ABC (?) Tues and Wed. I didn't even know it was on cable until last night when they announced it. Not sure, but I guess Sundays on VH1 they have them all in a house (that's original) taking voice lessons etc and then T&W are the preformance and vote etc. Only seen 2 shows so I don't know the whole deal. Usually you can get on the websites and see chips and stuff.
ha! what!?!?
Sorry I missed that. As in Mick Jagger strut?
And yess, Dave is no longer cool. I guess it's better than ODing on heroin. He might be "rich cool" but not "cool cool".
Suzie on the show.
I know the last thing she did was this huge tribute show Abba Mania all across North America. She really is super nice and zero attitude IRL.
I work with a bunch of artist that are semi-well known.
MissBassie: No not Tara from Joydrop.
DOesnt he get to fuck carmen electra. She skanky, but that is still pretty cool.
anyways, i got bigger fish to fry here. see, there seems to be a right dangerous trend with these reality game show things. and that is this. why is it that american TV execs find it necessary to have all these shows judged by a bunch of limey brits? i mean, im not trying to knock the british culture or anything, but seriously, what's the reasoning behind this? does middle america really see the english as some sort of unbiased group of wise-acres that can dig deep within america's hopefuls and find true talent? i mean, it hasnt worked so far. in fact, a friend of mine was telling me about some british show that american idol basically copied. yeah, and that show has a reputation for cursing popstar's careers. like, its better for your career to actually lose on that show than to win, cuz the winners get stuck in some shitty contract and make shitty music.
i'm in toronto, if the transmitter isn't in my city - it's cable! well, we get a fuzzy PBS.
no matter - i don't think i'd watch it. i'm currently hooked on so you think you dance to be honest.
He described his "system" of "looking like a rock star" as "peacocking". He sat in a chair and wrapped a white feather boa around his neck while the contestants stood across from him and rolled their eyes.
i caught the first episode with the cheerleader pop locking girl. man, she fucking ruled that shit!
saw last nights episode and was kinda bored with it.
I think it's cuz a lot of these shows are rip offs of British show. So they have various connections. Trading Spaces was originally a british show as well as others. Plus, the US loves S&M so we get off on being wipped by our ex-bosses.
I always like Letterman's joke for his Will It Float segmant. "A lot of you know we stole this from the British show 'Is It Bouyant'"
that blake dude played the blond choreographer like a violin with his crying dance - pu-lease!!
predictably, i'm rooting for alan.
HA HA! that shit was so classic. dude knows how to work a room full of drama queens. he's like the dance version of myself, if i may say so. sheeeit you shouldve seen justin cry like a baby when i broke into "we belong" by pat benetar at the karaoke box last week.
in related news, were they showing that fat joe boost mobile tv ad featuring thes one's carrier pigeon. madison avenue is climbing the fucking walls for some rap lips validation.
What channel is the dance show on?
CTV - channel 9.
haha.
I watched last night. Co-sign on the devil inside guy and the brother singing the INXS tune sucked ass. I thought the girl who sang Man who Sold the World did a decent job. Still, it makes you appreciate how effective Hutchence (sp?) and Cobain were, even without the pipes they could stop a block (no Mellencamp).
What's Navarro doing there? Is he joining the band too? Also, was his shirt off while judging? I'd say 50% of the time you that guy he's sans blouse. Navarro went down the pipes when he joined the Chili Peppers even while hating their music, nothing less cool than playing for the money.
