"Rockstaaa" (<--- add Aussie accent) INXS
Rockstar INXS has been a disaster for CBS. Maybe karma came around for the band as they are truly, in every sense of the word, capitalizing on their former lead singer commiting suicide. I actually somewhat enjoy the show because I love some of the rock classic songs that are sung on the show. No doubt some of the "rockers" (as Brooke Burke says) have great voices and are enjoyable to watch. But once their performances are over, the butt kissing begins and I cringe. First off, I can't even really remember an INXS song, maybe one from the eighties. Most of the performers are my age so I am pretty sure they don't know the INXS songs. I think they are all frontin' that they "love the band" because just looking at the band...well, they look like, what they really are....a washed-up couple-hit wonder 80's band who are all in their 50's. And all these musicians are struggling, caught the reality TV bug and just would like the noteriety of being on TV. It is just so cheeseball listining to Brooke Burke talk about the rockers and when INXS cuts the rockers they say "You're just not right for our band INXS". It's like they are trying to brainwash us. INXS, INXS, INXS. One reason I know that most of these "rockers" are kissing so much a** it is that they are changing their style of performance according to what the band has to say. For instance "the rocker" Marty likes to scream and gets this possessed look on his face when he sings. The band clearly doesn't like it and lets him know. And he comprimises his style to the bands liking. Being somewhat of a musicican (yes, I write music too) I would never stop being myself in my vocals or my perfomances for some washed-up band. I would say take it or leave it. This is me and this is how I sing. That is how I know these guys are making it a little too obvious they are kissing INXS butt.
