The Find A New Singer For INXS Thingy

Post by Mike Boom »

This is soooo embarrassingly bad its unbelievable - a bunch rock singer wannabes. The girls are all like that horrible woman from 4 Non Blondes and the guys are horrible Jim Morrisson try hards. Excruciatingly terrible.
echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load

But, in my humble opinion, its probably better than watching the real INXS videos for an hour...

They all sound perfect for an INXS audition ;)

I agree. I was flipping channels last night and watched a couple minutes, it was really, really awful. I couldn't find the remote fast enough when that chick was extemporaneous singing/screaming about losing her dad or whatever the hell that was and how the other contestants were touched by it.

Looking at INXS now, that band needs to hang it up. They're old looking, fat, washed up, and worse than all of that, quite full of themselves. They were an awful band back in their prime. And Dave Navarro?? Geez, he must be hard up for work.

Uh huh, this was the worst part/highlight - it tipped the show from just plain horrible to train wreck status.

I have to admit that the guy with the mohawk who sung Cult of Personality (is that it?... Living Color song) was very very good. If he doesn't succeed in his quest this time, I am sure he will do well for himself elsewhere as a result of the exposure.

But yes, chalk another one up for "train/terrain wreck" status.

To each their own, etc. But, besides anything else, this thing is such an obvious disservice to the memory of Michael Hutchence.

Move along folks, there's nothing more to see.
