Does MIG make anyone else wonder if Willam Dafoe spent some time in Australia about 20 something years ago and has a secret that he didn't want the world to know?

Good call on the genetics.

So, was anyone truly surprised that JD won?

He is the best fit for INXS. MiG just couldn't shake his theater background and Marty's style is better suited for a new sound. Marty's screaming doesn't work well with a "dance rock" style.

I picked JD from the first episode. But, I'm very happy that Marty will be the opening act for the world tour. I might have to get tickets.

So, was anyone truly surprised that JD won?

I had JD fingered from early on as well. I kind of lost faith in him halfway through the season, but he came back with a vengeance. Mig totally blew it by singing Queen as his final song. I have no clue what was going through his head when he thought that would be a good idea. I felt he pretty much just threw his chance away by doing that. Marty is a great singer and has a good presence, but he truly wasn't right for the band. I'm also glad he'll be opening up for them on tour, I think he could do well on his own.

My wife hated JD's personality and so she was really disappointed in him winning. I feel he's the perfect fit. He can nail the old stuff and is putty in their hands for the new stuff. In the end, I think that's what they really wanted. A singer who has good stage presence, can sing old and new, and will gladly do anything they ask of him.

"Hey JD, can you sing that a little bit louder, and while your at it bring me another beer." :p

I was glad to see JD win. He was by far the best fit for INXS style of music. I won't say I had him pegged but from the time he did that Alannis Morissette song with the different arrangement (a song I really dislike the original of but dug his version) I really began to like him and root for him.

I was concerned that MiG might get it even though I thought his performances over the past 3 or 4 weeks have been awful.

While we are on the subject. Marty's original song "Trees". While it is an original song it was totally a rip off of a band named The Toady's. Anyone heard the Toady's? The had a pretty decent hit a few years ago with the song Possum Kingdom. A few of them are now in a band named The Burden Brothers. Martys song sounded so much like a Toadys song that every time I would hear it I would end up with Toadys songs stuck in my head.

Mig was done way before the last episode. The only real competition was between JD and Marty. My girlfriend and I called JD several months ago. Marty, as noted earlier, is more modern rock and not the pop rock/dance rock INXS does. Marty is also too blond for INXS.

JD will fit them very well I think. Now it just depends on if INXS is just wanting a front man or a true lead singer/leader. 'Cause JD thinks he is the latter and not just eye candy with a voice and he'll cause all kinds of hell if they put him in that category.

Baby, the Toadies are a Dallas/Ft. Worth band and I saw them play several times. Loved the Toadies. One of my home town's contributions to the music scene.

Nice. Knew they were from Texas. Also I am a big Toadies fan. HAven't had a chance to check out the entire new Burden Brothers disc but the single I have heard sounds a lot like the Toadies.

So thoughts on Martys song and the Toadies?

Well, I would have picked Mig....

JD tends to imitate whoever he happens to be covering at the time. He adds the appropriate fake accent and everything. I guess he does a decent Michael Hutchens impersonation though. No biggie. I did like his original song though.

Marty really writes decent songs. But he can't sing well. His pitch is aweful. I would not hire him to host Karaoke.

Mig had the best voice and the most range and a decent attitude. JD is a punk. Oh well. INXS has been washed up since before Hutchens died. Mig got great exposure and will be much better off not saddled with that gig.

RIK

Anybody watch this show?

Any other "termination lines" from other shows?

Just knix all the one-liners & bring back the 'gong'.
