Rock Star: INXS

I have seen several reality shows, been stupified & disgusted at seeing first hand what some people will do just to get on tv. I have also seen a few shows that are on music and these usually do tend to be good. Rock Star:INXS leads the entire pack as this is one show that have showcased several good talents. However, only one can win the prize of fronting the very popular Australian band and if in the due process some of the others also get compensated by getting the offers for solo deals or an oppurtunity with another big band - all the better.

It is down to the wire, with the last female performer (Susie McNeil) eliminated, only three guys remain. Aussie Mig, American Marty & Canadian JD - these three have very powerful vocal styles and plenty of stage prescence and charisma. Although Suzie was my fav ever since I started watching the show, I feel that JD may win. One big reason is the super original song that he has sung in the competition. Marty also has an original song that seems to have become a hit with INXS, host Dave Navarro & the audience - but I don't like it. The lyrics seem silly & childish.



Fallin' asleep at the wheel again baby
You're drifting over the line
Your hands are tight but your losin' grip quickly
Fix me can you read the signs

Thumbin' your way to Vegas
Dirty and dreamin' of the other side
Save your tears and laughter
'Cause it doesn't matter what you find

It ain't pretty
After the show
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go
And if you think you need it
Here's the place to feed it
It ain't pretty

When everything that you know is wrong
And you find that you can barely survive
When those around you are crumbling downwards
Buried in the Sunset alive

Thumbin' your way to Vegas
Dirty and screamin' like you're back from hell
Keep your tears and laughters
'Cause it doesn't matter what you sell

It ain't pretty
After the show
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go
And if you think you want it
Here's the place to get it
It ain't pretty

Yeah...Yeaaah

It ain't pretty

Yeah....Yeaaah

Thumbin' your way to Vegas
Dirty and dreamin' like your out of control
Save your tears and laughter
Because this is the ride
And this is the show

It ain't pretty
After the show
It ain't pretty when the pretty that leaves you with no place to go
So if you think you want it
Just come in and get it
It ain't pretty

Song for the day - "Pretty Vegas" - JD FORTUNE
