Anybody watching the INXS show?

I wasn't going to watch this as I thought it was a pretty lame excuse for a reality show (um, sorry, just realised how dumb that sounded, like they are usually anything BUT lame!), but I flicked over during the ad breaks a week or so back and was hooked!

That Jurdis Unga can sing - man, if I could sing, I'd want to sing like her! I can't believe she's only 22. I'm hoping in a way that she doesn't win because I think she has a great career ahead as a solo singer. Her rendition of the Bowie classic The Man Who Sold The World was even better than the original.

A couple of the guys are pretty good (Ty and the skinny blonde one) but the rest of the women are obviously just there for show because they can't sing for shit!

Yeah I hate american idol and all those crap shows but i like this one. Watch it just mainly for the songs, there are some pretty mint ones that they sing, some damn good singers too. I was guttered the hot chick got kicked off last week though.

I don't know, I reckon Amazing Race, The Contender and The Apprentice (just, if only to see the comedy of the whole show) are okay reality shows. The rest are very painful. The INXS show, while having some great singers, I don't like. Maybe I'm being shallow, but INXS were a great band (thanks mostly to Michael but not taking anything away from the other members talents) that should have died when Michael did. Will never be the same.

True, a bit like Queen trying to replace Freddy Mercury - can't be done! The Amazing Race is okay, but the whining yanks get on my nerves after a while. Haven't watched the Contender, but Trump's hair would put me off ever watching The Apprentice! :rofl:

I was going to mention Queen, but was called away by my job. Inconsiderate bastards!! Trumps hair is a big part of the attraction!! Kidding.
The contender is quite cool, its the final show on Wednesday but don't watch it otherwise you'll think it's just a boxing match. The development of the show up to tonight makes the whole series.

Whinning yanks? The accent can be a little grating at times but it's about couples (whether in a romantic relationship, plutonic or family) put in pressure situations, bound to see the odd spark fly.

God I love spoiling things for others .....

At the end, they don't vote for any of them !!!! :psst: :motu:
