Rock Star INXS part 4- jordis Unga

Jordis Unga came in at 5th place in the competition... She was, by far, my favorite female preformer on the show. She has an almost raw, smokey, voice that draws you in.. Below is the video of her doing Imagine. Generally speaking, the original of a song is always better than a cover of it. For some reason, Jordis singing this song almost brought me to tears because it was so heartfelt, I think... 

.

I enjoyed just about all of Jordis's performances, although she did kinda butcher Aerosmiths Dream On... but I think it is just because his voice reaches higher than hers in parts of that song. She was in a girly band for a while, sometime after the show.. I am not sure that they are actually together anymore though.. I kind of like her voice solo anyways.. The next video is her singing The Man Who Sold The World.

One of my favorites of her songs, though, is called Try Not, I think it is a Jordis Original

Rock Star INXS part 3 - Suzie McNeil

Suzie McNeil wasn't actually one of my favorite of favorites but she did make it to the top 4.It wasn't that I did not like her, she was good, just not my favorite.. Since the show, however, she has made an album and quite a few videos for the songs on said album... Here is an example of her on the show doing Suicide Blonde.

I really like some of her post show music videos such as the two below.. The first song, I really like but I hate the make up she has on in it... 

This next song, is again, one I really like.. Then again, it seems that I like most of the songs on her album... Anyways, this one is called Supergirl

Next up is Jordis Unga

Rock Star INXS part 2- MiG Ayesa

MiG had a really great voice. He was also one of those people that just seems to grow on you. He was born in the Philippines, and raised in Sydney, Australia.. This first video is the polished version of Baby I Love Your Way.

This is MiG singing Lola. It was pretty darn good! I was trying to find a clip of his original song for the show, but was unable to do so.... So Lola is taking its place.

Since the show, he has done a bit but not nearly as much as I would have liked to have seen from him.. This is a video from a new song of his. I LOVE this song... The woman in the video is his wife.. I think they are the cutest couple....

 Next up is Suzie McNeil!!!

Rock Star INXS part 1- Marty Casey

 In 2005 INXS went on the hunt for a new lead singer for their band. They held a reality tv competition, sort of like American Idol but much better. My favorites all landed in the top 5 with one of them eventually landing in the top 2. The top 2 consisted of Marty Casey and J.D. Fortune. J.D. won, much to my dismay. From what I understand, though, they eventually booted him out of the band because of a drug addiction.. I hope he was able to clean up, I never wished him ill will despite him being one of my least favorites... 

Anyways, Marty Casey had a band of his own prior to the show and after the show, made an album with it. He was offered the lead singing position for L.A. Guns and took that. They did a big tour but I don't think that they ever released an album. I am not even sure if he is still fronting for them. 

On the show, he was assigned Brittany Spears' song Baby One More Time... He totally rocked it! He made it sound raw and almost dark... It was pretty awesome. Then for his original song on there he sang a rough version of Trees. The album version is a bit different, a little more polished, but every version he has sung has been good.. It is my kids favorite song of his.

The following link is to one of my other favorite songs of his called Casualty. It contains one of my favorite lines ever sang in a song or said in a poem. 

"We're drifting through the questions

Swimming for the answers"

This is video of a live performance not recorded professionally.. I really like watching him perform.

Just for kicks, I am also adding his version of Baby One More Time. When he sings his mouth moves kind of weird. I don't know if it is him enunciating more than most or what... 

Next up; MiG Ayesa...
