Rock Star: INXS - Round 4

 Jordis - sang "Gimme Some Lovin'" by the Spencer Davis Group.  Got audience involved.  Stayed in pitch, something the rest of the rockers are having alot of trouble with.  Missed a line of the song but nobody cared.  She rocked.
Suzie - sang "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder. Nailed it. Could understand all of the words. Gambled by playing the harmonica, and won.
Jessica - sang "Because The Night" by Patti Smith.  Picked a bad key for the arrangement.  Sounded like Cher singing Natalie Merchant.  Looked like a Vegas showgirl with the feathers coming out of her halter.
Mig - sang "Lola" by the Kinks. Good arrangement. Stayed in pitch. The red military coat was classic rock and roll.
Brandon - sang "Tempted" by Squeeze.  Struggled.  Pitch was bad. Needs to actually sing instead of talking the song.
Ty - sang "Everybody Hurts" by REM. Major props for doing the acoustic thing.  Didn't use the big Broadway voice for a change.  Really worked the song.
Heather - sang "If It Makes You Happy" by Sheryl Crow. The key was way too low.  Struggled through entire song. Pitch was all over the place; voice was very shakey.
J.D. - sang "We Are The Champions" by Queen.  Intro was weak - couldn't understand the words. Pitch was way off.  Was the worst performance of this round.  Even INXS said "You did not do the song justice."  Ouch.
Deanna - sang "Give A Little Bit" by Supertramp.  Bad choice of song, but worked it the best she could with the acoustic thing. Voice was shakey.
Daphna - sang "Rock The Casbah" by the Clash. Too forceful.  Pitch was way off.  Looked like she had on her nightgown.  INXS said she "murdered the song." Ouch Ouch.
Tara - sang "Suffragette City" by David Bowie. Coolest outfit of the entire 4 rounds so far.  Sounded like Cher singing David Bowie. Came across as campy, but the outfit made up for being cute.
Marty - sang "Lithium" by Nirvana. Weak on the soft parts of the song. Lost pitch on the screaming parts of the song.


The voting results were revealed, and the three with the least amount of votes performed an INXS song.

Daphna - sang "What You Need." Another fave INXS song. Could have taken the song and ran with it.  A lackluster performance.
Heather - sang "By My Side." Couldn't hit the low notes.  Couldn't hit the high notes.
Jessica - sang "Elegantly Wasted."  Elegantly worked the stage like a pro - no bump and grind, no standing rigid like a robot.

In an unprecented move, INXS booted out Daphna and Heather.  They told them that neither of them really did anything to prove they wanted to stay.
