Rockstar: INXS - Round 7

Jordis - sang "Knocking On Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan.  Good arrangement, especially with the string quartet.  Put emotion into the strong parts of the song.  You could feel it.
Jessica - sang "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia. Sounded like Top 40 karaoke.  Shakey on the intro. No passion or emotion.
Ty - sang "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart. Good arrangement.  Had bun with the song.  Used big Broadway voice. Screamed too much.
Suzie - sang "Bring It On Home To Me" by Sam Cooke.  Good arrangement. Nailed it.  Should do more R&B.  Was very Janis Joplin-esque.
Marty - sang "Baby One More Time" by Brittany Spears. Excellent.  Good arrangement. Loved the darkness he into the song.  Clothes were very rock and roll.
Deanna - sang "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt.  Voice was shakey.  Lost pitch on low parts.  Seemed very uncomfortable with the song.
Mig - sang "Baby I Love Your Way" by Peter Frampton.  Excellent version with just the strings and him playing piano.  Felt it.  Showed emotion.  First standing ovation of the show.
J.D. - sang "As Tears Go By" by the Rolling Stones.  Too breathy. No control over voice. Talked instead of singing. No passion or emotion.

The voting results were revealed and the three with the least amount of votes sang an INXS song.
 
Suzie - sang "By My Side."  Stayed on pitch.  Built the song with each verse until the peak - showed her full strength and control. 
Jessica - sang "Mystify." INXS reminded her this was the 4th week in a row she'd been in the bottom three.  Stayed on pitch.  Another good version of an INXS song.
Deanna - sang "Never Tear Us Apart."  Didn't use her rock and roll voice - toned it down a bit.

The fourth time was not the charm for Jessica.  She got the boot when  INXS told her that she wasn't right for the band.
