This week's performance episode consisted of each rocker performing a song that was the most requested by the fans and an original.
J.D. - sang "Come As You Are" by Nirvana. Couldn't understand the words. Sounded too breathy.
Self-written song - "Pretty Vegas" - a catchy tune, but talked instead of sang. Looks like he watched every concert on video that INXS ever made. Screamed and couldn't understand the words to the song.
Suzie - sang "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt. Could feel the emotion. Very smoothe. Good effect of sitting on a stool in the middle of the stage.
Self-written song - "Soul Life" Could understand the words. Put emotion into the song. Sang with power instead of screaming.
Mig - sang "Hard To Handle" by the Black Crowes. Prissed around the stage like a girl. Didn't scream like the other guys. Good interaction with the band and audience.
Self-written song - "Home In Me" - could feel it. Played the piano but didn't take anything away from the vocals. Felt the emotion. Showed how versatile he is..
Jordis - sang "We Are The Champions" by Queen. Was uncharacteristically shakey on the verse, but strong on the chorus. Crowd went ape. Very powerful in the upper range.
Self-written song - "Try Not" Very Edie Brickel or Fiona Apple. Talked instead of singing.
Marty - sang "Everlong" by Foo Fighters. Didn't scream for once, but had trouble with pitch. Good acoustic version. Props for showing his g-string strap.
Self-written song - "Trees." Very INXS. A very catchy tune. Screamed a bit too much, but the song was as good as any you'd hear on pop radio today.
The voting results were revealed and the three that received the least amount of votes sang an INXS song.
Jordis - sang "Need You Tonight." Could have blown them away but was very uncomfortable and unsure.
Suzie - sang "Never Tear Us Apart." Very soulful performance. Took control of the song and made it her own.
J.D. - sang "Mystify." Still my least favorite of the Rockstars, but gave the best INXS song performance of this round. Could actually understand the words.
INXS seemed a bit sad when they told the Rockstars that it wasn't going to get any easier. Then they solemnly gave Jordis the news that she wasn't right for the band.
