Rockstar: INXS - Round 9

Ty - sang "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the Rolling Stones. Put too much soul into it. Used too much vibrato. Should have stuck with the cover version.
J.D. - sang "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis Presley. Used big Broadway voice. Lost pitch on climax of song.  Too busy on stage. Too distracting. The hat looked like he was playing dress-up.
Marty - sang "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd.  Excellent version.  Stayed on pitch and didn't scream for once.  Felt the emotion.  Was very Dylanesque.
Jordis - sang "Imagine" by John Lennon.  Very smoothe. Nailed the high notes. Stayed on pitch and stayed in rhythm while playing the guitar.
Mig - sang "Live And Let Die" by Paul McCartney.  Bad ass outfit.  Looked and acted like a rock star.  Orchestra was awesome.  Screamed a bit too much.
Suzie - sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.  Awesome version.  Orchestra and choir was awesome. Band was awesome on instrumentals and vocals.  Best performance of the entire season.  Was truly a show.

The voting results were revealed and the three that received the least amount of votes sang an INXS song.

J.D. - sang "This Time."  Sounded lethargic. Lost pitch and stayed off pitch.  Flat.
Ty - sang "The One Thing." Didn't use big Broadway voice, thank goodness, but growled on the verses.
Jordis - sang "Listen Like Thieves." Sounded very stiff and almost robotic. Didn't put any emotion into the song.

It's a shocker this week, as INXS tells all three that they gave underwhelming performances this week. The rockers can't believe it when INXS tells Ty he's just not right for the band.
