This week's performance episode consisted of two songs, voted by the fans.
Suzie - sang "Interstate Love Song" by Stone Temple Pilots. Showed she can rock Interacted with the audience. Sang with power but didn't scream.
- sang "What's Up" by 3 Non Blondes. Good concert talking inbetween songs. Was very strong in the higher range, but too Courtney Love.
J.D. - sang "Pretty Vegas" an original. Still acting like a Michael Hutchence clone. Needs to get rid of the megaphone. WTF is up with kissing Dave Navarro?
- sang "Money" by Pink Floyd. Good version, but used big Broadway voice. Throwing the play money out to the audience was lame. Needs to quit using props and concentrate on singing.
Marty - sang "Creep" by Radiohead. Good delivery. Very dark. Didn't scream for once.
- sang "Trees" an original. His guitar playing didn't take away from his vocals. Having Dave Navarro play acoustic guitar on the version was cool. Didn't scream.
Mig - sang "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones. Intro was too Broadway but the rest of the song was awesome. Good version and good arrangement. Shouldn't have screamed at the end of the song.
- sang "Kiss From A Rose" by Seal. Good arrangement. Showed how wide his range is. Another good display of his versatility.
The voting results were revealed and the three that received the least amount of votes sang an INXS song. Before the final round, Marty was asked to do an encore performance of his original song "Trees." Before he sang the song he smashed a gorgeous Gibson jumbo acoustic guitar on stage. Up until this moment, I had hoped that he would win and become the new lead singer of INXS. After the guitar smashing, I would rather see J.D., who I've loathed since the beginning, win.
Suzie - sang "Suicide Blonde." Good version. Made it funky. She finally acted and performed like a lead singer.
J.D. - sang "By My Side." Used big Broadway voice on chorus. Too breathy on the verses.
Mig - sang "What You Need." Good stage presence. The crowd went ballistic. Excellent performance - even tore his shirt like a rocker.
After the performances, INXS reminded Suzie that this was Suzie's 6th time to be in the bottom three. Unfortunately, they told her she was not right for the band.
