Watched Rock Star: INXS tonight for the first time. Pretty cool!

No "fromage" ala American Idol , Canadian Idol, etc. on this show.

Total Rock!! These folks sing real rock songs, Nirvana, Queen, REM, Stones, etc.. No Barry Manilow tributes on this show :rofl:

This contest is hosted by Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chiles) and a yummy Brooke Burke :p , and the winner will be the new INXS lead singer. A few Canadian contestants are in the mix too.

Check it out.

There's a couple of really refreshing concepts in this show:

1. song choices aren't gay - no whitney houston or celine or barry manilow
2. no "ah-ight, dawg" or "you looked really beautiful" comments

There does seem to be two front runners: Jordis and Ty

Com' on guys. This is just another stupid reality show brought to you by the same guy who invented Survivor and The Apprentice.

Donald Trump, INXS ... it's all the same BS. Raise someones celebrity status from the un-dead and make money in the process.

Of course, so what? It's just some fun without having to dig deep into the cerebral cortex. That's all I expect from mainstream TV.
