I say the same thing about the Smashing Pumpkins. And Friends. And people reading the DaVinchi Code. Or going to see Wedding Crashers or Star Wars movies.
 
 No, INXS was not one of the great rock bands of our time. But they are one of those guilty 80's pleasures.
 
 Early on, some of the performances were pretty bad, and that was fun to laugh at. Some of the performances were actually decent, and the songs were generally good classic rock songs.
 
 The goofy looks on the INXS guys and Dave Navarro's faces as well ast he air drumming and singing along as they watched the performances were priceless. They all seemed like generally nice guys who generally found positive things to say to all of the contestants, rather than berating them like I've heard they do on American Idol.

The whole thing is that INXS would have probably been better off with Terrence Trent D'Arby who was once considered as the replacement.  At least with D'Arby they would have had a singer with a bit of soul, which is what Hutchence always tried for but could never muster.  
 
 INXS had come great singles, but in the end were a plodding outfit.  Take a listen to the rather lifeless bass lines...

I heard you get syphillis from tittyfucking to Shins songs. Cripes, who fucks to Shins songs, other than Natalie Portman. And it made her go bald.

I only picked that song because  "Girl On The Wing" is one letter off from "Girl on the Wang" which fit the thread title.

My wife mentioned that she had read that thread, and when I told her it was you who had started it, she said something to the effect of "You mean he actually gets laid?"

You misunderstood her. She said "you mean he actually gets laid, other then me." She was pissed on the phone last night.

Somebody must have liked the blond guy. His band's album is currently #17 on the Amazon sales chart.

Ah by that logic, The Time Travellers wife should win the Pullitzer, and Hillary Duff is a genius.
 
 INXS died when Hutchence passed on.  NO ONE can replace him..   WHY?? cause he wasn't just a great singer he was a FRIGGIN ICON!!  He had killer stage presence without having to rip his shirt off, prance around like a fruit, get tattoos, or make stupid dance moves.  He had "IT".
 
 That you can't buy.  But as this show sure describes, you can manufacture it but sure as hell aint gonna fool me.
 
 The fact INXS did this show was pathetic.
 
 Darby as a replacement would have been interesting cause it would have been a different band, but Darby is a total egomaniac.  so that doesn't surprise me.
 
 PS - I see no one has been able to answer my question..    :p

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Michael Hutchence an icon? Ummm, that's a bit of a stretch. Quite a stretch.
 
 To answer your question:
 
 Here's a good question, how does the suddenly new picked singer know how to sing the bands brand new lead off single???
 
    The music for the album has been in the can for awhile. They took the three finalists and rehearsed and recorded the single with them in advance. Then, when the winner was picked, he already knew the song.
    I also read that they performed a mini-concert at the taping (the show was not live). In the concert, he performed the single twice, the first time with lyric sheets in hand. Obviously, they used the version where he wasn't holding the lyric sheet.
    Does that answer your question? It's not really rocket science, is it?

Ok... first off skippy.. stop acting like a reactionary f'up.
 
 I asked a question that someone already answered, and I asked it cause I don't waste my time with this drivell programming.
 
 Someone provide an answer.. thanks..  you know what, it was acutally "insightful".
 
 Since I am not molesting my postman for the latest news from Entertainment Weekly, and praying someone doesn't get voted off the latest butmunch mound..  you can go peruse this thread till it dies off the first page all you want.
 
 That being said I'll just leave this last quote not from myself.  From Shirley Manson in todays Post:
 
 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/22/AR2005092201052.html
 
 Shirly Manson also slammed Australian band INXS for using a reality show to find a replacement for its former lead singer, Michael Hutchence, who committed suicide in 1997.
 
 Canadian J.D. Fortune was chosen as INXS' new lead singer for an upcoming tour as the climax to CBS' "Rock Star: INXS."
 
 "It isn't INXS without Michael Hutchence," said Manson.
 
 "I feel like in life you have to be prepared to let go of something in order for new growth to occur in your life. And I think it is unhealthy to be constantly coming back to recreate the past," she said. "You should forge forward instead of being sentimental about things that have gone by."
 
 nuff said... enjoy your thread

And I suppose the lead singer of Garbage is an "icon" as well.
 
 Andrew Farriss was and is the guy who writes INXS' songs. It thus seemed pretty clear that Hutchence was the dynamic frontman that gave the lyrics a voice and the band a pretty face. It's not even like the rest of the band had a choice in his departure. He basically robbed them of their means to a livelihood by selfishly taking his life. Thus, if they can find a dynamic frontman to sing Andrew Farriss' songs, I say go for it.
