"Rock Star INXS"

I'm a sucker for most reality show fare, so I make no exception for Rock Star INXS, where the remaining members of the group pick from a number of hopefuls to replace their overly horny or depressed lead singer who hung himself while doing something else to himself.

First comment on the show: it claims to have done an exhaustive worldwide search for candidates. While they all prove to be decent singers and performers, if I were say the drummer in the band, I might think "there are the BEST singers out there? ! ? Krikies!!!" (or whatever expletives Aussies like to use).

Second comment: Brooke Burke is pretty annoying. Both pretty AND annoying.

Comment 3: Dave Navarro is almost as pretty as B.B. and not as annoying. He's a'ight in my book.

Comment 4: Is this REALLY the best way INXS had to replace Michael Hutchence or is there something else going on here? I mean the surviving Doors plucked Ian Astbury from the Cult and Freddie Mercury's left-overs in Queen picked up Paul Rodgers. You tellin' me INXS couldn't convince Terence Trent D'Arby or Richard Ashcroft of the Verve or ANYBODY who has some cred and maybe not much going on, to front their group? C’mon Farriss brothers and you other guys, give us a break...

Last Comment: There’s NO FRIKKIN’ way a woman gets picked to front this band. She couldn’t sing half the old song lyrics without sounding like a lesbian - not that there’s anything wrong with that.....
