American Idol Sux

Tuesday, July 12

Rockstar Rocks.

I'll admit. I haven't bought into this reality show hype, and these shows that vote people off every episode. Last night I watched a new show on CBS called Rockstar: INXS. The show brings 15 of the "best undiscovered talents" from around the world to compete to be the new lead singer of the rock band INXS. This is way better than American Idol ever was. These contestants actually rock out. And the only person that really sucked on the first episode was voted off already. My favorite from the first show was this guy on the left: Ty Taylor. He performed "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour. Nailed it. This guy has done professional gigs before, so he's pretty comfortable performing. Some guy did a Nirvana song, and murdered it. Kurt was turning in his grave. The chick that got the boot killed "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" by Dylan. That song has been redone out the ass by too many artists to count. She should have left it alone.

I'm currently watching tonight's episode. I think I may vote online after it's over. I'm only halfway through and this one chick Jordis. She has a Pink kind of appearance and voice but rocks to the likes of Anthrax and Damageplan. She tried a Nirvana song and made it her own.

I usually don't make a habit of watching anything prime-time on purpose (with the exception of a good Smallville episode here and there). Last night was an accident. Tonight is on purpose. I think I'll see how this one rides out.
