    September 12th

    We all had personal meetings with INXS. It was the basis of this week's clinic. It was a chance for us to get up-front and personal with the band. They needed to ask us questions for which they needed answers to really get to understand who we are and where we've come from. I was glad they asked me about my theatre background because I knew they were concerned about my 'Rock Legitimacy'. I was able to explain to them why I had been in theatre - it was a better way of making money then waiting tables, while allowing me to work on my music. And I really enjoyed it. I have never regretted any theatre job I've had, especially WE WILL ROCK YOU. I could tell they really liked my diplomacy and good stable nature, but were concerned about my resistance to any conflict that may come my way. I told them that my acts of kindness in the mansion were not signs of weakness in character, but signs of being a team player and willingness to get the job done. The fact that I continued to challenge myself out of my comfort zone should have solidified that. The interview made me want to be part of INXS more than ever. They seem to be such a tight knit unit, it is obvious that they are truly concerned about how well we can all fit and compliment this well-oiled machine.
    The songs that INXS have chosen for me this week are “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal and “Paint It Black” by The Rolling Stones. I think it is obvious that INXS wants to see a darker side of my character as these songs certainly delve into the darker psyche. “Kiss From A Rose” is an extremely challenging song vocally, but one of my all time favorites. Us final four contestants have made a pact that when we finish our songs, we have to make sure there is nothing more we could have done to make them better. I am excited to give these songs everything I have. It is going to be a magical show.

    Mig:

    You had been looking and sounding so real and so down to earth, all while being a star! At some points, I wondered if they had not already chosen you and were doing this for the publicity. That said, in the past few weeks, you seem to have gone abit "Glam". You appear to have amazing talent, voice and heart. Back off the makeup and big hair, and theatrical clothers. These and keeping your voice real are the only thing standing in your way!

    Mig,
    I'm suprised you have made it this far, you are more of a pop singer or broadway performer than a rocker and I definately thought it should've been you going home instead of Suzie!!

    MiG - you are truly INTERNATIONAL! INXS need to realise this if they are to honestly take their music into the future. Your talent, stage presence, sex appeal and unforgettable voice, represent popular culture at its most powerful. Your sensitivity is a blessing and your cultural identity transferable and accessible on a global stage. Don't loose your fortune in Dixie land and don't scream when you can cream.

    MiG,
    It was exciting (and scary) to see you sing an INXS song last night. You rocked "What You Need", I loved it! I have been a fan the whole series and hope you go all the way and become the next lead singer on INXS. I have been listening to their albums lately and you are the only one who could do them justice. ((HUGS)) Good Luck next week!

    I have no doubt that this contest will show the world that you are a rockstar, with or with out INXS. My first glimpse of the show was week2, and you were on stage. My wife told me about the concept, and i told her you would win, with out seeing any other contestant. In 1985 i was a huge INXS fan, but honestly haven't followed them for 20 years. If i wasn't completely sold on you, tonight's song What You Need, drove the final rivet into the bonds that will keep you with INXS as long as YOU want.

    i doubt you actually read these, but if you do, just wanted to mention that the fact that you keep saying you have the most out all to lose if you lose the competition really doesn't shed a good light on you. you're such a cool dude, no need to keep mentioning what you have to lose. that shouldn't be why you win. your talent already has you as the winner. i think you are definitely the lead singer, and just want to see you more fearless.

    May I pls. remind our angry friends that Rockstar is a competition --- a showdown of talents and IS NOT ABOUT A JACKET. It's JUVENILE to take offense when obviously there was NO OFFENSE MEANT. I think it's a greater sin to let someone like JD Fortune, who has an ego bigger than himself, get away with it. For the first time after a looong time the world is seeing someone with culture, talent sensitivity and decency and what do you do? KILL HIM BECAUSE OF A JACKET.

    It's pitiful as obviously, you are finding the smallest excuse to bring the guy down since he's been a sure winner since Day 1. IF YOU ARE MARINES, SHOULDN'T YOU BE HELPING OUT IN NEW ORLEANS INSTEAD OF WHINING ON-LINE ABOUT A JACKET?

    To cestevens47---

    Your comment to RobertD about the Air Force being one step above ROTC says more about your own narrow-mindedness (and idiocy) than anything anyone else could negatively say about you.

    Try growing up. Your comment was tantamount to, "Same to you but more of it," or, "I know you are but what am I."

    MiG you were AWESOME!

    You are the one for INXS - everyone else is fabulous as well, but you were meant to front this band.

    The last time I saw INXS play was with Jon Stevens up front at the Mercury Lounge here in Melbourne - and I know that you will be there the next time I see INXS play.

    Be strong!! :)
