September, 2005

Elimination day! The final elimination day! I will not miss Wednesdays here. I am glad this was the last one. I am also so relieved and honored that I am in the final three! This has been bigger than I dared hope to dream. Today was the first time I had to sing for survival. I thought for a fact that I was going home today. From Marty & J.D.'s encore, it was obvious they were staying. So I knew it was going to be between Suzie & me, and I know how much INXS loves Suzie - they've rescued her five times from elimination. I started to say goodbye to my fellow Rock Stars. It was no surprise to be in the bottom three - disappointed as I was - but it was a surprise that on preliminary voting I was coming last. Ouch! That Hurt. Especially since I thought I might even get an encore. I felt a certain calm and resilience that was quite foreign to me as I took my place on stage, awaiting what INXS were to bestow upon me. Despite the immense pressure of:

a) being in the bottom three for the first time
b) singing an INXS song to INXS for the first time
c) following two outstanding performances by Suzie and J.D.
d) being last at the end of preliminary voting
e) realizing I was also possibly losing a brand new 2006 Honda Civic if I bombed out
f) being so close to the final!

I was able to pull off one of my best performances to date. I totally lost myself in the moment and that desperation unleashed a side of me that maybe I had forgotten, or that INXS had never seen. It was only after I had finished “What You Need” and heard the crowd that I thought, "maybe I won't be going home today." I am sorry I had to fight it out with Suzie because she has become such a close and dear friend whom I love very much. I know Suzie will be fine as she has won the hearts of the world. She had better be partying now! I can't believe I have made it to the final. This is beyond a dream.

	Nancy wrote: Dearest MiG ... I absolutely love you and your audacious talent! The only thing that tops that is your soul and kindness and "human beingness" that JD is missing. He has to advertise it on his arms because he doesn't emanate it like you do. I am SO excited about seeing you perform Bo Rap!!! I was disappointed when you gave it to Suzie altho I know it was a wise choice. Lake Tahoe California is rooting for you and I am hoping Mark Burnett comes out with a dvd on this series. I will be "jonesing" for my Tues and Wed nite Rockstar fix with MiG. Whatever happens DO NOT become one of "reality show survivees" that fade into the sunset. If you are not with INXS ... you need to be THEIR competition with your own band. BEST OF LUCK my sweet ... BREAK A LEG ... the angels will be all around you tomorrow night. Love and thanks, Nancy Sept. 19

Good luck in EVERYTHING you and your wife choose to do in the future...When you win this contest - you can bet I will be PURCHASE every single CD you and INXS will make from this point on... Thank you so much for letting us get to know such a cool person...I love it that someone can be so famous and talented and yet NOT an ASS or have to have tatoos all over their body...I do not have anything against tatoos - just an observation.

	Michelle wrote: Mig - you have been my pick from day one. I'm so glad that you have made it this far. INXS will be making a wise choice to pick you. You have proven that you are not only an incredible singer, but an incredible, caring person. We've all seen JD behind the scenes. That personality doesn't get better with fame! You are the ONLY one for this band! Best of luck to you on Tuesday night - we'll be watching and supporting YOU all the way! Sept. 19
	honey_5ive2 wrote: Louis, i couldn't agree with you more girl hehe you're 100% right ;) Also people MiG does not give it 2 Marty LMAO! there is no way that MiG will give up his dream for another as much as an angel person he is, Trust him on this he know what he's doing. i saw him do Bo Raph and trust me he will rock is like hell! he will shine on every corner ;) bless him! Dont you think that mayBe MiG wanted to sing Bo Raph. 'cause he loves the song and not 'cause he giving up his dream or 'cause he want to show the world how he finally moved on from WWRY show?! Again MiG - Rock On mate and mostly enjoy every minute on stage i know you will do the song justice kisses and hugs Cheerz, -Always Yours- ~Honey~ Sept. 19
	AMD fan wrote: Being popular is great but does anyone know what INXS wants? Does anyone have a sensible analysis of what the band truly wants???? A dude, handsome, charismatic, great singer, great writer, a party guy, a rocker, well-spoken, great musician, great performer, etc..... anyone??????? Sept. 19
	Ivy Metal wrote: Hi, MiG! I'm your biggest fan here in Canada and am mighty proud of you. I honestly can't wait to hear your BR version. I love Freddie Mercury and Queen's music and frankly, I don't care about your musical roots. For me, you're just an absolutely talented, versatile and great musician. I hope and pray that INXS and the whole world will agree with me that you're a perfect fit for Australia's hottest rock band. Whatever you do, be true to yourself. Always follow your instinct. We just love you as you are. Have a great time out there tomorrow! Your Mississauga girl. :) Sept. 19

I do not know whether you will be chosen as the lead singer for INXS, but I do know that you will be successful in anything you do after this show. The show has given you some wonderful exposure to further your career, and you got a new car!! It's all good. Best wishes to you!! :-) LYNDA Sept. 19
	Loves MiG wrote: Yes, I too believe it will be between MiG and J.D. Once again, remember how J.D. has fallen on his face during TWO clinics - the recording studio time, where he was unprepared - didn't practice because he was either asleep or passed out and the second was another song writing clinic - again, UNPREPARED but results enough perhaps to get him by - J.D. is UNRELIABLE. I DO NOT believe that MiG is "sacrificing" himself for Marty - that is just plain stupid. MiG may be a nice guy, but not stupid enough to hand this to a rival on a silver platter. MiG has a reason for picking BoRhap and I am going to have faith in him on this. I believe we will be blown away as will INXS. Also, I as a LOYAL fan of MiG will NEVER go to either Marty's or J.D.'s site and post ANYthing...I will keep all of my positive energy over here for MiG (and increase his comment numbers)! Go MiG! Love ya'! Sept. 19
	DesperateCincyjoe wrote: TN fan, I would hope if INXS compares MiG's rendition to anyone's, it will be Freddie Mercury's....not Suzie's. Suzie did an okay job on it; but if she were compared to Queen, okay would be stretching it....the band helped her out quite a bit. But she did an okay job of it. Sept. 19
	Louis wrote: Mig I can not wait to hear you sing Bohemian Rhapsody. Iti s probably the most intense song with the most incredible range(which Suzie did not have, and sorry to say did an OK job of it, not great) This is what MIG does in his sleep, theatrical or not I am sure you will see the performance of a life time. Mig has played to thousands of people who give him a standing ovation everynight that he performs. Do you think that Marty or JD know what that feels likeoutside of this contest. I just hope everyone is ready for the performance, because you will probably see the faces of INXS react like never before when Mig is finnished, mark my words. So blow them all away Mig and the best of luck. Louis Sept. 19
	MiG_rules wrote: OK fellow MiG fans it is time to get real. I know that we all want MiG to win, but I think that we are underestimating JD. What I mean is that I really think that it is between MiG and JD and not between MiG and Marty. Judging from the MiG backers who post on JD's blog, I am guessing that I am not the only one who thinks this way. BTW, if you visit Marty's blog it is vert low key and boring...I feel that this is a sign that enthusiasm for him is fading. Sept. 19
	TN fan wrote: MiG, please listen to Jane and others and myself. Do BoRap is a BIG mistake. 1. They will think you lied to them about putting it behind you. 2. It is hard to compare a girl's voice and yours. 3. It will make INXS guilty and miss Suzie even more. I was afraid you would do something to make yourself lose. Deep down you want Marty to win and are sacrificing yourself for him. Mistake but maybe you are too nice for them. Good luck but if you really wanted to win you would have picked another song and you know it. Still want you to win but now the odds are not in your favor. TN fan Sept. 19
	tuceau wrote: Dear Samantha, As a guy, I hardly think anyone would find your sarcastic juvenile self attractive at all. The fact that you find it necessary to put Mig down only suggests that YOU have issues with what is obviously a pathetic life of your own. If you had anything to brag about, you surely wouldn't take the time to have written your little comment. Now leave us successful and talented people alone and go off to someplace where mediocrity is acceptable. You are certainly not welcome here. Buh Bye! Sept. 19
