SIDE-STORY: Rockstar INXS

I think I’m the only one on the planet who’d just discovered that the series had ended when I saw the band’s latest video on TV last week. How cavemen-era am I? I used to watch it every week but after the 5th episode (I think) I got a ‘higher calling’ (aka my ‘deadline people!’ boss) and had COMPLETELY forgot about it. No wonder Lizzie (my office best friend) was giving me this odd ‘are-you-serious?’ look when I ask who got voted out the show last 2 weeks. Anyway, I was kinda surprise to see JD Fortune as the band’s new frontman cause I thought Mig Ayesa had it in his grasp. He had that whole Rolling Stone vibe going on. Even Julia commented on him being a dead-ringer to Mick Jagger as we’re watching him doing his thing in between those 1-5th episodes. But I’m not all disappointed that Fortune eventually won it though. He looks damn hot (and all sweaty, just to prove that point) in the INXS new video (Dirty Vegas is it?). I can just imagine the director going ‘yeah, work it JD, work it! And while you’re at it, take off that damn shirt so the girls can go ga-ga over you’. That’s a long way to go from being a homeless guy isn’t it? And I was so sure that no matter how good the girls were (when I actually watch the show) none of them would ever be picked as the lead singer for the band. Can you imagine 4 (or 5 cause I hardly notice the guys, sorry!) old dudes and a young girl together in a band? Expect no Season 2 with this series, unless they decided to change their drummer or guitarist or something…
