Last night's episode of "Rock Star: INXS" began with a recap of the silly and (ultimately irrelevant) fireworks generated during a songwriting workshop that aired on Sunday night's VH1 broadcast. I refuse to dignify those event by recounting them here. Yawn. This week's performances were all acoustic, and the band ditched the usual song selection process. Instead, the members of INXS personally chose the song to be performed by each competitor. The night opened in underwhelming fashion with a sappy rendition of Bob Dylan's "Knocking on Heaven's Door" by Jordis Unga. I know I raved about her a couple of weeks ago, but I'm waaaaaay over her now. Each week it's the same exact thing: she takes some classic piece of rock music, slows it down, and sings oh-so-earnestly straight into the camera lens with big puppy dog eyes. This woman could turn an Iron Maiden song into an over-dramatized afterschool special. (Naturally, Dave Navarro and the band loved it.) Jessica Robinson gave her best performance of the competition so far with Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn," but considering her past efforts, the bar wasn't really set that high. She added nothing original to the song, opting to simply mimic Imbruglia's recorded version, which made it all the more obvious how inferior Jessica's voice is by comparison. If history has taught us anything, it's that Jessica will be in the bottom three. I'm no fan of Ty Taylor, so I really wanted to find something negative to say about his soulful interpretation of Rod Stewart's "Maggie May." But I just couldn't. It was a complete re-imagining of the song's arrangement but remained entirely true to the original. In short, it was everything a cover version should be. And, for once, Ty's every hand gesture and facial expression didn't come off as completely scripted. For me, this pairing was destiny. My favorite performer of the competition, Suzie McNeil, singing one of my all-time favorite songs, Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home to Me" (I'm actually partial to The Animals’ 1965 cover version), and it was a gorgeous combination. Everyone else in the competition works so hard to look cool, but Suzie consistently makes it look effortless. Marty Casey was given what at first sounded like an impossible task: perform the Britney Spears tune "Hit Me Baby (One More Time)" on international television and not look like an idiot in the process. In practice, however, the job was an extremely easy one. After all, no matter what he did with the song, it was bound to be a vast improvement over the Spears' original. And it was. Mission accomplished. Perhaps sensing that her time in the spotlight is rapidly coming to a close, Deanna Johnston put her breasts on display last night to draw attention away from her voice. The ploy seemed to work on the members of INXS, since they unanimously praised her off-key rendition of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me." However, I doubt voters were similarly fooled. Expect her to land in the bottom three, and given Jessica's uncanny knack for resilience on Wednesday nights, Deanna just might be saying goodbye tonight. Melody has never been J.D. Fortune's strong suit. Perhaps sensing this weakness, the band tested him with The Rolling Stones’ ballad "As Tears Go By." His voice wasn't up to the challenge, and the performance fell flat. Despite being the only viable contestant in the competition's early stages, J.D.'s talents haven't proven to be as diverse as originally thought. Unless he pulls it together soon, he's probably only got 2 or 3 weeks left before he finds himself eliminated. The night ended with MiG Ayesa answering INXS's call to mix things up a bit. Assigned the Peter Frampton tune "Baby, I Love Your Way," he accompanied himself on the piano to great, if somewhat syrupy, effect. It wasn't the night's best performance, but MiG will still probably earn the week's encore because he was the only one of the night's performers who tried something new and succeeded. Predictions... For the second week in a row, host Brooke Burke gave viewers an early look at the voting results. As the show aired on the west coast, the bottom three consisted of Jessica, Deanna, and (inexplicably) Ty. Since Ty has no business being ranked so low (at least not this week), I suspect he'll pick up votes as polling moves across the Pacific Ocean overnight. Look for J.D. to take his place at the top of the bottom of the heap. And after two straight weeks of incorrectly predicting elimination for Jessica Robinson, I'm switching things up a bit by choosing Deanna "Hey Look At My Boobs" Johnston to get the ax. Which means Jessica will probably be eliminated. Encore: Bottom Three: Eliminated:   Bonus Prediction... No matter who gets eliminated, Suzie will cry.   The "Rock Star" Graveyard...
