Rock Star: INXS is a Mark Burnett reality series that chronicles the convoluted audition process of a replacement singer for the band INXS. The would-be rock stars have big shoes to fill; the late Michael Hutchence had presence and talent. I absolutely hate American Idol and all the vocal wankery exhibited there, and this is a nice contrast. Rock Star does suffer from minor oversaturation, occupying two hours of weekly prime time television spread across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I caught the latter half of tonight's episode, and I have to rant about one of the performances.

Tara Sloan. There was nothing to enjoy about this girl and her song at all. She looked like she selected her wardrobe in the dark and from a rack of clothes two sizes too small. She sings without soul, joy or stop-plosives. For the love of God, woman, learn how to enunciate. That, or never get in front of a microphone again. Seriously. Shit.

Ok, I'm done.
