Terence Trent

INXS Rockstar

Rockstar is a "reality" show by the producer of Survivor that is
attempting to help INXS find its next lead singer.

How real is it? Who knows?

But what I do know is that a few months ago, I got a call from
one of the producers of Mark Burnett Productions, the company
behind the show. He was looking for singers to attend a
"closed-door" audition made up of singers who had been
recommended by industry people.

I sent him the very best singer I've ever seen...a cross between
Corey Glover of Living Colour, Terence Trent D'arby, and Rob
Halford of Judas Priest.

Nothing...

And it wasn't just me... I know several very good people who
tried out at either open or closed-door auditions and didn't get
any interest.

In all fairness, I have not seen the show and don't know the
quality of the people who were selected. And there are tons of
really talented people, please don't think I'm one of those
people who doesn't understand how a certain person who
auditioned didn't make the cut...maybe they had an off day,
maybe they didn't fit the image... No telling...

But I'm just not convinced that this show is doing a good job of
finding a rock singer. American Idol is one thing...those guys
are pop. Just because you can sing doesn't make you a "rockstar"
though...and judging from the preview of the show, singing is
all this one seems to concentrate on. Plus, this is INXS-- a
group of guys who have been around for almost 30 years, played
clubs, had hits, had tragedy, and been through a lot more than
the average wannabe singer.

Rock and roll is about more than singing well and being on
television
