So if you know me very well, you know that I love American Idol. But the summer months that go by with out any American I. seem to last forever. So 2 years ago when a show called Rock Star came out in July, I was so excited. The first season was called Rock Star INXS and it featured the band INXS, who I LOVED in high school, looking for a new lead singer. I LOVED this show. It was like American Idol on steroids. It was like watching a concert in my living room every week. Well the next summer it was called Rock Star Supernova and it featured a brand new band with Tommy Lee looking for a lead singer. So this year when summer began its approach I anxiously waited for my show to come back. And I waited.....and waited.....and searched the Internet......and waited......and.......NOTHING. I am so sad and I am missing it. So I was watching some of my favorite performances from past episodes and it made me feel so much better. So I felt that I must share the joy.
This performance is from the first season and is by J D Fortune, who later won the coveted seat as lead singer for INXS. You might recognize this song "Pretty Vegas" because it was released by INXS shortly after J D won. What you might not know is that this song was born on this show. The contestants were given music composed by a member of the band and they had to write their own lyrics. This is the song J D wrote.
Enjoy! Oh, and look for more of my favorite performances to come.

FINE! I guess you just had to be there.
I watched the show both years and loved it.
Thank you Coren. Finally someone with some taste.
Ok, so I put another version of the song up. This is a better performance, I just didn't use it 'cause the video quality is poor.
