inxs in excess

my friend m and her friend e picked me up today to go to the cbs studios and watch a taping of the reality show inxs: rockstar. i'm not a big fan of the band. in fact, i don't even know a song that they made famous. but i know who they are.

it was the same venue where we watched american idol two years ago. we also fell in line for more than an hour before we were allowed inside the studio which was transformed to look like mayan. the set was beautiful. it was a standing room only crowd so by the time the taping finished, our feet were aching like crazy.

since the show will be aired on tuesday, we were asked to sign release forms and confidentality agreements. i don't want the legal eagles of cbs to be running after me so i will refrain from talking/blogging about it.

not to give it all away: the performances that blew me away -- mig ayesa (yay! he's really, really good. even without my personal biases) and ty and marty.

other notables: jordis, jd, brandon. so-so -- i forgot their names. i think deanna, jessica and another one. suzie. sorry girls. bottom three?

after the taping, we went to the grove and had a hearty dinner. then ice cream at bennett's. then kape sa coffee bean. as usual. while having dinner, i saw olivier, the french guy on the law firm. he was also at the french crepe place where we were having dinner. wala lang.

wow, will look out for you! love this show, though i've only seen the first two and last week's shows since i had been away. dunno why i don't like migs, he looks too...femme. for now i'd go for jd, i think.

hahaha. my exact same sentiments. jd had a haircut. he looks really fine with his buzzcut.

also, i think there's sort of a 'spin-off' show [ala real world] on vh1 where cameras follow them even if they are in their house [i heard they're camped in a mansion in silverlake]. i have to catch that one too.

what's your favorite inxs song?

yeah, they probably deserve a show that's more personality and less music. the whole song-selection process makes for good viewing. favorite inxs? had to browse my ipod to decide on the third, but the top two are definitely suicide blonde and disappear. third's probably not enough time. such a sexy song.
