Andrew was particularly fond of having a girl. |
He's the guy with the accent. |
I'm not really sure what that was all about and in some ways I think it's better to let things go, right? In the video, Bono even looked like Michael. I don't know what that was all about. |
It was a bit like what's the best way to find a new lead singer, someone who doesn't already have a band? And for us to check them out (over a period of time). We had the luxury on a television show of watching people over 13 weeks, to see them grow or not grow. |
J.D, you sing with passion, you're an amazing performer and you're great to watch. |
J.D. ... you are right for our band, INXS ... you are the rock star. |
J.D. has a slightly dangerous edge and will bring a sense of spontaneity to our live show. In addition, he has both the star quality we were looking for and is an inspired lyricist. I think he'll grow with us on all levels. |
Once the music starts, he's fine. |
We basically dropped our pants in front of the world. |
We were very concerned with that. There was a lot of criticism. But once (the skeptics) saw the show, it dried up pretty quickly. All we did was try to do the best we could to find a new singer. |
You have to learn to pace yourself, in everything. Sure, there's a pub in every town. But you don't have to go to all of them, right? If you want to do this, you have to learn to keep steady. |
