This performance is legit. I always thought he was best suited to punk rock, and should have made a band that let him rock harder than the dad rock of the band he was trying out for.
I did not see the first night, but I was able to watch this and the rest of the shows. I told the gf at the time that I don't know what INXS is thinking, but at this moment I knew he was the one that should win. Awesome re-arrangement to a classic song!
No one could ever replace Michael Hutchence, but I think JD has his own style and he was taking the audience/fans into a new chapter of INXS. I didn't see any shortage of excitement with the fans . I just wish they would have given him more time to prove himself. He was going to make mistakes. He's younger than they are and his own brand of human being. Part of me thinks it was just so painful to play without Michael for them. I don't blame them, but just maybe things may have improved with more time. It really appeared that JD was remorseful for all mistakes he had made. Too bad.
Marty Casey was my favorite, but JD was their best choice. I'll always remember Marty singing 'Wish you were here' with the orchestra and gospel singers - it was amaziing. But this was also great, and the old dudes in INXS need to bring him back and make it work. Thy need a young lead man - take a look at what Queen is doing with Adam Lambert.
The song was good and he sang okay but I never warmed up to jd. He seemed cocky full if himself and genuinely an a hole to everyone. I think his voice was good but I really wanted Marty or mig to win.
Noone can replace Michael❤ as we know, but JD gives it a good go.
RIP MH miss you forever💋💋💋
Still listening in 2023. He is one of the sexiest men I know and a hell of a performer to boot!!
I love this performance! It was great then and even today, watching it again!! Pure magic!
Just decided to look JD up again. So good.
jd fortune deserved much more then being a singer in INXS

He did a super job with his own mix of this song!
Great performance.
Fantastic

New Glasgow!!!!!
Keep those KISSES coming MY way...YOU took control of the MA..nd..YOU did better than anyone else..right! RIGHT!
JD ! .
hey just performed at the olympics last night haha, first time in lke 3 years
I read that this guy was picked ahead of the show. I think that Jodis Unga was much much much much much much, did I say much? better...!

What a voice! What happened to him!!!
I shook his hand.
@stringendo ... hes a guitarist.
I need a cigarette now (and I have quit)! Haha
Why does Dave Navaro have drumsticks...
@karissah78 But I thought he was a bass player?

this version, for me at least, does surpass the original.
i dont like it that much. the original is just so good with the harmonies and different melodies...this is good but it just isnt the same.
I never liked him.
