Something New to Watch

Rock Star: INXS on CBS.

The Good:

Type of music
America votes
Judges who can claim to have real musical talent, ie not Paula Abdul
Sure to be lots of drama
No 18 year old singers from Oklahoma/Alabama, wherever
The mansion
It's the summer and not much else is on
No sign of Seacrest, or previously mentioned Abdul
Quick elimination (or for the one episode anyway)
No "What's up daawwwg"

The Bad:

On three days a week
Some of the musicians
Dave Navarro (Red Hot Chili Peppers) provides his opinion when he is supposed to be a liaison

Early Prediction:

A guy will win and be the new lead singer of INXS.
