Preemptive Sour Grapes

Since Chicagoan Jessica had to battle her way out of the bottom three last night on Rock Star: INXS we reckon most of Chicago is ready to let her go as a viable contestant. We fear, though, that only raises the hopes in our fair town that Lovehammer Marty will take the crown, don the leather trousers and convince millions of ladies the world over that he “needs you tonight.”

We may have ribbed the Lovehammers in the past but we certainly do wish Marty the best of luck. However it appears as if the cards may be stacked against him. According to Industry message board The Velvet Rope (and by Industry we mean evil record label conglomerate types and journos with way too much time on their hands) there’s a ringer in the midst of the contestants and his name is…MIG!

I have been holding back for a while, but I can't take it anymore!!

I was one of the final 50 selected to go to LA for the final round for the INXS:Rockstar show. I wrote a journal about my experience and described all 50 contestants I saw when I was there. From day one we were told 14 people make it to the show...14...14...14...14!!! I have contracts to prove this. Anyway, all of sudden the show airs and there are 15 contestants...go figure! I recognize all of them, except one...MIG! He WAS NOT at the audtions [sic]. I promise you!! (full post)

So there you have it. Uncontested proof from a borderline hysterical snubbed contestant. Sorry Marty, but look on the bright side; The Lovehammers are virtually guaranteed mucho local love for at least the following five to six weeks following Mig’s ascension to the Rockstar throne.
