INXS - fancy your chances?

WANTED - A ROCK STAR: The legendary INXS have embarked on a worldwide search for the ultimate undiscovered male or female rock icon. Their chosen vocalist will front the band on a forthcoming world tour. You've got two chances of being called back to the second round of judging. Either strut your stuff at the open audition being held at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on Tuesday Feb 8. Alternatively impress the guys at Kerrang 105.2 with your demo tapes - but you'll need to be quick. For more info please email kerrang@kerrangradio.co.uk or go to kerrangradio.co.uk OR www.inxsrockstar.com.

Hmmmmm.... I'm in two minds about whether this is cool or not. On one hand they're looking for undiscovered talent and giving them a hell of a break that they otherwise wouldn't get. And I'm sure there is a shedload of truly talented people all over Britain. On the other hand, it's quite sad that such a great band is resorting to "pop idol" tactics in order to carry on, rather than bowing out gracefully and not tainting the band's name...

I think I'm verging towards the latter...

But still, how cool for that person who makes it!
