It's pretty cool. He does sound a lot like Michael Hutchence. I lovvved INXS back in the day & Michael Hutchence is, of course, irreplaceable but J.D. at least doesn't alter their sound much and probably covers the old songs pretty well.
I heard Pretty Vegas on the radio the other day. I thought it was the old INXS because it sounded so much like them. I just kept thinking, "Why can't I remember this song???" Ah...because it's NEW!
By the way, I HATED J.D. on the reality show they did to get him. Couldn't stand his attitude. I guess THAT'S what makes a Rock Star?!?
