    OMG, JD! He was soooo effin' awesome when he came to the Philippines and performed! Lol, but i didn't go see him...as far as i know, i've only seen him on TV, and nothing more than that xD He really deserved to win Rock Star last year! Oh man, but i don't like him as much as i like other hot rockers out there!

    JD is awsome! hide show

    now the first thing i have to say is to the person who wrote a review with the tittle "spiled brat" i am verry interested to know where you thought that title would be appropriate because thats deffinetly something he is not. i say inxs play a few months ago and he was great!!!!! he was verry energetic and thats important in a preformer. he sang the new songs great and the oldies he put his own spin on and they sounded great. i really want to go see them again because he made the concert so much more enjoyable. im really glad that he won rockstar because i dont think the band would of had as much succes with there new singer if they had picked someone else.

    jd fortune is great!! he wasnt always my favourite on the show to start off with but by the 2nd episode he definately was... he's inspired me to go ahead with my dreams ven if they are different to his own, and to respect all that are in your life. hide show

    To me people, not only do i want to marry him because i think he is absolutley gorgeous, but he has proved himself to be the most talented contestant on the show by winning it!! i have been a huge fan of INXS since i was born because i was vainly brought up on rock... So there is absolutley no point in saying that hes a spoilt brat or that he is under talented, because he proved you all wrong!! He definately deserves this place in INXS as the lead singer (and he fits in it perfectly!) and I think that he is representing rock to its best!JD FORTUNE... you are a rock god! I look forward to seeing more of you in the near future>>>

    I absolutely LOVE J.D Fortune!!! He is soo talented! The first time I heard him sing, I absolutely fell in love with him. What makes J.D so awesome is the fact that he is such an original. He takes the risks and says the things that everyone else is scared to say and do. Also, he has the most amazing stage presence...he gets the crowd into any song he sings, even if it is a sappy little love song. He fits in so well with INXS...when I heard them perform together for the first time, it was like watching a band reunite. He is such a natural at what he does...he truly is the ROCK STAR!!! Love ya, J.D!!!

    I have been a INXS fan since 1985..choosing JD was the best choice they could have made, JD is passionate, talented and a sexy performer. I am really looking forward to the tour. JD is a doll. I wish them the best!! hide show

    I have been a INXS fan since 1985 I grew up with the band, I found out about Rock Star INXS and watched the show from beginning to end. JD was my favorite from the beginning. He had compassion, attitude, motivation and he wanted it more than anyone. Not to mention he is a sexy, talented performer. I am so happy to hear that they will be touring and you can guarantee I will be there to support INXS. JD you are a doll and I wish you the best! "God Bless"
