CD Reviews
The past and future come together
Fruit Loop | Down South | 11/17/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"INXS broke new ground by utilizing a reality show to find and audition a new lead singer, both a bold and dangerous move. As fans of Rock Star: INXS know, their gain was JD Fortune (and what a serendipitous name!).
Fortune proves a worthy successor to Michael Hutchence with this original song "Pretty Vegas" and gives promise to a new and brilliant future for INXS. JD's voice blends beautifully with his bandmates rather than overshadowing them, always aware that INXS is six, not one. Can't wait for the first album!"
JD's smooth transition...
Andy M. Cotto | seattle, wa | 11/20/2005

"The original idea of a reality TV show creating a new frontman for a rock band seemed uninspired, and even a little silly. But after the first few shows, JD Fortune separated himself from the other "contestants" by displaying a great ear for music, and a voice with range and power. His writing and subsequent performance of the quintessential "Pretty Vegas" put him over the top and has made Mr. Fortune a household name...and will end up making him a fortune."
INXS' Future Worth a Fortune

"Having watched the Birth of Pretty Vegas on the Rock Star INXS show, this CD single is particularly important. The studio version of the song is different from the version JD Fortune premiered on RS: INXS, but the differences only serve to enhance the song. The live version is worth the price of the CD. JD croons the tune in such a beautiful voice. INXS is back because they found a Fortune. JD, you most certainly are right for OB INXS. You are, indeed, the rock star."
Pretty Vegas Is Hip

"As a collector of their music common & rare, this is a pretty good comeback track with a new lead singer. judemac recommends it. (Search Judemac forever on MSN)"
INXS's Best Single By Far
Splash Marshall | Malahat, BC Canada | 03/16/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I can't believe any fan of music can negativly review a song this good. It has all the elements of what a great song needs to be a great song. The hook is huge, catchy as hell and memorable. INXS has had some great songs in the past but this is by far their best single ever. "Disappear" is the closet single to Pretty Vegas's instantly addictive groove. Believe the hype INXS is back and their future is gonna be one helluva good one."
