I'd be interested in whatever the first season Rockers are doing... cd releases.... tour dates. No Marty info necessary. Oh, and we know what ___ is doing too. ;D

Jordis just got dropped by the record label as well and is opening for Bo Bice of AI, that's really sad!

Lots of info about Suzie here jam.canoe.ca/Music/Lowdown/2006/09/20/1868056.html

highlights
- her first single "Believe" is up on iTunes now (it's also the promo theme for NBC's "Biggest Loser")
- album is complete and it looks like it's getting close to release
- decided not to go to Europe with Pink so that she can tour solo this winter


Feel bad for Jordis... not sure what's worse- not getting a deal or losing it before anything released

Rockstar: INXS Finalist Suzie McNeil To Release Album

Canada's Suzie McNeil, the last woman standing on 2005's "Rockstar: INXS," has a full album in the can, produced by Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Faith Hill, Pink, Mick Jagger), and A&R’d by music guru John Kalodner (Foreigner, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins,AC/DC).

The song, "Believe," currently the promotional theme for the NBC weight-loss reality show, "The Biggest Loser," is now available on iTunes, but the first official single from her album will be a more youthful, Kelly Clarkson-styled song called "Hung Up."

McNeil appears singing duets on Clay Aiken's new album, "A Thousand Different Ways," on the cover of Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is", as well as “God’s Top Ten” on INXS’ 2005 release, “Switch.” This summer McNeil was asked to join Pink's band as a back-up singer for her North American tour.

Frederiksen has writing credit on almost all the songs, a few of which are with hitmaker Kara DioGuardi (Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Pussycat Dolls, Bo Bice, Santana); as well as McNeil, who has co-writes on about half.

*Poor kitten* I really feel bad for everyone that got involved in this rs:inxs show!
