This guy obviously likes INXS as I'm fairly sure he's already sung a couple of their songs on the show, as for playing alongside INXS I guess it was also partially to do with the show and their publicity garbage so the show doesn't flop in the ratings- I think the entire show is a piece of shit, reality TV should be drowned out.
I can't believe people really wake up one day going "Gee, I feel like being utterly humiliated today, lets audition for some cruddy TV show and fingers crossed, I'll become famous" What on earth is real about that? The fame is certainly manufactured.. Makes me wonder what else is.
As for Altiyan, I've watched a few short segments of the show, he's a rather strange character, I remember a lot of times in the beginning they were giving him grief for forgetting the words to songs he sang. Lets just hope he can remember the words to the song he sings with INXS so he does it some form of justice. The guy comes across as very staged and slow, I'm sure he's not really like this, it's probably once again all the show's doing...
The entire concept is pretty ridiculous and over used. We've seen it before this pairing of big-named musicians and reality TV contestants it's getting boring. I guess we'll just have to see what goes..
