Quoted: what is this? American Idol with rock?

INXS is looking for a new singer for the band. The band has been pretty much 'defunct' since the death of Michael Hutchence in Nov 1997.
The show started about 3-4 weeks ago with 16 singers from around the world (Canada and US really + 1 guy from down under). Each week, there is a song list. The performers choose from the songs that are provided. It is a good mix of stuff. There has been Queen, 10,000 Maniacs, REM, Nivarna, David Bowie, Ozzy, The Mama and the Poppas, Alyanis Morisette, etc.
It is a pretty good show. Really cool to see how some bomb and some shine.
The winner will be the new singer and will go straight into the studio to record the next INXS album. Then, its off for a world tour.
ETA: OR, you could look at it like ChainSaw does.
