I really thought he would w in this competition. This show was one of the best reality-singing show ever created ever! The contestants were ultimately talented. That was the real talent.
He traded songs with someone else and willingly did this song is what I think is so awesome about this dude! He could have let the other guy suffer through it but he turned it into his own song! I think he's too cool and who can forget Trees!!!
@pooh2b This song was selected by INXS for him to do. Each singer was given an envelope with a song inside.The singers didn't determine the songs the week he did this one.
aka Rockhunter123 states that Marty Casey, lead singer of the Lovehammers, is the best ever. He took this song to a new level; he is such an amazing, hot singer and rock star!
This guy is an AMAZING singer!!! im glad he didnt win tho... he is far to good for inxs... froom the first time i heard him.. week 1! he has been my favorite artist ever since and most likely always will be, he sings so clean u can hear every word he sings.. pure talent!
I remember when INXS assigned this song to him, when everyone else had a choice. He looked a bit put off, but I could tell that it was a respectful challenge from the band.
To be honest, despite my leanings toward Rock, I actually liked the song when Britney released it. I was just a little uncomfortable with it, given the context of a teenage girl and 'hit me'.
JD is from my Dad's home town, but Marty was my favourite in this competition. But JD was a very good fit for the band.
they want to see what you can do with the material you're given, let's say that you get "higher ground" by stevie wonder, you can either make your own version off it or sing the one by stevie or RHCP :)
@bryan500cc on the series, they were always given rock songs to perform. and as the series progressed, they decided to bring a little twist and add one non-rock song from all the choices given to them. it just so happens on one ep that marty was late when the songs arrived and the others had of course chose the rock ones. when he came, he totally flipped out to see the song left was this silly song. so it was actually a "no choice" moment and was forced to do it. surprisingly, he did good.
@AnGeLiKuS actually, as i remember it, this was the week that inxs picked the song for the individual performers. marty was confused/kinda mad when he found out he got this song..but then he kicked ass at it.
This was brilliant. He turned it into something dark and cool. I was flipping through the channels one night and saw this cover. Remember he was assigned this song.
i must confess....marty casey rocks like few lead singers can do, and i cant believe the so call music industry hasnt picked him up and make him a huge star, because he richly deserves it
didn't he do this song again later in the competition? he was barefoot and had black painted toenails...or was that a different show/song? can anyone that knows please let me know? and please message me at my other profile here on youtube 'flashoftruth' thank you very much.
About the suit... according to the MSN Rock Star site:
Rock Star:INXS - Week 6 Fashion
Marty wears a Cosa Nostra black velvet pinstripe suit with leather cuffs and lapel, his own vintage paisley tie and Converse shoes to keep his look edgy and street. His pinstripes fall in various directions, which creates a fashion forward movement.
I remember the irony of this in that he chose to wear something by Cosa Nostra and was doing a song that had the idea of "hitting" someone.
i miss this show, too bad no one has posted the whole thing with the judges comments n all

This was the best performance of the entire season and it's funny INXS is ready to get rid of JD. So I guess in the end Marty was the real winner.

I saw this on TV but it still amazes me that he totally destroyed a Britney Spears song, in a good way, in the way that it needed to be destroyed.
After he did it everytime I heard Bitchonherknees Spears sing it all I heard was Marty's improved version.
He did it better and with more realistic feeling.
