  • this song's great, michael would be pleased with this i'm sure, think INXS fans should be pleased they carried on, JD really saved the band and gave them a voice again.

  • here will never be another Michael Hutchence.

    who was murdered in cold blood by the Illuminati.

  • whenever i listen to this song i'm feeling that Michael will appear on stage

  • I think there were honest intentions here, but this is just really awkward. I can't help but feel that the original members knew better. The song is a perfectly servicable ballad, but this J.D. guy just didn't have any stage presence. They just should not have gone here.

  • well it's been over 5 years since JD started playing with INXS. Please people, stop bashing the man. He has paid his dues and deserves some respect. He didn't take Michael away from us. INXS was and is STILL an amazing talented group of musicians.

  • change name the band, his voice is like a no alcohol beer, or not?

  • Ok, here's a thought some might find loaded with prejudice: It's alright for you to be gay, I don't care, but when you bring your gayness into your performance with that horrible forced voice, horrible face and backstreet boy beard, you ruin the band.

    Guys, doesn't ANYONE else see it? this is RIDICULOUS, this looks like a mock video. GOD!

  • @MaggogZ um, he's not gay. Was dating Estella Warren before coke took over his life.

  • @MaggogZ they're just happy they can now play again as their band. They're just enjoying life. stop hating.

  • @comemysock no man, this is outrageous to me, i can't let it go. Looks at that microphone stance at 1:34 and tell me that's not the most stupid thing you've ever seen.

  • some bands work when singer changes, van halen worked, ultravox worked, iron maiden worked, not sure inxs works yet, havent heard enugh of jd stuff

  • beautiful song.. wish they wouldnt compare Fortune with Hutchence, two diff people

  • j.d = cristiano ronaldo ; or not ?

  • all the human we have one dark side and white side and michael hutchence

    was not the exception

  • He was....

  • luv jd fortune..i watched the show & i knew from the start that he will be the one..

    he fits the part perfectly well..michael must be sooo proud

  • He soo cute, but Michael was unique!

  • Hi soo cute, but Michael was unique!

  • interesting to see this performance - INXSs

  • OH GOD SORRY I,M STILL IN SHOCK I NEVER KNEW THIS A NEW FRONT MAN FOR INXS THATS SAD

  • INXS has to live again !! Thanks guys :))

    I miss Michael ... but it's amazing to see them play again ! They are so happy !

    And it's sure Michael is happy too of it ;-)

  • INXS and JD FORTUNE...."You rocked my world, you know you did it"

  • MMAIO Afterglow (youtube that !!!!!!!!)

  • Sure he's not Michael...nobody can fill his shoes...He was constantly overshadowed. I think JD got a bad hand of cards .but god damn, this guy can sing. I think this song shone through all the grief that went through the band..including JD himself.

  • @tkoolhov Im one of the biggest Michael fans I know.....however, I will be the first to admit that JD is a talented singer. No, he isn't Michael and he never willl be, but he does a good job.....no matter how hard it is for me to say.

  • Uma canção realmente linda... linda, linda!

  • Personally, I admire any band that has former Coast-to-Coast talk show host Art Bell as it's rhythm guitar player.

  • J.D. may be messed up, but Christ, as talented as he was, so was Michael. Give the guy a break. He's a great singer/songwriter and does as well as anyone could at fillings Hutch's shoes.

  • He is good.

  • no not for me

  • he might have a great voice and all, and i give him full symphony and respect with what he is doing, but he will never replace Michael Hutchence, its to hard to follow in the footsteps of him.

  • la verdad que michel debe estar feliz ,,,, verlo a este tipo bailar es verlo a michelll... inxs,,,, por siempre en la tierra y en cielo

  • PURA CLASSE....

  • coke head

  • amazing song,

    amazing voice

    this song simply caught my heart

  • The perfect man with the perfect voice singing one of the most beautiful song ever written

  • sdo408,thought of it hey?one on one?lets go

  • mediate is our fate ban the bomb

  • i love ya JD

  • they should of did Pretty Vegas.

  • Jd is a great singer...and now is free...working with his CD...awesome songs too.....he is a better man now!

  • fantastic song!

  • tim is a cool cat, always looking sweet

  • This new singer is lame...INXS should just retire... or call the band a different name.

  • do me a big favour, go kick your nutsack if you have one, what are you anyway cockboy, come back to me when you have a better username cocklover

  • lol jd was kicked out like a year ago =p

  • I miss Michael :/

    but he is good though

  • great song...great band.......so touchig lyrics.....

  • yeah good but what wasted heads and souls for some activity they dont know how much they had.....

  • JD had so much talent. It's a shame he looks like a crazy heroin addict now.

  • The best song of the last decades!!!

    Absolutely awsome!!

  • Absolutely gorgeous...:)

  • i like them this way, the lead singer is a hunk

  • Utter shite without Hutch

  • Gracias inxs

  • boski wokalista........:*

  • Es lindo Jon Stevens pero como dicen cada persona es única y asi fue Michael Hutchance

  • INXS RETURNS

  • no one beats Mick but jon Stevens done a good when i seen them live in sydney a few years back, he was better than this guy but INXS wouldnt write new music with him, wasted chance top become a better band like AC?DC did when Sir Bon died.

  • jon stevens era el indicado pero bueno el

    show debe continuar aunque nadie puede reemplazar a michael hutchence rip

  • apesar de que jon stevens era el indicado el show debe continuar

    nadie puede reemplazar a michael hutchence cada humano es unico

  • looks like eric bana

  • u rite~

  • Here I am...

  • J D Fortune is not only a great singer, he's very easy to look at. Hot! He's not Michael & he does not sound like Bowie. He has his own unique style, his own voice. I would love to have an Afterglow with him. Anytime.

  • Agreed.

  • Jd sings this well, but its not the same as it was with Michael singing it..It is a great way to honor his memory :D

  • no tribute album inxs, new abum pls!!!!!

  • J.D. the best second lead singer from INXS.

    Go Go INXS with J.D.

  • MICHAEL IS iNXS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BUUUUU,you j.d

  • this guys accent is retarded. studio version band

  • is a great song .. and the voice is good .

    is not michael ... is fortune ... other men , other voice

  • It's very difficult to see INXS with another but he is not bad at all, yes he does sound like Bowie, but everyone has influences, the first time that I saw INXS with the new singer I was very upset, but then I realized that these guys waited a long time and they respected Michael's memory, so they have they right to carry on, INXS was also their band, and I am sure that if Michael is somewhere watching from above he must be happy to see them playing, Cheers to all inxs fans!

  • @joe2804 JD Fortune totally rocked. Too bad he self-destructed.

  • afterglow gives respect to michael because hes living in his afterglow so say what u want to say but this is jd's song

  • Good Song but I am sorry I just can't get into them anymore since Michael's death....I would think they should have called themselves another name....not INXS.

  • Touch me and I will turn Canadian. I will find my way cause I am Canadian.

  • I agree, nothing can beat michael but it's good to have inxs back....afterglow is a great song and the new guys good.

  • they forgot to include that Estella Warren,,wasted man,,,:)))

  • No actually I'm not doing nothing and how would you even know if I'm fat. You're on youtube wasting your time as well so you could be the fat one. I'm just a true fan of the real INXS going all the way back to the late 70s. The new singer doesn't even rival other replacement singers Van Halen: Roth/Hagar AC/DC: Scott/Johnson

  • Hey whoa there...yeah of course Michael Hutchence is missed, but the band wanted to carry on. This guys good, he doesn't think he's anyone else but himself. Quit putting down artists while you sit on your fat ass and do nothing.

  • He does sound annoyingly like Bowie

  • WTF......Michael Hutchence RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Inxs and Tokio Hotel in my heart.

  • yessss!!!!!!!!!! Inxs and tokio hotel the best....with Indochine too...

  • easier to find as INXS Concert SSM. Dark video, but very good audio :) :)

  • I felt he sounded good, but you're both right maybe a little different. Likely more because of the illness though. A crew member said Jason had a high fever and could barely speak. The doctor gave him an injection in his neck to reduce the swelling, but he didn't want meds for the pain. We saw them not long after and JD's voice was full-on, better than the cd even. They really are a great band live. Hope you'll give them another listen :) (afterglow sault ste marie)

  • definitely something wrong... i think JD is just trying to sound "powerful"... he landed on a wrong note somewhere in between doing that and then just didnt recover ! would have been better if he had not strayed away looking for something he wont find in his voice... :)

  • i don't know if anyone agrees with me but it seems to me like there is something slightly off with his voice from the recording... can't put my finger on it, almost like its a different person singing from the recorded song, i know its not, but it just sounds like it to me

  • very nice:)

  • his live performance is really good!!resembles to the studio voice very much!!i like it

  • very nice. A lot of music tallent left in them.

  • Didn't Andrew write this song for Michael? It makes perfect sense too: they're in Hutch's afterglow, caught in his shadow.

    Michael Hutchence was so beautiful!

  • Thank you cb, I did read up on the topic as you suggested. I also reread the details of Michaels passing. The New South Wales coroner stated in his offical report that suicide was the cause of death. However, there is circumstantial evidence that is was possibly autoerotic asphyxiation. Therefore, my original posting contained documented fact, not a urban legend.

  • Nastybruin, micheal hutchens didnt take his life. its called autoerotic asphyxiation. read up on it

  • I did read up on it. Please see my responce cb.

  • very good action but no longer touches with the force that touched before without a doubt: without michael no longer is the same inxs no matter how hard they want to imitate them

  • Give INXS a break. What are they suppose to do, retire from the music industry because Hutch took his life? They're great artists who have alot of music left in them. All the power to them.

  • agreed.hutch WAS in excess.

  • NO Hutch - No INXS.

  • That performance was so powerful. But look at his face it locks like JD has alot on his mind while singing that song.

  • really?? i see nothing.. :D

  • You mean like, "HOLY SHIT! I'M FRONTING INXS AND THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!!!!! PLEASE GODM DON'T LET ME F*** UP!" That's what would be on my mind right then.

  • looks like he might be thinking of someone...

    great performance! when did this air?

  • Aieeee singers cuteeeeeee XD

  • INXS is back on the scene and that's all I care about, Time was when I couldn't wait for a new relese from the boys and it's happened. It also sounds damn good! No, he's not Hutch, no one is, my aunt is not my uncle either. . .just get with it and enjoy I say, INXS fan for 25 years and counting. . .

  • micheal was more than inxs,..he put his soul into his music. I think the conflicts he had with the love for tiger lilly added to his passion.... you could feel his whole being in his music. jd is very good but, some are just taken with micheal that jd won't get a fair deal.

  • I like the new INXS and JD is a good match after Hutch. What I don't like though is when JD goes into that weird "Bowie-esque pseudo British worble" thing. Just sing the song man.

  • yeah dang gie jd a chance hes just fine.. not so good live. its ok not bad. ive heard worse. but hes so good on the recording. give him a chance and stop bashing him. hes really good actually.

  • JD competed to become the lead singer and was the favourite of the actual musicians there. So where do you jerk-offs get off saying he has no talent. If you all have such great star spotting powers then how come you are watching on you-tube and producing,managing...etc. Long live Canadian talent.

  • Nowhere close to Hutch!! Great melody though....

  • jd has a nice voice.. live eh..but not many ppl are good live..but this guys has a sexy ass voice on the recording lol

  • its all right, i prefer the cd but this is all right

  • good song.. not bad live either!

  • I don't know what you guys are listening to, but what I'm listening to is a man with a great voice and singing great songs. Sure he won't be like Michael, but hes keeping INXS alive. JD Fortune is an amazing guy and is an even more amazing singer. :)

  • Absolutely agree...he really knows to sing in the right way; and his voice is great too. You recognize it right from the beginning...he´s got style. And of course he isn´t Michael...but he definitely does more than a good job, and he indeed keeps INXS alive; let´s hope they don´t break up soon.

  • I agree. JD is great. He cant help it that he is not Michael and people dont want to give him a chance, which he deserves because he has a wonderful voice. Of course no-one can replace Michael and JD isn't trying to.People should give credit when its due. They are still one of the worlds best bands

  • I love this performance!

  • :/

    Michael es irremplazable..

  • "Michael was INXS"?????

    Are you serious??? Don't be ridiculous. Michael was a part of INXS. Andrew actually has always done most of the writing. So by your logic Andrew (and the rest of the guys) can not perform music that he (they) created because one member of six is dead. They weren't "Michael's songs." They were collaboratively written in a group (of which Hutchence wasn't the primary writer).

    I hate to break it to you but you're not an INXS fan but a Hutchence groupie.

  • VERY SERIOUS ! I've said this many times though out my comments back to people such as your self. At best JD Fortune is nothing but a Lounge Singer !!! He has no range to speak of or depth to his voice!!! Blah, Blah, Blah.... Let's not kid are self's here the band is good, but without Michael's VOICE this band would not even be known let lone famous !

  • The band that exsists today are a shadow of thier past glory, JD Fortune is yet another in a line of wanna be's, you cant create legends in a t.v show ! And then pass them off as the real thing! INXS had a time limit and it expired... its over!

  • JD is a good singer , Michael is a legend .

  • I loved my Michael. JD is pretty good but, not as good in concert. Seen inxs everytime they were in Wisconsin, was not impressed with jd. Michael was a much more entertaining. Not to mention Hot!!! Sorry JD fans, but thats it in a nutshell for me.

  • I've seen INXS many times and I have to agree with everything mamakopac has said.

  • checkDout the second version of afterglow featuring an Indian singer Sona?...pretty cool stuff . Interesting fusion & great beats & spirit

  • saBroso

  • Não tem como ouvir INXS atual e não comparar com a época de Michel Hutchence. Michel marcou demais a banda e sua voz era impressionante. Mas o novo vocalista merece todos os méritos por estar segurando essa barra. Ele tem uma ótima voz, presença de palco e tudo mais. Mas Michel sempre será eternamente melhor.

  • very good JD. I like your voice. Don't try to copy Michael be yourself

  • and for the love of God, dont you realize the difference between 2 and 20? Michael was their singer for 20 years,they released 10 albums.its almost two years for JD and he just put his voice on the album.nobody knows what he can bring to inxs in future.

  • dont trust everything you see on TV.if you judge people by a reality show,you are an idiot.JD is a super nice guy,compeletly different from what they portrayed him on the show. gotta know him in person and then judge him.

  • Hi!

    Do you know JD in person? I would love to meet him.

  • i have on CD a better version, i like it very much!

  • Dear God is this man a sex pot or what ??

  • omgZz JD is sexy as hell

  • Michael is irreplaceable. HOWEVER, the band was just as good and they deserve to be able to go forward after all of this time. I don't know if they'll ever be able to recapture what once was. I do like this song though.

  • Im also a fan of inxs,see them live in london on the recent tour,absolute quality song,quality vocalist too,JD is his own person,hes not trying to be Michael,think this song was written about Michael

  • this isn't inxs

  • you can always bet that inxs will always have good music, no matter who sings for them

    i mean, these guys have written some heavy shit in their heyday. they seem to still have the same 'magic' in their songwriting.

  • Seen them Live on their tour ..the band was Tight JD kick ass....great Musicians..........Period

  • I think he's good, but his range varies with each performance, michael was the same all the time, he always delivered the same with each song, he never sounded bad.

  • you should check out the Indian version of Afterglow...i think its bloody cool..its sung with this Indian singer -SOna Mohapatra..and she is actually quite good...just checked out a couple of her videos and they are actually supercool....a lot of versitality..you guys should check this video called Aaja ve of hers..set up in a small village -she looks gorgeous(heard she is intelligent as well!)..

  • michael was an out of this world performer, but he has passed, and just like anything else, his position has got filled... filling michaels boots isnt an easy task, and he isnt doing that, he is being his own performer.. so think of michael in his glory days, and let JD have the present...

  • i think the actual melody is beautiful... but u could just imagine Michael with his liquid drawl slurring all over it! lol. now that would be fucking brilliant. instead we have this puppet performer delivering it like the post. it breaks my bloody heart.

  • yawn... inxs were all about pushing musical boundaries. its apparent now that Michael was the main experimental force behind the band. this is just dull.

  • The song is beautiful. JD Fortune just sux

  • i ,m afan of inxs the old and new.......i think this guy is ok.........

  • I love this band. INXS rocks.

  • Lead singer sucks

  • it's all subjective. i live in the present not the past. the old IS dead.

  • I'm not comparing him to Michael H. He sucks because he sucks

  • like i said it's all subjective

  • that guy looks wrong

  • that guy is SICK!!!!!! not SICK as in BAD but SICK as in GOOD. this is INXS!!!! enjoy the ride guys.

  • you mean the NEW INXS! COS THIs'S NO LONGER THE original inxs!

  • new or old, i think thats irrelevant. don't you?

  • that's why, IT ISN'T !

  • great song ...great lyrics..great beat .... great everything..only it cudve been videod a lil better....

  • Such a beatiful song, have the album.

  • the song has 1 of the best lyric!!!

  • jd sounds soooo goooood love it love it!!!!!

  • great song i thought - didnt know inxs sang it though. theyve done well considering.

  • Sounds a bit too happy clappy... like what 'Live' turned into - and as I listen, boring U2. Damn to hell those whose purse strings pinch tighter than their creative conscience.

  • inxs we're awesome when i saw them in concert... there's no point in comparing jd to michael. michael's dead and jd has something new. get over it and accept the new stuff

  • Hated him on the show, but he is actually very good with the band. Bastard but talented

  • not bad but he hasn't hutchs stage presence, but then who has ?

  • saw every live inxs concert since i was 16 with michael and he is a legeng. saw jd in melbourne in '06 and i had shivers on his tracks and cried thru the originals. it's so cool to see inxs with modern arranging and playing after all this time. the band had 5 members and nice to have them playing again. from a long standing fan.

  • jd is so hot. i saw him play up in sacramento last summer.. oh baby.

  • crazy

  • maravihlosomoremore

  • inxssogoo

  • inxseheheh

  • INXS pwns
