This week was my best performance yet. I really felt the song "If You Could Only See" by Tonic. I was much more focused and settled. I think it has to do with working with such great people from cast members, to the house band, to vocal coach Ron Anderson. I'm feeling a new artist in me.

I'm starting to feel more grounded here at the mansion as well. I can feel my creative writing side kicking in. It's funny how I work. Because I'm not a musical genius -- far from it -- I use my mood swings to generate melodies and music. I write straight from feel.

It felt great playing the guitar live on stage again. It's been part of me for so long. It was important for me to show another side of me as an artist even though it was only for a moment. I'm looking forward to showing yet another side of me the next show, if I'm lucky enough to get the chance. Rock On!

 I can feel myself as an artist growing each week. My heart and soul will always stay grounded. That's one thing I'm very confident about. I know where I come from! And I will not forget!

Glory, glory hallelujah…the songs for next week are selected and no one gauged out any eye balls. In fact it was pretty painless. I chose a rockin’ song which fit my style to a "T." Lynard Skynard has been an unbelievable inspiration to me so singing "Sweet Home Alabama" will be an honor. The singer of Skynard never wore shoes on stage; he said he wanted to feel the raw vibrations of the music. How fitting I will be singing his song, I haven't worn shoes on stage yet through this competition, and in honor of him I will again sing barefoot.

Had a great 30th birthday party for Daphna last night, so great I'm still feeling the effects, a bit disoriented if you catch my drift. We all dressed up, drank beer and wine and just enjoyed one another's company. Neal, Tara, and I wrote and sang her a song to top off the festivities. Ty & Marty participated as well adding extra vocal and rhythm harmonies….I have to say it turned out well. It's amazing how quickly a song comes together when you're around such incredible inspiring musicians.

Neal has been inspiring me as of late. His style and musical direction is so simple but so direct. The guy is rarely seen without a guitar in his hand. It's fun working with him our styles compliment each other well. He's like the funky lead rocker guy & he's the slow steady rhythm lord from hell

I think I'm bustin out the electric guitar this week also. I hope this decision doesn't backfire on me though. This competition isn't about being the lead guitarist for INXS it's to be the lead singer I'm well aware of that. I just hope INXS and the world is open to us sharing our other musical colors. It's a risk I'm willing to take.

Not to be chosen in the bottom three Wednesday was a relief. But at the same time I felt the hearts of Will, Tara and Suzie…it was time to lay it on the line…all chips in. I thought everyone stepped up to the plate and cranked, but in the end INXS made the right decision. Will is a great singer songwriter but not a definition of Rock & Roll at least in terms of turning up the heat and giving it some attitude.

You know what…Bottom Line! I'm the luckiest human being that ever dreamt of playing Rock music. Going from singing to a 100 people to hundreds of thousands of people is simply mind blowing. For the first time in my life I can honestly say, I'm where I belong!!!Dreams if not swept under the rug can become reality. I'm livin proof…God Bless Rock!
