    Thank You!
    Thank you!! 
    Thank You!
    Thank you all for making "Pretty Vegas" your favorite original song.  I can't express to you all how much your votes meant.  For me it’s more than just a vote, it's a voice - you made my voice your voice! We showed the world that when people act together they can do great things.  Now let’s make our voices heard again in support of our brothers and sisters who have suffered though a tragedy of horrific proportions.  We must focus our thoughts and prayers.  We must send our love to those in need.   We also had the honor of performing with INXS.  The song "Us” is a strong message. "Us" is a social dissection that exposes an important ingredient we must have in order to achieve peace and harmony - heart.  What INXS has created is a message that must be carried across the world with the hope that there will be balance.  I am honored and humbled to know them.  I've been listening to music since before I could speak.  There haven’t been a lot of songs in top radio spots that speak about the need for global understanding.  If we could just hear more music about what we have to look forward to as opposed to music about the "fear of something" then maybe we will stop just "listening" to music and start "hearing" it again. "We are the people we've been waiting for."

    JD!!!!!!! Seriously I feel 16 again, and I AM 32! I can't remember the last time I so enjoyed watching someone perform....I don't go to concerts anymore because the singers just fricken STAND THERE! Who the heck wants to be hot, sweaty, in a crowd for 2 hours watching someone STAND THERE! You rock...you move, you involve the audience...and I will see you anytime....with INXS I hope, but if not....wherever you go! Thanks for making music fun....and thanks for not trying to "fix" INXS as their music is fricken perfect the way it is and I hope they will make more of it!

    hey J.d,
    i think it is wonderfull how you keep showing INXS how much family means to you. at first im like..is he a redneck, then i figured out that you wanna show INXS how much you love your family so if you win (its you all the way) they will know how much you will feel like family being with them and that you wanna actaully be apart of their family.
    its nice, i love my family.
    love you
    love from sarah williams

    You don't understand J.D.... if you released "Pretty Vegas" right now, under an independent lable or anything, I would go out and buy 10 copies just so that my family could sing along with me because I would be playing it every chance I get. I really really hope you win and I will be doing my best to help that happen, but if you became a solo artist after this, you would have the quickest sold out concert in history!!! You're awesome!!

    J.D., I'm glad you like the song "US" by INXS. But in all reality, it needs some help. You seem to have impressive song writing skills. I think you could help INXS with that specific song. Maybe we didn't get a good idea of the finished product, since there were so many people attempting to sing it. I LOVE the song Pretty Vegas! Andrew and you made a great team on that one! I never get tired of watching you perform! You are one sexy guy, and I love the way you move! There aren't too many singers that get me that excited, but you sure do! I hope we see more and more of you, wether it be with INXS or some other kick @ss band! Love from the midwest of USA. :) AnonymousFan

    OMG- Pretty Vegas not only gets stuck in my head ALL the time...but I have now started to traumatize the people I work with with it. It has got to be one of the BEST songs I have ever heard...and after hearing it tonight again...I think my mom is even convinced...JD you are INCREDIBLE...there are so many things that I am seeing now about you that in the beginning I didn't see...(and yes I must admit now that in the early days I must have been blind!) You have the ability to move people...to work the crowd...you have the ability to appear confident although at some point I'm sure you've been nervous...and you have a depth that not many people posess. IF INXS does not choose you next week it is only because you are meant to do much bigger and better things...you are truly a star...in all forms of the word...and now I will end my babble. GOOD LUCK! YOU ROCK! hugs! c*

    Pretty Vegas was an awesome song. I look forward to it being on your an album sometime. If being part of INXS is really what you want, I wish you well and hope that you can win. If it was exposure that you really wanted, so that you could get your own career going, than I absolutely wish you well.

    Either way, please know that Canada (and Waterloo, Ont especially) is rooting for you either way. Good luck and I know either way you will be a big huge star.

    Rock on JD!

    My God....what is happening to me? I am far too emotionally invested in this show, and there's no logical explanation - I am addicted to, in awe with, 100% behind JD Fortune. I have been since week 1.

    Tonight as I watched the elimination show, my chest was tight....I was so scared. I feel like I want JD to realize this dream almost as much as he does. Silly, I know. But it's true. When his name was called for the bottom three, I started to cry. I prayed that he would pull through, and then he was given "By My Side". It was beautiful. I was a little worried when the other two were given upbeat songs....they both rocked. Then, when Tim called JD's name, I was thinking...NO! NO WAY!!! Then he was safe, and I was giddy.

    A lot of you are probably thinking I'm some starstruck teeny-bopper, but I'm not. I'm a 31 years old...so why do I feel this way? At least I know I'm not the only one. I know a lot of you out there feel the exact same way.

    I'm sure the usual bashing and hating is soon to follow my post....but whatever. I know that no matter how many people post on here to insult JD and his fans, the love and support of those of us who believe will always prevail and shine through.

    JD - You never fail to bring a smile to my face, and joy to my heart. I love listening to you sing, I love hearing your words, I love watching you perform. You are amazing. Never doubt yourself. You had my votes.....you will always have my love and support. I will never get enough of your music.

    Much love, support, and best wishes from a loyal and forever fan in Vancouver....I'm crossing my fingers (and my toes). Give it all you've got for the finale. I believe in you, as do millions of others.

    I WILL FOLLOW YOU!!!!!
    I WILL FOLLOW YOU!!!!!!!!

    Good luck!
