Regarding the INXS star vs. the Michael Star: We would have loved to get a star for Michael on his own, but if you read the necessary requirements for the Walk of Fame, it specifically mentions many years of entertainment among other requirements. The bulk of Michael's work has been with INXS. That's why we decided to go the INXS route rather than Michael as a solo performer. We felt that it would be easier to persuade INXS management to put up the funds and paperwork necessary to get the WOF star for the group as a whole. We do not have any accounts here in which to accept any money. We will not be submitting the paperwork to the WOF committee. I believe the other site is saying they will submit the paperwork and funds necessary. Our persuasion is in the form of a petition which we are trying to get submitted to INXS management. INXS management will be putting up the necessary funds, not us. According to the WOF website, the artist's management/record companies/representatives/etc typically submit the necessary paperwork and the $15,000 fee. There are links on this thread for both the petition and the Walk of Fame website if you would like more information. Please take the time to read through the information carefully.

Hi all... I set up a petition on www.petitionspot.com/petitions/inxswofLet's all spread the word and get signatures to present to INXS' record or management company and have them sponsor their nomination for a star! I need to clear something up. This petition has NOTHING to do with what other boards are doing. We are simply gathering signatures and presenting them to INXS' record/management company to get them to sponsor the nomination for a star. The star would be for INXS as a whole, which of course, includes Michael. I think I made this clear on the petition description. We're off to a great start! As of today, we have 30 signatures...not bad for one evening! ~Mysty~ Oh I was all over this when you first posted it.....wish i could sign it again and again and again!!!!! How long do we have to wait-- GOSH? ??!!!!!!!!!!!

We started off strong, but we started slipping around March.
If anyone's got any good ideas on how to re-generate interest in this project, I'm all ears! Ummmmm EYES! LOL

Well one thing that I had thought about doing earlier this year was to ask fans to sign the petition at the shows. It would be very easy to have something at the merchandise stand..or if that wasn't a possibility then have volunteers pass out info....you could even do something as small as a business card with the INXS logo on one side and the site info. on the other. Not to sound weird but I attended the annual KISS convention a couple of years ago..(they have one for the entire east coast)..there were people there handing out slips of paper with info. for joining the KISS ARMY which seems to still be working for the band..even after all these years. If this is a goal for the band then there needs to be a set course of action..once you build the momentum..you have to keep it going..and don't stop until you are successful.

Well, I've kinda have been let down about any excitement about this lately. I understand the INXS star, vs. the Michael star. I worked very hard on the star for Michael at another site, even selling treasures for the cause. The woman there had done all the paperwork , and she said Michael fit the qualifications. So, I would really love to see that one happen, but it hasn't so far. I'm a bit iffy about the inxs star, especially when I see JD fans promoting it.(on another board) I'm sorry if I offend any fans of the new inxs, but I want Michael thought of when people see the name INXS, rather than Rockstar and JD. Thats just my thoughts! But I'm sure I'll be happy if they get a star!

They BARELY hit the charts w/ this singer and album!!!!! TRUE fans are from the 79-97 era! I havent donated cuz I dont know for sure what they will do w/ the money IF a star is not granted--- yeah, I am cheap like that but I am not donating money to an organizer, I would be donating it for a PURPOSE! Isnt it like $25,000 for a star? ?? If we could get at least 13,000 ppl to just donate $2 to an actual fund set up at a bank so ppl nationally and internationally could donate--- we would have it set is stone!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if JD qualifies to take part in them receiving a star..I think a band has to be together for 10 years..all original members. So INXS would qualify for the years they were with Michael..fans probably aren't thinking about who or which members get in..because it's about getting INXS in as a band. I'm not sure if JD would be able to take part in any sort of ceremony for this but since the other band members love him and he is now part of the band..I'm sure they would want him there and even if JD weren't a part of this..as much as JD seems to love INXS..I'm certain that he'd be happy for them to get the recognition that they've earned. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is much more of an honor for a band..and for a band it shouldn't be about all of this stuff..awards and such. It's supposed to be about the music and the integrity of the band.

I seem to remember it being said at some point in regards to the Michael star that if he didn't get accepted the first year, that the application is automatically resubmitted for the following year. But I'm not sure what happens after that, if the application needs to be redone or what. I don't really know that a Michael star is still being actively pursued at all?

I just had a look at michaelhutchenceinfo.com, and apparently the quest for the star for Michael is still active. The site was updated May 2007. So far $4,369.36 has been raised.
