This week is the most emotional elimination show "Rock Star:INXS" has seen yet. Saying goodbye is getting so hard that Dave has officially designated elimination day "Black Wednesday." And tonight, Deanna's departure is particularly painful.

Starting out, everyone is a bit subdued. They all agree that last night was probably the best show so far (although, given the problems "Dream On" gave her, Jordis is less keen than the others), and no one is sure who will end up in the bottom three.

"The competition is getting down to the wire," Suzie says. Jordis worries that if she's in the bottom three, INXS might decide she's not right for them. Ty, who still feels the sting of being up for elimination a few weeks ago, hopes that the voting reflects the performances. Some people, he says pointedly, should end up in the bottom three, just to find out what it's like.

The Rockers are also wondering who gets to do this week's encore. Ty, J.D., Suzie and Deanna think it should be their turn. Ty says he put on a show last night and should be rewarded for it. Deanna believes an original song should be honored in place of a cover. But this week the honor goes to Suzie, the self-proclaimed "Queen of the Bottom Three," for her performance of "Start Me Up." She doesn't cry, but she does reprise her stage dive.

Usually Brooke announces the bottom three right after the encore, but this week, some issues need to be aired. For one thing, the Rockers are bridling at INXS's comments. Deanna wonders what they mean when they talk about her "comfort zone." She's a power rock singer, and she can't change her core. But for all her bravado, some doubt creeps in. If she can't "give INXS what they need," she says, "maybe I shouldn't be in the band." Marty has no such reservations. INXS has asked him to tone down the screaming, but he's not going to change the way he sings. "I'll meet them halfway," he says, because if he goes all the way, "then what's left of me."

Tim assures the Rockers that the harsh criticism was just a test, one that Marty passes with flying colors. "We have such respect for you," he tells Marty. Kirk adds that INXS tries to push the Rockers in different directions so they can see their boundaries.

J.D. has pushed the boundaries with both his performances and his behavior. At this point in the competition, he says, it's about who gels best with INXS. But for all his controversial behavior, Dave says J.D.'s voice is "totally suited" to the INXS back catalog. The reason for that, J.D. tells Dave, is that hearing INXS was one of the reasons he became a singer-songwriter.

For Suzie, the question is whether, even after giving an encore-worthy performance, she's ready to end up in the bottom three yet again. She's sanguine about the possibility; after all, she's been there four times before. Besides, she says, "tonight's the night to kick INXS tunes."

Jordis has been quiet during all this, and Dave asks her if she regrets taking a risk last night with "Dream On." She says she didn't see it as a risk, at least until she got to the rehearsal room. She stuck with it, determined to hit that note, because if she saw someone else singing the song, she'd want them to go for the note. That said, she feels she deserves to be in the bottom three. Dave says that if she's there, it's because she has guts.

It's now time to find out who ended up in this week's bottom three. Again, the early returns were posted at the end of last night's show -- Ty, Deanna and Jordis were in the bottom three early on. As the evening continued, J.D., Marty and MiG also spent time in the lower depths. The one Rocker who stayed clear of the red zone was Suzie -- she's safe. Brooke reveals the final tally leaving Ty, Deanna and, for the first time, Marty singing for INXS to remain on the show.

Ty's up first, and Dave can't believe it. Kirk says INXS loved his version of "Proud Mary," but the audience thought differently. Kirk asks him to sing "What You Need." Ty's performance of the INXS song is a showstopper, with a powerfully soulful vocal that would do Prince, Maxwell or John Legend proud. Kirk calls it great, and in a new twist for the elimination show, asks Ty how he feels about singing INXS songs. They make him want to sing and dance, Ty says, adding that after this, "maybe next time more people will think I'm supposed to be the singer for INXS."

When Deanna takes center stage for her song, Dave tells her to "forget about the comfort zone." Andrew, who says that when she sings, "the sun comes out," asks her to perform "Elegantly Wasted." Her version is elegant, with a dusky tone that adds some mystery to the tune. Andrew pronounces her vocal "surefire." Deanna enjoys singing INXS songs, she tells him, because they make her do two things she loves: rock hard and dance.

Dave calls Marty's ending up in the bottom three a crime. Jon asks him to sing "Don't Change." Marty doesn't change his style for the INXS song, but he doesn't scream either; his clipped phrasing gives the tune a Brit-pop accent, crossing INXS with the Kaiser Chiefs and Razorlight.

It's an impressive enough performance to get him sent back to the Rockers' box, safe for this week. As Ty and Deanna embrace, Tim delivers the bad news: Deanna is not right for INXS.

This time, Suzie isn't the only Rocker to cry at the announcement: Ty, MiG, Jordis and Deanna start to tear up as well. Deanna is so emotional that she can barely talk but gets out a -- 'thanks' for INXS, the other Rockers and the audience. She tells the band she's learned a lot during her time on the show. She'll certainly be missed on the show, but it's sure you'll be hearing something from her soon.

How will the other Rockers react to Deanna's elimination? Who will be singing for INXS next? Tune in next week to VH1 on Sunday at 8PM and to CBS on Tuesday at 10PM and Wednesday at 9PM to find out.
