Most of you who check out Amazon have probably already seen this but I didn't see any comments on it so I thought I'd bring it to the table:
When I looked MiG on Amazon I got the link to pre-order the cd. When I clicked on the picture there for more info this is what came up:

About the Artist
MIG was one of the three finalists out of fifteen hopefuls who competed on the first season of the hit CBS-TV series ROCKSTAR: INXS. An audience favorite, he wowed viewers with his powerful vocals, commanding stage presence and overall raw talent. MIG is now poised for the big time with his major label debut; the self-titled CD MIG is set for in 2007. Born in the Philippines and raised in Australia, MIG settled in London for several years making a name for himself in musical theater. The young singer played the lead in Queen's WE WILL ROCK YOU, and also starred in the smash hit musical RENT. Having done the band circuit earlier in his native Australia, he later pursued dreams of a solo career while in London, where he recorded a 4-song EP dubbed "The MiGnition Project." MIG endeavored to sell the record on his own website, and even enlisted the help of Queen guitarist Brian May on one of the tracks. It was at precisely this time that the opportunity for Rockstar presented itself. MIG ventured from London to Los Angeles for a successful audition, going on to compete on national television for the chance to become the new lead singer for Aussie band INXS. As the show progressed, he became a quick star with his emotional honesty, and consistent charismatic performances week after week.
MIG also mastered the piano at a young age, mostly playing Billy Joel tunes. At the same time he was listening to an array of musical styles, such as Stevie Wonder, James Ingram, Earth Wind and Fire, James Brown, Lenny Kravitz, Queen and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. These various influences are evident when spending time with his debut album. Produced by Matthew Wilder (No Doubt, Christina Aguilera), and Rob Mathes, with string arrangements by the renowned Paul Buckmaster (Elton John, Train), the record was recorded near his home in Los Angeles, with additional sessions done in London and New York.
Product Description
A collection of classic and contemporary rock and roll staples, the record showcases fresh interpretations of MIG's favorite songs including The Police's "Wrapped Around Your Finger," The Rolling Stones' "Angie," Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends," David Bowie's "Life On Mars," and "Baby I Love Your Way," featuring a guest performance by Peter Frampton himself.
