Rockstar: Supernova

I still wonder if the drama is made up. Magni didn't even show so much as a scratch on his head after it was bleeding so badly?

The top of the head bleeds more than most of the body. It's entierly possible that Magni's stream of blood was the result of cut that was smaller than three millimeters.

It's really pathetic how much I enjoyed last night's show. Still on the Dilana train, but agree that she's too good for this band. Still hating Lukas. Agree that Ryan is a wrong fit with this band and, like Dilana and Magni, probably too talented for them. I don't know what Toby has done before this, but he seems like a perfect front man - great looking, great performer, maybe not the world's best singer but I thought "Rebel Yell" was pretty smoking. Poor Storm is now out of her depth and there's no way she can keep up with Dilana, but I still think she's purty.

Is Brooke Burke very tall? Dilana looks downright miniature standing next to her.

I think BB is average height and then with her heels, she's like 5'9". Either way, Dilana is a short stack.

Yeah, Dilana has to be tiny tiny. I think she puts on a good show and she would fit the band on stage imo, but she's definitely not my favourite performer. I still can't see the band picking Lukas, but maybe I'm missing something. Like, his appeal. ;D

Toby has a band in Australia called Juke Kartel. Not sure how big they are there, but some of his old stuff is very good, imo better than the stuff Supernova has shown so far. Some audio samples of Juke Kartel.

This is really my main issue at this point: I don't give a crap about Supernova. The singers impress me more than that band does at this point, and I don't want to see my favourite performers (Toby and Magni) stuck with that band. Since the band doesn't want Ryan or Storm, I think they will end up with Lukas or Dilana. Which would make my interest in them even less than before.

This show is starting to mirror the INXS version, where there was a dominant female talent (Jordis) who somehow imploded when it got closer to actually winning. Is Dilana heading down the same road?

I still think her voice and style are the best fit for the band but I don't want her or Magni to win. They're better than SuperNoNo. I secretly hope they hire Lukas the creepy troll, so they can all go away and suck together.

Yeah, I thought that too. I loved Jordis, and think Dilana is amazing. Way to good for these dorks.

It is so much like last year. Even something Dave said last night reminded me of an almost exact quote from last season. What the hell was it? I swore I would remember it, so I could post it, but now ... gone.

According to people who were there, they cut out Jason going on a rant about how unfair the portrayal of Dilana was in the clips they showed. And apparently Magni said something about how Dilana (and Storm?) helped him through his own major meltdown crying jag a couple of weeks ago.

I've been waiting for Dilana to sing 'Mother Mother' for weeks now, and I thought it was great. She's still basically a nutter, though.

I like the first 2/3 of Lucas' version of Lithium, but thought the ending suuuuuuuuuuuuuucked.

I think Storm intimidates the hell out of the Supernova guys. Everyone else it seems like they could push around, but not her, she'll fight back if she doesn't like something. Maybe Magni, too - he's so laid back, I could see him just ignoring them and doing whatever he wants no matter what they say.

Are we sure Magni isn't actually the lead singer of Live looking for a new job?

Just to prove what a "WHATEVER" this band is - I was about to ask "Jason who?" (it finally kicked in - and he looks just like my brother in law - minus the fingerless gloves, of course).

How can there be a winner when it's a weekly voting show with 6 contestants left? Is the band really stupid enough to leak the fact that they already chose him? They may be stupid, and they may want him, but I can't believe they'd let anyone know that.

Last night, Dave repeated to Lukas something he said to Dilana when she re-arranged Ring of Fire...something about "you took a classic song and you did that to it? (dramatic pause) Because that was amaaaaaazing!" Verbatim, and so lame.

[deadduck]

Yeah, that was one repetition that really bugged me too Oxy.
But now I kind of recall what bugged me the most. It was Dave telling Dilana "That was the best performance of this entire show, both seasons! It was AWESOME!"

1. He said that to someone last year about this time in the competition. Pissed me off then, and now. (Marty? I think so...so kiss Dilana to the bottom 3)
2. AWESOME--Dave needs a new word!

[margojata]

Ha, don't they all need a dictionary? Awesome, dude, man, killer... Tommy keeps trying to work "laid" in there - but no one else bites (so to speak).

I am so glad Ryan was kicked off. I was tired of looking at his pained expression every week. I guess that is just his face, but I was tired of looking at it. The last thing I want to do is go to a rock show where the lead singer has a pained, soul-less expression on his face.

The heavy metal site, Blabbermouth.net has comments from Dave Navarro saying that the rumour by Janet Charlton about Lukas winning is not true. Lukas used to bug me in the beginning but now I think he is perfect for the band. He brings a rock/punk/alternative vibe to the band, which I think is great since they don't want to be seen as a heavy metal band. Lukas just seems to be current looking and current sounding. There is something exciting about him. While Magni is a great singer, seeing him live isn't exactly that exciting. And, I have never liked Toby. He is just average. I love Dilana. She is, like Lukas, an original.

My vote is for Lukas and Dilana: both exciting performers, great rock attitudes, great fashion sense and style, great personalities and mystique, and they bring something current and cutting edge to the group: all things I think are just as important as vocals.
