Rockstar: Supernova

[WitchyPoo]

I like Lukas's swagger mixed with herky jerky moves. I think he is just starting to actually sing rather trying to growl with marbles in his mouth. The group needs a showman.

Please, no more nice songs. "Drive" - Boring. "Runaway Train" - huh? Save the sensitive songs for American Idol. More rock and more edge is needed. And, as much as I like Nirvana, I do not need to hear "Come As You Are" again. That is a very tough song to sing. Tough because one can't sound like they are not doing a bad Kurt Cobain impersonation. Unless the arrangement of the song is changed, it always sounds like crap.

Lukas can't win this thing, he's so butt ugly and obnoxious that he makes me want to reach into the tv screen and punch him in the face. I'm guesing that's not the reaction they want, because it won't sell music.

I feel exactly the same way. The fake preening, the ridiculous make up and my GOD! That oversized poseur troll head! Sorry, dude. I'll say it before, I'll say it again—you're cribbing and cribbing BADLY from Brandon Flowers. And you sire, are NO Brandon Flowers. The Nirvana guy stinks to high heavens, too—and every time they say the name "Storm Large," I laugh out loud and start thinking of more fake "rock and roll" names like "Hurricane Medium"and "Thunder Tuna."

I thought Dilana was really good last night. [/embarrassing admission of the day] And her outfit was another Hot Topic clearance special.

I agree. Kurt's howl was an instrument onto itself. And I can't listen to anyone else sing, "And I swear that I don't have a gun," considering his death. Yes, I'm a fan. A pretenious Nirvana fan.

Now much more Nirvana is on that damned song list. EVERY week? And while I think the guy (phil?) who sang it this week sounded better than Cobain(gag), he did sound a bit constipated w/ the silly growling.
Another week of wannabe's who think that appearance is talent. Ever wonder how many HOURS these people stand in front of their mirrors posing (especially the blond chick that Tommy Lee so obviously wants).
I think it's fitting that Lucas has a skunk strip on his head, cuz he stinks to high heaven.
Dilana, whom I can't stand, has ONE sound and all she does is turn the volume up or down on it. And this impresses the judges?
Zayra...she needs to sing some Bjork.

Considering the former groups these 3 guys are from...
Where's the ROCKIN, gritty, scare your momma, take no prisoners, etc. Singers? What sensitivity seminar's did they find most of these guy contestants at?

This show reinforces why I don't listen to the radio, or watch music videos.

I hate Lucas. I really also want to punch him. I hate practically everythign about him.

I actually thought Storm Large did a pretty good job last night. I hated the blonde who got into a chick fight with Patrice over the Beatles song. I thought she was horrid.

The same thing that bothers me about American Idol also bothers me about this show---there's never any sign that these people understand what they're singing. Like with Fortunate Son, he had absolutely no emotion. Does he know what that song is about? Does he know how the person singing it should feel when he's singing it?

I think that's why I'm always disappointed when they sing Nirvana songs. The songs obviously had a lot of emotional meaning to Kurt Cobain but the lyrics themselves don't make much sense. So when these little rock posers get up there and sing, they just blankly recite the lyrics and make sexy face to the cameras. "And I swear that I [make sexy face] don't have a gun!" [straddle the microphone stand] "no I don't have a gun"

I'm a total reality tv ho, I'll admit, so I'm predisposed to like second seasons of almost anything. But when I compare this season of "rockers" to last season's, this group really seems to come up short. With the exception of just one or two, this bunch just seems like a bunch of posers...

Are the rockers really worse, or was it my wish for INXS to get a decent singer that made it so much more special for me last year?

[Oxynia]

No, they're worse. Much worse. Last time, there were half a dozen good singers in the bunch who may not have been right for INXS but had obvious talent and didn't seem like they were trying to skate by on a manufactured image.

This morning on the Sam Malone show here in Houston (morning radio show), He had Dilana on there, and she totally busted him for giving her the lowest rating when she did "Gimme the Mike", this lame Houston American Idol show. She was so charming and adorable, and her lovely South African voice completely won me over. Shoot. I wish she would stop with the pseudo-rock posturing, but I can't help but like her now. Amazing how one nice interview can completely change your opinion about someone.

And they were joking about how she failed so miserably on Gimme the Mike, because she sang that Cranberries song, and yet did so well on Rock Star with the same song. She also said that she doesn't like when Tommy Lee is flirting with her, because if she wins this thing, she wants to be in a band with her "brothers" and not some guys that are constantly trying to get in her pants. She was really down to earth.

[margojata]

Does anyone think that Dilana can lose at this point? Unless they want to keep it a bad boy's club - she's the closest thing to a star that they're gonna get. The men are all wannabe wimps - and the other women seem like wannabe pretenders too.

I AM really tired of the rock talk and sign flashing. It makes me giggle, actually! They're all trying to be so hard ass - and Tommy Lee shows up in a pink jacket. What do you think the collective IQ of the band is?

Why am I watching this again? I was a big Marty fan last year - anyone know what happened to him?

[Deleted]

Marty and his band the Love Hammers put out a cd, it was ok. IMHO the band and the songwriting just isn't good enough for him. He was awesome on the show singing those great songs. Saw him live in a very small venue, up close and personal. He is without a doubt one of the best performers I've ever seen. If he had the right band and music he could be huge.
