Drummer's better, though. Even on the early Motley Crue records, Tommy Lee's talent was apparent (whereas the other musicians...well...not so much).

One of the singers is from Portland - Storm Large. That's her real name. I saw her perform just a few weeks ago and she's fantastic. I don't know if she's right for this band, but she's a great singer and performer.

I watched the first episode and realized I sing better than all of the contestants, which means this band is REALLY gonna suck, considering the over-the-hill talent they've already got on instruments. Much like how the new INXS sucks. Big time.

I think what happened was the guys knew that one the chick can't sing and two, they'd be babysitting the kid on the road. They want someone who has some idea of what they are doing already.
They got rid of the boy first so as not to give him hope he'd bein Supernova but to give a push to do his thing. If they got rid of the Jahyra right away they would lose their chance to get rid of the kid. Jahyra will go when someone they want to keep is in the bottom 3.

Okay, Anakh Sun Amon, or Zaida or whatever the hell her name is, needs to go. She has no clue what a hard rock/heavy metal singer is.
And Dana is all kinds of hot, but she has no stage skills. She keeps singing to the camera and while her "Do Me Hard" look is nice, it would be lost on a crowd who isn't watching her on TV.

I was over by CBS sunday night, and stopped for a bite @ Erewhon. A stream of people started walking by, east on Beverly from Television City. Four stopped to get some water, and I asked them where they were coming from. They answered "Supernova." I fogot to ask them who got bounced, though.

I think they're keeping just to be able to not throw out on they like that happens to get in the bottom.
I watched some of it tonight and taped it for the BF. I started watching the guy who tried "Fortunate Son" and I changed the station because he was singing it too soft.
Which one is Dana? She the "Cats" girl or the "Born to be Mild" chick?
I want the little blonde chick gone because she comes off really whiny. If I was Patrice I would have told her to stfu and possibly slap her for being the whiny cow she is.
Lucas (the Canadian) who did the Rolling Stoens song I want gone simply because when Jason told him to take care of voice he basically flipped him off. I don't care if he's been singing that way for 15 years. He's not going to get another 15 out if it if he keeps it up.
My top 3 are "Ring of Fire" woman, the dude from Iceland and the dude from Australia. Tho I didn't see the show tonight I will see it tomorrow when my Jay-bear watches it.

I watched it tonight, two of the girls seemed like they were trying out for country-rock bands (the Bon Jovi song was one, forget the other.) The girl doing "Everybody Hurts" made me think of that line about tragedy being repeated as comedy. No surprise Jason Newsted sat in on the bass-centric "White Rabbit."

I watched it tonight, and I thought Dilana--who sang the Cranberries' "Zombie"--gave the best overall performance. Plus, she's got a distinctive look, and her vocals--while most definitely rock-based--have a bit of world-weary soul in them.

Heh... My first thought when Brooke Burke said he was singing "Fortunate Son" was "Uh oh, Tina's gonna be pissed."
And, good god, is Burke a paint-by-the-numbers host. She'd be lost without her cue cards.
Which one is Dana? She the "Cats" girl or the "Born to be Mild" chick?
Dana's "Born to be Mild." I forgot what she sang, but she kept looking at the TV cameras instead of the crowd.

Is there any question that the Australian is going to win the whole thing. Just like last years, these bands are not going to have a girl singer. And everyone else is an emo or indie singer and not a metal singer.
I mean the choices for them are so limited. The only competition I can see is the Icelandic guy vs the Australian guy.
Jessica Drew

I think Lukas has a great chance to make the band, and I think he's the best of the all the guys on the show. He may seem to have some attitude problems, but I think the band members are a bit used to that, and I think they actually want someone with a bit of an edgy attitude. I wouldn't want to be friends with him, and he may not have the best voice among all the contestants, but he knows how to energize a song, putting his own stamp on it without completely changing the core of the song itself.

He is so derivative of som many indie artists out there but without the voice for it. He has the stage presence, I'll give you that, but his voice will totally be overshadowed by the band when they perform live.
I want to see them really break out the Metallica or Motley Crue, or even whatever Tommy Lee's last band was. So far its only been classic and indie rock, nothing to really get the "growl" going. True colors will be seen then.

Brooke is all stand there and look pretty. Remember Wild On?
I still don't know the people for their names cept the Canadian:o. When the guy came on the stage to sing Fortunate Son I was apprehensive at best. When he opened his mouth I wanted to stuff a sock in it. Some protest songs are meant to be sung softly. Fortunate Son is not one of those songs. I don't know if he rocked it out after I changed the station but after the first few phrases he didn't give any indication he would. He wasn't trying to be Tina Turner doing "Proud Mary".
Okay.. Dana's that chick. I thought she was the girl that "Surrender" last week. The "Surrender" girl seems to play to small places that allows for subtle little things like she was doing. She needs to get a bigger to capture the arena's attention because even with vid screens the camera's not always going to be on her.

Lukas rubs me the wrong way with the way he tried to cut down Jason behind his back for commenting on his vocal styling.
Gilby is out from a band with a meglomaniacal front man. Tommy is from a band where he's had notorious differences of opinions with the lead singer. And Jason's from Metallica, nuff said there :D

Lucas sounds like the type of guy you want fronting a Hard Rock band. The Lead Singer is supposed to dictate and be the centerpiece of the band. Yeah , he can be a prick like Axl Rose , but as long as he delivers and takes the Key Spot , thats all that matters. Gonna watch the show tonight.

I just listened to Lucas's July 18th performance and ...damn. The guys seem totally into what he brings which is a youthful energy. Yeah his vocal cords are raw , but that should be hard rock. I'd love to see him rip into a Guns n Roses tune and I don't usually like covers of G'n'R and want people in these type of shows to do it.

From what I've read the original Supernova was a small indie band . I can see how no one would have realized this.
They were never huge, but they've been an established punk rock outfit for year. The band has 3 albums, one of which was on a major label, Atlantic (check allmusic.com) and they were on the Clerks soudtrack (Chewbaca, what a wookie!). It's rediculous that Tommy, Gilby, Jason and the producers would choose the name.
I want to see them really break out the Metallica or Motley Crue, or even whatever Tommy Lee's last band was. So far its only been classic and indie rock, nothing to really get the "growl" going. True colors will be seen then.
They're probably not allowed to sing any songs from Metallica, the Crue and G'N'R. At least not yet.
Anyway, last night they definately picked the right person to go. Jenny was just lost trying to sing a real rock song. She should persue a career along the lines of Sheryl Crow or Sarah McLachlin (I spelled that wrong, I'm sure).

I think they are more likely to get Crue songs in than any of the others.
Anybody watch the "Mansion" eps. Today's challenge was "Let's a write a song".
I don't have much faith in Lukas or Jill? (mini-Courtney Love).
And I'd wish that anime cat girl with the mic stand fetish would understand that when Tommy says "I want to see more of you" does not mean "I wanna see your boobies". It means stop acting like a rockstar and be a rockstar!!

Thus far I've enjoyed " Bitter Sweet Sympohny " by Lukas as his cover. I think he really knows what works for his stage act. The whole deal with toning down the lights is something Tommy Lee LOVES. He woulda made it harder. Newstedt says he needs to open his vocals more.
Some chick does " Call Me " and Dave Naverro rips her good. Yeah listening to what these guys want from what they laid down , tells me they want a girl singing " Call Me " by Blondie. WOW....
Dana gets hardcore as she delivers Nirvana's " About a Girl " which could have been bad. But rocked the house and she does it acoustic. Its a tough song because Cobain really nailed it when he was in pain and Amy came close as a woman singing it. The guys put her over. She's close to winning this week for me.
Patrice does a horrible toned down cover of a Black Crowes song. God...it was horrid. Dave Naverro rips her a new ass as usual as she asks Dave if he ever changes up his stage act. To which Dave says " I have a job and you as of right now are trying out for one. " The band agree and say she sucked.
Tony deliver's " White Wedding " and its an ok cover. Nothing I'm gonna brag about. The band liked it.....

Magni comes out and he covers David Bowies " Heroes " in a pretty nice cover. Its a nice pop song but not something the band ( or me for that matter ) want. In fact they tear it into the song as being wrong.
Ryan does a cover of a Live song which is pretty kick ass. He has the look and all. I can admit that , to make it. But I think his voice isn't as strong to me. The band likes him though and are impressed by it.
Jill with Gilby picks " Brown Sugar " by the Rolling Stones. It goes ok til Jill tries to rape Gilby on stage since she obviously can't get her stage presence across after dancing like she was gonna get naked. Gilby takes offense ( wow ..me I typed that minutes earlier!) to the grinding. Tommy Lee however loves it.
Phil does a piss poor , making me vomit " One Headlight " by the Wallflowers. I know Jakob Dylan isn't a huge star , but I think he's pissing his pants at how bad this is. Dave and the band worry about this guys head bobbin and all.
Dilana decides to do " Time After Time " by Cyndi Lauper. Again.....does her and Blondie chick & Patrice realize what the hell thier on ? If this was American Idol...sure. But come on people. Tommy Lee , Jason Newstedt and Gilby Clarke made it CLEAR. They want ROCK . They liked it and well...I'll disagree with them I suppose.

Josh does a cover of Blind Melon's " No Rain " and well..its ok. I think he just needs to deliver something more. Its an ok pop song and all. But no one can do this song justice like the late great Shannon Hoon.
Storm covers " Anything , Anything " by Dramarama. Hmmm....now thats pretty cool. Of course she too goes into over acting mode but maybe they can tone her down . Band likes it.
The world is going to vote !
Ha ha ...Josh , Jill and Blondie Chick is in the bottom 3 ! Hell yes.....seems Jill's humpin Gilby didn't work.
Jill was damn good, no way she's in the bottom three tomorrow.
Phil was good last week, but lost his energy.
Dilanna was amazing. And I'm not a Cyndi Lauper fan.
First dude, with the white coat, wasn't as good as the band thinks he was.
Zayda looks good in blue spandex, but that ain't gonna save her ass. I got the feeling Gilby wanted to send her home right after she sang.

SUPERCWFAN1: Remember, now, the singers don't have THAT much choice in song selection. The songs we hear every Tuesday night are the ONLY ones offered that week. SOMEBODY had to sing the Lauper tune, and I thought Dilanna really brought it some power and soul (much like Lauper did--though I'm not too fond of the arrangement on the Lauper recording). Dilanna REALLY knows how to use her voice well.

Dammit, for some reason CBS didn't work last night. It worked fine for Big Brother, I switched to the White Sox and then the Cubs game, and when I switched back, CBS was all gray and Tivo recorded nothing.
Super, I assume you meant Toby not Tony, White Wedding was probably a great choice for him, and he growled and rocked his way through it. I am saying it again, he will be the winner of this season. The girls can rock but no way does Tommy Lee want a girl fronting his band. We already went through this last season, why do we need a repeat.

I think they get a long list to chose from because the band quested the Iceland guy why he did " Heroes " and why the one did " Call Me ".
From what they've shown on screen, at a certain time each week, the songs are posted on a bulletin board, and they all decide who will sing what. There have never been any songs left on the board after all the singers have picked. There have even been comments from the singers stating something like, "Well, I guess I'll have to take this one."
The girls can rock but no way does Tommy Lee want a girl fronting his band.
It depends on how seriously he takes the band. I figure he'll do the contractually-obligated one album and tour then dump the whole project and move on to something else.
I think the winner, whomever it is, is basically playing for a head start at a solo career.

Well on Monday Nights during the "mansion" eps. the "behind the scenes" stuff. You see them fight over and pick their songs. The songs are posted on a bulletin board and there seems to be only enough songs for the people singing.
I think the guys pick the songs they want them to sing and its up to the singers to pick out of those ones which ones they want as individuals.

I think pretty much that there are those who in the contestants who will be fast tracked to a solo career if they don't get picked. And if Magni doesn't get picked.. watch them pull an INXS and get him and his band to tour with them in Europe.

Phil does a piss poor , making me vomit " One Headlight " by the Wallflowers. I know Jakob Dylan isn't a huge star , but I think he's pissing his pants at how bad this is. Dave and the band worry about this guys head bobbin and all.
end of spoilers #2....
Considering it came down to Blondie chick and Phil , he lost out due to his bad head bobbing. Of course Jill survives to hump and ride Tommy Lee for the job next week. ;)

Tommy Lee loves women. I could see him in there voting for Jill and Zayra due to the fact he wants to f-ck them at some point.

Zayra is the easy go. She's not going to be the lead signer but she's there to keep any one they like and want who fall to the bottom 3 in the show.
I knew Phil was going to go because ya know Jason wouldn't allow him to be the frontman for the band. Phil just seemed to be there. Their just didn't seem to be any drive at all coming from him.
Storm Large.. I'm not doubting she's a talent but there's just something fake about her (and I'm not talking about the possibility of her cleavage). I like melodramatic rockstar stuff. Hell I'm fan of The Darkness. She just seems to be caught up in being the image of a rockstar and not being a rockstar.
I was telling my boyfriend, when Storm's on stage I can not pay attention to her. When Diliana is on stage I have to watch her.
Zayra must be blowing Tommy Lee. It's the only explaination I can think of.
Re: Patrice Pike.
I've seen her *many* times here in town.
her voice just is not translating well over the TV (similar to what happens on American Idol sometimes, I'd imagine).
she sounds WAY better than she does on the show.
my assumption would be that the same is true of a couple of the others (Zayra? Jill?). They must sound better live. . which would help explain why Zayra made the cut.

Alright, Ryan and Dhilana were awesome tonight. Dana was also really good. Patrice wasn't bad, but Dave was right, she turned the focus on Tommy Lee instead of herself.

Right now Dhilana is the only one I would pay to see (even if I don't know how to spell her name.)

I don'tthink Storm will win because I think because of her and Tommy's "flirtation" every interview is going to be about if he's schtooping her or not and I really don't think the other guys want that... if this is allegely about the music and all.
SUPERECWFAN1

Ryan really elevated himself tonight. I think his performance really was something that showcased that he can be an artist. The band loved his panio version of that REM song.
Lukas had an off night with Hole's " Celebrity Skin " . You can tell he wasn't clicking on all bases with it.
holographicspirals

Storm is going to win. She's the best singer, best performer, best looking, and the guys in SN talk to her like a friend, not a person auditioning for their band...[like they do with everyone else] And, she'll get along with the band better than anyone else.
I think they already have their mind made up..they can do whatever they want to keep who they already have decided is going to win...since America only decides the bottom 3..not who goes home, like on American Idol.
SUPERECWFAN1

I actually think Lukas has the best shot of winning this. Because at the end of his so/so performance Tuesday they all acted like " ok it wasn't as good , but he's a pro and knows it."
The fact Gilby and Tommy refer to him a star and someone fans will wanna watch to me shows that he's the guy. Bad hair and all. ;)

I think Lukas not being in the bottom 3 was people saying, "We'll let you have this screw up. DON'T do it again!". Lukas built up enough good performances to outwiegh his bad performance.
In a way I was kinda happy not to see Zayra in the bottom 3 and you know she was waiting for it.
SUPERECWFAN1
08-08-2006, 07:34 PM
Theres 10 left and thus far were seeing Lukas dedicate himself to changing up this week. When Dilana is the only one who wants to have the balls to play with Gilby this week thats telling. Thus far everyone is scared because the fans are very selective it appears.
Of course she blew the roof off the place and did very well. But then a very telling comment comes out " This shows now a woman could front our band " as Tommy Lee says. Its so telling because you can tell these guys aren't sold on women singers. It took that performance to consider it.
Up next is Jill singing " Mother , Mother " and my god ...its horrid. She followed a tough act and couldn't sell it. The band is split on it.
Mmmmm Ryan Star paints his face some and does " Paint it Black " . I gotta give him show points for the whole unmasking scene and and subtract points for making this Stones classic look like another , teeny bopper song where he gets loved by women. The band enjoyed it all. And Tommy hints Ryan got laid to be doing all this daring stuff. Seems Ryan is catching on huge.
Now Storm is doing " We Are the Champions " by Queen. It was pretty damn good by a woman. The band agree.
My f-ckin.....god. Zayra ....sucks monkey balls . Now she's dressed as an Oscar with a top hat. The band try and be nice saying she missed notes in all. I missed....what the hell was she singing ?
Josh is singing one of my favorites and Tommy Lee jumps up to suprise him. Its must be a Tommy Lee favorite as well as he runs up there. " Interstate Love Song " isn't an easy song and Josh is trying. I gotta give the man props for doing it and playing guitar because well... Scott Wieland never played guitar in it.
Tommy Lee thinks the guitar slowed him down. Gilby loves it as does Newstedt. Naverro says that from here on Good will be tough to cut it and Tommy Lee is still in his zone of loving that song. You can tell when an artist loves a song and Tommy must love STP's " Interstate Love Song " a lot!

Magni's doing another of my favorite songs and its Live's " Dolphin's Cry " . I really dig this song. Hmmmmm Magni is nailing it. I enjoy this cover a lot by him and the vocals are very raw. The band seem into it .
Naverro puts him over as being the only guy man enough to get up there alone and deliver that song alone. The band loved it....good song choice.
Patrice is up and she's....doing a song I love. " Instant Karma " is butchered. A song thats about social change is made into a pop single. If Magni can do a great cover , Patrice can do a worse one. Lennon odds are is rolling over in his grave listening to this.
The Band sees something I don't , except for Jason Newstedt who stays silent. I suppose he didn't wanna be mean and rip her. All he did was turn his face down and not say a word.
Ok ....well performing Radiohead is Lukas and I don't know that song But I fucking want it now! Lukas is back....and the band are ape shit for it. Tommy Lee gets goosebumps and is shocked. Newstedt finally gives the guy credit and he may have stole the show again.
All bow down to the Man.
" Burning Down the House " by Toby is next and that poor son of a bitch. He gotta follow a guy who just ripped. Toby is doing a pretty good job. Til he tries the megaphone for it. I'm not sold on that. The band are happy with it as Naverro is not sold on the megaphone eithor , lol.
Were gonna see who was in the bottom 3 now.
Your bottom 3 are: Jill , Patrice Zayrha lol. Poor ladies...

I don't know what it is but I can't watch this show first run. I have to watch it when the BF does the next day.
Zayra is scary but she doesn't make me want to run and hide like Jill does.
Zayra is a good showman, but the bitch can't carry a tune in a bucket. Why the band can't see this is beyond me.
Jill was also pretty bad. Jason was right, she was in and out vocally as she was running around in the crowd.
Patrice wasn't bad, she just wasn't all that good either.
Toby, Magni and Lukas did good. Storm has joined Dilhana on the list of people I would pay to see perform. Magni is very close as well.

The AXE falls on both Jill and Josh as Tommy Lee says both are history. I believe its due to the fact fans didn't respond to Lee being back there with Josh on " Interstate Love Song " and Jill finally as Newstedt has wanted her off for weeks.
They keep Ryan. Now its down to #8.
I figure they dropped two singers because the show needs to end before the regular season series start up.
Jill was good tonight, I think the bottom three for three weeks in a row is what led to her being cut.
Josh is a moron. The band complains that you hide behind your guitar and what do you do? Hide behind the guitar again.
Zayra makes Baby Jesus cry.

Jessica Drew
08-09-2006, 10:01 PM
I'm glad both are gone. Josh's style doesn't fit with the music this band will play, and Jill--as Athena mentioned--shrieks so much that she has very few vocal dynamics with which to work (though she did better tonight than she did last night).
I think I'm alone here in the following, but I like watching/listening to Zayra perform. Her vocal histrionics remind me a bit of Bjork, and her penchant for donning a snazzy new outfit each week reminds me a bit of Bowie (who, coincidentally, wrote the song "All the Young Dudes" that Zayra performed Tuesday night). She hits wrong notes often, but when she does, she's got enough chutzpah to hit it wrong AND loud. I like her derring-do, the way she'll change a song enough to make it fit her style (even though some of those changes have been pret-ty bad), and I like the way she'll start singing the chorus one beat (or a quarter beat, or a half beat) before it the band gets there, and how she'll hold that note over until the band/song catches up to her. She's certainly dynamic and off-kilter (and often times off-tune), but I think she's got the makings of a star...but she's not just right for our band, INXS...oops, sorry, I had terrible flashbacks to the irritatingly repetitive catchphrase of last season.

Storm's having a hard time finding a personality for her version of "I will Survive".
Toby's got trouble slowing down and as a sidenote for an Aussie can't hold his liquor. Then again for a Canadian I'm pretty disappointed in Lukas. :D
I'm really hoping Ryan will kill "In The Air Tonight"
I think they got rid of both Jill and Josh last week just to cut through the crap because they knew they would probably see them again next week and thusly upping the ante on getting people to pull out all the stops in their performances.

Zayra won to do her original song which is in Spanish. Of course why she would sing a song in spanish in front of 3 guys who odds are , no little of it...shocks me. Odds are she realizes her time on this show is growing short and its best to get a Shakira deal done by a label. The band thinks it sound beautiful but not really for them pretty much.
Magni is gonna do a soft version of David Bowie's " Starman " . I have to say....I'm not much of a Bowie fan but thats pretty good. Odds are ala Lukas last week , a Bowie fan will come on and rip my ass for liking it but hey....don't care. I liked it: END OF STORY.
The band put him over as a great singer. Gilby teases him over something and they tease him about dressing up. Tommy Lee to Jason Newstedt : " Tell me you haven't rocked something like that . In fact I know I have for court. "
Patrice is doing The Police's " Message in the Bottle " . Its not as horrible as I suspected. But I don't think Sting has anything to worry about. In fact as Patrice wants fans into it , they decline. Not a great sign for her.
Lukas is on doing something here with " Hero " . Its just a chilling cover. I honestly enjoyed that. The band dig it and Tommy teases he should have stood as Newstedt says he's gonna always get on him to open that vocal range. It seemingly clicked with the people there.
Storm is doing " I Will Survive " complete with bad karoke dancing. This is something you'd see a drunk woman do in a bar who thinks their Madonna. So ya can tell how nice this was.
Naverro trashes it as a bad version. Tommy trashes it and wants his money back. Gilby hates it as well and Jason doesn't say anything. Its ironic that I and these rock guys all agreed it sucked. I know my Icons people.....

Toby is gonna rock with Gilby and do " Solsbery Hill " by Peter Gabriel. Don't worry Gabriel...you don't have anything to worry about. The whole " Boom , boom , boom " just doesn't come across well at all. Toby tries playing the bongos to add something.
Naverro enjoyed it and thought it was ok. Whoa....thats where we disagree. Tommy Lee and the band enjoyed it and I suppose were gonna disagree on that.
Ryan is gonna do a straight up performance this week. He's doing a great version of " In the air tonight " . I gotta say it ranks up there with the Lukas and Magni work tonight. These 3 thus far seem to know what to play tonight.
Fans are into it and Naverro changes his stance. This is the best performance of the night. Gilby digs the extra effort that Ryan put into it. The rest of the band are pumped for it and tell him to keep it up.
Dilana is doing " Cats in the Cradle " and as someone who loved this song I'm sorta ...split on it. She has great vocals but the whole waving her hands , marching around and trying to get fans to sing it makes me shake my head. Doesn't feel right for that song .
Naverro changes his mind yet again and give Dilana the best performance of the night. The band digs it and I suppose they know. If I'm on this show , how many times will Dave Navvero change his mind and say " That was the performance of the night " and be taken seriously ?
Your bottom #3 are...........
Patrice
Toby
Zayra
Said it before, I'll say it again: I would pay to see Dilana sing tomorrow. Magni was awesome as well.

I actually enjoyed Toby's performance more than Lukas's tonight. Lukas is an amazing singer, and his growl can work well sometimes, but the way it works it's way into some of the softer moments of his songs just doesn't really do it for me. Still love him though.
In no order, Magni, Toby, Ryan, and Dilana, with Lukas just behind them, were the best performances of the night.
Zayra can sing in Spanish, but she's not at all right for Supernova.

I thought that Dilana and all the guys did a great job last night. Patrice was unimpressive, and Storm was awful. I'm glad that Zayra got to perform her song, because she deserves a record deal. Zayra also needs to be tossed off this show, because her taste in music is simply not compatible with Supernova.
jessecuster3
08-16-2006, 11:51 AM
I still say Toby wins it all. Lukas is starting to inch closer, and Magni is like the blonde guy from last year. A great singer, average performer, and the fans love him, but when it comes to the metal type rock that Supernova is going to play, I cannot see anyone besides Toby and Lukas nailing the really hard stuff. In addition, Toby also picked the hardest song to sing as it contains more words than any of the other songs combined, and he had the Gilby connection. This might have been a situation where the guys just just wanted to see if a tepid response(as usual it was good) would drive him to the bottom 3, so they could see him knock them out on a song of his own choice.
Dilana is great, there is no question, but at the end of the day I cannot see her higher than 4th or 5th. The same thing happened last year with Jordis, remember ?

So who is this years MiG then?
I say it's Storm.
Maybe Ryan ?
Although he and Storm do have that kind of opera thing going on. But she is nowhere as good as he was. The whole Dilana thing though is just comparing a girl fronting teh band to a girl fronting INXS it was never going to happen. And Jordis and Dilana are actually pretty similar musicians and performers.
This is such a different contest though, INXS are a pop group, whereas Supernova is made up of 2 glam rock/hair metal bands, and a metal guy. I think aside from Lukas and Toby noone else really has a chance.
And in the end, Lukas may be better fronting an edgy indie band rather than a mega huge metalish band.
But Toby would probably fit better as leader of a punk band so who knows.
Said it before, I'll say it again: I would pay to see Dilana sing tomorrow.
Consider it said again.
NO WAY! Magni should be in the TOP 3, not the bottom 3.

I really wanna be fair to Magni...but his version of " Creep " didn't do much for me. I mean , the whole walking over huggin his friends , lyin on the ground ect ect....didn't click with me as much as Lukas did .

I thought it was so weird that two of the bottom three picked songs that had already been performed by Lukas. Lukas did the superior version of Creep, but I think Magni vocally speaking had the potential to do better.

Yea, Magni's creep was rather disappointing considering his talent, but he definitely does not deserve to be anywhere near the bottom three.

Well, Magni did a straight ahead version of Creep and Lukas changed it a bit. I actually preferred Magni's because it was the original. I liked the way he went over to the other 2 of the bottm 3 and hung his head as he sang "I don't belong here"
As far as performing already done songs, I think for the most part they have these songs prepared weeks in advance, in the event they are in the bottom 3.

They were doing interviews, and in one, with this really rather rude interviewer, Dilana basically called out almost every other contestant. Said that she didn't think Patrice should still be there; that she didn't think Toby was really comitted; that neither was Magni, who was focussed on his family; and then she sort of just went on and on about Lukas (don't remember if she mentioned Storm). The interviewer told Lukas during his session, and he was pissed. Then they had a clip of Jason Newstead basically saying that if you did stuff like that, talking bad about people in the press, whether they be members of your band or not, it made people think they couldn't trust you. I agree. I wouldn't want it down about me, and I certainly wouldn't do it about anyone else.

She's scared.....Lukas has a lot of heat judging from the message boards I've seen. Odds are if Lukas wanted to win , this pushed him harder to do it !
Its interesting that Dilani feels she is the defacto winner now. She jammed 1 week with the band and its still wide open. If she pisses enough online fans off....what will happen this week to her ?

I watched the web episode where they gave the interviews. Lukas was a pro the entire time. He could have attacked her back and all. But he just reacted cool.
It pretty much shows Dilana is someone who is 2 faced. I mean you see what you get with Lukas. With her I can tell after this she's someone who sucks up to your face and then shits on ya.
I'd rather see Storm win it than her now. And thats pretty damn bad.

Ryan was great, too, on his original, and Toby seemed to bound with energy in his arrangement (which I hated) of "Layla." Patrice is gone tomorrow night. Magni underperformed, and though I thought Lukas and Dilana were solid, I didn't think they were spectacuar.

I agree, except for the thing with Storm; Steven Tyler is/was an amazing singer, ^_^, and I think she might be the next to go after Patrice.
I LOVE Lukas when he sings softly, but when he gets loud, there's just something about his voice that I don't like as much as the other guys'.

Ryan bores me. I wish to Gawd he'd stop staring into the TV. Yes, boy, you've got the tortured artist shit down that's nice.
I have to say.. I got shivers when Magni sang.
Diliana believes she's got a good chance to win. In the interviews there's only so far you can take diplomacy and say everyone's got a chance. While that is true it makes it sound like you don't really want to win and would be satisfied if someone else did. She reacted to questions and didn't think about her answers before she said them.
Ryan is also easily distracted I noticed. Which is probably why he stares straight ahead all the time. He's liable to lose his place in the song if he looks into the audience.

Storm was great last night. Toby did a great job crunching up Layla and making it rock harder. Lukas is one trick pony, every song he sings sounds the same. I liked Patrice's song alot but it proved she is not right for this competition. Ryan is slowly but surely picking up steam, this reminds me of JD from last year who won it all but was on the block early in the season. Dilana did an ok job of the song, but it wasn't great. And I remember liking Magni's song but now I do not rememeber what it was.

Ryan looks like JD version 2k6. I look and wonder if he's JD 2k6.
Now Magni could be a good front man if he sticks.
But yeah Lukas has the growl and can translate. Even when he screws up fans accepted it and let him skate by 2 to 3 weeks ago. I wonder if anyone else there has that type of grace period he has with fans ?
Dilana pretty much pissed me off with her primadonna act. Hey , you played 1 week with the Band. They didn't anniot you the winner or anyone winner yet. Best thing I watched was when Toby fooled her into running nude for the song to pay her back for talking shit about everyone.
My 2 picks are eithor Lukas or Magni. I favor Lukas more because he acts and seems to be promoted as a star. And if a band like Supernova are gonna get huge they need a frontman who is accepted as a STAR.

He does that with songs he really doesn't know. I think he's trying to stay with the band and keep his flow. He did that for " Celebbrity Skin " a few weeks back.
Also he's pretty much making his movements and all. It reminds me of Axl Rose who will if ya watch his concerts now , turn and face the band at times and sing. Or after a song he walks back facing away and says some words to the fans and gets ready to go into another song.
I think Lukas does it when he's on a song he really doesn't know mostly. But his movements and all had Tommy Lee and Gilby say he was a star on stage. Jason has issues with his vocals at times and I can see Jason looking on and going " If he wins , I could have a an Axl Rose and his vocals may go on a long tour. "
My worry is that as well. Because he's pushing his cords and he's young and all. But I know Rose has had problems and all with vocal problems. Ny main worry is if Lukas can stand up to a huge tour.

No way, the fans like Lukas too much. He totally mess up on "Celebrity Skin" and didn't even come close to being in the bottom three.
I haven't been keeping up with who is popular. I've missed some of the performance shows, so I guess I just haven't heard Lukas do something to impress me. I also don't think the guys will ultimately pick him because of his look, but I could be wrong.
I think one problem with this project is that the guys are writing and recording songs without the final singer selected. That has to either slot someone in thier minds early or will make it difficult for all the tracks to sound good on the record.

Which I think too. I could see them pick a Magni , Toby or Ryan for this . But they had better listen and watch how the overall voting is going for. The kids seem into someone and its about really , taking their past glory and molding it onto someone new.
If you have someone fans view as a Frontman and star , you better by god take him. Because the frontman is supposed to be the Main Guy. If your gonna do this , you best pick the guy who stands out no matter how they look because you wanna impress this new Generation of rock fans who are watching this CBS show.
JD Fortune was an ass. But he was a guy getting the attention. INXS saw this and saw that Fortune could possibly be the " Guy " for them. And he clicked. I believe the " Pretty Vegas " album by INXS sold very well for them after years away.
They gotta get the guy/girl who has the " It " factor. No matter if he looks like a young punk with bad hair lol.

Toby was fantastic on "Plush," really lighting into it, powerfull-voiced, and never off-key (which he's got a tendency to do sometimes). Surprised me. I had just about written him off as the next to go after Patrice. Now...well, I'm not so sure.

No way Ryan goes next week. He performed his own song this week, which the band liked; he was given the encore performance last week (or the week before--I forget); he wasn't in the bottom three this week nor last week.
It'll be Magni or Toby...or possibly Storm. Dilana, Lukas, and Ryan are all safe for at least another week.

We see more od Dilana's breakdown this week. Lukas seemingly was trying to talk with her to let things slide. The camera's get close and Dilana flips out and throws a glass . The shard flies off and busts Magni wide open !! Magni's doing a damn blad job to win this !!
My pick for Lukas comes true. I wanna see him cover Cobain.
Covering " Lithimum " is Lukas as its pretty damn good. Of course no one is a Cobain and Lukas makes it more of a fan deal. But it drives well and the entire band are hot for it.
Magni is doing " I , Alone " this week. Magni after doing a blad job , cuts a promo claiming he's trying and appeals to the countries of Canada , Australia , and America for the votes.
Now thats pretty damn good. If he's in the bottom 3 I'll be PISSED. I mean hell people...he did a f-ckin blad job for you ! Dave puts him over and Gilby claims he delievered the EXTRA. If he's in the bottom 3 I'll go ape shit on the voters.
Ryan Starr is doing a song I really like...." Clocks " by Coldplay. I gotta think that Ryan's making a push on Lukas and Magni thus far. His performing has gotten better and he's letting it rip more and more. But the song is turned into a bad rock song. The grinding on a panio seemed..to be pushing and Jason Newstedt said Ryan's strength is panio and once he comes out from it...he weakens.
I thought Ryan's performance was so/so. But thus far Magni seems in the lead.
This week Storm gets the Amy Lee , " Bring Me to Life " song. Storm looks scared and has Toby sing the background . Of course ya think Storm is gonna suck in this but she's suprisingly good. In fact Toby looks the weakest in this and the 2 chop the great male vocals off the end of this tune. The band and Gilby don't seem so into it.
Toby is doing the whole " Rebel Yell " by Billy Idol. I gotta give props to Toby who is trying to slave off being in the final count on this. He brings up some babes to dance on stage and has the fans take part.

I wanted to see Dilana mess up, but she pulled off a great performance tonight. There was a certain timbre in her voice that I didn't like during part of the chorus, but otherwise it was impressive.
Magni did a decent job, but I think he was bottom three this week, along with Ryan and Storm. Storm will probably get the boot.
Lukas put on an excellent show, and Toby really delivered the goods tonight. At this point, I'd like to see Lukas win the whole deal, but he's going to have to keep giving it his best if he wants to beat Toby and Dilana.

I'd say Storm is almost definitely going home. They haven't been impressed by her pretty much at all in the last few weeks.
Although, I too think that Storm might be going home tomorrow, I was impressed with her singing tonight. Her natural singing voice is an octave lower than Amy Lee's, yet I thought she sang it wonderfully. Her lower tones gave the song a bit more power and oomph than Lee's higher pitch does--and I'm not cracking on Lee's expressive voice, either--though Storm's dynamics suffered. As far as tone of voice goes, I think Storm sang better than the rest of 'em tonight.
Performance-wise, I thought Lukas, Magni, Toby, and Dilana all performed really well. Toby's not as strong and/or distinctive a singer as the others, but he's more affable, and Tommy Lee likes the prankster in him. Getting all the girls on the stage: good move on Toby's part.
After a somewhat warbly beginning, Magni really turned on his vocal power at the chorus of "I, Alone," and he seemed intense...but not depressingly intense, like Ryan. I tire of Ryan's angst, and I'm not sure how well that will translate to singing songs the like of "Girls, Girls, Girls," "Dr. Feelgood," or "Too Fast for Love" ('cause you know Supernova will cover the Crue on tour).
Lukas and Dilana--whom I don't like very much on a personal level--seemed to crank out powerful, creative, and distinct performances. I think either of these two would fit the band, as they're both fantastic front-men (er, front-people) and dynamic singers, and they seem to have a hint of unpredictability and "danger" about them. Don't know enough 'bout their songwriting chops, though. I'm sure, within the next month, the singers will each get to perform an original song, and I'm going to go ahead and say that either one of those two--Lukas or Dilana--will win over the other one based on his or her original song.

I like Tommy Lee , Gilby Clarke and Jason Newstedt as talented muscians . But if the leader out front isn't someone dynamic then....well this is a waste.

I agree with you, Jessica Drew, save for the fact that I don't think Lukas is the top male pick at the moment: I'd give that to Toby. The only thing Lukas really has going for him that might put him on top is the apparently large fan following, which, if he is in fact in the bottom three this week, might not end up a factor after all. He's definitely a good singer (I personally prefer the softer, less harsh tone he can use), but I don't think he's necessarily impressed the band as much as, say, Toby or Magni. They even picked Toby for the performance last week (which, no matter what they say, means something; see: Dilana being the first). He also hasn't noticeably improved and/or delivered a shiver worthy performance (i.e. Ryan post-Losing My Religion). Still, I could see him lasting longer than some, but I don't see him being the final male performer, let alone the winner. I would also disagree about Toby having an un-unique voice; he seems to me to have one of the larger vocal ranges for the males.
Anyway, Dilana was good and all tonight, but Dave calling it the best performance of both seasons? Please, it wasn't even the best of this season, and it's just a speck in the dust compared to Suzie's Bohemian Rhapsody on the last.

I'd say Toby and Dilana should be safe for tomorrow. Dilana lapses into raw power screams at times on the high note climaxes, but that won't cost her yet, if ever.
Storm was the weakest tonight even though some of that was out of her control to some extent. That song forced her to take on another singer to do the male part. Although maybe it just put into sharp relief that she is not outshining the others at this point.
As for the rest, I thought Lukas was good, but both he and Magni didn't really close out the songs completely. They just seemed to run out of focus and air by the end. It is a minor point, but they should watch that and for that reason, they should get sent to the bottom three tomorrow. The fans could drop Ryan down there as well. I didn't really feel the changes to the Clocks opening, and his antics during the song seemed a little overwrought.

I think the main problem working against Toby is the fact that he's been sent down to the bottom 3 at times he's played with Tommy and Gilby. He also was sent down last week after they picked him as a tryout.
And the song sucked a d-ck. That song was horrid and I'm sure Lukas was happy he wasn't wasted on it. Plus as they have said " You all will get a chance to play with us in the next few weeks, it doesn't mean a thing if your not picked...yet. "
Plus the performance of " Creep " was pretty much the best one this year by Lukas and even Tommy Lee said he felt shivers. So take that for what its worth.

Granted, I'd forgotten about Creep: that was awesome.
Also, last week was Toby's first in the bottom three.
And, yes, the song pretty much sucked.

I got Toby and Josh mixed up sad to say.

Barring an unbelievable performance Storm or Magni is gone this week, I think it will be Storm.
I am however beginning to think how Supernova and Dave say what they say is having a much bigger impact than what they say. I don't think Dilana did as well as they made out that she did and I thought Toby did awesome and they really downplayed how much they liked it.
Everyone was great last night however, and this will be a tough elimination this week.

I couldn't wait until the end of the show to say this: Storm is going home.
I don't even know who the third member of the bottom three is tonight, or how they will sound when they perform, but it would take a disaster to do worse than Storm. She picked a challenging song, and just blundered through it with strong off-key singing and unimpressive stage antics. The crowd was pumped up by the previous performances tonight, but they seemed less enthusiastic about Storm.
Lukas is starting to look like a winner. His performance with the band tonight was great, he really looked like the frontman for Supernova.
Oops, as I type this, Dilana is self-destructing with a bizarre opening to an old Talking Heads song. I think she might still pull it off, but I am hating that eye-yi-yi sound she's making right now.
