Rock Star SUPERNOVA: Performances (9/12/06)

The final chapter begins...

1. Ryan Star - "Back Of Your Car" (original song)

He was the eliminatee who received the most "fan favorite" votes. It
was good to see him, and to hear his original again.

2. Toby Rand - "Karma Police" by Radiohead
"Throw It Away" (original song)

WiNK...

How funny--I said the same thing to my daughter!!!!!

seapig...

That makes at least three of us. I'm not sure what it says about the
"super group" Supernova that I'd rather see a group made up the show's
contestants than them.

WiNK...

They had *something*....a chemistry. *That* counts for a lot.

seapig...

I also like it when bands spread the lead vocal duties around. You
don't see that as much as you used to, but I can think of a few from
the '60s and '70s that sold tons of records doing that.

Ra...

I'm assuming you DON'T mean Supernova.
They have nothing.

How sad that people accept these clowns as 'Stars', simply because Tommy has a big dick.
They are as big a farce, musically, as William Hung.

The Radiohead song sounded iffy at first, but once he found his way it
worked fine. His original is still fun.

3. Lukas Rossi - "Fix You" by Coldplay
"Headspin" (original song)

WiNK...

I don't understand it either... in fact, I never will. I'm okay with just
about every choice for the singer, except him. I'd go see Supernova with
three out of the four in the singer role.....

seapig...

Yeah, my first choice is Magni, my second choice is anybody but Lukas.
If I've learned anything from watching reality TV, that means Lukas is
a lock.

WiNK...

No lie. (remembering how much I liked MiG last year....)

seapig...

I was a Marty man myself.

Locutus...

Marty didn't have the "look".

John...

Perhaps not, but IMHO his voice and delivery were better than anyone of
this year's contestants. If these were truly the "15 best unsigned
rockers on the planet" or whatever it is they have been saying, the
music business would be in even worse trouble than it is already.

His voice sounded different than usual for the Coldplay song. And I'm
glad he played "Headspin" a different way this time (acoustic and
low-key). Having said that, I wasn't thrilled by his set.

4. Dilana - "Roxanne" by the Police
"Supersoul" (original song)

She did okay with her arrangement of "Roxanne", which is not an easy
song to pull off (ask Chris Pierson). Her original still sounds average
to me.

WiNK...

It's morning, and now I'm thinking that was totally on purpose.... the raspy
voice came out for the entire competition for Supernova. But I think she's
thinking she isn't going to be the singer, and she needs to show what else
she can do for the music reps. The rasp "pigeon-holes" her..... her "other
voice" gives her some versatility. Her pitch was pretty near perfect,
without the rasp..... I loved it.

Tim Hall...

Dilana had a great comeback tonight, Roxanne was by far my fav
performance of the night. I would like to see her or Lukas win it.
The other two bore me to tears.

ravenlynne...

I disagree...and that's ok. I think Dilana is AMAZING. I'd like to
see her have her own band. She doesn't seem like the type for
supernova. Lukas is growing on me, which I hate. I don't want to like
him...Magni is a fantastic vocalist...but again not right for the
band...too clean. The only one left, IMO is Toby...I don't care for
him that much but he "fits" IMO with the band...

5. Magni - "Hush" by Deep Purple
"When The Time Comes" (original song)

"Hush" was awesome! Loved his vocal dynamics. His original is good,
too. Tommy Lee likes Dilana's original better? Come on.

Who cares who is in the bottom three tomorrow? Does it matter at this
point?
