I love that show. Some of those people suck, but there are more good than bad, I think. And the really good ones are really impressive, not just "yeah I could see where they would develop into something good with a bunch of training."
She was one of my favorites.
Edit: They should have axed the entire bottom three tonight and gotten it over with.
Agreed. Those guys sucked major ass.Quote:

We should have just turned it off after the encore performance... The elimination show concept sucks at the beginning until there are actually good people at risk of getting cut.Quote:

I think it will be interesting to see what SuperNova sounds like when the contest is over. Lee, Clarke and Newsted are all talented musicians, but all play very different music. Voivod is light years away from what Motley Crue does.
That chick Dilana fucking rocks. :eek:
good voice, good song, but the two did not jive...
...imho
hmm, I actually didn't like that although I LOVE the original... I'm not gonna argue that she's not talented, cause she, just seems more suited to Arch Enemy than Nirvana...

Cobain is currently rolling over in his grave that his music is being performed on a show that is the complete opposite of what he stood for musically.
I happened upon this show the other night. Is this show about music and talent or is it a fashion show for uber-trendy industry wanna-bees? Seriously, I've never seen such a laughable bunch of homogeneous "rebels" in my life. I do know that Tommy Lee is a third-rate drummer at best and that Metallica completely lost it the moment Jason Newsted joined. Where's that other "dude" from?Quote:

Gotta agree with El Chupacabra, that sucked. I don't know what was worse the music, the wavery voice, or the dancing. I suppose it could be because of the video quality, but there was no intensity in the music. It sounded like a highschool band was forced play the song without practicing. Between the refined rebel look and her impersonation of Sheryl Crow I was left mostly unimpressed. And that dancing, Jesus give her a just a touch more make up and she'd look like a umpa lumpa. Glad I don't watch that show.
I'd still fuck her though. I would request she give me that honed angry child look though.

Tonight was not one of Storms best performances.
I could not stand Lucas the first couple weeks, I think he's a creepy lookin little dude but the past few weeks I have really liked his singing.
I don't see how anyone other than Dilana could win this thing. I can see her fronting a big deal rock band.
I'm not a fan of Dilana. I find her voice to be grating sometimes. By grating, I don't mean hard core; I mean like nails on fucking chalkboard.
That said, I thought she did an awesome job tonight.
Ryan was really good too, but he's too hit and miss and I don't think he'll fit the band very well.
I really have to disagree with the band though. I thought Storm kicked ass tonight. I normally hate that song, but she brought some life to it tonight. I really dug her arrangement for the whole song. If anything, the band should blame themselves for tossing such a crappy song out there. If they didn't want to hear it, then why put it on the list?
Magni definitely had an off week. His voice was a really bad fit for that song.
Toby killed it last week, but this week just wasn't his deal. That's a really difficult song to pull off. I really only think Peter Gabriel is capable of doing it well. It needs a very specific voice and style that's just unique to him. Still, kudos for giving it a go.
Patrice's vocals were great tonight. Her big problem though was she played for the cameras too much. She looked good when singing for the close-up shot, but from a live audience perspective her performance was severely lacking.
Lukas was solid as always. So far he's my favorite to win. Mainly because I think the band would be at it's creative best with him. The other singers would merely give Supernova a mainstream sound. That's my big beef with Dilana. Her sound is too forced and stereotypical.
As for Zayra, she needed to go a long time ago. I think the band is just keeping her around for eye candy. I haven't been remotely impressed by a single performance of hers and I think she killed herself tonight as far as the competition goes. She sang a latin pop song as an audition for a hard rock band. WTF?!?! That said, it may have been a brilliant career move. She sang pretty damn well tonight in front of a huge TV audience. You've gotta bet someone took notice that she's pretty talented in her genre of choice. She may have lost the competition but gained a contract in the process.
motley crue kicked ass.Quote:

I see Dilana or Toby heading this band. Prolly Toby, since he seems to fit with them. I don't think they are looking to break the mold too much with this "band" of theirs. Put a good looking front man up there, belt out a couple of mediocre rock tunes, sell an album based on the TV show, and call it an afternoon.
Thank you for saying that....he wouldn't have given them the rights to the song if he were alive..damn you courtney love, you crack whore!:the_fingeQuote:

Yeah, cause their appearance on MTV Unplugged and resulting album were sooooo non-sellout. Please.Quote:

Sure the players are rehashed, but is it really that big of a deal? Gilby Clarke is a really good guitarist, Newstead is an awesome basist, and Tommy Lee is a good drummer. Maybe Tommy isn't the best ever, but he can cut it for sure.
Oh and to me, Dave Navarro is pretty much beyond reproach. Sure I didn't agree with him about Storm last night. But no one can dispute that he's a great guitarist and was a member of one of the most influential bands of the last 20-30 years (Jane's Addicition). Plus I love his honesty. He's not afraid to give people props when they do a good job, and his criticism is always honest and constructive.
Also, I like that fact that most of the singers aren't plotting to undermine each other (Dilana being a slight exception). Evidence of this is how they work out the song selections. No one's really gotten in a fight over anything. It's always been settled peaceably. They pretty much get up and do their thing and let their work speak for itself. That's cool in this day and age of reality shows where everyone is conniving to kill the next guy.
I can't like their music because they have too may tattoos.
Does anyone Vote online? I voted for the first time last night.
You're too old anyhow.Quote:

The original Supernova song they played today sucked though.
I generally only watch Tuesday's show. The elimination show on Wednesdays bores me. So I checked out the new Rockstar tune on youtube and I take back everything I said. Dilana is perfect for them. That song sucked donkey balls.
I knew Storm, as she was my bartender @ my old local, the Rat & Raven (RIP), in SF's Noe Valley neighborhood. First day I moved in (Sept '95), my roommate and I strolled down to the Rat for a pint after moving all day.
Up walks this tatooed rocker chic behind the bar, she burps in our face, and says "what will you white boys have?" - my roomie first says "nice burp, real lady-like" sarcastically, and Storm replies "yeah, you should see my penis!" - we knew we had a good bartender then....
We used to come into the Rat on Sunday nights, bring in burritos or pizzas, and watch the Simpsons with her @ the bar...she was always entertaining....
I had no idea she was on this show (I am adamant about not watching reality TV) until my old roommate called me up a few weeks ago and was like "dude, Storm is on some reality TV show with Tommy Lee and Dave Navarro!"....too funny.
The first half hour tonight was a He said She said reality TV. What a dissapointment. I just keep switching back and forth between the show and the news. If I was not so curous to see who wins?
Very dissapointed, its like watching a bucth of highschool kids.
Yep, probably the only reason I even watched this was because of the lack of reality show squabbling. Keep this up and I'll be back to watching nothing with live actors again.Quote:

I wonder what song "the band" will perform tonight. They should come up with better tunes than the pop rock crap they played the past two weeks.
My new favorite is Toby. That guy's been bringin' it the last few weeks. Lukas' voice is starting to annoy me. Dilana's has since day one. Ryan is just too fake for me. Storm is meh.
I just think Toby would kick ass with them, provided they can actually write a decent song as opposed to the swill we've heard so far.
What about the Icelandic dude? He's worried if he's in the bottom 3 tonight he will be the next to go, which would be a shame because he's one of the top 3 IMO. But I think Supernova & Navarro like him and didn't think he should have ever been in the bottom 3. I would say that it's between Toby, Magni and Dilana at this point. I predict Storm Large to be the one saying adios tonight, but wouldn't be surprised if it was Lukas. That Ryan's a poseur, but they seemed to enjoy his antics on the piano last night, even though he was drowned out by the house band in many parts of Clocks.
If Toby doesn't win this thing, it's cause he will be too much competition for Tommy in the lady department. My thinking, if I am an aging rockstar with a shitty new band that will probably put out only one album and a tour (riding the high after the show), then I want Toby up there. He will pull the hot chick demo, and let's face it, that is what it is all about. Their songlist ain't gonna get the crowds. Having your pick of Toby's rejects would beat the shit out of sloppy seconds from Lucas or Dilanna. Storm, well she might bring out the hotties, but that might not be the type of chicks Tommy is looking for. Plus, I don't think she is talented enough. If I see her make one more stupid hand jesture in the background, I might have to slap her. She will be gone tonight. You just don't bring the strongest guy in the competition out to back you up on a song. It shows how much better he is than her. He sounded better, and he only had a bit part.
Oh, and as for reality shows, I am with you. I really hate them. This is different. The drama shit is stupid, but these folks can sing. This is American Idol for the cool kids. It has just gotten better and better, minus the bullshit drama. They are singing really good tunes, too. The Supernova song sucked, but I could see it being pretty good on the radio. It is amazing what they can do in a studio. Not my type of music, but I don't think I am their target audience.
