I know I have picked on Dilana occassionally , but I have to say a couple more things...

...that look on her face when the guitarist said she was "ignorant" for not knowing the original version of the cover song yet modifying was...priceless.

...and the old "I've torn a calf muscle...feel for me" trick....worthless!

yeah, I was a little like "ehhh" when she started hobbling around.

the weird thing I noticed was that since her little eruption, the show itself has really focused on her faults and really shows a lot of smack concerning her. shows you how much a reality-based show is heavily swayed by producers.

Yes, definitely, considering I loved her in the beginning and now she reminds me of the devil.

I really have to ask what you all see in Lukas. I haven't liked him from the beginning, but last night was just the worst for me. I hated both songs and so did two of my co-workers. So I'm just curious as to what you see that we don't.

Well, yeah, her hopping around was just weird. It had to have been real though, because she must have known it wouldn't really help her. It really made her look pathetic.

Yes. If they had decided they wanted to keep her around based on her talent rather than sacrificing her for the drama, she'd be in an altogether different situation right now. It was the relentless focus on her screw-up that led to her self-destructing so badly. I just wish she hadn't made it so easy for them to make her look so nuts. Why couldn't she have better control of all her issues? Oh Dilana, why do you have to be such a mess? Her resignation to it now is sad to watch.

I'm not a huge fan, but I do think he's a good fit for the band. I personally think that his actions on stage are directly ripped off from Mick Jagger & Scott Weiland. I know imitation is the best form of flattery, but it's pretty ridiculous. His voice is very rough, very R&R, so that's why I think he has a good shot.

I was really excited about Storm's performance's , although, I wish she could have sung "What the Fuq is LadyLike?" instead of "What the What...". After the webisode, and Gilby's comments about Toby, I am betting on Toby as the winner now.
Maybe Storm will perform mmore with Dave Navarro. It was great to see her having fun up there, and getting some compliments for her song.

I agree. And I hope she works them out because she is talented and could go a long way.

There's a rumour that Gilby's wife wants Magni to win because he's married and she thinks the others are too risky with respect to certain behaviors.

I like his stage presence, his glam look and I think he's talented both as a writer and player.

He's Canadian, what's there not to like?

Wow, you really know how to kick someone when they're down!

I thought all their original songs sucked ****. I thought it was so bad that I switched to Larry King and watched the tribute to Steve Irwin instead. Dilanna is whacked and she scares the **** out of me. She'd be one moody bitch to be on tour with! and I think the guys know that.

We've talked quite a bit about double standards on this board. No one attacked Lukas for not knowing "You Can't Always Get What You Want", but Dilana got yet another slap for not knowing the Who song.

I really think once Zayra left, the producers needed a new person for drama, and Dilana unfortunately gave them that opportunity. She was treated a little unfair, in my opinion, but ultimately is responsible for her downfall.
