Rock Star-Supernova

[Livia]

Who's watching? So far, the girls are kicking the boys butts, imo. Although I didn't care much for Jenny.

Gotta give it up for the homegirl, Patrice Pike (she's the one who did Somebody to Love). She's been around the local scene a long time, I hope she does well, she deserves it.

She was really, really good- I think vocally, she was the best. I also liked Storm and Dilana (SO nasty- I *love* it!). None of the guys really impressed me.

[Lisa1769]

I am!! I only got to see the last half though. Lukas scares the hell outta me, but he was really really good. I cant wait to see an entire show, then I'll make my picks.

[gldstwmn]

I'm going to vote for some of them but I can't remember their names. :o The girl that did the Nirvana song is scary. I liked the guy from Australia and the girl that sang first. I didn't care for the Puerto Rican girl's voice but she had stage presence. The girl that did Janis reminded me just a tad too much of Pamela Anderson.

[Livia]

Dilana, Jill and Matt like FM:

[golden braid]

So far I'm not into any of the singers unlike last year when I loved Jordis right from the start. I thought a lot of them sucked. The guy doing "Roxanne" was one of the worst things I've ever heard. I thought Dana (I think) who did Melissa Etheridge has a good voice. The Nirvana chick was creepy.

[skcin]

Exactly. I love that crazy bitch, she's exactly what they need. :nod:

I didn't watch last season, but happened to turn it on last night. Ended up voting for Dilana, Storm, Lukas & the little blond chick that did Janis.

The guy who mauled Roxanne should go. Like, now. The other boys were OK, but nothing special. The Puerto Rican girl is gorgeous, and has a nice voice, but it was obvious that she was way out of her range with the Evanesence tune. I don't think she's good enough.

[gldstwmn]

The guy who mauled Roxanne should go. Like, now.

I think he will end up going home tonight especially since Gilby told him he sucked.

[Livia]

How mortifying for that Roxanne dude....but he deserved it. That was just....painful. Buh-bye.

[Rickypt]

The Nirvana chick was creepy.

She sure was.:eek:

I love this show and happy it's back. I agree that the women were much better than the guys. Although I like Ryan.

Dave Navarro still bugs the f*ck out of me, though.

Ohmigod - I knew I recognized her (and her voice). I was flipping between the Dance contest & Rockstar, and I only caught her halfway through her song. I obviously missed her bio...

I used to go to Sister7 shows on 6th St. with some lesbian friends. They were all about The Patrice. She has certainly changed (in 10 years). Still sounds great tho. It's a shame she never got more support - that band had some great songs.

As for the show ... meh. The band said several times they were looking for "nasty" and "dirty", and the only one who really fit that bill was the last guy Lukas (?).

[Livia]

Lukas was the only talented guy of the night...we'll see what happens, though. I think I lot of the boys were really nervous, first night jitters...

Yeah, I've always liked Sister7...the badass player from that band (Derrell?) plays with the Dirty Wormz now. I like them too. :)

[DavidMn]

I'm not sure how much stock I put into this years contest. At least INXS was an established band. Who knows though, we'el see.

[skcin]

As for the show ... meh. The band said several times they were looking for "nasty" and "dirty", and the only one who really fit that bill was the last guy Lukas (?).

And the crazy gal Dilana. :wavey: My money's on her.

[Lee]

I really didn't want to watch this again because I could care less about any band with Tommy Lee in it, but I got sucked back in though I don't for how long. There's a person there from close to where I live; he's from Ocean City, MD; I think his name is Phillip. He was in the bottom three last night, & I hate to say it, but I can see why. He's not very good. Anyway, I fell asleep at the end, so I'm not sure who left. I'm not sure of all their names yet either. I did like the girl with the guitar. I don't know why, but she reminded me of Sheryl Crow. And I like the guy that sang after her on Wednesday, not sure of his same. Everyone is just so strange looking; so many tattoos. :shrug: Could they pick a stranger group? Oh well, maybe one of them will fit in with "Supernova". :nod:

Lee :)

[JazmenFlowers]

And the crazy gal Dilana. :wavey: My money's on her.
me too. she was very Stevie-esque last night.

and don't hate on Navarro...he makes my motors run.

[skcin]

me too. she was very Stevie-esque last night.

and don't hate on Navarro...he makes my motors run.


You know! He's kind of dirty, and wears makeup, and has a small build. But I think he's sexy as hell. Of course, I used to think Tommy Lee was sexy before he had hepatitis, so.... :laugh:

I do love the dirtbags. :nod:

[Livia]

Navarro IS hot! He and Carmen Elektra must make their bed linens ignite!

I love the bad boy eye candy!!

[Rickypt]

I find Navarro to be a phony dirtbag, which is why I don't like him.

I'm having trouble getting into this season of Rockstar. Last year was sort of fun because it brought back INXS nostalgia and I got to look at JD twice a week. The contestants were also a lot more interesting last year, in my opinion.

Lukas is obviously setting himself up as the aggressive and competitive "bad boy", a la JD Fortune. Dilana still frightens me, but my money is on her already.

What was that guy thinking doing a Duran Duran song?

Is it just a coincidence that the entire front row is filled with pretty young chicks with huge knockers?

And I guess I'm really getting quite old, but I find this kind of "dialogue" to be close to intolerable:

Navarro: "Dude, what's up"
Dude: "Chillin'"
Navarro: "Right on, dude. So, any regrets about last night's performance, man?"
Dude: "Nah, I gotta be me, and rock and roll is all about being yourself, know what I mean?"
Navarro: "Right on. It's rock and roll dude".

[DavidMn]

I find Navarro to be a phony dirtbag, which is why I don't like him.

I just saw in some rag where he's splitting up with his signifigant other.

[jannieC]

Of course, I used to think Tommy Lee was sexy before he had hepatitis, so.... :laugh:

I do love the dirtbags. :nod:
I still have feelings for Tommy Lee. In spite of his Hep. And I fear that this show is making me fall deeper in love with him....:o

[skcin]

Of course it is, silly. :p




I still have feelings for Tommy Lee. In spite of his Hep. And I fear that this show is making me fall deeper in love with him....:o

I do love the dirtbags.......

Ever hear Kathy Griffin's take on Tommy? She says she just looked at him across the room & he gave her crabs. :laugh:

[jannieC]

Of course it is, silly. :p






I do love the dirtbags.......

Ever hear Kathy Griffin's take on Tommy? She says she just looked at him across the room & he gave her crabs. :laugh:
Ohgod, I love the dirtbags, too! But seriously, doesn't he seem so NICE? Like, nicer than we thought? I've never heard Katthy Griffin's take on him- she slays me though. :lol:

[Livia]

I always thought Tommy Lee was a perfect gentleman to everyone on that Back to School show he did.

[ontheEdgeof17]

This season of contestants are freaks. :shocked: I wouldn't pay to see them live or buy an album. I'm not impressed.

[jannieC]

This season of contestants are freaks. :shocked: I wouldn't pay to see them live or buy an album. I'm not impressed.
I like three of the girls- that's it. Dilana, Storm, and the girl that played the guitar just now (can't think of her name).

[Livia]

Magni-My Generation-good, most improved performer compared to last week.

Jenny-Tainted Love-meh-I found her eye make-up distracting - cracked up when Dave told her she looked starving and to eat a sammich.

Jill-Violet-she sucked!! And Dave was right, how could anyone NOT know that album cover? I also felt that Jill was copying Dilana's manic performance from last week. Like she was thinking, "Oh, that's what they like? Okay, I'll do that." Wrong!

Zayra-You Really Got Me-I keep wanting her to do a Pretenders song, w/ that haircut she has. She sucked. And insulting the band was a bad idea. She probably thought Van Halen wrote it...

Chris-Take Me Out-he should have been taken out last week. Hate him.

Dilana-Ring of Fire-loved it-loved her outfit-but I keep hearing Marianne Faithful whenever she opens her mouth. She's got a unique look, but I want more from her singing. I think she'll make the top 3, since the band seems to adore her, and she would be a good fit.

Josh-Arms Wide Open-bleech. He does nothing for me.

Phil-If You Could Only See-see comment above re: Josh. I don't get why the band likes him so much either. He also needs to eat a sammich.

Storm-Surrender-I liked it, and totally agreed w/ the band re: the Broadway comments. She needs to quit making the cheesy facial expressions.

Patrice-Heart Shaped Box-Major points for playing the guitar. Despite the botched lyrics, the band loves her, she's got nothing to worry about. Did she really f*ck up or was her mike f*cked up? I was out of the room for a few seconds.

Ryan-Jumpin' Jack Flash-Nothing "rocker" about him to me. He screamed the end, and was off-key as well. He looks like Jerry Seinfeld's brother, not a rock star.

Dana-Born to Be Wild-she can sing, but she's too young. And dressing up like a rocker doesn't make you one.

Lukas-Coldplay song-He took a risk w/ the ballad-esque song choice. He nailed it. He'll make the top 3, despite the mongloid look and huge forehead he's got going on...

Toby-Killers song-good voice, good stage presence, but I'm just not picturing him in Supernova. Sorry...

I'm voting for: Patrice, Lukas, Storm and Dilana. Just like last week....maybe I'll throw a bone to Magni as well.

Check out this video of Patrice's version of Joey:

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=915684616&n=2

[gldstwmn]

I loved Dilana tonight. The band is getting a little tougher on the contestants. I thought they were a bit rough on the girls. I liked Zayra's performance too. I'm sure she'll have a career.

[Livia]

I just finished watching the reality footage on rockstar.msn.com.

It's worse than I thought: Zayra had never heard of "You Really Got Me." Ever. During rehearsals, the house band thought she sucked. They don't care much for Chris either.

There's also footage of Jill fawning all over Dilana, "I love the way you perform, it's very inspiring." So inspiring that she stole her act. :rolleyes:

[skcin]

Thanks for the recap, Livia. I'm pissed that I missed it (stupid f*cking Tivo, I can't keep track of what I want to record when & it taped Kathy Griffin....hey wait - was Rockstar on at 8 or 9? Cuz if it was on at 8, something's screwy with my Tivo....)

OK, anyway. I'll have to find vid of Dilana doing Ring of Fire. I adore that song, it inadvertantly became our wedding song (long story...) Do they post the performances on the website? I love that freaky bitch.

Violet - the Hole song? Fantastic song. But Jill - isn't she the tiny blond? Hmmm....

Surrender - the Cheap Trick tune? That's cool, I like Storm.

[JazmenFlowers]

I'm not sure this show will keep my attention. I'm not really finding any of the peeps to keep my interest, except Toby. :rolleyes:

like Curtis said, they are all freaks...like...all of them. it's like Hot Topic exploded.

[Livia]

Paula, it's on at 9 Eastern/8 Central. You can see everyone's performances on rockstar.msn.com. Click "vote," roll your mouse over their faces to get the pop-up menu and then watch. I normally use Mozilla, but Explorer works better for me on that site. They also have the reality clips posted, all the stuff that goes on at the mansion. About 20 minutes worth for each week.

They keep all the performances up throughout the season too.

:wavey:

[golden braid]

I actually liked Dilana this week. Storm, Patrice, Lukas, and Toby also did ok. I still think Dana has a good voice but she's just not a fit for the band. The rest of the group basically suck.

My prediction is that Zayra will go tonight. She was just awful and rude.

[BTFLCHLD]

I missed the first show, but watched last night. From what I heard they all pretty much suck. I will probably continue to watch just for the Dave and Tommy eyecandy. Loved Tommy calling that guy a bitch due to the lack of Mick "moves."

[Rickypt]

I really wanted to enjoy the show this year, but I am finding it almost intolerable.

Last year's gang had character and personality. As did the INXS guys. This year, everyone is cold and plastic.

Dilana was awesome and I would just cancel the season and give her the gig. It's amazing what an influence Stevie continues to have. If there were no Stevie, that performance would have been completely different.

Toby is handsome and talented and makes a good runner-up. Phil would have made a good candidate for the INXS job.

Outside of that, I felt like I was watching karaoke. Were these really the best 15 out of the auditions? :eek:

[skcin]

Dilana was awesome and I would just cancel the season and give her the gig. It's amazing what an influence Stevie continues to have. If there were no Stevie, that performance would have been completely different.



Dude, ITA. Just give it to her - she's talented, she can sing, she's hot & she fits in great with the band. And I was thinking the same thing about her vocal similarity to later Marianne Faithful. :nod: Whoever said that (Livia) is spot on.

[Rickypt]

My prediction is that Zayra will go tonight. She was just awful and rude.

Yes, she was, but I thought the band was rude to her first. They blasted her for supposedly not knowing what they are looking for, but she was right when she said that they haven't said what they want. Instead of trying to do all the canned rocker moves and sounds like 80% of them, she did something different.

[skcin]

OK, I was able to see half of the performances (for some reason it only gave me half of them.) I still like Dilana, but wasn't blown away. It was more the arrangement that I disliked rather than her. Her performance was extremely Stevie-esque, in a good way.

Jill - WTF. Not a good idea to totally copy/imitate the original artist. Love Violt, love Hole, but she wasn't great.

I also caught Patrice & Storm, both pretty good. Zayra sucked. The boys I saw were not very memorable.

[gldstwmn]

Dude, ITA. Just give it to her - she's talented, she can sing, she's hot & she fits in great with the band.

Dilana is awesome but for some reason I think Tommy is leaning towards Lucas.

[Nixxxed]

Has this been mentioned yet? It's a crappy name anyway..

Band Sues CBS Show Over Supernova Name
By SANDY COHEN
AP Entertainment Writer

Jul 11, 9:29 PM EDT

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- What happens when two Supernovas collide? Lawsuit. A Southern California rock band called Supernova has filed a complaint against Mark Burnett's CBS reality show "Rock Star: Supernova," saying it had the name first.

The complaint, filed June 27 in U.S. District Court, claiming unfair competition and trademark infringement, seeks to bar the show and its participants from using the Supernova name. It is also asks for compensatory and punitive damages.

"Our clients believe they have the superior right on the mark Supernova," the band's attorney, John Mizhir, told The Associated Press Tuesday, adding that the band "has a long-standing common-law trademark right to the mark."

The group first performed under the name Supernova in 1991, according to the lawsuit. The band released several singles and three full-length albums under the name, the lawsuit says.

The CBS show using the name first aired July 5. "Rock Star: Supernova" follows 15 contestants who aspire to become the lead singer of Supernova, a new rock band that includes former Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke and former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted. The winner will tour with the band and appear on its album.

According to the lawsuit, representatives for Mark Burnett Productions ("Survivor," "The Apprentice") filed seven U.S. trademark applications for the name Supernova and two for "Rock Star: Supernova."

Gary Hecker, an attorney for Mark Burnett Productions, said the company has the legal right to the name.

"The complaint is without merit," he said.

[wondergirl9847]

I don't really care about this since I won't be going to see this band in concert anyway. LOL Just saw INXS with JD....mmmmm....JD....and they were frickin' amazing!

Is it wrong that I think Phil is hot? Because...if it's wrong...I don't wanna be right. ;) His voice leaves something to be desired though. :shocked:

Dilana will probably win this thing.

[Rickypt]

Is it wrong that I think Phil is hot?

Not wrong at all.

[JazmenFlowers]

Toby is handsome and talented
you got that right!

[Rickypt]

you got that right!

He deserves better than to play in this supernova band, imo. I get the feeling the three guys don't like one another very much and a year from now there will be no supernova.

[JazmenFlowers]

He deserves better than to play in this supernova band, imo
he could always pose for playgirl :shrug:

I'm just sayin' :lol:

[Rickypt]

he could always pose for playgirl :shrug:

I'm just sayin' :lol:

I got no issue with that. :thumbsup:

[Red]

Wooohoooo, douchy "Roxanne" guy is gone!:]

[skcin]

^ Yeah, I wasn't a big fanso I'm not too upset. But Zayra should have been kicked off! To try out for a band & not have any of their albums? Dumbass. Then she pulls out "I was too poor, blah blah blah" for sypathy. Well, have you been poor for the last few weeks? Cuz you should have downloaded some tunes or spent the $15 on one of their Greatest Hits CD. I mean, come on.

And then to sing the SAME song again (and sing it more suckily, I might add?) I'm shocked she's still there. Plus, I think she ripped off Dilana's week 1 performance with all that jumping around. Difference is, Dilana looked like the cool, crazy bitch that she is. Zayra looked like a spaz trying too hard to be someone she's not. I hate her.

Jill is one lucky girl - you had no idea that Coutney Love already did that act 15 years ago? Really? I mean, the imitation was so apparent, and she wasn't singing she was screeching. Her vocal was 1000 times better last night. :nod:

[golden braid]

I totally agree. Zayra is awful and should have left last night. I couldn't believe she didn't have another song to perform other than "You Really Got Me." Chris isn't great either but at least he's made an effort to be better from last week and shouldn't have been voted off just yet.

[Livia]

Buh-bye, Chris. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya...

Zayra-oy. The best of last night was all the shots of her looking at Jill with daggers, since Jill did the same song Zayra did the first night. And kicked her arse too! :) Zayra will go soon...

[skcin]

The best of last night was all the shots of her looking at Jill with daggers, since Jill did the same song Zayra did the first night. And kicked her arse too! :)

Yup. Jill knocked it out of the park, her version was way better than Zayra's. Probably because she can actually sing. :D

[Red]

Yeah, Jill redeemed herself and now I wouldn't mind seeing what she does next. Zayra, however, can suck it. Good point, she coulda bought some best of's over the last couple of weeks and at least had the respect and courtesy to familiarize herself with the music.

[wondergirl9847]

Here is a page for Phil's band, Lennex. He sounds better recorded than he does on Rock Star. He has a unique voice...it's not your usual screamer or growler. I really like the song Don't Give.

http://www.purevolume.com/lennex

The final three will probably be Dilana, Toby and The Hobbit. :laugh:

[Rickypt]

I totally agree. Zayra is awful and should have left last night. I couldn't believe she didn't have another song to perform other than "You Really Got Me." Chris isn't great either but at least he's made an effort to be better from last week and shouldn't have been voted off just yet.

I agree with you. He made an earnest attempt to improve and she disrespected them again by doing the same performance.

Ugh, I don't like the show but I keep watching.

[Livia]

***SPOILERS REGARDING TONIGHT'S SHOW*** Read later if you don't want to know - also, the writer compares Dilana's look to Stevie Nicks and Axl Rose. :p















































It's the 'tude, dude
Hanging with the Rock Star crowd, ANDREW RYAN finds the ability to embrace the lifestyle -- the catfights, the mansion, the chance to break stuff with Tommy Lee -- just as important as the singing talent

ANDREW RYAN

E-mail Andrew Ryan | Read Bio | Latest Columns
PASADENA, CALIF. -- Rock 'n' roll is still a vicious game, except for the wide-eyed hopefuls who luck onto the Rock Star: Supernova fast track. The reality series has condensed the usual years of struggle and dues-paying into loud TV sound bites for convenient viewer consumption. Rock Star is not about the music, it's about rock attitude, and turning total unknowns into TV stars. And the Rock Star machine is even slicker when viewed up close.

Sometimes you have to discover these things for yourself. CBS squired a handful of TV critics to the Rock Star taping last Sunday afternoon. The taping was for the show airing this evening, a performance episode in which all 12 finalists were closely scrutinized by the members of Supernova -- a "supergroup" consisting of heavy-metal icons Tommy Lee, Jason Newstead and Gilby Clarke -- who happen to be seeking a lead singer.

Rock Star: Supernova is the sequel to last summer's semi-hit Rock Star: INXS, which found a singer for the 1980s Australian group. What was once was pop is now metal.

Rock Star is taped at the CBS studios in Hollywood. Tickets are free, and the network can't keep up with requests. There's no confusing the Rock Star followers with those lined up for The Price is Right, which tapes around the corner. The Rock Star fans are younger and most are dressed rock-star chic: jeans and T-shirts on the males; miniskirt, heels and tank tops on the ladies. Some rock traditions remain absolute.

The freezing-cold set is made up to resemble the Mayan Theatre, a legendary Los Angeles rock venue, and the studio audience was already seated when critics arrived. Except for the hundred or so people on the floor surrounding the performance stage, who were receiving instructions from the warm-up host: "The people around the stage should have the most energy of anyone," he told the crowd. "Put your hands on your heads or whatever; it looks good on TV."

The pep talk worked and the audience roared when host Dave Navarro was introduced. They went wilder yet for the arrival of Supernova. Last out was co-host Brooke Burns, who launched right into the show with a clip, taped days earlier, of contestants squabbling over the song selection. Two females fighting over Helter Skelter. Bad blood is thereby established.

And the victor went first. The stringy-haired contestant Patrice took the stage to sing Helter Skelter, delivering the song in short screeching bursts. The camera cut repeatedly to the other female singer, the one who lost the fight. She looked angry.

Navarro told Patrice: "Baby, you sounded killer!" Navarro subsequently referred to the female Rock Star contestants as "sweetheart," "sweetie" and, on a few occasions, "man."

The next singer was an unsure young fellow named Josh, who nonetheless executed a near-letter perfect impression of the late Kurt Cobain on Nirvana's Come As You Are. The judges seemed nonplussed. "Don't forget these guys [Supernova] are going to be playing Wembley Stadium, not a coffee house," Navarro said. Lee chimed in: "I want to see you break ****!"

Rock-star attitude is an obvious asset on Rock Star. The third contestant was a tawny bottle blonde named Storm who struck and held a defiant rock-chick pose throughout her version of The Cars' Just What I Needed. The performance was shambling and off-key, but the judges perked up. Lee suggested Storm show more skin; Storm suggested Lee look her up on the Internet.

During a short break, Rock Star staffers kept the energy level pumped by throwing T-shirts to the audience; the contestants danced, stretched and preened in the contestant box, where they sat for the entire 90-minute taping. The members of Supernova ran outside to smoke cigarettes.

Upon return, the taping resumed with a performance by Toronto-born Lukas Rossi, a slight young man dressed in an all-black Edwardian-style suit replete with wide white tie. Lukas wore ample eyeliner and his spiky hair boasted a skunk-like white streak. Dude certainly looks like a rock star.

The Canadian entrant performed a heavy-metal take on the Rolling Stones' Let's Spend the Night Together, and ran around the stage like a young Mick Jagger throughout the song. It was the most electrified performance of the show, and the Rock Star panel knew it. Navarro told Lukas he was arrogant, which was intended as a compliment. Lee said: "You're raising the bar, and I'm raising the bar stool!" Navarro added a proviso: "Dude, no matter what happens, at the end of this show, you're getting laid."

The second Canadian contestant, Vancouver native Jenny Galt, came out near the end of the program. A tall blonde, she stood directly in the Rock Star spotlight with, an enormous acoustic guitar strapped around her thin frame, and sang the soulful ballad Drive by the group Incubus. It was a credible performance, but Navarro spent most of the appraisal time praising her knee-high white boots.

The closing act was the weird and very popular Dilana, a 34-year-old woman from Houston by way of South Africa. She, too, has the look. Visually, Dilana is a mix of Stevie Nicks and Axl Rose; vocally, she's a Marianne Faithfull impersonator. Dilana sang a revved-up version of Zombie, a former hit for the Cranberries. The audience went berserk; the judges were wowed. Each judge told Dilana she made the song her own, compared with the original vocal by Irish singer Dolores O'Riordan. Filing out of the soundstage, the non-paying crowd looked exactly like any group of people leaving a rock concert: happy, sweaty and a little drained. Those people went home, but the TV critics' field trip included a bus ride to the Rock Star mansion for a post-show party and a taste of that decadent rock lifestyle. Good rockin' tonight.

The show's rules dictate that contestants must reside in the mansion for the 13-week duration. There's more room each week as the singers are knocked off one by one and sent home. The mansion is hidden in a remote location, somewhere up a hillside in West Hollywood, and the ride there took forever. On the way, we discussed the show among ourselves and there was near-unanimous agreement that the final two would be the strange Dilana and the Canadian kid, Lukas. Even the American critics were knocked out by him.

The mansion was, as expected, L.A. huge. I'm not sure where contestants slept, but the place just went on and on. The location doubles as a recording studio, and there was a swimming pool and a performance stage in the living room -- standard rock-star accoutrements. The party seemed to be sponsored by a vodka company, and there were cocktails with tiny glowing light sticks in them. The Rock Star hopefuls wandered in and I immediately sought out the Canadians, as anyone might do in a foreign country. I chatted to both, and they are entirely different rock-and-roll animals.

Jenny has sung in Vancouver rock bands for years, although she was working as a waitress when the call came from Rock Star. She was still shaky from the taping, but very polite and terribly sweet. And she was devastated. She seemed convinced that she had bombed, even though Navarro liked her boots.

"I'm pretty sure I'm going to be in the bottom three," she said, referring to the weekly ejection show, which airs tomorrow night. "I've just got to turn it around and hope for the best. And I should probably lose the guitar; they already know I can play guitar, right?"

The other Canadian, however, was a little more confident. Lukas kept on the eyeliner, smoked cigarettes and displayed a rock-star attitude far beyond his years.

"This is all bells and whistles, baby," he said, gesturing somewhere in the direction of the swimming pool. "All the grandeur of this doesn't really make sense to me. I'd be just as happy in a sleeping bag, living on the street, just as long as I can wake up and get on-stage in front of people, who really appreciate what I'm doing. . . . It's rock and roll, that's the bottom line, baby."

We may have a winner.

BTW - Dave & Carmen are splitting. He'll probably need someone to help him lick his wounds. :cool:

The gossips say he's already found someone. :o I'm sorry for Carmen and Dave. I was pulling for them. They really seemed like they were committed to making it work on their show. Oh well. That's showbiz.

The gossips say he's already found someone. :o

Boy or girl? :cool:

[Livia]

^^^ I know, right? That's exactly why I thought they'd be one of the rock and roll couples who lasted a bit longer. Carmen's bi, and I always thought Dave was too, or at least willing to experiment. They can share!

[gldstwmn]

Boy or girl? :cool:

Girl. I think it was Perez that had a blurb about it yesterday.

A Message From Pamela Anderson
Filed Under: Pamela Anderson
She's confirmed it!

This is the statement Pambo just posted on her website about her upcoming wedding to Kid Rock:

7/18/2006 I'm Getting Remarried!!!
Yes. I'm finally getting remarried...it's been a whirlwind...spontaneous but well thought through. Feels like I've been stuck in a time warp. Not able to let go of MY family picture...it's been sad and lonely and frustrating....I've raised my kids alone in hope of a miracle. Well my miracle came and went. And came back and came back because he knew that I'd wake up one day and realize that I was waiting for nothing. I'm moving on...I feel like I'm finally free....I'm in love. I'm happy....I see the light...sounds dramatic but it's true.....I know some women can relate to this....My children are getting older. They know the truth and they are strong, smart kids. They love their Dad. They love their new Step Dad who they've known for years...time will pass. Wounds will heal. Some people may never grow up. Actions speak louder than words....watch!

[skcin]

Wha-wha-WHAT? When did they get back together? :shrug:

[gldstwmn]

Wha-wha-WHAT? When did they get back together? :shrug:

I don't know. Some pictures of them on a yacht in St. Tropez showed up last week.

She's an idiot. Ladies, do not marry a rock star. It's not rocket science, is it?

[JazmenFlowers]

She's an idiot. Ladies, do not marry a rock star. It's not rocket science, is it?
maybe it's not the rock star quality they have in common? ;)

[skcin]

^ You dirty bird!


Tonight was the best week so far, I thought. I still love & hate the same people, and I still say f*ck everyone else, Dilana's the winner. BUT I do like Storm a lot, Jill & Patrice are good too. Phil, Lukas & Magni were OK this week, but not good enough for me to bother to vote for them. :D

Zayra sucked, I can't believe they liked her this week. She's not that hot, she's awkward on stage & her voice is very screechy. Yuck.

[Livia]

How about Dilana's twirling and tambo playing? I love her!!!

My favorites tonight besides her - Patrice, Storm, Lukas, Magni, and I never thought I'd say this, but Phil was very good!

Jenny needs to go - she took a rock song and made it sound like Hillary Duff pop rock.

I loved Storm's reply to Tommy...

Do you guys watch the reality footage on msn? They had voice lessons, so it was interesting to see how they applied the pointers they got from the voice chick. Or not.

[wondergirl9847]

I want Phil. LOL

[gldstwmn]

I think it's going to be Lukas or Dilana. I loved her tambo/twirling performance. Did anyone think Zayra was good? I thought her performance was pitchy and awful. Way to go with the sheer backlit dress. I can't believe the band like that performance but not last week's. :confused:

I thought Zayra sucked too. She just bugs me so I don't think I'd like her anyway.

I thought Dilana was kinda weird on the first show but now I totally love her. She's different and she really captures my attention unlike everyone else. I think she could be just what the band needs.

I know the band also likes Lukas but I don't like his voice very much. I doesn't sound like he could handle night after night of singing.

He's got to work on his technique. Or the vocal coach is right. He'll lose his voice.

[Rickypt]

Thought the show was much better last night. I enjoyed several of the performances, but standouts were Dilana and Phil. Loved Dilana's tambourine and loved Phil's hotness.

[Lee]

I want Phil. LOL

http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/2913/philro0.jpg

I actually thought he did pretty well last night. I think he might be improving. It was Phil's 28th birthday yesterday. The local rock station that I listen to actually sent a DJ (female) out there to help him celebrate it. Apparently he knows her (Roxy). The DJs that I listen to a 3 p.m. here called Phil one time & chatted with him a few minutes. They don't like the guy (Lukas?) with the weird hair & pink eye shadow. They wanted Phil to punch his lights out. :laugh:

Lee :)

[skcin]

I normally don't like Phil at all. He looks too whiny skinny fem alternative music guy to me. But he did great last night. :thumbsup:

[Livia]

Exactly! But I think he's more of a John Mayer type, posing as an alternative, raaaawk dude. When the band gave him some negative criticism a couple weeks ago, he reacted by pouting! (Dieter voice) Like a liiiitle giiiiirl! I thought, "Eeew!"

[wondergirl9847]

Ya'll don't like Phil? Good...more Phil for meeeee!! :laugh:

Dude has his nips pierced :shocked:, so I don't think he's a whiny-a$$. AND, he plays the trumpet...which is cool and sounds awesome on Lennex's songs.

Lukas makes me wanna hurt people. He's icky and cannot sing.

I hope Phil goes back to Lennex...because I LOOOOVE them! I've not stopped listening to the songs on their site over the past few days. I do want him to be like 3rd so I can hear more from him...and watch him every week. ;) Great, another obsession. :rolleyes: LOL

Dilana has this in the bag, I think. That tambo move...was rad. :nod:

Off to find mp3s of last night!!

[skcin]

Dilana has this in the bag, I think. That tambo move...was rad. :nod:



Dude, it was. :nod: She's so comfortable on stage, and spontaneous. I never would have thought "Hey, tambourine would be awesome on "Zombie!" but it worked. I love her. And that reporter's assessment that she's a cross between Stevie & Axl with the voice of Marianne Faithful - I can't get over it, it's spot on.

[jannieC]

Dilana is the only one that even remotely fits in with this band. She is incredibly talented and seems like an extremely nice and down to earth person as well. I really like her and look forward to what she is going to bring to the world of music.

[skcin]

Bye Jenny. You won't really be missed, but I would have rather seen Zayra go.

[Sorceress]

I'm going to jump on the Dilana/Lukas bandwagon. Except that Dilana's facial piercings freak me out a little--which I guess is a plus for her. :laugh:

[wondergirl9847]

She's getting compared to Stevie (stage clothing and all, twirls, tambo) quite a bit in various articles I've read online. I loved what she did with Ring of Fire and her weird vocal breaks during Zombie were cool too.

OT: I just now found out that my new "boss" (because she's not really a boss, but more of a QCer of my work...she's sort of a boss, but sort of not. LOL) likes Lindsey! I am chatting with her via Yahoo Messenger and I have a Tango pic of him as my profile pic. Told her that I was not pictured in my profile, and it was my favorite singer. I didn't even say his name and she goes "I like him too"

YES!!! I knew I chose the right job! :laugh:

[Rickypt]

Bye Jenny. You won't really be missed, but I would have rather seen Zayra go.

I would have enjoyed seeing Ryan go. He had the nerve to trash Dana when his performances have been little more than so-so karaoke. I'm surprised that Josh was in the bottom 3 instead of Ryan or Zayra.

I keep watching Zombie over and over, what a stunning performance! :nod:

[Livia]

Zayra's voice would work well for Zombie, she sounds like that chick anyway. But she probably would have ruined it w/ her robotic dance moves. I think that's why she didn't bug me as much as usual this week, she didn't move! :laugh:

[jannieC]

Bye Jenny. You won't really be missed, but I would have rather seen Zayra go.
Amen. Zayra is way too big for her britches. The only thing she has going for her is her killer body- I think her vocals suck. And that's (the bod) pretty much a dime a dozen in Hoollywood, or wherever the hell they are.

I'm going to jump on the Dilana/Lukas bandwagon. Except that Dilana's facial piercings freak me out a little--which I guess is a plus for her. :laugh:
Me too, but I'm not a fan of facial piercings anyway.
:shrug:

[Red]

I sit through that damn hour of agony just to see Dilana. Nothing else there.:distress:

[golden braid]

Me too. :nod: I would have loved to have seen Ryan get kicked off after he said that Dana didn't rock hard enough. If Ryan were any good, his comments wouldn't have bothered me so much but he sucks.

[golden braid]

Attention Paula (I'm pretty sure you're a big Cyndi fan):

I just read that Dilana is going to do an acoustic version of "Time After Time. I'm really excited to hear Dilana's version.

That should be interesting. I'm curious to see her take on it.

[Livia]

I watched the reality show last nite: *spoilers*





















During their clinic, they broke off into 3 teams and had to write lyrics and melody to a Supernova song and then perform it in front of the band. Lukas and Jill were being difficult...and then they all had dinner together and drank Jaeger shots. The song selection for tonight - Gilby left them a note saying that whoever picked Brown Sugar got to do it with him - Jill got it. They showed a clip of her rehearsing with Gilby and she wanted to change the key to E. Gilby said something like, "You singers are so difficult, you always want to change the key to suit your voice, but it makes the guitar sound like sh*t."

Some of the other songs: Call Me, another Nirvana song (Dana's doing it), I Alone, that's all I can remember.

[jannieC]

Dilana rules. I love love love her. :nod:

[Livia]

I always take notes during this show, but all I write is their name, the song they did, and then either good, rocked!, meh, or sucked. Tonight I wrote, "LOVE HER!" next to Dilana's name.

Then I draw stars next to who I'm gonna vote for. I was also disappointed w/ Patrice's performance tonight, but I gotta vote for the hometown talent. I'm also voting for Lukas, Dilana, Storm (my favorite performance of hers so far), and Magni.

[gldstwmn]

Dilana rules. I love love love her. :nod:

She is far and away the star of this season's show. I liked Magni tonight too. I couldn't believe Jill was dry humping Gilby on national television. :laugh: Gawd. Storm was good tonight. Loved the crowd surfing. Felt bad for Josh. He got stuck with a song that just wasn't him. Is it me or are they editing Patrice to look like a bitch? Or maybe that's just the way she is? The Australian guy is bland-o.

[gldstwmn]

I was also disappointed w/ Patrice's performance tonight, but I gotta vote for the hometown talent.

I'm getting the feeling that whoever edits the show doesn't like her. Not only did they make her out to be a bitch, IMO but her lighting and camera angles were harsh tonight.

[Livia]

Here's a link to Patrice's latest blog - she does not have a reputation for being a b*tch around here, she's usually pretty nice. I think she overreacted to Dave last night - I was waiting for her to go, "And WHAT band are you in these days?" :lol:

http://rockstar2006patrice.spaces.msn.com/blog/cns!21395E55EDEEFC43!343.entry?txtName=HARDCHERRY&blogcs=end

[skcin]

Dilana blew me away last night, as usual. :nod: How she made an accoustic Time After Time rock, I don't know. But she did. I want her to win so bad.

I threw a vote Storm's way too, she's consistently good. I liked Lukas & Jill too. Not a huge fan of the grinding either, but Gilby overreacted, I thought - she's a hot little blond fronting a rock band dsinging BROWN SUGAR, for God's sake, waht did you expect her to do? :shrug:

Zayra - get the f*ck out. Please & thanks.

The grinding thing wouldn't have bothered me so much if she only did it once - but she kept going back to him and he kept moving away! :p I could understand it being annoying, especially when trying to play an instrument.

Yes, Zayra- get the f*ck out. I hope tonight's her night to go!!

[wondergirl9847]

I wanna hug Phil. He looked so defeated last night. In his blog at the MSN Rockstar site..he says that the show is bugging him because the band is CLEARLY hard rock and yet they are giving them songs like One Headlight and Time After Time (didn't care for Dilana's version...I did like ROF though).

Jason needs to get over the damn wobbling. That's his thing. I like that Tommy said "Don't lose that." Why should he change what he's been doing for many, many years?

I thought Marty did I Alone better last year, but Ryan was okay. Not a fan though.

Josh needs to go...along with Jill, Zayda and Patrice who bores me to tears.

I cannot stand Lukas' voice. There's no way I could listen to him for long. Unless he opens that voice like they want him to...Dilana is gonna win this thing, hands down.

Toby is hot and I like his voice.

Magni is average to me.

Storm...I like her voice at times, but not at others. Wierd.

Dana...didn't see her performance. She's not rock...I don't care what they say.

I voted like a madwoman for Phil last night. I hope he fights for a rockin' song next week if he stays. I hope Josh goes...he's totally wrong.

[gldstwmn]

I cannot stand Lukas' voice. There's no way I could listen to him for long. Unless he opens that voice like they want him to.

Lukas is starting to get repetitive. His vocal range seems pretty limited, too.

[Patti]

The *only* person I like on this show is Dilana. All the rest are pretenders, IMO. I haven't caught the whole series, but she definitely deserves to win.

Zayra, please be gone. I CANNOT stand her.

[Sorceress]

I liked Dana a lot last night, after having really disliked her before. Storm and Dilana's performances were the best by far. My husband couldn't get past Dilana's outfit though--he said she looked like a clown.
Josh could have done much more with his song. He needs to just perform the song he gets to the max rather than complain that the song selections don't have enough soul. Patrice was dull, and I agree that her lighting was really bad. I liked what Dilby said about Jill's grinding--cheap and easy, or something? She did look really cheap. She needs to behave like the leader of the band instead of a drunken groupie.

I think Zayra will definitely go tonight.

[wondergirl9847]

The people who went to the taping came back with information about tonight's show. I hear it will be a DOOZY too. :shocked:

*********SPOILER BELOW*********





























Phil is out.

[Livia]

When your subscribed thread responses get emailed to you, there is no "blocked out" spoiler text. So, thaaaanks! If you do it like I did back on page 6, one would have to scroll down in order to read the spoiler. If using email at the time, one could simply click "delete" and not read it.

But I'm not mad, cuz THAT person getting booted makes me VERY happy!!!

[wondergirl9847]

Sorry about that, Livia!! I didn't know it didn't put the spoiler in the emails. :(

I'll edit my post, but the cats outta the bag for some peeps.

[jannieC]

I felt kind of badly for Phil, but seriously, there is no way he could have fronted that band.

[skcin]

Should have been Zayra. BUT - as soon as Phil replied to their question about his commitment, I knew he had just dug his own grave. He said "I do want to win this contest" or "this show" or something to that effect. He did NOT say "I want to be in this band." Nice going, ass. :rolleyes:

Oh well, I wasn't a huge fan anyway, but I want to strangle Zayra. I cannot believe she's still there. Patrice was 1000 better last night. :nod: Loved her.

[Livia]

Patrice kicked butt! More, please!

Last night I realized something - Phil's "eye thing" - that looking from side to side thing he does - reminds of Susanna Hoffs from the Bangles! :lol: Buh-bye, Phil. Go walk like an Egyptian somewhere...

Zayra is still around for eye candy. She'll go soon...

[jannieC]

Pike's streak
Austin singer's 'Rock Star' hopes are still alive
By Michael Corcoran

AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF
Saturday, July 29, 2006

Patrice Pike was not going to be intimidated by Hollywood hotshot guitarist Dave Navarro.

The Austin singer, who once fronted Sister 7 and currently performs as a solo artist, has been in sink-or-swim meetings with legendary label boss Clive Davis. She's been signed to three major labels in the years since she fronted Dallas funk/jam band Little Sister as a teenager. Where her career is concerned, Pike's not going to back down from someone whose biggest claim to fame is marrying (and recently separating from) Carmen Electra.

"OK, Patrice, I'm not seeing anything different and, frankly, I'm getting a little bored," Navarro told Pike on Tuesday night's episode of "Rock Star: Supernova," which is "American Idol" with a pierced lip. Pike had just performed a version of "Remedy" by the Black Crowes.

"Do you do a lot of things differently when you perform, Dave?" Pike shot back. Ooh, testy. Some in the crowd gasped.

But then Navarro, who's one of the show's executive producers as well as a co-host, put it all into perspective: "The difference is that I already have a job and I'm not auditioning."

The ultimate "singer wanted" classified, "Rock Star: Supernova" is a summer-long CBS reality show out to find a lead singer for a new "supergroup" consisting of drummer Tommy Lee (ex-Mötley Crüe), bassist Jason Newsted (ex-Metallica) and guitarist Gilby Clarke (who was in Guns N' Roses for a minute and a half). Somehow, the 35-year-old Pike — who has toured with touchy feely femme fest Lilith Fair — finds herself in the middle of all this, battling kids named Storm and Magni for the right to sing Tommy Lee songs. But she's not going to apologize for seizing an opportunity.

"I don't think there are too many musicians out there who wouldn't want to perform in front of 5 million people a week on national TV," Pike said after surviving week four's elimination, which aired Wednesday. For the first time, Pike found herself as one of the bottom three vote-getters and thus had to sing for her "Rock Star" life. And did she ever! Pike pulled out a riveting performance of Radiohead's "My Iron Lung" that had Lee exclaiming, "That's what I'm talking about!" In two minutes, Pike went from the bottom to the top.

Still, Pike has virtually no chance of fronting the Supernova band-to-be. She'll ride this rockin' rollercoaster as long as she can, hopefully to the round where the contestants sing their own compositions.

Lukas Rossi, the gaunt, gothy, glitter rocker, seems a shoo-in to be the Scott Weiland vocalist in this Velvet Revolver knock-off. Although a vote by viewers determines the bottom three acts, judges Lee, Newsted and Clarke pick the one that has to leave the show each week, and Rossi should be the last rocker standing. If the band goes the unexpected route, selecting a frontwoman, look for them to tap Houston's Dilana — Stevie Nicks in need of an exorcist — who will least make a female-fronted Supernova sound like Heart.

Tell Pike that she just doesn't fit with this over-the-hill, bad boy rock band and she'll disagree. "I'd love to be in this band," she said. "I've been chilling for two years with my solo stuff. I miss being in a rock band. I'm ready to cut loose."

Expect Supernova to cut Pike loose around Week 8.

And if you think it'll bum her out to read that, don't worry. Pike and her fellow "Rock Star: Supernova" hopefuls are holed up like a deliberating jury, with no phones, no TV, no Internet access and no newspapers. Pike has a list of five people she can call, twice a week, for 15 minutes, on a monitored cell phone. They can't talk about the show or any aspects of the music business. There's no coaching in "Rock Star."

"Don't tell me anything about what's happening on the outside world," Pike prepped a reporter on Monday, interview day, at the converted convent in the Hollywood Hills where the contestants live together. Pike has no idea that "Patrice Watch" parties have become a regular Tuesday night happening in her home town. During a recent lunch hour at Enoteca on South Congress Avenue, strangers at adjoining tables were debating Pike's chances after overhearing a conversation. "Who's the girl who told Tommy to Google her?" asked one diner. Told it was Storm Large, who's got naughty pics on the Internet, the woman said, "I think she'll go all the way. There's chemistry with her and the band." The show's addictive.

"Probably the worst thing about this experience is the isolation," said Pike, who nailed the cattle call tryout in April, then spent a long week auditioning in L.A. before making the on-air cut. She gets paid each week, but business partner Todd Walker declined to say how much. Pike has had to put her solo career on hold, postponing a European tour and pushing back the release date of her new record until "Rock Star" wraps in late September. Or until she's sent home.

"I really want to win this thing, and I think I've got a chance," she said. "I'm just so comfortable onstage. I don't get the jitters."

She's certainly the most experienced rocker in contention, with some of the other contenders often picking her brain for career advice. Just how does it feel to get signed to Arista by record company legend Clive Davis, then watch him get fired a few months later, putting your record in limbo? Pike is one of the few folks who could answer that.

"Everybody gets along so well in the house," she said. "We have a lot of respect for each other, knowing just what we had to do to get here." But what about that Week 3 dustup with Jill Giola, termed a "catfight" by Tommy Lee? "They made a big deal about that on the show, but it was really nothing," Pike said. The cameras caught her and Giola in a heated moment after Pike claimed "Helter Skelter" by the Beatles as her song to perform that night. "It was just a misunderstanding. Jill wanted to do another song anyway." It was all patched up by show time, and Pike and Giola were sitting together holding hands.

There's very little of that kind of behind-the-scenes drama on "Rock Star: Supernova," where almost all the action happens onstage. "When I was deciding whether or not to try out for the show, the thing that convinced me was because the music was the most important element," Pike said. Created by Mark Burnett, who brought us "Survivor" and "The Apprentice," the show is a follow-up to last year's "Rock Star: INXS," which has been credited with re-igniting the Australian group's popularity.

Just as in the inaugural season, when the more charismatic Marty Casey was passed over for J.D. Fortune, who gelled better with the band, the most talented singer won't necessarily be chosen to front Supernova (which might be forced to change its name because it's just been sued by a California band that has had the name since 1989). Pike has the tattoos and the 'tude; she just needs to convince Lee, Newsted and Clarke that she's the singer who can make them matter again.

"I have to challenge myself to pull out that over-the-top stage presence they're looking for," she said.

Six little letters, Ms. Pike, and they're not "Google." Six little letters: Go girl! We'll be watching.

guitarist Gilby Clarke (who was in Guns N' Roses for a minute and a half).

Teehee. :lol:

Great article. I have to disagree on one point, though, I think Dilana would be the expected choice. Or at least she should be, if they want to set themselves apart from other bands.

[Livia]

I love Michael Corcoran's writing. I don't always agree w/ him, but he's a great writer. :thumbsup:

[Rickypt]

I just caught up on Tivo.

This is bullsh*t. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Zayra has been in the bottom three every week (or almost), she has no interest in being in this band, is only trying to get noticed for a solo career, and by the way she totally sucks.

Phil should have gone eventually, but his White Rabbit from last week and the Failure song from this week qualified him to stay longer than Zayra. They only kept her to see what she will (or won't) wear next week.

And maybe next week Tommy Lee will wear some fricking shoes.

I love Phil, he can bring his long wobbly neck and puppy Suzanna Hoffs eyes (spot on, Livia!) over to my place anytime.

And...I'm totally in the Dilana fan club. She can do no wrong and I saw a very softened, pretty look on her face yesterday.

[Rickypt]

Should have been Zayra. BUT - as soon as Phil replied to their question about his commitment, I knew he had just dug his own grave. He said "I do want to win this contest" or "this show" or something to that effect. He did NOT say "I want to be in this band." Nice going, ass. :rolleyes:


I agree it was a dumb thing to say, but I don't think a single contender is doing this because they care about being in this phony pre-fab "band". They didn't even learn until this week what type of the music the "band" wants to play. It's not like INXS, which was an existing band and many of those competing had grown up as fans.

I think the majority are just trying to get noticed for solo careers. A couple, like Dilana and Lukas, might be interested in the whole band thing, but I guarantee you they will go solo just as soon contractually allowed.

[Beachwood Mac]

I've been in and out of town for work the last two months so I'm just catching up reading the Rockstar thread. I don't see it posted but if you go to http://dilanarox.com you can see a video performance of Landslide by Dilana. Click on "clips" at the bottom of the home page and then click on the first photo that appears along the top of the page. Enjoy!

Thanks for the heads up! I enjoyed listening to that. :)

[Lee]

I have to agree with Ryan. I really don't think Phil was interested in being the lead singer; I even read that he still wanted stick with his local band, Lennox. I'm really not sure why he was even there except to maybe get some national exposure for himself & his band.

The only people I think that would fit in with this pre-fab band is Lukas or Dilana. They are weird enough to fit right in with that bunch.

And OMG, grinding, what man wouldn't like a chick to "grind" him unless of course he was gay?

Apparently Dilana must be a Mac fan - she lists Dreams as one of her favorite tunes. I'd love her to do GDW.

[Livia]

Yeah - Jill's got Landslide on her playlist - and Matt has the Dance verson of Big Love on his. :thumbsup:

I'd like to hear Dilana do ANY Stevie song. :nod:

Great, Jill will probably end up doing a Stevie tune. :rolleyes: Actually, she'd probably do OK. But I'd much prefer Dilana or even Storm to do one. Landslide would be an obvious choice, but GDW or Edge would rock. :nod:

I don't think they would deem Chris's songs hard enough(that's not the right word, but I can't think of another right now) to do on the show. LB's stuff? I don't know - it may be too guitar oriented for what they're trying to do.

The Chain would be awesome, done by a guy or chick. IMO.

[Livia]

***Song selection spoilers***




























I just watched the reality show online. No one argued about anything this week re: song selection. Patrice is doing "Higher Ground," w/ Tommy Lee drumming. Storm is doing a stripped down, slow version of "Changes," and is worried it won't rock out enough, but she wants to show her vulnerable side. I saw "Clocks," but I don't know who got it. Zayra is doing "867-5309," and rearranged it in a way that the house band doesn't like (again). Josh is doing that Sublime song, "Santarita?" Something like that. In the confessional video footage, Storm said that people had been fighting and furniture had been broken, but I didn't see any of that and the song selection process was so mellow this week. So, I don't know if some sh*t went down or she was just being facetious.

[JazmenFlowers]

I thought Zayra was really good...and I like Dilana, but the guy that sang at the piano was awesome! I had chills the whole time. I'm late to this show and only haphazardly watch it, but that guy tonight was really, really good.

[golden braid]

Even though I think Zayra is awful and never sings in tune, she cracks me up and is very entertaining. I think that's why the band keeps her around.

Jill bugs the hell out of me and needs to go ASAP. I think she could sing well but she always over does it and just screams.

Dilana was good tonight but it was not my favorite perfomance of hers.

Ryan was really good although he isn't one of my favorites usually.

[Livia]

I pretty much agreed with everything the boys said last night...

I also enjoyed Ryan's performance of Losing My Religion - he should get the encore tonight.

Why is there always a Nirvana song? Nothing against them, it's just getting old...

Jill sucked. Completely.

Storm was my favorite.

I loved Dave's initial reaction to Zayra. :laugh: I hope she goes tonight!

[BTFLCHLD]

video performance of Landslide by Dilana Thanks for posting this link...dilanarox indeed! :nod:

[skcin]

Patrice rocked hard this week. She'll be safe without a doubt. I liked it a lot. Ryan's piano version of "Losing My Religion" was much better that Zayra's butchering of it a few weeks ago. Magni did pretty well this week.
And Storm & Dana were spot on.

Jason doing Santaria sounded like bad karaoke to me. Toby sounded like he had to take a crap. Jill - I like her, she's cute, she can sing. But she oversang & yelled that tune so badly, she very well may go.

Dilana, Dilana, Dilana. Love the bitch, I don't think she can disappoint me. I was finally able to watch that Landslide clip on her site, I loved it. :nod:

Please. In the name of all that's holy. Let them finally kick Zayra's ass out. I literally laughed during her performance. Between her singing accent (which always makes me think of a SNL skit) and her stupid cape & leotard ensemble, I could barely get through it without peeing my pants.

[bikerchic]

I missed last nite's show but I just watched the performances on the website, but it doesn't show you Tommy and the boy's reaction. Who did they really like or hate?

[skcin]

They liked Dilana, Storm, Dana, Ryan, Magni, Patrice.

They didn't like Lukas for the first time, he mostly had his back to the audience, said he was having lyric trouble. They didn't like Jill. I thought they would laugh at Zayra, but they only said they want to keep her to see what's next. Not exactly a compliment, but not that negative either.

[bikerchic]

^^ Thank's babe.

[jannieC]

I thought they would laugh at Zayra, but they only said they want to keep her to see what's next. Not exactly a compliment, but not that negative either.
Wasn't that so surprising? My husband says they're keeping her for her body- but still, she's such a joke and her singing accent is hilarious.

Dilana is perfection. I'm glad they didn't like Lukas and told him so. I think he's a little too arrogant and he always looks so pouty when someone else is performing (and doing a good job). How funny was Tommy's comment to Ryan about him getting laid for that performance. AND how HOT is Tommy? Seriously- I ADORE him. And Gilby.

[bikerchic]

I'm glad they didn't like Lukas and told him so. I think he's a little too arrogant and he always looks so pouty
Although, it worked for JD last season :shrug:

[skcin]

AND how HOT is Tommy? Seriously- I ADORE him.


He's so dirty. A dirty dirty boy. I love him.

When he said "my kids are here with me tonight" all I could think of was "well, yeah, cuz Pam's off banging Kid Rock right now." :laugh:

[jannieC]

Oh that's hilarious. I was thinking almost the same thing. I actually found it somewhat interesting that they (celebs) are somewhat like humans- when one is out of town (Pammy's numerous wedding ceremonies), the other has to keep the kids. Anyway, I thought it was sweet that they are sending Magli's family to see him, but I don't really like Magli, so I kind of wish he would just go home to them instead. :shrug:

[JazmenFlowers]

^^^
y'all can have Tommy if I can have Dave. deal?

I finally figured out who Zayra reminds me of...Bjork...

[Beachwood Mac]

She sang "Can't Get Enough of Your Love" by Bad Company. You can see it at http://rockstar.msn.com

Terry

[bikerchic]

I finally figured out who Zayra reminds me of...Bjork...
More like a cross between Bjork and Celine Dion. :shocked:

[Livia]

Anyone else have a problem w/ the Purple Rain waving from the audience?

[jannieC]

Anyone else have a problem w/ the Purple Rain waving from the audience?
Heh heh.

Can someone here help me figure out what it is about Patrice that bugs me? I know she has a good voice, but there is just something about her that I don't like and I can't place it.

Dana- God, I'm so sick of watching her stare into the camera and sneer. :rolleyes:

[Livia]

Patrice gets a nervous smile thing goin' on - and sometimes when she does it, it conflicts w/ the emotion of the song and the lyrics. That's what bothers me about her.

I can't believe Zayra and Josh were not in the bottom 3.

[gldstwmn]

I can't believe Lukas wasn't in the bottom 3. I don't know what it is about Patrice but she seems to put people off. I really thought Jill would go home tonight. I was really unimpressed with Alone.

[Rickypt]

She sang "Can't Get Enough of Your Love" by Bad Company. You can see it at http://rockstar.msn.com

From Dilana's blog:

-Last night I had a totally unforgettable moment. We had a party at the mansion.What a fun time-- everyone was hammered (except for me- what a fu**ing dork!) but I had to get up at 4:45 AM and wanted to be professional and on top of my game. Anyway, my special moment last night… Terri Nunn, the female singer for the band Berlin was there and asked me to sing a duet with her! OMG! So, I wanted the best possible backing for her and rounded up the BEST to play for us-The Rock Star houseband Pat ‘cos he wasn’t there, so naturally, my good friend Magni stood in for him! We sang “Dreams” by Stevie Nicks and it sounded AWESOME! What a fabulous lady with such love, warmth and passion. What are honor! I can’t wait to hang out with her again. She had real motivating and inspiring words for me as she looked straight into my eyes and into my soul. Wow-is all I can say. Thanx again Terri!
-This week's show was unbelievable! All of us were super good and scary! OMG- the level of professional on this show is growing week by week!

that's pretty freakin' awesome.

I love Terri too.

[skcin]

I won't miss Dana, it was obvious she wasn't going to win. But I thought Josh or Zayra should have been in the bottom 3 & gone. I'm shocked that Patrice almost left.

[Rickypt]

I think they are picking the wrong people to go the past couple of weeks. Dana was improving, which makes for an enjoyable show. Jill has either coasted or gone backwards.

People should not do "Alone". No one can do it like Ann Wilson and even though Jill was technically good, she delivered no soul.

[Rickypt]

it was obvious she wasn't going to win.

Don't you remember from last week,t's not about winning, it's about wanting to be in the band with Tommy Lee, Gilbert Grape, and that other guy. :laugh:

Dave Navarro gives his thoughts on who should go:

Airports... Ughhhh!
6:47am... Sitting in the LA airport, waiting to get on board our flight to Chicago. It's way too early for this kind of thing. Today The Panic Channel has a day full of travel, acoustic radio shows, press and then finally our show this evening at The Hard Rock. We come home tomorrow morning so I can be back in time for Wednesday's elimination taping for Rockstar. After watching all of the performances yesterday, I have to say that I really have no idea who Supernova will be sending home. I'm usually wrong anyway. My best guess would be Jill or Zayra. It'll be interesting to say the least. I'd like to have the guys rip into a double or triple elimination, myself. Jill, Zayra, Josh... Later!!!!!! Thanx for playing. I know it sounds harsh, but, I mean, come on already! Let's get this thing heated up. I'm sure they can all do well on their own, but I just don't see either one of them fronting this band. Josh has a great voice, but not enough edge, Jill seems better suited as a solo artist and Zayra... She is just a total trip unto herself.

[Livia]

^^^ Right on, Dave!

[DavidMn]

Dilana. There is only Dilana. Why talk about anyone else??I havent seen enough of the show. Which one is she again?

[JazmenFlowers]

last night was BORING...at least to me. I actually only liked Lukas' performance and maybe a couple others, but I was daydreaming half of the time.

[bikerchic]

There is a billion songs out there, why do they repeat songs from last season? We are the Champions? I mean, come on. Boring!

[JazmenFlowers]

exactly! and I wasn't really all that impressed with her vocal on that song.

why does Storm remind me of Stockard Channing's Rizzo from Grease? :shrug: :laugh:

[golden braid]

exactly! and I wasn't really all that impressed with her vocal on that song.

why does Storm remind me of Stockard Channing's Rizzo from Grease? :shrug: :laugh:
I think she looks like Stockard too.

I do like Storm a lot but her singing last night was just ok.

Even Dilana didn't wow me last night.

I think Lukas will definitely get the encore tonight. He was good but I still wasn't in awe of his performance.

[gldstwmn]

I think Lukas will definitely get the encore tonight. He was good but I still wasn't in awe of his performance.

It was too short to do the actual song any justice.

[Livia]

I was kinda bored as well. Ryan's entrance was just weird - Zayra was stupid, as usual, even though I loved her top hat and stripper shoes - I'll have to watch Lukas' performance again, I only heard it from another room. I liked Dilana's chemistry with Gilby! However, I can't believe she's never heard that song and had to download an MP3 of it.

I voted for Patrice like 10 times. I also voted for Lukas and Dilana.

[gldstwmn]

I think Zayra is going home tonight.

[skcin]

I think Zayra is going home tonight.


I hope you're right.

[Beachwood Mac]

It was too short to do the actual song any justice.

As is he....:lol: I did like his performance though but I'm not a fan. Too Eddie Munster for me.

Josh looked petrified when Tommy Lee said he was going to join him on his song. He sang scared as well. He could go. I think they will keep Zayra around a little longer just to see what she does. I hate to admit I look forward to it as well.

Jill finally didn't look like she was performing a rock song for her talent portion of the Miss USA pageant.

Dilana fits this band and I only hope the hype doesn't turn fans away from her. With Dilana she commands the stage and the focus will be on her. With Lukas, it's just another band.

Terry

[Rickypt]

The only way I can watch this show is by taping it and zapping through 75%.

Random comments:

Dilana -- the song wasn't great for her, but she still mesmerizes me. I would pay to see her in concert and I plan on following her career. I found it interesting when one of Supernova said something like this is the first week they can see a woman fronting their band. Just shows what a disadvantage women have in this world, they have to perform their asses off for several weeks just to get to the point where men can envision working with a woman.

Lukas -- the first performance I loved by him. Now I get it. Still don't like him as a person, though. I no longer think Dilana has a lock on the win, especially if the guys want to play it safe and go with a guy.

Jill- snooze and will be gone tonight.

Patrice -- I really want to get into her, but just can't. She's talented, but doesn't move me.

Toby -- I'm with Dave on this one, great performance until he brought out the stupid megaphone. Didn't like that trick with JD and didn't like it last night.

Ryan -- Um, Halloween is three months away. I've hated him since he trashed Dana.

Zayra -- she will not go this week. I think the producers have ensured that she stays as along as possible because she is good for ratings.

Storm -- snooze

Josh-- weak

[skcin]

Dilana - not her best performance, but still the best of the bunch. And ita Ryan - this is the first week they thought maybe a chick could front the band? Wow. :shocked:

Lukas- He reminds of of someone, I can't figure out who. It may not be anyone famous, I might be thinking of someone I've met in person. This week was miles better than last week.

Toby - I loved his performance & didn't mind the megaphone at all.

Patrice - I thought she was awesome this week. :shrug:

Zayra - it's so obvious they're keeping her around to see what she'll be wearing. I didn't think it was possible for me to hate All the Young Dudes more than I already did., but after her performance, I do.

The rest - forgettable. Josh & Ryan are interchangable. Jill's annoying me. Storm - get back on the rock songs, babe.

[Beachwood Mac]

Magni is so under the radar he failed to make any of our recaps from last night. He has improved week by week but if we don't remember him I hope he has a fan base deep enough to make it out of the bottom 3. SN seems to like him so they can probably carry him to the finals if they need to.

[bikerchic]

this is the first week they thought maybe a chick could front the band? Wow. :shocked:


Holy f**k, that totally shocked me! What the f**k does that mean? That, maybe, your over inflated ego's could actually handle a woman fronting your band? You dumb f**k.

[Livia]

I think he was saying it to warn the boys - "Don't think these chicks don't matter." :shrug:

[Rickypt]

Magni is so under the radar he failed to make any of our recaps from last night.

Maybe. Why aren't they showing Brooke Burke from the waist down? I guess cause she's preggers. Remember last season, all those full body shots in the mini skirts and high boots. I miss that.

[jannieC]

I can't believe it, but I missed it tonight. I'm so pissed- I thought it started at 9:00, not 8:00. It's ridiculous how mad I am. :o

Anyway, who got the boot from my beloved?

I haven't seen it yet but they did a double elimination tonight according to Supernova message boards. They also did that on last year's Rockstar.

[Sorceress]

I haven't seen it yet but they did a double elimination tonight according to Supernova message boards. They also did that on last year's Rockstar.

Thank goodness. I couldn't stand to look at either of them another week. Bye bye, Josh and Jill.

Ryan totally oversang "Enjoy the Silence." It had the potential to be a great performance. An awesome song that really suited his brooding angst and his voice. I started to like him after "Losing My Religion," but tonight I was disappointed. And his schtick for "Paint it Black" was just weird. What WAS he wearing on his head?

Storm is starting to annoy me too. "Changes" was great, but her weird eyes really bugged me last night. Her vocals were not that great either.

It was too short to do the actual song any justice.


As is he.... I did like his performance though but I'm not a fan. Too Eddie Munster for me.


And finally, YES! Lukas IS Eddie Munster. Brilliant. I wonder if he knows that is the effect he has achieved with all the work he's put into his hair, make-up and clothes? :laugh: I guess I'm prejudiced against short men. :sorry:

I am still loving Dilana. Magni is my second favorite right now. Toby usually bores me, but he was great doing the Talking Heads and he looked quite hot with his jacket and tie, so he's on my A-list too for now.

[skcin]

Not surprised who went. I'd be pissed knowing I wasn't going to Vegas though! :p (Jannie - they guys told them that whoever was left after tonight was going with Supernova to Vegas on a private jet this week.)

Stupid friggin' Zayra. :mad:

Recap from http://rockstar.msn.com/recap/elimination/wk06

Unable to decide on just one of their favorite performances from last night, this week Supernova chose two encores. Lukas' vocally impressive rendition of Radiohead's "Creep" and Magni's emotional version of Live's "The Dolphin's Cry." Lukas further astounded, moving on stage and interacting with fans even more than last night. Magni also captivated, changing up his solo acoustic version by plugging into his electric guitar and rocking with the House Band.

After these crowd pleasing performances, Brooke announced five of the Rockers who were at some point in the bottom three last night. Jill, Josh, Zayra, Ryan and Patrice were called. Dave was not surprised: "There's a lot of similar faces hovering in the bottom three...it's time to crank up the heat next time."

The first Rocker announced was Jill. Belting out the soul classic "Respect," she was hoping to earn just that-- and to save herself, yet again, from elimination.

Up next was Josh. Though his last performance caused Tommy to criticize the Rocker for strapping himself to his guitar and not showing his moves, he nevertheless sang Bad Company's "Shooting Star" with guitar in hand.

Ryan was last. Rocking out Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence," he took on his first elimination performance with gusto. And that gusto saved him.

But Josh and Jill? In a surprise turn, neither were safe. Before Tommy made the cut he announced: "This is going to be a first tonight. It's do or die. It's time to get this thing going...the axe is gonna fall twice." With that, both Jill and Josh were sent home. The exiting Rockers were gracious and confident and in the case of Josh, filled with good humor. Jason echoed a sentiment shared by many when he issued these parting words: "The spirit of each of you is going to be missed."

[Sorceress]

I thought someone said Storm sang "Changes"?:shrug:

She did, last week. This week she sang "We Are the Champions."

[DavidMn]

She did, last week. This week she sang "We Are the Champions."She's not one of my personal favorites, but I've heard worse.

[skcin]

Ready for tonight? :angel:

[ragandbone]

I didn't know anything about this show, but I saw the thread here, and was intrigued, so I looked at the website, and checked out the contestants. "Hey, I used to know a Storm, and there can't be many girls named Storm, right?"
Right. It is the same Storm who was my friend's housemate, back in '92. We had a lot of dinner parties, and she would come storming into the house with wild stories and a lot of energy. I came across a video of hers on public access about 8 years ago, and wasn't surprised to see her fronting a rock band, even though I had never heard her mention singing.
Anyway, this is my long-winded way of saying that I am now interested in this show, and I have gone to the site, and looked at all of the archived performances.

[skcin]

^ That's pretty cool. Storm is second favorite female on the show. But Dilana is my goddess. :angel:

[ragandbone]

^ That's pretty cool. Storm is second favorite female on the show. But Dilana is my goddess. :angel:
Yeah, I am not sure which one I would want to win. I think Dilana has the killer instinct, and I love her look. I wouldn't want to be in a band with her(I think I would want to punch her) but then no one is asking me to. What I remember about Storm besides her intensity, was that she was very bright, very sharp.
I haven't cared much for her song choices on the show, but I went and looked at some of the videos (youtube, of course) of her band in Portland, and those performances really impressed me! I think Dilana will win.

[Rickypt]

Ready for tonight? :angel:

Indeed! I want to see a kick-ass Dilana performance. I haven't liked her song choices since "Time After Time".

[golden braid]

^ That's pretty cool. Storm is second favorite female on the show. But Dilana is my goddess. :angel:

Me too. I love Dilana but Storm's my second favorite. I loved her performance of "Anything, Anything." It was full of energy and intenseness.

[skcin]

Tonight, Dilana sings ....

ACK! :o Post a spoiler alert Terry! Some people don't want to know ahead of time. Great tune for her, I must say.

BTW - I will be Tivoing Rockstar, as Petty live will have my attention tonight. :cool:

I certainly wouldn't have chosen it as a stage name. :shrug: Also, I think it's hilarious that Ryan Starr has the same name as that cheesy girl from American Idol season one.

I didn't think Storm was so bad tonight, btw. Ryan and Dilana were my favorites, with Lukas in third. Toby wasn't great, but I still think he's adorable and I liked his bongos. :D

It seems like Patrice will go tomorrow night.

[JazmenFlowers]

Ryan Ryan Ryan...amazing.

Dilana was ok.

Storm...felt bad for her...she tried, but it just didn't work.

I like Zayda's little number.

the rest were forgettable.

[gldstwmn]

Susan is her first name and Storm is her middle name. Large is her real last name.

That's cool. :thumbsup:

[skcin]

Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana!

:nod: Fabulous. :nod:

I didn't think Storm was bad either - wtf else was she supposed to do with I Will Survive? :shrug:

Lukas rocked, liked Toby too. Magni was very good too. Ryan didn't impress me all that much, to be honest. Zayra wasn't as bad as previous weeks, but I still don't like her. :p Patrice bored me - I think she'll be out.

[Livia]

Favorites - in order:

DILANA!
Lukas - So what if he sat down? So did Gilby!
Toby - My favorite performance of his
Ryan - I still see Jerry Seinfeld. Meh.
Storm - I agree w/ Paula. And it wasn't "that" bad! Sheesh!
Zayra - Nice song - but she's not right for this band
Patrice - Hate to say it, but she was boooooring!

Zayra or Patrice should go tonight.

[BTFLCHLD]

If voters don't send Patrice home they are all deaf. Her performance of the song was painful. Somehow I missed Dilana's performance but I will check the site. What I did like about Storm's performance was the word-exchanges. I do like the remaining men. ;)

[bikerchic]

Dilana has it in the bag. She's got the "different" voice, has the looks, just the right amount of "weirdness" and great stage performance. You know a chick is going to win this with those three horny toads up there. Did anyone else notice she f**ked up the lyrics though?

I did. :wavey:

[Livia]

Yeah, I did notice Dilana's f*ck up. And either the guys let it slide, or they edited it out.

[BTFLCHLD]

What are the chances of Supernova choosing two band members? I like the idea of both Dilana and Lukas fronting the band. :shrug:

[Livia]

I don't know? But your new avatar is gorgeous!! :thumbsup:

[BTFLCHLD]

gorgeous!! :thumbsup: Awww...she sure is! :cool:

I really like Lukas (and he's Canadian) but I just can't get over the Eddie Munster thing and besides two lead singers? we all know what can happen there **coughstevielindseycough**:laugh:

[JazmenFlowers]

I did. :wavey:
me too. but it wasn't very noticeable, she kept right on rocking. she's got talent like dat! :laugh:

Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana Dilana

Dilana

I get the chills also. If she wins, I'm definitely seeing this band in concert.

Ryan -- oversings, in my opinion.

Toby -- goodlooking, nice voice, totally competent, but nothing special

Magni-- see Toby

Lukas -- better than Ryan/Toby/Magni, but he's not Dilana. He will win if the boys chicken out and decide to go with a guy.

Storm -- could have completely rearranged the song and come out okay. She could have a very slowed down and stripped version. She may as well have just packed her luggage.

Patrice -- she's so damn likable, but she bores me. I've finally figured it out, she reminds me of Sheryl Crow-- pretty, talented, always a nice performance, and snooze. :sorry:

Zayra -- great song! And hooray for someone doing something different and singing in Spanish. She is obviously using this experience to get noticed for her own music career and she will succeed.

Tonight's bottom three will be Storm, Patrice, and Zayra.

[ragandbone]

I think Dilana would be the best choice. She just looks like she is in the band, and she is all attitude, which is what you need, and she has the audience. Um, I like how Dilby talked about her lower and upper register. Hah :shocked: you mean her lower register, and her lower-upper register, Dilby? Her growling sort of get son my nerves, and her "come on!" was totally cheezy, and then she did it twice.

Storm sounded like she might vomit in the middle of the song. It was disappointing. It lurched and dragged—such a tired song—it was a bad choice, and she didn't redeem it, she just made it's hackneyed melody ugly. I am not sure how they could compare doing Time After Time to that song, though. Huh? And, what's with announcing Cat's In The Cradle as a rock anthem. They are all high.

Ryan didn't really apprehend the big broad parts of In the Air Tonight, in my opinion: he just sounds like he is shouting.
Now, with that string section there, why didn't they let someone sing a Zeppelin song? it could have been cool.

[Rickypt]

I am not sure how they could compare doing Time After Time to that song, though.

Yeah, that pissed me off. I agree about the "come ons" from Dilana--not the right song for them. Still, I think she's incredible.

[bikerchic]

Now, with that string section there, why didn't they let someone sing a Zeppelin song? it could have been cool.

Or Pink Floyd.

I was really disappointed that Toby didn't do more with Solsbury Hill. It's one of my fav's. It just so happens that my last name is Salisbury, I know, I know, it's not the same spelling, but I like it :D

[bikerchic]

ok. so who's out?

[gldstwmn]

ok. so who's out?

Zayra. I thought it was going to be Patrice but she came to life and sang Celebrity Skin and saved herself.

[bikerchic]

Zayra. I thought it was going to be Patrice but she came to life and sang Celebrity Skin and saved herself.

Thanks. I missed it tonite. I was at a stupid wedding shower and the Rockstar website doesn't say. Zayra, sounds about right.

[gldstwmn]

Thanks. I missed it tonite. I was at a stupid wedding shower and the Rockstar website doesn't say. Zayra, sounds about right.

I liked Z. I thought she brought something different. I realize everybody wasn't into her. Patrice had looked so miserable lately that I thought 'Just let the poor girl go already.' Then watching her tonight I wondered why she doens't perform with that kind of intensity all the time on the show. She kind of reminds me of Sheryl Crow.

Zayra kind of grew on me the past two weeks. She wasn't right for the band, but she was entertaining. Patrice was good tonight with Celebrity Skin, but usually she is boring. She's not right for Supernova either, so maybe they should have kept the one around who is consistently more entertaining?

[gldstwmn]

me too! especially tonight. I really loved her performance tonight...like really.

Razor by Blue October? I think. Or are you talking about Celebrity Skin by Hole? (Patrice's song)

I think the biggest disappointment tonight were the awful lyrics to the Supernova original. I love the backing track (complete with the woohoo's) but those words are way too masculine for a woman to pull off. Ditch the words guys! Lukas's lyrics were way better.

[BTFLCHLD]

OK

supernova - I didn't like the song. I can't put my finger on it but something sounded off. All of it. Dalani fronted well. The special effects ruined it for me. It reminded me of an mtv video and it is a little early on for that. I noticed the addition of some recorded scratches of her voice were interjected. I didn't care for that either. And did it appear to anyone else that some shots were pre or re-recorded? Maybe I am just sleepys. :shrug: 9pm...what a wuss.

ryan - I was surprised he earned the encore. He is the bottom for me of the three guys.

patrice - pulled it out.

magni - I really really love that song. I was confused with his interp of "I shouldn't be here." He seemed confused too. That dude may have an aneurism.

z - that is one scary bitch. she is effing insane. but, gosh, she can be sweet.

note to storm - you remind me of that blonde ditz on american idol. you don't need to "act." Please stop...it is getting to be a bit fake.

:wavey:

I didn't think the new song was anything special. It seemed to have a good beat but I thought the band wanted to have a new, different sound and I wasn't hearing that. I also really hated the dancers. After Gilby talked about how he didn't like Jill bumping and grinding him, the band has girls come on stage and dance. :shrug:

I'm glad Zayra is gone. Patrice should be next although tonight's performance was one of her best.

[Red]

Missed tonight but it doesn't really matter, I still only watch the show for Dilana. Can we just get to the finale already where its just her and Magni squaring off? Will anyone be shocked when, oh, I don't know, Toby gets the boot? Get to it already!

[Beachwood Mac]

I also really hated the dancers. After Gilby talked about how he didn't like Jill bumping and grinding him, the band has girls come on stage and dance. :shrug:


Exactly. I realize it's part of the rock genre, but I couldn't help feeling it would almost be an insult to a female lead singer. It's more suited to those who can't sing or perform and need it as a distraction. Tonight it distracted from Dilana's performance and wasn't needed.

[JazmenFlowers]

Razor by Blue October? I think. Or are you talking about Celebrity Skin by Hole? (Patrice's song)
yeah, the Blue October song. I must get it.

I didn't like Patrice's performance of Celebrity Skin.

[Livia]

Blue October's other big hit is "Hate Me."

Supernova song - definitely had pre-recorded bits to it. I kept looking for the tambourine player. I heard it, but didn't see anyone playing one. :shrug:

Patrice was good, Magni was good and Zayra was good, in her own weird way. I know Gilby is a big Patrice fan (they interviewed him on a local radio station). But as much as I love her own music, I don't think she's right for Supernova. But Dilana is! :nod:

I don't get why the bottom 3 contestants keep picking songs that others have already done? There are SO many songs out there! I wonder if Patrice's ballad was going to be "Joey," by Concrete Blonde? (Dig back thru this thread for the youtube link I posted - she's great on it!).

ITA. The dancers were gross. They're trying to be a modern hard R&R band, but they're singing about chicks? Yeah, that hasn't been done 1000 before. Boring.

You got that right. If they're trying to be a current, cool, rock band, cut the crap. You don't need the bells & whistles, you all did that back in the day (well, except for Jason - Metallica NEVER would have had chicks dancing around on stage with them.)

Oh, and BTFLCHLD - I think something was up with the performance too. It seemed odd, and parts sounded prerecorded to me. :shrug:

[Rickypt]

IAfter Gilby talked about how he didn't like Jill bumping and grinding him, the band has girls come on stage and dance.

Yes, preach it. What a hypocrite. Dilana looked stupid being surrounded by gyrating go-go girls and I think she was embarrassed. The song sucked and did nothing to accentuate her voice. I'm starting to hope she either doesn't win or, if she does win, tells them no thanks.

As for sending Zayra home, once again I scratch my head at their decision-making. They repeat constantly that they want the contestants to shake it up, show something new, etc. Zayra sings an original song -- in Spanish -- and then takes another big risk by singing an unknown song, and goes home. Patrice trots out yet another Hole song (at least it wasn't Nirvana) and Magni does one that Lukas already nailed the week before and they stay. The time to have sent Zayra was when she was rude and made bad song decisions.

This band doesn't have a clue what they want and I think the loss of brain cells is hampering them. :shrug: Never thought I'd say this, but I think Navarro should make the decision.

[Rickypt]

I If they're trying to be a current, cool, rock band

Tommy Lee is permanently stuck in the 80's.

[BTFLCHLD]

Navarro should make the decision. That comment is not sauteed in wrong sauce. ;)

Any one else loving the tommyisms?

[Rickypt]

That comment is not sauteed in wrong sauce. ;)

Any one else loving the tommyisms?

Not really, but the sauteeing in wrong sauce comment was definitely funny.

[skcin]

OH! I forgot to add - I agree that Storm needs to cut the theatrics. Her "WHAT?!?!" paired with the wide-eyed look of fake shock week after week is really starting to piss me off. Plus, she does it for everybody, even if they did suck & deserve to be in the bottom 3. :rolleyes:

[estranged4life]

MTV News (www.mtv.com) has issued the following report from Chris Harris:

The members of Orange County, California, punk trio SUPERNOVA filed for a preliminary injunction Friday (August 11th) in San Diego's U.S. District Court against CBS Broadcasting, Mark Burnett Productions and Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted and Gilby Clarke - the three future members of the band searching for a lead singer on the show Rock Star: SUPERNOVA - which seeks to halt the act from performing or recording under the name "Supernova" if they fail to change or add any words to the moniker.

The filing follows a suit the original Supernova - bassist Art Mitchell, drummer Dave Collins and guitarist Jodey Lawrence - filed against the show's producers in late June, which alleged trademark infringement. That suit seeks a jury trial, as well as the destruction of all "labels, signs, prints, packages, wrappers, containers, advertisements, electronic media and other materials bearing the Supernova mark."

The original Supernova, who first formed in 1989 and have released four studio albums, claim that the suit's defendants intend to illegally use the Supernova name (which they say is taken) and trademark it. The group contacted the show's producers upon learning of the proposed name for the reality-television series, and the two sides have been in negotiations since before the June lawsuit's filing. With those negotiations at a standstill, the band decided to take additional legal action to protect its moniker.

"Our client has taken legal action in order to preserve its rights to the name the band has worked so long and hard to establish," said Supernova's attorney, John Mizhir Jr. "We tried to settle the matter quickly and fairly, but after lengthy negotiations with CBS, Mark Burnett Productions and others, they left us with no options but to seek the preliminary injunction."

The lawsuit claims that Rock Star producers willingly ignored the fact that the Supernova name was and still is in use, and therefore unavailable. The suit also alleges that "individuals within defendants' own organizations informed defendants of plaintiff's rights in the Supernova mark" and that illegal use of the Supernova name will cut into the original Supernova's future income by interfering "with plaintiff's business relationships" or causing them to lose merchandising deals and offers to perform.

A hearing on the matter should be scheduled within the next 28 days; Rock Star: Supernova is scheduled to air through September 27th. If a judge rules in the band's favor, the producers may have to come up with a different name for the show's in-the-making rock outfit.

Calls to CBS for comment had not been returned at press time.

^^The ratings just went through the roof for that show. Perfect timing.

seems kinda 'perfect timing' to me too...But I dont really care that much since Gilby has stated that after the album's release in November there will not be any more activity for Supernova (ie-No tour, no followup allbum) due to the members outside commitments.

Seriously? What the hell is the point of all this then? "YAY! You win! Now sing on the record, play one show with us NYE & buh-bye!" :shrug: That blows. I almost wish Dilana doesn't win now, she's had plenty of exposure & people seem to love her, she may be better off solo.

interview posted on metalsludge.tv a few weeks back, Gilby said he wasnt really interested at first til CBS/Mark Burnett Productions showed him the $$$. He said while he is very good friends with Jason & Tommy, He has prior commitments in Europe and very much doubts that Supernova would continue past the album (Which is nearly completed-Minus the vocals).

One thing I always liked about Gilby, at least he is honest in saying that when the $$$ talked the BS walked.

[gldstwmn]

:lol: We're closet TLee fans. Dave Navarro's book was good and it was arty too. It's still on my bookshelf.

[Rickypt]

She definitely would. I'd like to go to her solo tour, with "Time After Time", "Zombie", "Ring of Fire", "Landslide", "Cats in the Cradle".

[Livia]

I have Dave's book and I haven't read it yet - just flipped thru the pics.

In Zayra''s good-bye speech - she mentioned that nothing like this (meaning the show, I presume) has ever been done before. Uh, hello? INXS? A year ago? Perhaps she meant nothing like this had ever happened to HER before. I dunno, but the way she said it made me think the former, and she's a dumbass.

That clip of Dilana talking to the press just floored me. :shocked: I'm seeing her in an entirely different light right now. Jamie White was a complete cow to Lukas.

[gldstwmn]

I guess they are going on tour after all:

Anyway, great show tonight. I was really impressed with Toby for the first time. Ryan was great too. I've never seen Patrice so happy as when she was singing her own song. I really liked her tonight.

[Beachwood Mac]

Looks like it's Patrice's turn to leave even though I actually enjoyed her performance tonight. Ryan's original was surprisingly good. Storm could fall into the bottom 3 and I think her stock is starting to slip.

Last season at this stage of the show I started believing that JD would win the whole thing even though he wasn't my favorite. I hope Dilana wins but I'm starting to get the sick feeling that it will be Lucas Munster. My favorites never win :shrug: In any case, I hope Dilana does a Divinyls tune before the season ends. That would rock!

[Livia]

I'm surprised that other than the song selection process, they didn't show anything else last nite from the reality show online. Now, I love Dilana, and I think she should win, but she f*cked up royally, imo. They had a press junket at the mansion and one woman in particular was digging for dirt, trying to get each of them to say something negative about the others. Everyone but Dilana was smart enough to realize that they were representing the band, talking to the press, and withheld from saying anything negative or ratting anyone out. Dilana said that she didn't think Toby was there for the right reasons. I think she dissed Lukas as well. Jason was walking around eavesdropping on everyone.

Did y'all notice how Dilana worked her name into her song last night?

I love Patrice, but she's not right for this band. Nor was the song she chose to do last night. She's got more rocking stuff in her catalog, perhaps she wanted to do something new since she's got a solo album coming out soon. ?

I really loved Ryan's song and his performance.

I think the final 3 will be Ryan, Dilana and Lukas. Storm and Toby are not right for this band either. Toby's really starting to bug me, and I hated his arrangement of Layla. Bleech.

PLEASE! No more Nirvana!
