Rock Star-Supernova

[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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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."

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?

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. Whoever said that (Livia) is spot on.

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.

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.
