I loved Storm tonight, she was by far my favorite. I want to see her do the original again, she should get the encore for that.

I loved Lukas' cover of "Livin' on a Prayer." Wasn't crazy about his original song.

I liked both Magni's and Toby's originals.

Dilana's lost herself, and it's showing in her performances.

Bottom 3:

Dilana
Magni
Toby

Storm was fantastic. Loved the Bowie song with Dave. I think he has a crush on her. And her original was fantastic. I can see her or Toby fronting the band. Lukas is starting to lose me a little bit. He makes the three geezers look old whereas Toby doesn't. Lukas is a cute little imp though. Very endearing. Please let Stormy get to sing with Supernova tomorrow night.

ITA with this. Storm was my favorite, followed closely by Toby and then Lukas. didn't like Magni much at all. Dilana bored me.

Dilana's original song said to me "I know I'm not going to win, but I am who I am, and I'm okay". And it was really boring, as was her uninspired take on the Who song. I'm a little sad today because she really moved me for weeks. I think she's got major personal issues that put her in a self-destructive mode.

I also think she was been set up as the new tension magnet once Zayra was cut. For example, last night, they kept cutting to a shot of her looking bored during her colleagues' performances while everyone else was cheering. I think it was the same shot shown over and over.

Anyway, goodbye Dilana, thank you for the weeks of magic. I will always have my memories of Zombie, Lithium, Ring of Fire, Time After Time, Cats In The Cradle.

The rest: I thought Storm kicked ass. This is the first time I've even enjoyed her at all. Loved Lukas' cover. Loved Toby's original. Magni is just Magni--very talented, pleasant to look at, but a little boring.

I think Storm is the new dark horse, but right now I'd say Toby and Lukas are frontrunners.

^ ITA, Ryan. With pretty much everything you posted. I'm loving Storm & Toby's originals.

Bottom 3:
Dilana
Magni
Lukas

Dilana will probably go. Although I have a feeling the band may let Magni go - mainly due to his family. I don't know if he'll want to leave his baby for that long to tour & I think the band knows it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well, I know some of you might not know the outcome, so I won't say who went and who stayed. I'll just say that I love Dilana!

I don't care about the manufactured 'drama' of the reality show. I'd see her in concert any day. Her voice is amazing. And concerning the 'drama' I think it's kind of funny for Mac fans to not love a good coming undone drama. Real or created. If any group's had it's share of fighting and coming undone.

I'm just sorry I found this topic so late. I think too that they're going for Toby. They've got that ah-oh whatever song he's done. They can use that. And the girls seem to like him. I don't see it, but they do. This is a temporary band. I'd rather see Dilana go off on her own. So, she's not finessed yet at the 'I love you my fans' stuff. Big deal. Just shut up and sing, cause I love it.

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