Rock Star 2: Supernova (Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted, and Gilby Clarke)

[Russ Smith]

Much better performances all around last night. I think the field is sort of separating itself into legit contenders( Dilana, Lucas, Toby, maybe Magni they seem to like him) and women Tommy Lee wants to nail(Storm, Jenny, Jill, Dana ok all of them). I don't think Phil or Ryan have a prayer and I don't think Josh is the right type of singer, think he's in the wrong genre.

Again really love Dilana if she doesn't win this contest I think someone will still sign her or she'll do what Marty Casey did and get a contract with her existing band(assuming she's in one.)

FYI Storm wasn't lying she does have a website but it sucks, most of the links don't work, you get 2 links that try to sell you merchandise, and a link to a discussion site I don't want to read. Her band is apparently Storm Large and the Balls. I actually like her singing too I just think she's not on the same level as Dilana.

 

[AZ Shocker]

Yeah I gotta agree with Russ here. Dilana is tight! She is my favorite right now along with Storm.

7/19/06 - weeding out the obvious. Bye-bye Miss Jenny.
p.s. I still can't believe Zayra is still there. She should've been the first one out 2 weeks ago.

 

[jf-08]

I think Zayra is a ******.

 

[Russ Smith]

I think Zayra is a ******.

I loved Dilana's comment to the one woman she's coaching "you need to open your legs more."

I'm still waiting for someone on this show to file a sexual harassment suit I bet they made them sign some contract that won't let them. Last night Tommy said something like "I hate when it gets soft, I want to see it get hard, make it hard" to a female singer who had this look on her face like is he really saying this.

Of course this is a man who ruined a marriage to Heather Locklear because he visited a porn movie set with his good buddy Ron Jeremy and slept with one of the actresses on set apparently not realizing it would get back to Heather.

 

[AZ Shocker]

Still digging Dilana. And Storm...my goodness, I wanna play football with her. Tackle!

Good performances:
Dilana (just a real pro)
Strom (love her)
Jill (she sings well and is just so damn cute)
Ryan (actually sang really well)
Magni (I actually liked how he did the Bowie cover)

Bad:
Everybody else.
Lukas blows (tool).
The aussie guy Toby is just okay in my opinion.

Also...way too much Nirvana being covered. The producers need to open up the check book and get some new songs added to the show.

 

[MadCardDisease]

I really thought that Zayra was going to go but I'm glad Phil got the boot. There was something about Phil that just made me cring everytime he performed.

I'm not a big fan of Lucas but I thought he had the best performace this week.

I thought that Dilana's performance of "Time after Time" was weak. I was expecting her to perform it with a little more edge than she did.

Storm is way over the top but I do enjoy looking at her.

 

[Russ Smith]

If I had to guess it would be Jill going home tonight. Zayra was pretty bad again but it's pretty clear the guys in the band just like to watch her bend over when she sings, Gilby Clarke all but said so when he said we just like to watch you.

I was really puzzled with the last performance by Lukas, he was completely drowned out by the band you couldn't hear his vocals at all. You could see Jason newsted sitting there looking puzzled and talking to Tommy, yet the song ends, and Newsted didn't say a thing? Very weird.

I still think it's Dilana's contest to lose, she's IMHO easily the best one there.

The REM performance was amazing.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

^^^^ Actually watched it last night, Ryan was the only one that had a decent performance.

 

[Russ Smith]

The REM performance was amazing.

Never did like REM but I must have missed that one last night, who did REM?

I missed the younger girl it must have been her?

Ryan on Piano.

Nope, it was Ryan, and he did Losing My Religion. It was a great performance. Tommy and Dave stated that they thought that it was the best performance of the competition.

This was the first night that I had watched any of this, so I cannot compare.

 

[jf-08]

Ryan killed that song.

It was the best song of the entire competition so far. Absolutley terrific.

Lukas looked like he was doped up or something. He has been a good performer, but he is quickly getting boring for me. He is not dynamic enough.

Dilana was real good again tonight on her song.

Jill was just terrible. She needs to go, big boobs and all.

I agree but I wonder if they're not just keeping the girls they like to look at as long as possible? They keep telling Jill to sing the song not scream it, she's just not listening.

I guess I missed Ryan too, I didn't see a piano performance.

 

[AZ Shocker]

Jill just does NOT get it. She is "overthinking" everything. She does have a good voice when she sings in her range, but when she tries to go a little harder she totally loses her tone.

Patrice who wowed everyone last week with "Ironlung" by Radiohead tore her ligament while wrestling with Storm at the mansion. Seriously. She rocked with Tommy last night on drums, but wasn't able to really get after it on stage with the bum knee. She came out of nowhere last week, and I think she still is a player. For a while longer at least...

Ryan (whom I've not really cared for thus far) was very good. You could tell he had a very good voice in previous peformances, but lacked stage persona. Last night singing REM on the piano totally got him noticed, and if he can get more comfortable up there...he might find himself gutting it out in the final couple weeks of this show.

Zarya is growing on me, but only because she's persistent and is so out there (different). Obviously she's not right for the band, and I really don't care for her singing...but you gotta hand it to her. I even almost blushed last night. Very ummm..."exotic".

Dana is super sweet, but just too young for these guys.

Toby is just okay.

Josh is a great singer, probably the best male vocals next to Ryan, but this is not a band he should be fronting. He even knows that. Good kid, great attitude!

Lucus is just terrible. I'm not sure why everyone was so high on him in earlier episodes. I think he actually sucks. Not just because of last night, but previous shows as well.

Magni is the best male frontman for this band hands down.

Dilana was still good. Same for Storm. Those two have it all. Different looks but undoubtedly solid rock singers that could absolutely front this band.

Look for Ryan to get the encore tonight and probably Jill to get axed.

My final three are still Storm, Dilana and Magni.
Sleepers are now Ryan and maybe Patrice if she can pull another "Iron Lung" performance out in coming weeks.

Does this show kick American Idol's ass or what! I never watch reality shows, but with a live band in the background, and people vying for a lead singer role in an already existing rock band that is watching and critiquing all the players on the spot...us fans of rock music are entertained.

Mainly because the band seemed to really like him the first 2 weeks. He's definitely slumped since then.

Ryan's version of REM.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Patrice needs to go. She has no stage presence. Looks like a stiff up there. It's almost uncomfortable to watch. torn ligament or not I just don't think she's got the IT factor.

Jill also looked out of place last night. Sounded like she was screaming the song instead of singing it.

Zarya, while she doesn't have a good voice and will never make the band, at least makes things entertaining.

I really like Dana. She is cute as hell and has an awesome voice but ultimately she doesn't fit the band. I must admit she is slowly learning to become a rocker and says she is going to get a tatoo this week. It's been interesting to watch her change throughout this process. However I just don't think she can change fast enough to compete with Dilana.

Dilana definitly fits this band. She had an amazing unique voice and has the stage presence to back it up. She makes it to the final 2 if she continues to perform like she did last night.

Ryan surprised me. I didn't think he had much talent and then he blew me away singing REM and playing the Piano solo. Can he do it again? That is the question. I just don't think he has the charisma to lead a band.

Magni also looked solid last night. I think it will come down to Dilana and him in the finals.

Storm changed it up which is good. I think she can be way over the top and this week she proved she can sing.

I think Lucas really sucked it up for the first time. Didn't like Toby much this week either. Josh is Clay Aiken and doesn't fit this group at all.

 

[jf-08]

I can't stand Patrice.

She is vanilla and always has that stupid Sheryl Crow wanna-be smile on her face. She has no stage presence and gets totally swallowed up by the music.

Boot her after Jill.

 

[jf-08]

Here is Lukas' from last night.

I couldn't agree more about Patrice. I'd boot her before Jill. At least Jill is somewhat pleasent to look at.

 

[Russ Smith]

Can't complain about the choice of Dana she was going eventually she's clearly not able to front a band.

I was actually quite impressed with Jill, right up until the end of the song (Alone by Heart) she sang, then she started screaming and I thought she might get the boot anyways.

Got to see Ryan's performance as the encore, agree really good.

I think next week with them writing lyrics and melody for a Supernova song will be telling, we'll finally get an idea what sort of band they intend on being. I don't know about others but I'm having a really hard time picturing the 3 of them together in a band to begin with, let alone with a singer from a reality show.

But I love the show because unlike Idol, they're actually singing songs I like.

 

[MadCardDisease]

I'm a little bummed. I know that Dana doesn't fit but I thought she was better than at least 3 other people who are still left.

Plus I just really can't stand Patrice. Hello guys, there is a reason she has been in the bottom three the last two weeks.

I thought that Jill kicked ass last night and deserved to live another day.

 

[mesacardsfan]

Dana should have stayed and the stupid Zieta girl should be gone I mean seriously she can't sing? They just keeping her for when a tuff decision has to be made shes an easy out haha.

Excited for tonights show should be very interesting think this one will go along way for who's going to win. Top 3 for me still Lucas, Storm, Dilana and I would be surprised to see a woman win honestly.
