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

[MadCardDisease]

I Oddly I thought all 3 last night were bad, Ryan was yelling not singing and his stage stuff was so contrived it was silly. You could see Jason and Gilby rolling their eyes when he was climbing the speakers, but then they praised him after he was done? Storm that's the one Beatles song I actually like and I thought she butchered it. But then Dilana picks a song that just IMHO has nothing to do with the type of music they want, just didn't get that it was almost as if she wanted to go home but just didn't want to quit?

I liked the music for the Supernova song but I couldn't understand a word Lukas sang, he really does tend to close off his throat when he sings as Jason keeps telling him.

I couldn't agree more. All three sucked. After ryan performed and looked like a fool I told my wife he was gone. Then Storm and Dilana threw up some stinkers also. Really anyone of them could have gone home. Ryan has some talent and really impressed me with his improvement. However there was something about his look that just wasn't right. It kind of looked like he was just raised from the dead.

As for Lucas singing the Supernova song, I said the exact thing to my wife. I couldn't understand a word he said.

I liked Toby's performance. It was much needed as he has sucked the last couple of weeks. I think that Toby is the best fit for this band but he just hasn't been consistant enough.

I also like Magni but I've got a feeling he won't make it for some reason.

My top three are Magni, Dilana, Toby. I still think Dilana wins it because she looks so natural performing up on stage and has such a unique voice. Although the others are closing the gap quickly so she had better watch what she says and does.

I think Toby is the real dark horse though. If he continues to perform like he did this week then I think he has a legit shot at making the band.

My girlfriend pointed out last night that if that's the final 3 we have Supernova, an American "supergroup" choosing among singers from Iceland, Australia, and South Africa.

pretty interesting.

Dilana jumping around after ripping her calf muscle during rehearsal. Good grief. Her original was perfect for her personality.

I've heard Magni sound better. Singing his 2nd song now...

 

[NMCard]

Dilana needs the boot. I think thats an easy choice this week.

I would agree but I hate Storm. She's my pick to go. Can't stand her.

I really don't think storm has done to well these last few weeks. Looks like everyone liked her all right tonight.

Is Dilana a tweeker?

Is Dilana a tweeker?

dunno, but I imagine she's on pain meds with that type of injury. OUCHIE! I've always loved her til the last 2 weeks. Storm was ok this week, but I still can't stand her. She a fake.

I thought for sure Dilana was out can't move around, weak original song. But I thought Storm's original was the single WORST song I've heard on either season I am stunned the guys liked it I'm convinced they're letting the wrong head vote.

I mean the song had what 10 words, how many times can you say what the what? Pretty clearly the 2nd what is supposed to be a profanity but since she can't do that on the show why write a song that has one in the title? Not to mention her Kid Rock impersonation from the outfit right down to the patented jumping 2 foot stomp when the rock kicks in.

I don't know, I still think dilana is going home because you can't be a lead singer if you can't move, but I am amazed at the reaction to Storm's original song I thought it was laughable and they all loved it?

Lukas and Toby were well received by all so my guess is it's Dilana going home unless she really nails it tomorrow night. She just never recovered from ripping the others a couple of weeks ago, and with the injury she's gone. EVen if she'd nailed it they wouldn't pick an injured person who might not be ready by the tour date, but she wasn't good tonight either.

 

[AZ Shocker]

I agree...I think Dilana is in serious danger of getting the axe.

The reason the band liked Storm's performance was because it was so original. She shows a lot of "creativity" up there. Something the band really wants. Not necessarily the "style" Storm presented last night, but at least a "know how" in the creative writing department. With SuperNova supplying the music...they think Storm would be another good creative mind in the band. Plus they might get to see her shower a time or two. lol

Lucas completly blew. People should have thrown stuff on stage. To ruin a classic Bon Jovi song like that was absurd. Nice try poser! lol

Magni = boring. Too bad cuz the guy can flat out sing. Unfortunently he just can't bring enough charisma to front this band. They really wanna like him, but his inaction on stage is severly hurting him.

Winner = Toby.
Out of no where...Toby has really garnered acceptance the last few weeks. Kind of a silent assasin. He can sing well enough...but more importantly his stage persona and charisma is exactly what the band is looking for. Toby is your winner with Storm coming in second.

fyi - Many weeks ago (actually from the start) I had Dilana, Storm and Magni in the final 3. Things have changed. Although those three are still available...I think Toby wins it IMHO.

I can't put my finger on what I don't like about Storm but I really question the word creativity because basically she just mimics other singers, last night being Kid Rock. She's extremely aware of her appeal, she watched Zayra get by for weeks just because Tommy liked to look at her, so she flirts with the band. I think that's probably what I don't like about her but she certainly wouldn't be the first singer to use looks as part of an overall appeal.

Dilana's original song wasn't great, completely agree with Gilby it was too literal too many words to say what she meant. His comment about if you can't bring something to the band why do I want you pretty much dooms her. Like I've been saying for awhile I'm of the opinon that none of these guys were all that involved in songwriting in the past, at least lyrics, which is why so far the Supernova songs have been pretty weak. So I suspect songwriting is going to be a key element in who they pick and that will hurt Dilana if they all felt like Gilby(Tommy said he really liked it).

I didn't like Lukas' song either, but to be honest I thought Toby's song was ridiculous, especially the hook, but the crowd was into it and the band loved it especially the hook so maybe I was just in a bad mood last night. Toby has the same issue for me that Storm does, he knows the women like him so he plays that up, and he seems to just mimic other singers. Before it was Billy Idol, last night in his cover song if you noticed he never actually sang the title of the song, which takes the most vocal range in the song. Everytime he got to that he held the mic up and told the crowd to "sing it." First time I thought ok involving the crowd, but he did it everytime which made me wonder if he just didn't think he could sing "I'm MR Brightside"?

I really didn't like any of them last night that much so I suspect I was just not in a good mood or something because the crowd and the band really seemed to like them.

 

[Russ Smith]

I checked out the MSN site and pretty much everyone there was just trashing Lukas, said he's gotta go tonight. So we'll see, the band seemed to like him but they all had the same impression I did about his Bon Jovi cover "what the what?"

 

[AZ Shocker]

Lucas has been carried by the voting 20-somethings all these weeks. I think the younger generation thinks his "look" is what SuperNova was looking for. My personal opinion is that SuperNova has never intended to pick Lucas, but did NOT want the 20-somethings to stop watching the show...thus keeping him 'til the end.

I figure Dilana goes tonight barring something unexpected. If they go bottom 3 it'll be her for sure, probably Lukas and Magni maybe. So we'll see, she blew it a few weeks ago and never has recovered.

Too bad but I still think she's got enough exposure to get herself a decent deal with a band.

 

[AZ Shocker]

Agreed Russ. It's gonna be either Lucas or Dilana to go tonight. Heck maybe both!

 

[AZ Shocker]

Damn...there goes my sweetie. Bye Storm.

You must be registered for see images

I just knew when she announced her song was gonna be "Wish you Were Here" that she had accepted being axed. Guess she knew it was her time.

 

[jf-08]

Good riddance.

Man, she was annoying.

That was weird too, she didn't have the voice to sing that song IMHO her voice is way too deep it just didn't sound right. Then she's crying, Newsted is crying, and they kick her out.

When Dilana started in on I want you to want me I thought uh oh she's blowing it again she's gone, but she actually made it work. One more week at least.

I wonder what the over/under in months is until Storm is posing in Playboy? She seems to realize she's got a chance right now to capitalize on this show both musically and otherwise.

I really thought Lukas sucked last night, another underwhelming Supernova song(this time by Magni) although once he put the guitar down it got better.

I gotta admit this whole Supernova thing puzzles me. Tommy is still touring with Motley Crue, Jason is apparently part of Voivod(?), Gilby is playing with a few bands and now they are starting a new band is it just for the show or is it actually going to be a band?

We discussed that last night.

My wife said 3 months tops before she signs a deal and then another 3 months for the actual pictoral.

I have also been underwhelmed by SN's songs thus far. I thought they would have more of an edge to them.

 

[mesacardsfan]

Maybe you guys are old or something Lucas' song was good, better than most actually. Yeah he butchered Bon jovi but who on that show could sing bon jovi honestly? Supprised storm went she is better than Dilana who always sounds the same and frankly tired of watching her. Toby or Lucas wins and I said lucas at the beginning I will stick with it. Toby irratated me with not sing the main lyrics too Russ, thought it was cheap for him to keep going to the crowd, cause he couldn't do it!

 

[mesacardsfan]

google storm she has already posed naked pretty much take a look around

 

[MadCardDisease]

Good riddance.

Man, she was annoying.

Not nearly as annoying as Patrice! But yes there was always something about her performaces that wasn't right. I think it was she tried to hard and went over the top several times.

Well I'm 40 but I would say I grew up during the time that GnR, Motley Crue and Metallica went from nobodies to huge bands so if you're younger than 40 I'm probably a lot more familar with them then than you are. Again I keep saying I have no idea what they want to sound like NOW, it's not obvious from the songs we've heard other than that I really don't like them so far.

I think Lukas has a good voice but he does exactly what Newsted has been telling him for weeks, he doesn't open his throat so you can't understand half of his words. He also does that silly Mick Jagger impersonation when he struts around the stage which annoys me as much as Storm's Kid Rock impersonation Tuesday night bugged me. Be yourself, don't mimic other singers.

He certainly could win but at the moment I'm inclined to say Toby and Magni have a better chance than he does. It would appear he's been doing really well in the fans voting since last night was his first time in the bottom 3, but the band makes the final call and so far I don't get the impression they are going to pick him.

 

[mesacardsfan]

Magni is not in the running Russ, although he may very well be the best singer he is not for them. I agree its lucas or toby I am simply stating I stick by my original prediction from the first show. The bands those guys are in were what I grew up to, which is why I am shocked at the garbage music I have heard so far from supernova. I expected much more rock and they seem to be trying like a grunge alternative sound. Not sure if I like them too much yet. Cant compare GnR, Metallica, and the crew to that garbage.I am 30 by the way not too young.

young compared to me, I get called sir now by 20 somethings!



I still think Dilana could be good but I think her meltdown a few weeks ago cost her because if you can't handle the pressure of being on this show how are you going to handle a national tour where you're fronting a band?

Will be interesting, I was reading the MSN site yesterday and like I posted people were just trashing Lucas, they kept saying the only reason he's still there is the fan vote has kept him out of the bottom 3. Well he was there last night and survived so maybe they were wrong?

 

[mesacardsfan]

His original might have been the best of all of them, that alone may be the reason he still there. No one liked JD last season till his original pretty vagas and bam he took off after that, here that song all the time now on tv shows. Not sure why I think Lucas clearly he struggles at some things but as far as a front man for a rock band think he would do just fine. More so than Magni for sure, Toby I think is ok just plays the females in the crowd alot, not sure how strong he is vocally. Guess we will see next week in the finale.
