Rockstar: Supernova Dissected
Did I mention how much I love goofy reality shows? Particularly those that deal with talent and the competition involved in that.
So last night I curled up on the couch at some ungodly hour and indulged in a summertime favorite: Rockstar: Supernova.
Who are these people and who’s going to win?
Chris
Has: No chance in hell.
He performed a terrible version of “Roxanne” and made Sting look like the international singing powerhouse he already was. Even the Supernova guys told him he sucked on camera. Man that was painful.
Dana
Has: A shot, but not much.
The girl can sang. There is no doubt that this girl has some incredible pipes. She did a pretty damn good job of Melissa Ethridge’s “I”m the only one” which has been played right the hell out, but the woman hit the huge notes that last year’s women could not. Bravo.
Dilana
Has: …to have some sort of medical problems (and a great raspy voice). And Top 5 potential.
This woman is scary. She brought the intensity to Nirvana’s “Lithium”, but not without freaking everyone out in the process. Really cool performance, but I wish she had gotten rid of the Unibomber look about 2 minutes before she finally did—which was in the final seconds of the performance! Ugh.
Jenny
Has: No chance in hell.
Jewel called, she wants her sexy guitar playing back.
Jill
Has: No chance in hell
The most interesting aspect of this woman is that she’s really, really short.
Another interesting aspect is how badly she made “Another Piece Of My Heart” sound. Damn.
Josh
Has: Top 3 written all over him.
Incredible. The best performance of the night. He rocked the night something fierce with The Black Crows’ “She Talks To Angels.” I was giggling like a schoolgirl during the whole thing. It was just amazing.
See you in the finale, Josh.
Lukas
Has: Winner written all over him.
This is his contest to lose. He kicked all sorts of immortal ass on Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell” (which, if you don’t remember, ‘in the midnight hour, she cried more, more, more’ etc). A definite “bad boy” and a guy who has lived on the street since he was 13…or something.
How do homeless people pay for kick ass hairdos and make-up anyway?
Magni
Has: NO CHANCE EVER. GO HOME.
Good lord, what’s worse is that he was “one of the top 10 most recognizable singers from Iceland”, which is like saying you’re one of the Top 10 Most Recognizable Faces in Arizona. No one cares.
Worse? He butchered The Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction” with some sort of half-screaming mess. Good luck, chump.
Matt
Has: …to have the last name of “Sweet” somewhere. And no chance in hell.
This guy is way too emo for a band whose members feature Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses, and Mettalica.
If they made a doll of this guy, it would come with a tampon, I’m sure of it.
“Now with real vagina action!”
Patrice
Has: Top 5 potential, but not good enough for the finale.
I don’t even remember what this girl sang. I remember she was “into it”, whatever that phrase means, and the band was happy she was so “into it.” She was good, however, I do remember that.
Phil
Has: No chance in hell.
His voice is too squeaky, he has no confidence on stage, and the fact that he supposedly leads a successful band is where I call bullshit.
Ryan Star
Has: No chance (in hell?)
This guy went all emo with some Goo Goo Dolls and while I was impressed initially, as the night wore on I began to see how bad this guy is against his peers.
And man, it must suck to have a last name that is on R off from American Idol obscurity.
Storm Large
Has: Top 5 potential
Storm LARGE baby. And that’s her real name! Seriously!
And that’s about all that’s interesting about her right now! Seriously!
She actually did a good version of The Who’s “Tommy” though.
Toby
Has: Finale written all over him
This guy was really impressive. He’s an aussie, but the boy got a set of lungs on him that proved to everyone that Russell Crowe really is just a bad singer and that the accent has nothing to do with it.
His version of Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” was the second best performance of the night. See you in the final three…
Zayra
Has: No chance in hell.
Go home, little girl, you can’t even sing in key.
So that leaves us with the…
Final Three: Toby, Lukas, and Josh.
Of course we’ll find out how well I did as the months roll on, but I’ve found myself extremely accurate in these sorts of guesses/judgements in the past regarding talent shows. I’m a big fan of this show, and will enjoy watching the losers lose, and my Top 3 kick all sorts of ass.

Josh was GREAT but I think he might be a little to homo for Supernova.
I actually think the scary chick has a chance to pull it off.
After one show, I have to say there was a lot better talent last year.
I have never heard of this show.........what channel does it come on??
Watched last night. Chris and Dilana do nothing for me.
I liked Phil's performance.
Storm Large lives in the same city as I and we all love her. She rocks!
Watching from NZ I have to say I agree with your top pick of Toby, Josh, Dilana, Patrice and Storm. However I can't see Lukas winning even though I'm a Billy Idol fan! My pick is for Dilana to win. She's so awesomely scary that I've watched the tape of her singing about ten times just to see if the 'scary' wears off. Nope, it doesn't. Wow, can she sing.
its all about STORM!
totally diverse and rocks harder than any of the others, dilana is just too metal and one sided,
storm can rock and croon and probably beat
tommy lee in a game of quarters anytime!
besides storm is just getting warmed up!
as for dilana i love the angry rock singer thing as much as the
next guy but it only goes so far ,
to me the thing that was so cool about nirvanas
song lithium is that it was sung by a femmy
skinny peacenick ,
curt was able to mix his emotional turmoil
into a combo of sadness and rage
dilana pretty much just gives you the im a badass
dont fuck with me which only gets you so far,
storms performance however changed moods
and pitches and emotions all effortlessly and with total command of the audience,
dilanas performance while energetic was mostly
monotone with alot of screaming in the middle.

Maybe so,..but did you see the guys from the 'band's' reaction to Dilana??? They loved her. In fact they loved her so much they asked for an encore on the next show. First impressions count heaps.
Storm is the shit ... I'm sure that it doesn't hurt that she's my cousin, lol. Vote for her :-D
