Rockstar: Supernova - Halfway Home

So about six weeks ago I told you my thoughts on the current season of Rockstar: Supernova. And, as usual, I was right...mostly.

However, opinions and thoughts have changed now that I've had many weeks of watching these people perform and watching them screw up royally.

With almost half of them gone, I was curious: How right was I? Let's discuss.

 

Chris

I said he had: No chance in hell.

I was: RIGHT

Chris was cut early because he was damn near insufferable. The problem was his vast ego vs. the talent that couldn't quite back it up. A little humble pie and he could've bought a few weeks. I think it was the "we're the best singers in the world" comment that really sealed it.

Dana

I said she had: A shot, but not much.

I was: RIGHT

Dana basically showed he untrue colors to the band. She's not a rocker, she's never had a tattoo (until she got one the week she was booted) and she couldn't bring the raw, dirty rawk they were looking for. Next!

 

Dilana

I said she had: Top 5 potential.

I was: WRONG

Huh? Of course she has Top 5 potential. What I was wrong about was the fact that she's going to be in the final two.

Can she defeat Lukas or Magni in the finals? I think not.

Jenny

I said she had: No chance in hell.

I was: RIGHT

Yeah...this girl was very painful to watch. I'm glad she left early.

Jill

I said she had: No chance in hell

I was RIGHT

Yup, this woman was nothing short (hah, get it? She's short, it's a short joke...ah, I hate you people) of a greater disappointment as the weeks went on.

She was basically bashed into submission. She was over the top, she wasn't "there vocally", she was too showy, she stood too still...

...poor Jill couldn't win for losing.

Josh

I said he had: Top 3 written all over him.

I was: WRONG

Wow, dead wrong about Josh. You see, I think this guy has a killer rocker deep down inside, and that's what I was going on when I first saw him. "Oh, this is his soft side." But unfortunately, this side killed the rocker with a rusty nail and a little help from Mister Tetanus.

Or he simply never existed to begin with and Josh really is just kinda nerdy.

However, he really did knock "She Talks To Angels" out of the park on the first episode.

Lukas

I said he had: Winner written all over him.

I was: RIGHT

Good ole Lukas doesn't disappoint. While he had a bad week when he tried to tackle Coldplay (Coldplay?!), he's been pretty damn good.

However, he has a problem with lyrics. The problem is forgetting them. Watch closely on Tuesday nights--he usually flubs at least one line.

Magni

I said he had: NO CHANCE EVER. GO HOME.

I was: 100% WRONG

Yowza, the guy who I came down the hardest on (well, that's debatable) has stepped it up week after week. And after this week's awesome performance of Bowie's "Starman" I'm gonna call this one right here: Magni will be in the Top 3 and will lose out to either Dilana or Lukas. Wow has he improved since Week 1.

However, as cool as Magni is, I don't think his charisma is as strong as Dilana's or Lukas'.

Matt

I said he had: No chance in hell.

I was: RIGHT

Poor Matt, all of that vagina maintenance just to see him go home.

Summer's Eve is there for you man, it's there for you.

 

Patrice

I said she had: Top 5 potential, but not good enough for the finale.

I was: WRONG

Unfortunately this girl has gotten progressively worse. While she may actually make the Top 5, it's only because they have to weed out some of the lackluster singers first (Zayra, for example), but she may not even make it that far.

Phil

I said he had: No chance in hell.

I was: RIGHT

Yup, bobble head Phil (I seriously want one) rocked his little Tonic-esque ass off and came up short.

"I don't know if an audience could put up with that for an hour and a half." - Tommy Lee

Dude, I didn't know how you put up with it in two-and-a-half minute chunks.

Ryan Star

I said he had: No chance (in hell?)

I was: WRONG

While I think I blew Ryan off too soon, he still has no chance at winning this thing. He has no chance at final three, but will be let go in the Top 5. He's just okay and he tries so hard to be Super Serious Emo Man that it grates the nerves.

His piano-wielding on Losing My Religion was rockin, though.

Storm Large

I said she had: Top 5 potential

I was: RIGHT

Storm, Storm, Storm. You have such a cool name. And then you went and rocked yourself into Gloria Gaynor with I Will Survive. You're a funny little rocker, you know that?

She will make the Top 5 and promptly be let go. Which goes first, Ryan or Storm, is the only question. I love her as a performer though.

Toby

I said he had: Finale written all over him

I was: WRONG

Toby will not make the finals. He will, however, make the Top 5 where he kicks out Ryan Star for the Male Rocker Who Isn't Quite As Polished As Lukas or Magni.

I thought he was much better than he was after Week #1. I think that while he's a good performer and an 'okay' singer, he doesn't have the chops for the big time.

Zayra

I said she had: No chance in hell.

I was: RIGHT

This girl gets more insufferable each and every time I hear her.

Your original song this week was a moody ballad in Spanish being performed in hopes of fronting an American Rock Band.

It's mind-boggling as to why she's still in the competition. I don't know what sort of masochists are voting for her, but please stop. Kill me now if she doesn't leave tonight.

Conclusions

So that leaves us with the?

Final Three: Dilana, Lukas, Magni

Thank you, you've been a lovely audience.

Can I sleep on your floor tonight
Give me some time to set this right
