Rock Star: Supernova Results Show 8.16.06
After the mandatory shots from the house last night, Gilby announces that there is lots of talent from the pool, and Supernova has been sitting on their asses too long. They are saying that from here on out, they will play with one of them each week doing an original song. So, Supernova takes the stage for the first week with my girl, Dilana. She, of course, is awesome but what is up with the stripper dancers? Obviously a touch from Tommy.
The encore went tonight to Ryan, with the Phil Collin’s tune. I just don’t see what they like about him and his fake scowl. He’s not that great of a singer, and he’s just weird to watch on stage.
Those who were at one point in the bottom three were Zayra, Patrice, Toby, Magni and Storm. After all the voting is over and the first of the bottom three was Zayra, and she sang first with Blue October’s Razorblade. Ummm. Okay. What can I say? She’s just.very.very.weird. She twitches about oddly, like Celine Dion’s chest pounding multiplied by 100. I just don’t “get” her. I’ve not been a fan of hers from the first show, and I won’t be long after she leaves and grabs her little brass ring with the Latin market. If you knew how much I loathe Celine….then you’d know how much I loathe Zayra.
The next in the bottom three is Patrice. I can’t really be surprised by this, her vocals have been on a fast decline. She’s doing Celebrity Skin by Hole and from the first note out her mouth, she tanks. None of the panel looks too impressed with her performance either. My favorite is the look on Jason’s face. Pensive with a dash of repulsion. She takes a stroll to the panel and starts to squeal and screech the lyrics right in front of them. Things aren’t looking too good for ole’ Patty.
The last one risking the Hatchetman tonight is Magni. He’s not all that great, but bottom three? He pulls of Creep by Radiohead but I hate repeats. And Patrice and Magni both hit repeat tunes tonight. Are there not enough awesome rockin’ songs out there to NOT ride on someone elses? After Lukas doing Creep earlier on, Magni’s is just boring and bland. He doesn’t even ROCK it, he just wanders around and sings poorly. He isn’t even close to intensity as Lukas. And seriously, I’m not just saying that I’ve put Lukas on my “list”. (Damn I love that freak) There’s just nothing special or different about Magni. I’m sure there are hundreds of bar bands with singers just as good as him. The sad little clown sitting on the stage act was so worn.
The panel says that Zayra took a huge risk by doing the original and the Blue October song. They say that the audience keeps putting Patrice in the bottom three and they have to consider that. Of course, they do, who’s going to buy their records if John Q. Public doesn’t like your singer? Magni is sent back, so it’s down to Patty or Z. Honestly, I’d be thrilled if they sent them both packing. It’s time to weed the dead stems. But the Hatchetman lets it fall on Zayra. Finally, after all these weeks of suffering, they’ve decided to shoot the lame dog.
Next week, hopefully it’s all kicked up some, with the addition of the Supernova song. I’ll be here, of course, same place, same time.
