Rock Star Supernova - WTF????

[Debi]

[mtnester]

1. It has actually been a good show so far

some surprising talent and some shit talent.

Dilana - what a hell of a surprise! The band loves her

Lukas - not as good as he thinks - should be very afraid of Dilana

Zayra - gonna be going home tonight methinks

[Debi]

3. Which one is the blond who can play the guitar?

I only saw the first night :shrug:

Is Dilana the freaky one who sang the Nirvana song?

I just can't bring myself to watch the show.....

[blm]

9. I posted the first night that Dilana will be the winner.

I'd normally never expect a female to win under these circumstances, but she far outrocks every guy there.

The producer for Supernova also has major hits with ballsy female artists, like Pink. So now I definitely expect her to win.

[mtnester]

17. Yes, also Linda Perry collaborates with him as well on female artists

Pink is another one that comes to mind who had this formidable collaboration with this producer and Linda Perry (another ballsy, large voiced fabulous singer and songwriter)

She is far and away the best on the stage, and I do not think we have even seen the best of her yet either.

18. She is MESMERIZING

When I heard she was doing "Zombie," I was like... uh-oh. Love the song. Love the otherworldless of the Cranberries singing it... but damn! I couldn't take my eyes off of the girl!

Even if the boys don't want her, she needs to be signed ASAP.

[swag]

2. How is Storm Large doing?

I've never enjoyed seeing her perform, but I'm curious since she's a local.

10. She was hilarious last night...

One of the judges said something like, "I liked your singing, but I just want to see more of you.... like, next time, not so much clothing" or words to that effect. She cast alluring eyes at him and said slowly and seductively, "I just have three letters for you.... Google." Everyone laughed.

[LostinVA]

19. She was.... errrr.... fondling the mic stand, too

A very good singer and performer, although I like Patrice and Dalina (sic) better.

4. Rabrrrrrr's ultimate Supernove thread:

5. Thank you Rabrrrrrr!

Man, I knew I was watching shit, who are the idiots that VOTE for this crap?

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. You're welcome! That show makes American Idol look like the fuckin'

Kennedy Center Honors.

[hfojvt]

15. worst is that the same crap appears to be on all 4 channels

some reality/contest crap on CBS, Fox, ABC and NBC. Nothing like having choices.

[LostinVA]

6. I really like Patrice Pike -- she has some CDs on Amazon

Dalania (sic?) is very good, too, although not my cup of tea.

I think the girls overall are better than the guys (except for that little freak with the long black hair, whom I think Tommy Lee wants to boink).

[Swede]

8. It's an interesting process.

It worked out for INXS,so who knows? Some supergroups work out.........others don't.

[begin_within]

11. Where else are you going to hear "Helter Skelter" and "White Rabbit" on

prime-time, network television? At least they are digging up some great songs to do, even if the whole show is a little silly, they have a great soundtrack. I think it's a lot better than most of the stuff on TV this summer.

[Swede]

12. I havn't seen this much rock on primetime tv in a long time.

I wonder what the ratings are like?

[begin_within]

13. So far it's struggling.

[graywarrior]

14. I don't have cable tv this week. Which one did Walk the Line

last week. I like her.

[LostinVA]

20. Dalina (sic)

[blm]

25. Ring of Fire - it was completely hypnotic, and completely unexpected

the way she turned it out.

[xchrom]

16. train wrecks have been less horrifying.

not a rocker in the group.

[LostinVA]

21. Oh, totally disagree -- they are several very good rockers

Mainly female. And, one or two good punks.

[xchrom]

22. i've seen people sounding like other original rockers.

i haven't seen any of these people own the songs they sing.

were i tommy lee and crew -- i wouldn't want a copy{and a mediocre one at that} of a singer -- i would want originality.

i love it when people sing covers -- but i want to see people do covers in their very own way and voice.

[LostinVA]

23. We'll have to agree to disagree here

Because I think several of them have been standouts for (as Simon Cowell says) making the song their own.

[blm]

26. I'd say catch Dilana's interpretation of Ring of Fire - it was incredibly

respectful while still being an original interpretation.

[xchrom]

27. well, i'm glad you liked it.

[blm]

28. I really did - and I normally dislike covers.

I think the last cover I even got a kick out of was Joan Jett doing Bits and Pieces. ;))))

[xchrom]

29. i think covers show the real talent of a singer.

there's something to compare it to -- and -- i must add -- provided it is a song worth covering.

some songs stand up to the test of time -- most do not.
covering them doesn't rescue them.

which is not a comment on ring of fire as a song.

[blm]

30. Mr blm's fav bands are Minutemen and Archers of Loaf, but Ring of Fire

is probably his alltime favorite song. I think he's hoping Calexico will put it on an album.

[xchrom]

31. lol -- that could be good.

[LostinVA]

32. I did too

[graywarrior]

24. Who got voted off last night?

[LostinVA]

33. *Spoiler*

Jenny

[graywarrior]

34. Thanks.

I'm rooting for Lucas. He's totally weird.

[LostinVA]

35. I'm rooting for the freaky but good Dilana and Patrice n/t
