i'm still reeling... i am numb... i've been had. but i'm one up on them. they didn't get one cent from me.who else is dismayed that the gossip had proven to be true?
against all odds and beyond logic, that effing band of has-beens (who now can't even use the term supernova because of a court order) chose the one person i was not convinced is the right choice. this was a setup. magni, toby, and dilana were not even in the running.
so good luck to you, gargamel... er, lukas. you're gonna need it. and to tommy, gilby and jason... don't hold your breath. you've had 11 weeks of us hanging on every word you say and every move you make (geez i resorted to parroting the police!). you are not gonna take any more of my time. now toby is another matter. meet my new favorite band, juke kartel !
and now, back to regular posting.
in honor of the rock star finale this week, here's my least favorite performances from this season. in some cases, they just plain suck.
disclaimer: i did not see the first five weeks so i probably missed out on a lot of mind-numbing performances. thank god.
jill gioia: respect (aretha franklin). were you even thinking straight, jill? you are not a rock chick, and you can't pull off a rock version of a song that is screaming soul train. no way.
patrice pike: celebrity skin (hole). probably thought she is true-blue rocker just because she nailed my iron lung. not by a long shot, baby.
chris pierson: roxanne (the police). dilana had good reason to perform this song on the finale; she has to avenge sting's musical genius. and when i saw the clip from the earlier weeks, that practice session at the mansion is enough to judge. A-W-F-U-L.
ryan star: baba o'riley (the who). man, that was sooo painful to watch. i'm not gonna say anything more about the climbing up the amps, running around like there was no tomorrow, and opening that champagne bottle. those were the least of his problems.
dilana robichaux: psycho killer (talking heads). dilana is a very good performer, if she's prepared. lucky for her, they'd rather give ryan the boot that week, otherwise she'd have been in big trouble.
lukas rossi: all these things that i've done. besides the awful voice and the horrible stage moves, he does not do good on the killers. leave it for toby, dude.
magni asgeirsson: starman (david bowie). in all honesty, i can't find one performance that i hated. it's just this one highlights how much his performance improves when a song really suits him. this one, it's like he hardly moves at all.
toby rand: runaway train (soul asylum). boring as hell. this isn't you... wrong song choice, brother.
storm large: i will survive (gloria gaynor). her gamble did not pay off. and she got completely trashed by dave. that's gotta suck, right? then they all tried to bring it around the next night, giving her props and allowing her to defend her performance. evs. btw, it was a toss-up between this song and bring me to life, but toby was in that song so here it is.
ooops, i forgot z! to be honest, i am not impressed with her singing style, though i loved not an addict. however, i didn't see enough performances to judge, not even on the episodes i actually watched (must've been on bathroom break). i might put in razorblade (blue october) just for the sake of having her on the list... but i love the dress she wore that night. if you're gonna get booted out, might as well look your best.
ok, so i'll be posting a follow-up to my favorites list sometime in the future. i'm just not in the mood for it right now. you can see why.
song of the week: toby rand, somebody told me (from rock star: supernova finale)
gadawful song of the week: lukas rossi, bittersweet symphony (from rock star: supernova finale)

Am not really a big fan of rockstar supernova (the only reason i watch it, is to get a glimpse of brooke burke, hehe) but i did watch a couple of episodes. but even then, i was not hooked-in because you know, it's actually a no-brainer that dilana is the best in the bunch. she's the most talented and she has charisma. but i really doubt it that tommy would get a female lead. i thought no way tommy would let that happen. so even then, i already lost interest. and in the end, rossi? give me a break. my take on it all? supernova crashed even before it left the ground.
