So I'm calling "BULLSHIT" on the whole fucking thing.
There was a nice little conspiracy theory going around out there that Luk-ASS was hand-picked by Tommy Lee, and that Tommy had ALL the power in this band and Jason and Gilby were just there. And that no doubt about it, Luk-ASS was going to win.
Sure enough, despite the huge surge by Toby and despite the obvious fan-favorite Dilana, look who's standing at the end.
Sadly, I probably would've gone to see a Supernova show with Toby as the fronter. With Lukas? No freaking chance.
I'm actually surprised that they passed on Toby. Australia has a huge potential fan base for record sales and for ticket sales for tours -- and they'd have sold a bunch of records in Australia and sold out an entire tour with Toby as the frontman. Now? No way.
So I think the whole thing was rigged from the beginning, and that's sad. I feel like I wasted my Tuesdays and Wednesdays all summer.
I think it could be a great band..... Tommy has a bit of a mixed bag in the past, but it's reaosanbly unadevturous ballsy rock... so what is there to mess up...
Still a 3 horse race in my opinion, Lukas, Toby and Dilana.(Lukas has already recorded songs with them, but don't tell anyone) Storm is a wildcard, but I think they'll go male but keep Dilana around the longest of the females.
Now for some comments.
Aside from knowing all along that Tommy (he and only he makes the decisions) hired Lukas long before the "show" aired. (This was all about creating a buzz, getting some press for the band, there was no actual competition, the other contestants are getrting paid in Hondas and the exposure and paycheck of being on the show and touring with SN and the House Band)...
1. The way Toby was cut had me rolling on the couch in laughter (while the wife was upset wanting him to win and growing ever more pissed at me each week when after Lukas sang I would say "He already has the job", she believes me now). "Toby, you're great, get better every week, your voice is the only one that cuts through the band and guitars in all ranges" (Toby accepts a congratulatory comment from an audience member, looks like the rooster in the hen house, all proud and then...) "you're the next to go."
Audience stunned (fools).
2. No way Dilana "ripped" a calf muscle a week ago. I meant to comment on this yesterday. She possibly strained a muscle at most. No way in hell she's walking in a week on a torn calf let alone doing what she was doing the past 2 episodes.
3. Lukas will be the best fit for the band if they want something unique, Toby was far too generic voice wise, T-Bone made a good selection last year when he found him at Hooters(Tommy goes for the wings not the waitress outfits, and if you believe that you also believed Toby, Magni, Ryan, Dilana, Kermit Logan or Mr. Storm Large had a shot at this gig) while the Crue was playing in Toronto. He needs only to work on stamina and the band needs to improve the songwriting. He has a unique look and a voice that you'll recognize (love it or hate it). Either way its a short term gig, maybe 2-3 years max, but likely one album, one tour, then back to Voivod, Motley and solo stuff respectively.
4. As for the performances on the show, there are really 2 that stand out for me as far as vocal performance are concerned, Jill doing Evanescence and Patrice when she did Radiohead. Of course we'll never hear the names Jill Gioia or Patrice Pike again, unless Jill does a Penthouse spread.
5. Good call whoever said Ryan would use the title "Dark Horse" for his album (tough to find on 52 pages, but someone said it when he got the boot, credit where credit is due).
6. Next year will again not be Van Halen looking for a new lead singer on "Rockstar", so let me shoot that rumor down now, cause its gonna start up again soon.
Do you think Dilana hated Lukas so bad b/c she knew he was getting the job?
I think everything was staged, including Dilana's "interviews", and her miraculously disappeared injury, for dramatic effect.
What we have all been watching folks is a carefully scripted television program. Notice how shocked the audience was when Toby got booted, but Toby didn't appear surprised at all.
Kind of like when you found out Ozzy's show was scripted and they added sound effect like breaking glass when he threw the ham into the neighbor's yard (Unless the house was 3 feet from the fence, no way Ozzy puts a ham through a window.)

thank you, thank you very much.... :D:D
~~*~~ ...i surfaced and all of my being was enlightend... ~~*~~
They obviously did not go for the best vocalist....someone who actually might sound good on a record...
I honestly thought they would go for Toby....lets face it, the chicks dig him. The chicks would flock to the concerts, followed by the guys, because guys wanna be where the girls are...

Speaking of not being surprised....was it just me or did it look like Lukas showed no excitement/emotion when they announced that he won! He just stood there like someone just said "Welcome to McDonald's can I take your order?"! I don't like to think that things were already planned and set ahead of time, but when I saw that Lukas expressed no sign of surprise that's when I started to doubt things! I know Lukas is NOT one to be all giddy and do cartwheels to good news, but come on...he could have showed a little bit of shock and excitement!

It was old news to him (like 18 months old) and to all the other "Contestants".
Do you really think that the other contestants knew?

How could anyone actually be wanting to play with those hacks?
Supershit is embarrasing for everyone involved.
There was a nice little conspiracy theory going around out there that Luk-ASS was hand-picked by Tommy Lee, and that Tommy had ALL the power in this band and Jason and Gilby were just there. And that no doubt about it, Luk-ASS was going to win.

Sad.
Trying to be acombination of Lisa Loeb (the glasses thing) and Shania Twain it appears.
My thought last night after hearing them perform was "Averagenova" or "Just Okay Nova" or "3 Dads and an Emo Kid"
Yep, i think that was an Oops... Jackasses.
Now for some comments.

You're lucky.
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me
I honestly thought they would go for Toby....lets face it, the chicks dig him. The chicks would flock to the concerts, followed by the guys, because guys wanna be where the girls are...
