She has a nice voice.... but it must get annoying to the rockers who get BLASTED by the group for not "rocking out" the crowd or choosing boring songs... then have "everybody hurts" where she sings it like she's on American Idol get all sorts of praise...

Alot of contradiction from the band...

you got a point

IMO is between Lucas and Dilana

as a cranberries fan, i must say that it was strange to hear someone other than delores singing zombie, but i have to say that dilana did the song justice in her own way. i would have really enjoyed hearing her sing the whole song.

again, i hope she gets the encore so i can see her again! she's the one i like the most, by far! great job, i thought.

Hands bound

I am hopelessly addicted to this show.

I like Magni and Toby.

I'm not a fan of the chick singers...most of them belong on American Idol anyway.

I keep wondering if one of them will do a Pearl Jam song...

Yeah the abbreviated versions of the songs arent always the most enjoyable to listen to. But still, another addicting Dilana performance... she has such presence. Really makes the "Drive" girl before her seem even more plain.

Magni did a good version of STP.... starting to not really like Toby.... Storm rocks and looks incredible doing it also. And I think that Phil really improved in my eyes... a bit weird, like Raine from OLP, but with a good voice.

IF they go with a girl, I still think Dilana's uniqueness and presence has her way out in front. Storm might have an outside shot, maybe too clean. For the guys, Lucas obviously fits the mold but his personality might be an issue. I'd say best chances are Lucas..... then Phil, Toby, Magni maybe.

Dana, Ryan, Zayra have no hope in hell. The rest will need to pull a massive rabbit from their hat in the coming weeks to make a bigger impression.

ryan and magni are my favorites so far and i also really liked what phil and lukas did this week....i dont care for many of the woman singers and i cant remember the names of the ones i thought were decent

I thought that Dilana was excellent again tonight. I was browsing the website and you can check out each singers' favorite songs. Pearl Jam was pretty well represented on the lists. Seems like several of them have very good musical taste. I was pleasantly surprised that I wasn't seeing stuff like Nickelback and Bon Jovi on the lists. Check out each singer's list here: http://music.msn.com/themusic/ryan

thanks for posting this adam. interesting to take a look at their lists. PJ is pretty well represented. good to see RAGE on a couple of lists as well...especially dilana's! she also has zombie on there, so it's cool that she got to sing it.

patrice earned a couple of respect points from me for picking neil young's "sugar mountain" sweet, sweet tune...

I was very surprised that he had such good songs on his list. Afterall, he did sing a Creed song, right!

I would replace Ryan on that list with Jill. She's...um...I just don't see it. Plus I kind of like Ryan. He has PJ on his playlist!

Please Kill Me Now: Everybody Hurts
Awful: The Bon Jovi song, All Right Now, Come As You Are
Snore...: Drive, Plush
Meh: Let's Spend The Night Together, Runaway Train, Fortunate Son
Alright...: Helter Skelter, Just What I Needed, White Rabbit
Let's Hear That Again: Zombie

If it wasn't for Dilana, there'd be no reason to watch this. Storm and Lukas do have some personality, but Dilana's pretty much the only one who's got that air of unpredictability. Lithium was ok, Ring Of Fire was brilliant, and Zombie was a class above everyone else. Give her a challenge, I say. Polyphonic Spree's Light And Day or Radiohead's Everything In It's Right Place. Neither would suit the band, but screw them. It'd make great tv.

ryan, previously fronting a band while playing guitar and more recently performing behind a baby grand, is still gettting used to the stage. however, when that time comes, i don't expect him to choreograph his moves like the dilana or skunky either.

I didn't mind the way Come as you are SOUNDED, a bit of a twist... but that guys voice is just uncomfortable. He could have a career creating his own sound, but not fronting a metal band. Plush was done very well I thought.

RUNAWAY TRAIN wow what a bad song for this competition. But what I don't understand is these contestants are given these songs to sing by the show, then the band will trash them for boring songs or choices. Why don't they put up like 30 songs to pick from? I mean, SOMEBODY has to do them.

And yeah the only thing worse than Bon Jovi's Its My Life, was Dana singing it. I actually like Bon Jovi's real version more, and thats saying something.

The only performers I sit up to watch is Lucas, Dilana and maybe Storm, because she plays on her incredible hottness. Many others are good singers/talents, but don't bring anything to the stage that you can't see in a Karaoke bar.

I don't think that time will come.
Ryan's resemblance to David Blaine is apropos as he's gonna make himself disappear from the show shortly.

I am just not sold on Dilana's voice yet. Yeah she can perform and she has the attitude, but her voice just does nothing for me. Lucas is bad ass as is Joy. I think Storm did ok, but you could tell she was being careful with her stage presence and I think held back a bit. She will bounce back strong. I think it'll be Storm and Lucas in the finale....

They sent Jenny home... the right choice. She was too mellow the entire time, and when she did bring out a hard rocker in "Vasoline", her voice just didn't cut it. Dana shocked me and KILLED the Sass Jordan tune (a "greatest hit" in Canada many years ago, but an "underground" song as she called it LOL). The other guy brought out Heart Shaped Box and actually did some yelling to show he can rock out, but I'm not buying it. So he can yell... its obvious his strength is in mellow coffee house versions of songs, not a rock band lead singer. He'll hang around because there are more people that have to go before him.

harrymanback

the sass jordan underground comment was comical ... she wants to be hard but cannot ... everyone has hinted that she does not belong there (from Dilana's comments to tommy lees "born to be mild") but ryan has been the only one to say it. another joke is you can see her holding the rock & roll hand gesture making sure she gets it right.

they are obviously rigging it so dilana sticks around for a bit ... zombie was an obvious fit for her and she is also getting a light show during her performances that the others are not getting.
