I have more than a little ink myself and was a little disappointed with it. Take a look around at all the girls on the show and that's what she comes up with??? Probably will be the only one she ever gets . A "token" tattoo if you ask me.
PJ FANS ROCK!!!
Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back.

And maybe I'm not an expert in the process, but I thought a fresh tattoo was going to not look perfect the first couple of days afterward. Isn't it going to be a little more puffy around the pattern? Maybe even some blood spots from the needle?

Yeah it should have been covered with scabs & stuff right? Though maybe she just got it and it hadn't had time to get scabbed over... plus, hers just had a thin line and didn't cover any thick areas, so maybe there wasn't that much trauma to the skin. It did look a little swollen.
It didn't even look like the straight lines were straight or the circular parts were perfectly circular.
I agree... too many people following the competition are making such a big deal out of voice "range" and stuff. Its not American Idol, trying to find the next Celine.
If someone can get up, belt out rock tunes and entertain, thats what they need. They dont need Taylor Hicks. Many (most) major rock acts arent hugely successful because of their lead singers "range".
People say stuff like "Dilana has no range, she has the smoky, stevie nicks-ish one tone voice".... thats a PROBLEM? lol. I could listen to her rendition of songs for hours before I could listen to Patrice or Jill or Toby or Magni using their generic "range" singing voice. I love PJ partly because I enjoy EV's "sound" and voice. I don't care if he can belt out notes like Celine Dion or Mariah Carey or Boyz 2 Men... I like his sound and the way he delivers his songs. Fuck "range".
I'm not talking about "range" at all. I'm talking about singing styles. Lukas has one from what I've seen(one which is very average imo), which is going to limit what kind of album that they could make.
Maybe its just personal preference, but my two favorite singers ever are Layne Staley and Mike Patton. Layne had a different voice for every album, and Patton could do a bunch of different voices within an album, even within a song.
If a singer doesn't have multiple voices, he has to have a distinctive one or two- bluemonkey's list of bands it worked for all had really good singers with distinctive styles. Lukas has a kind of generic growl that will grow real tiresome real quick.
Dana's tattoo should be puffy, but they were such thin lines that we might just not have been able to see whatever puff was there.
I can't understand how Zayra was not in the bottom three. Even though some of her performances were weird enough to get noticed, her performance Tuesday was utterly awful.
I'm not sold on Lukas. I think he has to do a Marty Casey turnaround and push himself to get rid of the restricting his voice thing if he's really going to go anywhere. Otherwise, he's pretty limited in what he can do.
Jill's annoying. I've been saying it since the very start, I'd love to see her go. She picked a great song last night, but still.

Yeah I'm not referring to anyone here on PJ forums... its more the shows forums that have people complaining about range and stuff...many holdovers from the INXS/JD Fortune show that were more into an INXS style of performer, not a ROCK singer.
I agree on Lucas... while I usually enjoy his stage show and his "growl" singing style at some parts, he will need to show that he has more to his voice in the coming weeks. He is probably the best male option for this band in terms of presence and style, but after 5 weeks he does have to show he won't "growl" his way through every song. If he does that he becomes the front runner again. If thats all he's got, then no way does Jason let it happen.
The growl would wear on me... Dilana's smoky voice doesnt, especially because she has shown she can sing hard rocking tunes, softer songs, and hit higher notes when needed. She has also hardly lost a lyric singing while running/bouncing/headbanging/tamboureening/moving through the crowd etc... And of course her perfomances are often on a different planet from the rest (other than Zayra of course, who is literally on a different planet so thats not really fair).

Yeah, he really hasn't shown more than the growl. If you go back and listen to Ten, Eddie's range was a lot more limited than it is now - in fact he growled and howled a lot more than he sang. I'm not suggesting that Lucas the monkey-faced boy is in Eddie's league or anything. I don't really know what I'm suggesting; I just wanted to point out that Lucas isn't much of a singer and that he has a face like a monkey.
I thought for sure they were gonna give Patrice the ax. But i didnt think Dana was going to go too far either...she's inexperienced. Jill isnt bad when she tones down. She did a great job with that Heart song.
These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

Jill definitely isn't a rock singer though..the fact that the one thing she has done good on was from Heart's pop era drives that point home.
I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.
hey has anyone heard the deal on Rockstar that they are editing out things Dave Navarro is saying to the girls because they are "sexually aggressive" and so that he doesnt get in trouble with his divorce from Carmen Electra because there are "rumors" going around he cheated on her and all the crap....pretty funny

eh...i would have to disagree...Zyra (sp?)is definitely not a rock singer and im surprised she made it this far. She is entertaining..she cracks me up. Although Dilana is my favorite, i really think Jill is talented, she just needs to stop overworking the songs.

I think it was last week, after the whole bump & grind debacle, that Gilby Clarke told Jill that he used to play with Heart and they never relied on that kind of cheap stuff. I thought it was a little interesting that she chose a Heart song a week after that exchange. I guess it paid off for her.

I commented to my wife about that point at the time.
Obvious ass-kiss move.
Hello all! I am new to this thread, so I'm sure everything has already been discussed on here! I LOVE this show so much! I love Dilana and oddly enough I am starting to like Zayida (how ever you spell it)! I like Storm too! I can't stand Ryan! I love Toby!
I heard the same thing about the Dave Navarro edits...he flirted with the female contestants from Rockstar INXS too! I guess it makes average girls like myself feel better about myself when someone cheats on Carmen Electra...hahaha! I mean, you can't get much prettier than her and he cheats on her?

I am always happy to welcome a fellow Zayra fan...
Hahahaha...you're all making me laugh (jdonelson.nyc, CrazyJD and Poncier)! I really hated Zayra the first week or two, but I must confess that I really, really like her now! She has a great voice (even though her words do come out funny like you guys pointed out), she is gorgeous and her body is amazing (watching her on this show makes me get off my bed and do sit ups...haha)! I'd love to look like her! I love her confidence too! I mean, there's no way that she is going to win the whole thing, but I think she'll stick around for a few more weeks to entertain everyone!

I gotta admit, her renditions of "CAR me!" and "I'm not an ADDIT, bay-bee" were pretty off the hook.

run for your life
Dilana just NAILED a Who song with Gilby Clarke on guitar....Ryan wasnt too shabby doing The Stones "Painted Black" either
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...
Wow..I did not think it was that good...
And if Storm keeps it up with the eyes...ugh..it's annoying.
Bring on Magni!
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...
between her eyes and the way she talks and tries to be a porn star i think im going to reach thru the tv and strangle her..lol
ROFL.
I love Queen and I think she sang that great...but I just don't like her personality.
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...
I LOVE David Bowie and this is horrible...
*cries*
And now one of my favorite STP songs is being butchered...*sigh*
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...
