    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.

    I disagree completely. For one, in the "reality" part of the show, the singers are shown talking about Zombie saying "do you want Zombie?" and someone is quick to say "nah I dont want Zombie"... obviously it could have been taken. Seemed like a great song for some of these rockers to really show off their ability to rock out.

    Also, they all get lights and effects, and as you've seen in the rehearsals the singers can have the band play any tune a certain way.

    Imagine Jenny or Josh or Ryan doing "ring of fire"... NEVER would they have altered it that way. Even more obvious as Josh has done with 2 Nirvana songs, imagine if he had got "Lithium" to start. He would have done it exactly the way he did "Come as you are", no doubt about it. But Dilana got it, and made it a memorable performance holding her stance through the heavy rock, wearing a hood and peering around the crowd in a creepy way. Do you think Dilana would have sung "Drive" by Incubus anything like Jenny did? (which was like the original).

    Dilana isnt being given a free pass whatsoever, she is creating the lasting effect herself. I doubt even her biggest critics (i.e. fans of the other singers ;) ) fast forward through her performances or even look away...

    Yeah, I don't think Dilana needs any "rigging." I mean, I am not a huge fan of hers but she is definitely holding her own.

    As for Jenny being eliminated, eh...I think it was clear between her performance and Dana's that Dana's voice is just stronger. I think if they'd had any excuse to get rid of Dana instead they would have, but based on the performances they really didn't. And Josh, well, he's clearly not right for them but you can tell they like him (as does the audience) so he was not going to be the one to go, not last night anyway.

    Oh, and one more thing. I still don't understand why the band likes Jill. They actually cited her as one of the three best performances from the night before. I really don't get it, she is not their style.

    This show is better than last years, only because they formed a band for this one. atleast the singer wont be compared to the last and first singer in the band. kind of like the Van Halen issue (i heard that van halen got offered to do the show too)

    anyways, i have more respect for the people on this show than the last.

    The African chick annoys me, not sure what it is, but i see her as a one trick pony, i find its the same vocal style all the time.

    She comes across all twisted and strange but goes back instantly girly a few times, it annoys me lol.

    Top three will be Toby, Lukis and Dilana everyone knows that, but she wont win, i cant see a chick leading a band like that

    i hope the fucking spanish bitch goes this week!

    I see some people saying her sound/voice doesn't change, "one trick pony" as you say lol.... but what other performers have been changing the way they sound? With pretty much everybody, I can picture them performing any song the same way, with the same sound, maybe more yelling. Dilana has gone from psycho LITHIUM to soothing, sexy RING OF FIRE and back to ZOMBIE. I like that she seems like a genuine, caring well-travelled pro off stage, but thrives on stage. Very intriguing person. I can see myself at a concert getting pumped as she comes out to perform...moreso than seeing a Magni or Josh or JD Fortune....

    But yeah, if not for the need for TV episodes, Supernova could send 80% of them home now.

    have to agree crazjd. well said.

    i've heard ring of fire a million times, but i have never heard anyone do a version like that. also, zombie is a difficult song to sing, and dilana pulled it off better than i would have thought anyone could.

    Lucas obviously fits the mold but his personality might be an issue.

    Gilby -- worked with Axl Rose.
    Tommy -- worked with Vince Neil.
    Jason -- worked with James Hetfield.

    Somehow, I don't see personality being an issue. :)

    Lukas isnt going anywhere sure he is the front runner, im curious to see what he writes when the show gets to the rockers performing originals. And how the hell is Zayra still on the show?

    But she rebounded very well with her Bring me to Life song... Looked better, sounded a whole lot better.

    Did you see Zayra's face when Jill was singing Bring me to life?! She was mega pissed off cause Jill sang it a million times better than she did the week before!

    Dana doing Sass Jordan showed she's got a great voice, far and away the best of this lot, but she's so not a rocker... really no matter how great she can sing she just won't fit.
    The other final 3 boy, Josh Logan, really kind of sucks, sounds like Kermit the Frog when he tries to do Cobain. Very wrong for our band, INXS, er SuperNova. And doesn't seem to get what they're saying to him.

    I still say it comes down to Lukas, Toby and Dilana. But I think the've already hired Lukas.
    Magni and Jill should round out the final 5.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Dilana – Time After Time (Cyndi Lauper)
    Josh – No Rain (Blind Melon)
    Storm – Anything Anything (Dramarama)
    So here's my prediction based on the "setlist":

    Dave and SuperNova will rave over Dilana's "Stunning" performance of a Cyndi Lauper song..."you made it your own".
    Phil will be told he needs to "rock out more, poor song selection"
    Josh will get another coffee house comment.

    Toby will get the encore.

    The bottom 3 will be Josh, Ryan and Phil...any of the 3 desrving the boot, but it will finally go to Josh, several weeks late.

    watch out for ryan to come out of his shell tonight
    I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

    I just wish they'd mix up the artists a bit. Sure, it's good to see some others on the list, but the Stones and Nirvana have been played a bit much. I wish they'd let us know what the actual list of available artists are. It's a bit obvious that PJ isn't on the list.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    And deservedly so.... ;)

    She has the "it" factor... Almost everyone on the show pretty much comes out each week and belts out the song the same way, very much like the original. Only a few add their own flavour and make it their own without ruining it. There is only so much you can do with "Time after time" without making it a completely new song.

    Lucas, Storm, Dilanna are the only 3 with anything original about them and the way they perform. But whether or not they win depends on if supernova want a unique style, or just want a guy like Magni to get up there and belt out rock tunes.

    she could sing happy birthday and i would certainly kiss her ass ;)

    like crazyjd said, she has "it"...the audience is into her, the band is into her, and i'm into her :) with her voice and the way she performs, i'm surprised we haven't all heard of her before. she's the only one i get really excited about seeing every week.
