    I think Dilana watched Rockstar last season and saw that JD's cockiness and negativity towards others didn't interfere with him winning and INXS saw it as being "competitive". I guess she made a bad assumption. You can tell the entire band was really turned off by that, as many viewers were I am sure.
    She got way too ahead of herself.
  • I thought it was a nice tough considering that she was singing that for her mom, who by the sonds of it used to sing it to her.

    yeah, i don't think most people got that part. she wasn't trying to be vain like most people thought. that's the way her mom used to sing it to her.

    She absolutely needs to learn what comments are not appropriate, and the press owned her... BUT

    You could edit together clips of Toby's comments and make him a sexist... you could edit together clips of Storm and make her a freak (ok she is)... you could edit together Magni's comments (like the one at the end about "I should get an encore" for Hendrix) and make him an arrogant prick...

    I find it hard to beleive none of these guys have ever made bad remarks to press or eachother OTHER THAN Dilana, the girl who dances for everyones songs, cries when everyone leaves, and seemed (early on) to have self-confidence issues... and early on it was remarked that Dilana was a great friend to everyone in the house (paraphrased).

    Dilana probably is letting the praise go to her head... she is trying to show her confidence and fearlessness in going after the top spot in this "competition". But I think the Burnett producing team are seeing the votes are probably HEAVILY favouring Dilana (probably more than we would realize) and need to bring her down a few notches, make the fans feel it isnt a given, and MOST IMPORTANTLY avoid the fan backlash if the band go with someone else (Lukas, Magni) when Dilana appeared to walk on water in this competition.

    I think SN might have watched her sing with them and maybe felt its not what they were after, but with her dominating the polls it might get ugly if they (SN, Burnett) don't bring her down a bit.

    But yeah, she took an asswhipping... they even edited out her on-stage responses for the most part... lol


    Great points as usual JD. I couldn't believe that the show went after Dilana like that. I don't know if it was as intentional as you suspect - I think they just tried to trap somebody with those interviews and Dilana was the only one foolish enough to fall for it.

    The funny thing is that she was right - Lukas is clearly a prick. If I had to live in a house with him I would have held his mis-shapen skunk head under the pool long ago.

    I agree the "media" were instructed to pressure these guys into saying something "news worthy"... and your right, Dilana couldnt hold her ground. Although I really dont see an issue with WHAT she said.... the reporter asked if some people seemed to want it more than others: she said she thinks so. They pressed for some examples, and she said Toby and Magni dont seem to have their heart into it... wow. Thats HARSH lol... please, its not like she shit on their talent.

    They asked her if anyone gets on her nerves... now, in other reality shows, people dont hold back. Dilana said honestly "lukas drives me crazy sometimes etc...". Yes, thats awful, ban her from the competition NOW lol.

    Also to add... Storm did a radio interview BEFORE she knew anything about the Dilana attack... she was asked about the unwarranted HEAPS of praise Dilana gets even for something ordinary... Storm said she loves Dilana etc, and actually said that she would walk off the show if CBS seemed to be setting her up... the radio guy was like "what do you mean?"... and she said she gets this feeling they are setting her up for a big fall (I would have thought she felt they were setting her up for a big win)... interesting that her housemates could see this coming...

    And Dave Navarro on his 6767.com site that they gave her hell for it, but its over, done with, and really has little impact. After all, he admits he and other rockers constantly regret things they say in the media. But a point did have to be made.

    "media" you're right, ha ha - I liked the way they cocked their eyebrows and held their chins in their hands when they asked the "tough" questions. UGH

    you lost me there (one too many "she's")... Strom gets the feeling that they are setting up Dilana to take a fall? And if that happened, Storm would walk off the show?

    Oh please, please let that happen... talk about two birds with one stone!! :)

    Somehow Storm felt that the producers were setting Dilana up for a fall... I dont know why, she didnt really explain and the radio guys sort of moved on without digging into it. But with regards to all the praise Dilana gets, something made Storm feel like they were setting Dilana up... I have no idea why, but there must be more to it.

    She said if that happens (I think she means more that the producers/edits) start discrediting people for ratings, she will leave. Well, they did... so I wonder if she comments on it at all this week.

    DRAMA=RATINGS

    that had to throw a wrench into things to make it more interesting since obviously the singing isnt doing it...haha

    anyway Dilana added to her being targeted by talking to the press that openly and if Storm wants to go more power to her

    well, on rockstar.msn.com they, at one point, had the entire version of each of their songs...it would probably have been taken down by now but i bet the reality webisode is still up....which week it was escapes me
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

  • Definitely going to be harder to pick the winner this week..I actually enjoyed the performances this week.
    Underneath this smile lies everything
    all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...

    you can read her blog on the rockstar space, where she admits that after seeing the clinic and listening to the song that it was really bad. she said she wished she'd taken it more seriously and had devoted more time to it.
  • lukas is finally in the bottom three!...at this point anyway :)

    i was sitting there trying to get through his "performance"...man i love "lithium", so it was tough. the whole time i'm thinking there is no way they are going to like this...then, of course, they praise him for what was truly one of the worst performances of the season. terrible. i hope he stays in the bottom three because it's been a long time coming and he definitely deserves it. :)

    thought storm and toby were both not memorable performances.

    magni had a great performance, i thought, but stress seems to be taking a strain on his voice. i thought maybe it was showing a bit in that one. good on him for remaining solid though. could have been the fact that he's still getting over his illness.

    ryan's performance was better than i thought it would be, although he sounded like he missed a lot of notes he was trying to reach, particularly in the beginning. kudos for his jumping on the piano though. the best part of that one for me was newkid's stare down with the balcony at the end when he said that ryan kind of "loses the plot" when he jumps out from behind his comfort zone of the piano. don't fuck with the newkid. he is too fucking metal, man! :D

    finally, dilana was still by far my favourite of the night. to see her on the flying V and truly rocking was outstanding, for me. her vocals were great as always...and she totally blew jill's version of "mother mother" away. the only one to do so this week i thought, of all the people doing songs previously done by other competitors. i was kind of hoping she would let the band tkae it for a minute so she could smash the guitar, but magni might have been cut ;) so better to be safe than sorry. best performance of the night, one of her best of the season and definitely worthy of an encore.

    i'm happy they addressed all that bullshit from last week right away, as it wasn't the big deal the show wanted it to be in the first place. she is speaking about competitors..NOT bandmates...something lost on just about everyone who was criticizing her on the show. i guess it's the recency effect because most of us remember the shit talking by ryan and lukas in the beginning, and that was broadcast for all to hear...not just said to a fake media clinic. she didn't even say anything that bad for fuck's sakes.

    anyway, moving on, i hope to see some more great performances from dilana. the only one there (aside from magni) who truly deserves to be on a stage as a rock star. ryan should be doing his own piano thing and storm is there to promote her own band, so i hope they both do well with that.

    I thought the performances tonight were pretty good. I think the fans picked better suited songs for the specific performers than they usually pick for themselves.

    Lucas: I liked it.

    Magni: I liked

    Ryan; Pretty good

    Storm: eh

    Toby: scored points with Tommy pulling the hookers up on stage. It's all he has left

    Dilana: I don't get the appeal, though I did like the leg kick while she had the guitar
    I said Yeaaaaaaah!

    i think the performances tonight were pretty damn good....

    i even have to give it to Storm that she did good with the Evanescence song for not knowing it and she got criticized and i dont know why and im a Storm-hater!!!

    why is Lukas getting all the love, he butchered Lithium IMO....

    nice to see Dilana rebound she took alot more shit than she should have and she kicked ass at the end

    nice piano jump by Ryan and i think Newkid doesnt like him at all

    I liked everyone to an extent besides Dilana. Cant stand her, never could. "Best performance out of both seasons" Bullshit, dave, bullshit.

    Ryan and Magni did great with their songs and I also liked Lukas' take on "Lithium" as most Nirvana covers on this show are so boring.

    Storm's performance I liked a bit BUT I do agree that when Toby came on he stole the show just by being more of a presence than her....I figured she would have somebody come up for that vocal part actually.

    My thinking is that Ryan is too different for them, too alternative for their bar rock type of sound. Id almost just like to see him continue on as a solo artist. Same thing with Magni. Surprisingly, I could actually see Lukas or Toby winning just cuz they fit the band more.

    I think Storm is going home tonight

    Interesting that fan voting picked the "wild card" song for each performer, so nobody got to sing something they had already sung. Kudos to the fans for being smarter than the producers.

    On to the show.

    Once again, the bottom 3 this week should be Storm, Storm and Storm.
    Have the 3 of them song and boot one of them off.

    I was a bit surprised at Newkid's comment to Ryan, I thoroughly enjoyed his performance of a normally bland Coldplay tune. The jumping on the piano was cool, but the slide over the piano back to the bench towards the end of the song (which idiot producers panned away from so you only saw part of it) was much cooler. I thought Ryan deserved an early exit from the show, but he has improved week to week.

    Magni looked the part of Ed Kowalczyk singing "I Alone".

    Toby was good, and you knew T-Bone was gonna enjoy the chaste young ladies from the audience being pulled on stage.

    Dilana was decent, I too enjoyed the leg kick.

    Lukas was pretty good, not best of the night, but as I've stated from the beginning and don't care what Davey N. says, he has been hired by Tommy Lee (the sole decision maker of Supernova), so he must get heaps of praise for mediocre and average performances.

    Storm...I said as soon as she finished to my wife, "She sung the song better than Zarex, but nowhere near as well as Jill" and then Gilby made a similar comment. She just needs to go. Hopefully she'll end up bottom 3 finally and get the boot, but somehow I see bottom 3 being Ryan, Magni and Toby based on the past history of idiotic voting and then Ryan may end up gone.

    I finally pegged what bugs me about Lucas.... (only now, you ask?)..... he looks and sounds like a Muppet. I liked his arrangement of Lithium, but the faux-growl in his voice is starting to sound a little "Grover-esque"... :rolleyes:

    I thought Magni was strong, as usual.... that guy's got some pipes! I honestly think he deserves better than fronting anything with Tommy Lee in it....

    Ryan's slide was pretty badass... for a piano player... ;) hahaha j/k... i agree that he's a better solo artist though.

    Storm has a nice voice, but she's not Supernova material.

    I think Toby jumped into the running last night, with his groupie stunt. He's got a strong voice too... I think, personality wise, he's the best fit for the group.

    Dilana's performance was cool.... my favorite part was when she head-butted the mic at the end.... hahaha... :D

    i liked lukas and magni, they both did great. i dont care if lukas rearranges a nirvana song, theyve been done to death. they need new life in them. its like toby's version of layla, some people might say he butchered it but i think its nice hearing something new for once.

    I agree, I love hearing them re-arrange songs, ESPECIALLY when they have already been done before multiple times. I don't care that Layla wasnt sung exactly the same, and I was very happy to see Lithium changed up, who knew you could do a piano startup to it? Considering he said in advance he needed to put his own spin on it, I thought he did it very well and actually SANG on alot of it rather than speak/growl it out.

    I was impressed with everyone. At this point, all 6 are strong performers and singers.

    Dilana's performances dont give me goosebumps like early on, but this was similar to earlier tunes where she brought presence and an intense rocker chick delivery. I always loved her voice and she sang it great. Best performance in two seasons? No. But its been said that on TV the songs lose alot of the "feel" they have when done LIVE. Navaro said Lukas's song LAST week didnt come across great on TV but live it was amazing.

    Ryan has improved immensely, great variety in his performances... He is still too intense and serious for this band and would probably be very uncomfortable with the HEY HEY HEY HO HO HO style songs... lol

    Storm sang it great, rocked out... Toby boosted the songs energy.... but she knows she is probably next to go as her style is more cabaret.

    Magni started out the exact same for a few minutes, had me thinking "NOT AGAIN!" but he went to the SN guys and rocked the crowd. The guy can sing rock, no doubt. Might still be a bit too bland though.

    Toby seems to be a late contender, he has put some creativity into his performances lately and has a ganeric "rocker" sound and look to him that might work with SN's music and TLee in particular. I dont really care for him but after hearing SN, he might be a good fit.

    It's obvious that this guy already won. They might as well stop the show now. Lukas could walk up there and fart the Star Spangled Banner and they'd tell him he blew everybody away. Maybe Newsted would tell him he should have opened his sphincter more but that would be it. At first I didn't believe in the Dliana "conspiracy" theory but now I'm thinking that's exactly what it was - she probably gets the most votes but for whatever reason the band wants skunkboy to win so they're trying to make Dilana look bad and Puke-ass look good. That's why they had that ridiculous segment out of nowhere last night where they tried to make him look like a "regular guy," where he's shooting baskets (that looked like the first time he ever touched a basketball BTW), drinking beer, shooting pool, and talking about how he worked at Hooters. Oh, and putting on eyeliner (?)

    But hopefuly Storm will get kicked off this week and our long natiional nightmare will finally come to a close. The dewy-eye look was getting on my last nerve last night, holy cripes. "Caveman stance" - LOL!
