I love Newstad's puzzled looks during some of the performances, it's like he's thinking "WTF?"

I was waiting for him to comment on Josh's head bobbing during his song.

I'm glad Josh is gone. I couldn't stand to watch him bobble his way through that one song. I can't imagine watching him do it for two hours during a concert.

BTW.. Newsteads advice vs. Tommy Gilby and Dave is night and freaking day

To compare any of thier experience to his being in the largest band in the world for years is rediculous

That's only because he was behind a guitar. His swagger went directly to his neck. I'm totally bummed he was voted off. I thought he was the best singer, had a really versatile voice and an awesome personality. His Supernova song slayed on the others too.

Not buying that at all. His voice is passable, at best, but better suited for other venues. If there was a CoffehouseStar, than he might take the cake - but to me he clearly comes off as out of his league, and trying too hard. It's obvious that up until this point, he's likely been playing small rooms with just himself and an acoustic guitar or piano. He's still is very uncomfortable on a big stage, and he can't sustain the power in his voice while moving around. I've seen at least three performances with him now where his singing has dropped out to the point of being practically inaudible, and he's almost breathless. I keep thinking, "god, if he's barely making it through one song, how's he going to pull off an entire evening, and night after night at that". The only time he's pulled off a memorable and convincing performance was when he did "Losing My Religion", and he was sitting down at a piano for that one, which only further proves my point.

He may just make it to the final 6, but my predictions for the final four are Magni, Lukas, Dilana and Storm.

Zayra, by all rights, should go next. Then Ryan, Patrice and Toby, and in that order, too.

I agree with your final four, but not the order of the next four going. I'd switch Zayra and Patrice.

Take another look at the pictures:





The bottom one is not Ryan, it is actually Rob Cestorino, "The best player to not win Survivor." This was my idea of who he always reminds me of, as well as a humble attempt at humor.

^^^ Some of us got your attempt at humor.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was unnerved by Josh's neck bobbing. Yes, I understand that it was because he was playing guitar, but there's still no excuse. He made Phil's neck movements look subtle.

Also, I was totally with Dave on his assessment of Toby. I enjoyed Toby more than any other week until he broke out that megaphone. Then he pretty much lost me. He completely lost me at the end of the song when he put the siren on. Could you get any cheesier?

Surprised at how well Lucas sounded, it was definitely the first time that he allowed his voice to open up, but his drunken buffoon antics on stage are starting to look about as forced as Ryan's jumping around on stage, at least in my opinion.

I wasn't at all sure what to think of Ryan's performance. I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk about it on here. Probably a little too theatrical for me. But my friend I watch this show with and I totally agree about the coffee house vibe from Ryan. He just always has this "I'm in pain and I'm really deep" look on his face, kinda like the poet guy from Peggy Sue Got Married. Did I really just reference that movie?

Week 7 songs

Pretty weak songs IMO...

Geez, that is some weak stuff. Did they forget to pay the royalty police?

I think the head bobbing is just because he's an irritating louse. I've seen lots of people play the guitar for songs like that, and none of them looked like they should be glued to the dashboard of a Honda Accord.

That's what I'm not liking about the show this year. It seems they have a very limited pool of tired songs from the same old artists. I mean c'mon, not one of these songs are in the same genre they are auditioning for. And at least one is way, way out there. Why not just let them all do original material?

At least there's no Nirvana song this week......

I think that Ryan is going to massacre his song. Can't wait to see Storm perform....interesting choice.

I heard that Supernova ripped Storm apart

Really? Sounds interesting. Can't wait to see it.

When is it taped? Where do you get early scoop like that? I saw it posted somewhere before, but can't remember. TwP maybe? Can't remember.

Tuesday shows are taped on Sunday. Wednesday shows are taped Wednesday afternoon. There are several websites with some information. Supernovafans.com always has accurate info from people who attend the tapings.

Cheesy isnt the word for that selection. I have been to dance competitions with my daughters and we cringe whenever we hear that song. That is the dancing staple for preteen newbie dancers. Not meant for a rock competition AT ALL.

Thanks Lunatikk.

So

just watched the reality episode. zayra and ryan were battling over the song choice. all zayra would say, over and over, was "I really, really, really want this song". then she would add more "really"s. pretty annoyng.
