I sampled "the one", and it does not hold a candle to Rock Star.

I just wish this Rock Star house band made the jump over to American Idol and replace that crappy band.

Will definitely check out the rest of the episode later.
I fastforwarded through "The One" after "Supernova" and got a taste of every performer. That guy, Austin Carroll, was the ONLY decent performer and the whole show was like a bunch of terrible "Idol" rejects .

As for "Supernova". . .

I thought the worst last night were Toby and Dana, surprisingly.

I think my favorite, Phil, gets the encore tonight.

Dilana. Period. She is still the only performer up there that seems to have any weight and she's riveting to watch. Her vocals at times remind me a little of Christina Amphlett from The Divinyls (who did much more than just "I Touch Myself").

I saw Dilana's performance last night on youtube and thought it was terrible.

Phil, while much better, needs to stop slurry. He'll get the encore, but only because Newstead will play again.

He needs to stop flailing his arms. It just makes him look goofy.

My husband finally nailed it:

"Lukas has a Clint Howard quality"



I think Dana looks like Jeanne Tripplehorn.
Jill looks like some chick Tommy Lee probably banged in the 90's.

Ryan Star is a dead ringer for the ambiguous art teacher Oliver on SFU.

FWIW, Sass Jordan was huge in Canada about a decade ago. She currently fills the Paula Abdul role on Canadian Idol. I'm sure that she must have a Greatest Hits out, and it would be worth checking out.

Except Clint has talent. Lukas is annoying and even weirder looking.

Can anyone provide a recap? There were some serious storms in the St Louis area and the local CBS affiliate decided to show about 10 minutes of Rock Star and discuss weather and what the anchors did this evening with the other 50 minutes.

Came down to Josh, Jenny, and Dana. Jenny was eliminated. Some how Zayra squeaked by again.

Can someone please punch that foreign chick in the throat for me? I cannot stand that stupid Penelope Cruz wannabe.

the right person went home tonight. jenny tried to be "harder" but she basically ended up looking like a poser. weak vocals, and what seemed like orchestrated stage antics.

i thought josh sounded great.

I don't understand why it sounds like Zayra's name is always pronounced "Siedah". Whenever Bwak Bwak mentions Siedah, I'm like "who?"


It's kind of funny that these performers keep doing Nirvana since didn't grunge effectively end the heyday of most of these Supernova guy's careers?

They did sound pretty bad on vasoline. Also, I really wish that of the four times he's played it, Rafael would properly play the riff to heart shaped box.

I wish they had given Jenny some practical advice like this - "Jenny, when you raise the pitch as much as you do, you really change the tone of the song drastically. Like Drive, it changes it into a Paula Cole song. You need to try and stay closer to the original key to keep the tone correct".

I also noticed that she changed most keys to A, which has a "happier" tone color than say D or E.

Either way, she should have gone. The other two really brought it, and she did not.

You could see Josh saving himself with that scream at the end. I guess the right person went but all three are weak. The young girl has pipes but she has absolutely no idea what anyone is talking about. "How can they say I don't rock hard? I PUMP MY FIST AND STOMP MY FEET!"

Dana can sing loud, but her voice is so un-melodic, it's painful to listen to her sing at times.

Jenny couldn't sing loud at all and was totally wrong for this competition. She needs to veer into the Adult Contemporary territory where you don't have to sing like a banshee to get noticed.
