There was one point during his performance with INXS where he had to run off to the side of the stage and grab a drink of water. But since I wasn't actually there to see ALL of what happened, I guess we'll never know.

I've rewatched some, comparing Marty's version of Take Me Out to the one Chris did was fun.

if Zayra doesn't go, i dont' think i can watch this show anymore.

Worst performance from both seasons tonight by her.

Cardiff Giant11 07-25-06 08:16 PM

wow this is the first time i've watched this show this season (I watched last season religiously because I dig INXS) and so far the first two people (the guy who did Bittersweet Symphony and the girl who did Call Me) were completely awful; by far worse than most of the bunch from last season. Ugh maybe there's a reason why I wasn't watching aside from it not being INXS.

Joeboo835 07-25-06 08:28 PM

the boys are lettin' it out tonight. Nice to hear them rip people like that.

aktick 07-25-06 10:12 PM

The stares of these women are just so damn annoying! I don't think I liked a single performance tonight, and I generally am very easily entertained. Actually Magni was probably my favorite, and they bashed him, go figure. Lukas is a damn one dimensional fruit, and if Jason had his way I think he'd be gone sooner than later, but the rest seem to really like him.

magiccmom 07-25-06 10:19 PM

The women here seem to be trying to damn hard and their performances dont ring true with me.

Patman 07-25-06 10:52 PM

Tobey was good, and Storm was interesting to watch. Cyndi Lauper songs need to be banned from these types of shows.

Jadzia 07-25-06 10:55 PM

I thought Storm Large was really, really good tonight.

If she ever does a solo album, she should call it "Large and In Charge".

candyrocket786 07-25-06 11:03 PM

Storm fucking rocked !!!

I just knew she would bring it with with Anything, Anything.

Hopefully, she'll get the encore!!!!

Looking forward to the show in a few hours. . .

I've been frustrated with not being able to vote this season on dial-up at home because the page just does not load. I had 15 minutes at work today after voting opened on the east cost, so I voted for Phil (which I would do during my own voting time block if I could get on!) No, I don't need to see him to vote for him -- I'm a staunch dirtyPhil supporter. (Although I don't care for his song choice this week.)

The mainstream rock/pop made sense with INXS, but if Supernova is presumably a hard rock/metal band, why aren't there more hard rock songs for the contestants to sing? Where are the Guns n Roses/Metallica/Motley Crue songs? There's only so much anyone can do with Blind Melon.

Can't do those songs because they can't get the rights.

aktick 07-26-06 07:54 AM

I know the band is a good fit for what Supepernova is trying to do (I think), but I am sooooo sick of hearing a Nirvana song every week. Maybe it's because I could never stand them, but it seems like whoever has the rights to those songs now is a paying sponsor for the show.

DVD Josh 07-26-06 08:36 AM

I too am getting very tired with the lack of variety in the songs. But what I'm really sick of is the band harping on how they don't like a particular song. Who picks who performs the songs? Last year, it seemed like INXS picked the group of songs, but this year, who the hell knows.

Very few of these competitors have any real talent. Loukas has none. Dilana has none. Zayra has less than zero.

You know who can't play guitar? Gilby Clarke. Man, how do you screw up a song as easy to play as Brown Sugar? He wasn't even on time either.

This show is becoming closer to America's Got Talent than American Idol.

Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. 07-26-06 08:36 AM

I'm sort of wondering if the band is even picking the songs given to the contestants, or if someone else is like the show's producers. They seem to hate almost every song and say it is not what they are trying to do.

Sums up my thoughts exactly. When they announced the band, I thought it was funny they couldn't get anyone better than Gilby.

Joeboo835 07-26-06 10:10 AM

I'm starting to get hte feeling that we may never actually see Supernova.

My guess is they pick someone and then have them record the voice and see if its any good. Probalby release it around xmas or in jan, see how record sales are before they bother going out on tour.

I disagree. This band screams tour more than album to me. The shows will be sold by the major rock station in every market. You take the 3 original band names and add "TV's Rockstar" to the radio ad and the shows will be sold out. The album will be secondary.

Why didn't they just ask Dave Navarro? Seriously, what else musically does he have going on right now?

I know they recently said something multiple times about a single and a New Year's show. I wonder if this means they are hedging their bets, or if these are just the precursors to the full album and tour?

Chrisedge 07-26-06 10:18 AM

I bet they play the one show at the Joint in the HRH in Vegas and THAT'S IT!

He has a new band (Panic Channel) that is about to release a new album in a couple of weeks. The band consists of Dave on guitar, Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction) on drums, Chris Chaney (Jane's Addiction) on bass and Steve Isaacs on guitar/singing. I'm a huge Jane's/Dave/Deconstruction fan, but I just couldn't get into the first single.

they'll probably do it all. Gilby needs the money.

DRG 07-26-06 04:29 PM

Oh, and about the show...

Lukas - Disappointing. He probably should've came up with a different arrangement, as his vocals didn't fit in very well. Maybe have guitars doing the string part? I dunno.

Zayra - Hot outfit, but her vocals are still sounding like a comically bad Idol audition.

Dana - The most rock she's sounded yet, as she finally loses some of that polished quality. Ironically, it was during an acoustic song. Oh course, it also makes her sound a bit more like the other females so she loses a bit of uniqueness there.

Patrice - Thought it was good but I agree with the judge's point.

Toby - Not bad, but I was hoping for a bit more range.

Magni - Quality performance. I don't get the guitar thing, unless you're doing a sit down acoustic deal. But I don't think they should've focused 100% on that.

Ryan - I laughed when they talked about him smiling then announced he would be doing that song. Vocals sort of dropped out at points, but overall sounded good, though.

Jill - For me it wasn't the grinding so much as she seemed to overbearingly hound Gilby in general. Band interaction is one thing, but she was stalking him onstage.

Phil - Weird performance. Intense psychotic glares into the audience don't really work with a Wallflowers song.

Dilana - Nice to hear her hippy-ish side. But she needs to remind us of her rock again soon, as she's been getting progressively gentler each week.

Josh - His tirade was odd. It's like he heard that comment about Zayra's outbursts being popular downloads on the web and figured he wanted a piece of that. Song was okay but I don't see what that has to do with their band, Supernova. (Sorry, wrong season...)

Storm - Liked the stage performance and the look, but her vocals are a bit one note for me.

BDLOU 07-26-06 04:47 PM

I can't stand Jill and Storm for the same reason I couldn't stand Suzy McNeil last year. Their whole schtick comes off very fake to me. Even Dana seems more real. I guess I think like Gilby. Women singers do not have to push sex at all times. Dilana, although not as generally sexy, does a much better job of being a singer first. I equate the things Jill and Storm do to when Constantine on AI was constantly trying to appear sexy.
