For example, "Celebrity Skin" is an angry song and smiling through it is kind of...weird. I had a problem with Lukas winking after singing "Creep," too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1155906626544158922006-08-18T09:10:00.000-04:002006-08-18T09:10:00.000-04:00Beth, thanks for the tip on Patrice.

A google search will get you lots of background info. Her band was Sister 7. <BR/><BR/>I find it funny that so many people find her smiling while performing annoying - I've seen her live and she's all about having fun while playing/singing some seriously impressive music. <BR/><BR/>I'd hate to see her win because I don't think Supernova is well suited for her - but I do hope she gets a bigger careerer than she's had to date out of it. <BR/><BR/>Beth - bethmauldin.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1155850430611795322006-08-17T17:33:00.000-04:002006-08-17T17:33:00.000-04:00Tabloidbaby wrote:Dilana seemed to be the top unti...Tabloidbaby wrote:<BR/><I>Dilana seemed to be the top until we saw her standing in the recording studio with the rest and it was revealed she's about four feet tall</I><BR/><BR/>If <B>height</B> is your criteria for Dilana not being right for Supernova, how is Midget Glam Hobbit (MGH) Lukas a better fit?

Now if you would only get rid of Ryan and Lukas next (Patrice is not right for the band, but she doesn't annoy me the way those two idiots do).<BR/><BR/>I thought the SN song was kinda catchy in that "if I heard it on the radio 57 times," too. I won't go out of my way to hear it, though.<BR/><BR/>My friend, Judi, & I thought Magni singing "Creep" and Patrice doing "Celebrity Skin" were slaps at Lukas because we thought they both did better jobs with those songs than he did. And while Patrice did get most of the words to CS right, she didn't necessarily get them in the right order...ugh...don't these people freaking rehearse more than once??? They don't necessarily have to rehearse a bunch of times with the House Band, but for God's sake, at least sing to yourself at the mansion and learn the damn song!<BR/><BR/>Dilana could lose if she gets cocky, which it seemed was starting to happen last night.

The show is shown "live" at midnight Tuesday night when most people are asleep and then most people actually watch it when it's reshown the next night. When it's too late to vote. Plus, there are only 300,000 Icelanders total. So, unfortunately, Magni's hometown support voting-wise is probably a little underwhelming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1155824535511520062006-08-17T10:22:00.000-04:002006-08-17T10:22:00.000-04:00Patrice looks more and more like a mom playing roc...Patrice looks more and more like a mom playing rock star. There's no way she'd front for those guys.<BR/><BR/>Ryan Star reminds us too much of David Blaine.<BR/><BR/>But Storm should be knocked off next. She's very annoying, pulling faces and acting shocked and hurt every time someone is eliminated. She's very much the poser and doesn't belong in this world.<BR/><BR/>Dilana seemed to be the top until we saw her standing in the recording studio with the rest and it was revealed she's about four feet tall (Check out her website. Her image before the competition was less Ozzy and more Melissa Etheridge).<BR/><BR/>Our money is on Lukas, little Sal Mineo.tabloidbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04665220369368767483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1155822081947391352006-08-17T09:41:00.000-04:002006-08-17T09:41:00.000-04:00If that was the case, I doubt we would have heard ...If that was the case, I doubt we would have heard Zayra do two very obscure songs by obscure bands, or Patrice do "My Iron Lung," or that guy from week one bust out Duran Duran. Basically, on elimination night, you can sing anything, so long as it clears. <BR/><BR/>I also liked Magni's semi-subtle dig at "Satisfaction," which he had to sing to great boredom in week one, while explaining why he loves "Creep."Alan Sepinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388147774725646742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1155821909636906442006-08-17T09:38:00.000-04:002006-08-17T09:38:00.000-04:00You get the feeling that they licensed a discrete ...You get the feeling that they licensed a discrete set of songs at the beginning of the season and that's all they're playing with?

And let's not forget that she totally blew the lyrics competition.<BR/><BR/>Magni, Lukas, and even Storm have potential to take it from Dilana. Those guys will make an awesome final four, if that's how it breaks.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing about "Rock Star," Alan.
