I don't know if it's that Radiohead's sound is so specific to Thom Yorke's vocals, or if the singers on RS:We Need A New Name simply suck at interpreting Radiohead. Oh, wait, I *do* know the answer to that!<BR/><BR/>Okay show, kinda boring, and I still think they will go with Toby over Lukas, though with the tongue-bath they were giving Dilana, she might pull out the win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1158182416871629872006-09-13T17:20:00.000-04:002006-09-13T17:20:00.000-04:00I'm SO glad I didn't watch last night's show judgi...I'm SO glad I didn't watch last night's show judging by what some folks have said about it.

BUT Tommy Lee's Unit will ache for Lukas and he'll win.<BR/><BR/>Does anyone else think that Lukas was that real big dork in school that kept to himself? Everyone else seems like they were a genuinely cool person. Lukas seems like the kid that nobody noticed.

No rock n roll moments to speak of.<BR/><BR/>But weird ones. <BR/><BR/>That David Blaine guy shows up again, and despite his angry expulsion speecha couple of weeks back, makes nice, kisses Supernova's butt and then flashes his own butt crack.

Not the typical blondes, but strange character models who stick out.<BR/><BR/>Toby asks Magni onstage with him, then insults him by writing on the back of his head with a Sharpie. <BR/><BR/>Magni responds by kneeling in front of the guy and holds his guitar.<BR/><BR/>Dilana humiliates the male contestants by turning them into a boy band, strolling onto the stage with microphones, harmonizing background vocals to a POLICE SONG. <BR/><BR/>The rockers agreed to impersonate N*Sync. <BR/><BR/>While Paula Abdul is in the audience.<BR/><BR/>In the end, Baby Brando seems a lock. He's the only one who looks comfortable in the eye shadow and glitter.<BR/><BR/>(And I read that a judge today ruled the band can't use the name "Supernova"...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1158122571068772032006-09-13T00:42:00.000-04:002006-09-13T00:42:00.000-04:00Not just the voting (which puts money in Verizon's...Not just the voting (which puts money in Verizon's pocket), but everything about tonight's show seemed entirely superfluous. Nothing else that these four are going to do is going to change Supernova's decision. <BR/><BR/>Toby's cover of "Karma Police" was relatively faithful. They cut out the second verse and half of the first chorus (for time). The only major change in arrangement was the band breaking for Toby to continue singing in the chorus. I thought that he sang it well, but something about the way the House Band plays Radiohead songs just doesn't quite work for me. It's less so the singing than the playing that doesn't quite fit. Maybe if the arrangement was very different rather than generally faithful, it might work better for me. <BR/><BR/>No mocking here, but The Bends and OK Computer are two of the seminal rock albums from the 90's and are among my favorite albums.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1158118386454196542006-09-12T23:33:00.000-04:002006-09-12T23:33:00.000-04:00Also, what is the point of the voting this week?

If the person they don't give a toss about (Magni) doesn't make the bottom two, they just get rid of him in the next cut. Just an attempt to drum up MSN's traffic.Alan Sepinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388147774725646742noreply@blogger.com
