(with his exit line about the 20 years making the TV history books) And jeez, what's with the attitude? "See you in the charts". Yuh-huh.<BR/><BR/>Very glad seeing the five best singers making the top 5. It's something that would never happen on Idol, where there's always a McKibbin somehow making it to the semifinals. In Rock Star, even after the very first night it was pretty obvious that theese five were keepers. The next one to go has to be Storm.<BR/><BR/>And btw, what Brooke Burke said is a flat out lie. Why exactly was Magni at the top of the votes? Says who? Not the math, anyways. The fact that Lukas was in the bottom 3 five minutes into the voting doesn't mean that he didn't eventually surpass the Icelander. (or is it Icelandish? And if it's Irish for Ireland, should it be Iceish for Iceland? (LOL) Oh well, I'll just go with Iceman.)dark tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461345493748899275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1157077117038928202006-08-31T22:18:00.000-04:002006-08-31T22:18:00.000-04:00Taste in music, as in almost anything, is subjecti...Taste in music, as in almost anything, is subjective, so I'm not surprised or mad or anything that people's opinions of the remaining rockers don't match up with mine. I don't remotely see the same performer in Storm that Tabloid Baby does, but that's okay. (And the "Daddy" tattoo, I'm guessing, is a reference to the fact that her mother was a schizophrenic who was in mental hospitals for most of Storm's life, giving her a tighter-than-normal bond with her dad.) <BR/><BR/>What I do find funny is that, on every board and blog I visit, everyone, no matter which rocker they're pulling for, seems in 100% agreement that Supernova sucks and that they'd just as soon their favorite come in second than have to pay to hear Gilby pretend to be a lead guitarist.Alan Sepinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388147774725646742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1157072883738411982006-08-31T21:08:00.000-04:002006-08-31T21:08:00.000-04:00I agree w/ Dez...

I just watch the show to be entertained, and so far, I have been, even when I'm hating on the performances :-)<BR/><BR/>Speaking of which: I share your incredulity with Ryan's 20-year-run talk, Alan. Check out the big ego on Ryan! Adios, Toolio! Glad your constipation was finally cured, though sorry it had to be during a Who song broadcast on my TV.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'm the lone insane voice out here, but I liked Dilana's take on Psycho Chicken (what the buuuuck?), despite her screw-ups. That combo Diamanda Galas/Nina Hagen/yodeling thing was fantastic and I think she scared the shit out of the band. That was awesome!<BR/><BR/>The new Super No Va song was weak, made weaker by poser Lukass' weak-ass vocals and weak-ass stage presence. Weak! BLEAH!<BR/><BR/>So glad Storm's around for another week. So sad Lukas didn't get that last slot instead of Dilana so they could've booted both him and Ryan. But at least one of those idiots is gone! And I agree that Toby's probably the best of the rest to front the band. As much as I like Dilana, I no longer think she's a good fit for the guys. They should have her be the opening act on their tour, however (and maybe do a triple bill with Magni).<BR/><BR/>Finally, a friend was telling me about some gossip she read which said that Gilby was overheard bitching to Rikki Rachtmann that Lukas thinks he's got the job sewn up, but he'll never win because both Gilby & Tommy hate his guts. Wheee! I'm sure Dave will deny it on his blog like he did the Janet Charlton gossip that says Lukas is the pre-ordained winner, but it was still fun to hear it :-) And I hope it's true!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1157032549439664022006-08-31T09:55:00.000-04:002006-08-31T09:55:00.000-04:00"Old men of Supernova", egads, some of you guys ar..."Old men of Supernova", egads, some of you guys are just creul. Funny, but cruel.<BR/><BR/>Don't forget there are some of us ancient Crue, Metallica, etc, fans still roaming about on this earth. LOL<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Stormie, Stormie, where did that come from? I loved her Helter Skelter, and I'm not a huge fan of the song to begin with. I really liked what she did with it, and I went into this viewing certain it was her that was to die. Not that she isn't a great performer, she is, just never seemed right for this bunch of guys.<BR/><BR/>During her performance I just knew she'd saved her butt from the fire.<BR/><BR/>During Ryan's before it, I just knew he'd drowned himself in stupidity.<BR/><BR/>Dilanna-WTF? Girl gone mad. So sad. I hope she can recover, but it doesn't look promising in such a short stretch as what's left.<BR/><BR/>Tobi-I think he'd be a good front if he makes it, and it seems the road is opening up before him for the final sprint.<BR/><BR/>Magni-I really like him as a performer, but agree, too mundane, and lounge actish most times.<BR/><BR/>FrogPrince-It's been a long time since I thought Lukas might have a real shot at front man for this group.<BR/><BR/>I have to admit I've come to like him just a little more personality wise since they've shown some clips of him being 'human', but I still don't care too much for what I've seen on stage.<BR/><BR/>It's been a fun season watching and I'll kind of miss it when it's over, but yes, if the group manages to stick around a bit, I'll buy the records, and maybe even get my old creaky ass out to a concert or two.Tami Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254839673811955144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1157023735404882012006-08-31T07:28:00.000-04:002006-08-31T07:28:00.000-04:00Why Toby should now win is he's the only one left ...Why Toby should now win is he's the only one left who could possibly make this band fun. Are we all agreed that Dilana comitted ritual suicide and there's no way Storm can win?<BR/><BR/>Magni is still a safe choice. Very professional and the band would sound as good as they possibly could. If the band expected to be around this time next year, then go with him.<BR/><BR/>Lukas, the Dungeons and Dragons master, is just too much fake angst. He looks the parts and can almost sound the part; but after awhile it all just sounds the same and he's boring on stage.<BR/><BR/>Toby isn't the best singer--though I think he's a better musician than his goofball act let's on. More than anyone he involves the audience and makes the performance fun. Works well with the band and a live concert would be entertaining. Toby rocks the crowd, Toby wins.<BR/><BR/>Now for next year let's find a real band needing a singer.billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116980864333670109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1157007409058023742006-08-31T02:56:00.000-04:002006-08-31T02:56:00.000-04:00I've got to disagree on the Storm Large point. Sh...I've got to disagree on the Storm Large point. She was more cabaret than ever doing that Kid Rock "gangsta" strut, and continuing it distractingly through Dilana's number. Storm makes a living doing cabaret versions of rock songs, pulling faces and making google eyes. This had to be the worst version of Helter Skelter ever and her only place on TV is taking over for Star Jones on The View.<BR/><BR/>Mystery: for a woman who seems to be such a drama club prom queen, why all the tats? And a "daddy" tattoo near the belt line? Hmmm...<BR/><BR/>Agreed this was the worst night of songs possibly in television history, though hilarious! Ryan's song was the last screams of a drowning man-- but his careful, ten-minute climb to the top of the amps was precious. In his Ramones shirt and Strokes white belt, he was reliving his adolescence, when his mom would drive him and his underage band to play at CBGBs (so says the publicity). But the butt crack? Pure Homer Simpson.<BR/><BR/>Based on that song, Dilana should have been thrown out. That made her version of the Police song look like Alice Cooper singing "I'm Eighteen.' Thank God she didn't show her butt crack like the other two kept flashing. And yodeling? Yes she was. Check the Internet. Dilana is big in Holland. Maybe she can front Focus.<BR/><BR/>In the "end," it has to be Sal Mineo. There's no way Toby will front this band. He's too suburban. Too much like a frat boy grabbing the mike and yowling.<BR/><BR/>Still, there's no excuse for this crew of contestant. Even if the network cast them before they cast the band, CBS knew the genre. It was supposed to be Van Halen, remember?tabloidbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04665220369368767483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1157000096663688492006-08-31T00:54:00.000-04:002006-08-31T00:54:00.000-04:00So it wasn't just me on the whole Dilana thing.
