Rockstar Supernova - Week 1
You know that Jill and I watch American Idol. Well, last year when MSN Rocsktar Inxs kicked off we were a little skeptical, but it turned out to be a lot of fun to watch.
My personal favorites from the show last year were Marty, Mig and Jordis (the first half of the season). Marty was probably the best rocker from a talent aspect. In fact, one of the reasons I thought they didn’t pick Marty is because quite frankly I think Marty would have overshadowed the rest of the group. Marty’s stage presence is larger than life. On the other hand we loved Mig. I wanted him to win, because I thought he seemed nice and he was possibly the best singer of the bunch. All in all the singing talent on Rockstar Inxs is better than American Idol, but you are also dealing with more polished veterans and it’s rock not pop music.
Just to give you an idea of how good the talent is, I think that if Chris Daughtry were in this competiton to be part of Supernova he would go home sometime in the first four weeks. My guess would be week 3.
Now on to last night’s show…
Chirs Pierson had to sing Roxxanne and it was the worst performance of the night. It’s really, really, hard to sing a Sting song. You have to have a lot of range and quite frankly you have to be named Sting to sing a Sting song.
The best performance of the night was Lukas Rossi, who sang Billy Idol’s rebel yell. You don’t have to be Billy Idol to sing Rebel Yell and Lukas was phenomenal. Of all the rockers Lukas looks like he would fit in best with the band.
My second favorite performance was by Zayra Alvarez. She has a very unique voice (so do some of the others) and her performance blew me away.
If last year’s Rockstar is any indication, this week probably won’t tell us much about who is actually going to win the competition, but Lukas is out to a clear early lead.
Tonight is the elimination show. Even though it’s really hard to predict, here are my bottom three candidates:
1. Chris Pierson
2. Jill Gioia
3. Magni Asgeirsson
I expect either Chris or Magni to go home. We shall see…
