I just read this nice article from the Houston Chronicle on Dilana (post Rockstar).

It’s a pretty interesting read. Two of the things I found interesting from the article were this:

Finally she went to the show’s producers and asked, “When are you guys going to have enough? You’ve drawn every bit of blood out of my skin.” She said they told her, “You’re the most interesting person to pick on.”

This just goes to show that when watching reality tv, you have to remember that editing is always done to shape our view on contestants. And the editing usually paints a different picture than “TRUE” reality.

and this:

When Rossi and Rock Star Supernova (the band’s new name, after a legal battle) tour in 2007, Dilana, Magni, Toby and Storm will front Rock Star’s formidable House Band as opening act.

I didn’t realize that not only Dilana, but also Magni, Toby and Storm would be touring with the band formerly known as Supernova. The fans should enjoy that.

According to Rockstar Supernova contestant Ryan Star’s website, he is set to come out with a live CD titled “Darkhorse: A Live Collection”.

It was interesting to see that after he was booted Ryan endorsed Lukas to win. I guess Ryan and Lukas became pals during the show.

Anyway, it’s good to see that Ryan’s carreer is off and running.

Very interesting show this evening. They had each rocker put on a two song set. Here are my opinions on the sets.

Dilana -
Not so good. The original was pretty bad. I wish they had kicked her out last week, so we could have heard Ryan sing another original song. Does anyone get the feeling that Gilby is done with Dilana?

Magni -
Was pretty good. I really like his performance and his original had a nice hard beat to it. The band didn’t seem too happy with his stage presence.

Storm -
She had a really good night. She got to rock with Dave Navaro on guitar and then she performed well with her original song. I would still put her in the bottom three based on her performance over the long haul.

Lukas -
Hmmmm…. I like Lukas a lot, but I didn’t really like his performance tonight. His original song was ok, but overall not a great night for him. I do think Lukas should stay out of the bottom three based on his past performances.

Toby -
Wow, in the middle weeks of the show I was sure he wasn’t right for the band, but at this point I think he is the best fit for the band. He has so much energy and really gets the audience into the show. Gilby says he would bring a lot of energy to the band, something they need. I could definitely see Toby fronting the band.

At the end of the show they showed the current voting position of each rocker. It was:

1. Toby
2. Lukas
3. Magni
4. Storm
5. Dilana

I would say that’s about right. What do you think?

The fans chose what songs would be played this week.

Lukas - Lithium
Lukas started the show off playing Lithium. It was interesting to learn that prior to being on this show he was flipping chicken at Hooters. His performcance gave me chills. In other words, I really, really liked it. It was one of his best performances yet.

Magni - I alone
Magni was very good. His voice is awesome and he put on a pretty good performance.

Ryan - Clocks
WOW! Ryan is full of surprises every week. He put on the best performance of the night. If I was giving out the encore I would give it to him.

Storm - Bring me to Life
She sang it ok, but I wasn’t overly impressed. She had Toby sing backgrounds and he kind of stole the show from her. She is probably going home this week.

Toby - Rebel Yell
One of his best performances. At the end he brought girls out of the audience to dance with him on stage. It was a really, really good performance.

Dilana - Mother, Mother
Dilana put on a really good performance. She sang it well. Excellent way to end the show.

With the exception of Storm I could see any of these performers sing with Supernova. It really depends on what they are looking for now. The bottom three at the end of the show was Lukas, Storm and Ryan. My bottom three would be Storm, Magni and Dilana. But other than Storm it is really, really hard to put any of them in the bottom three.

This week the song selection battle was a little interesting. There were two original songs up for grabs and at the beginnning, everyone wanted one. In the end, Patrice and Ryan got to sing the two original songs. If Rockstar follows last years progression, this means that in the near future, they will all be singing original songs.

Patrice - Original song
Patrice was alright. It was a nice tune, but her voice has seemingly gotten weaker over the competition. I am not sure why.

Magni - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Nice performance, solid vocals. It might still land him in the bottom three, but probably not.

Ryan - original song
Really nice performance, great vocals, amazingly enough he is actually becoming my favorite of the group. It reminds me of how Marty came on at the end of last season and just blew me away.

Storm - Cryin’
Nobody wanted to sing this Aerosmith song, but Storm had the guts to take it on. She did pretty good with it vocally, but it wasn’t my favorite performance. I think she will be in the bottom three.

Dilana - Every Breath You Take
It was a good rendition of the song. I still have a hard time listening to anyone other that Sting sing a Police song, but Dilana did a nice job with it. Strange outfit and eyelashes though. I could see her in the bottom three, but don’t think it will happen.

Toby - Layla
Not great vocally, but made up for it with his performance. He should be in the bottom three this week.

Lukas - All These Things That I’ve Done
It was pretty good, and I love the way he moves on stage, except for when he turns his back to the crowd. Tommy said two words, “check please”. The first time Tommy described a Lukas performance was with one word, “Rockstar”. I think Lukas might be Tommy Lee’s favorite.

It’s getting to be narrow pickings for the bottom three. I think that anyone could be in the bottom three at this stage. I expect to see Toby, Storm and Patrice in the bottom three, with Patrice going home. I expect Ryan or Magni to sing the encore.

We shall see…
