Rockstar: Supernova – Performances #4

Unlike last week, this time around we had some stellar performances followed by pure crap. Of course, this is just my opinion. The “boys” in the band like anything with two X chromosomes.

Performances

Best performance of the night. I say, “Sign him up!” He’s this season’s J.D. because you see him being the rebel and taking more artistic liberties with songs, bending them to suit his purposes. “Bittersweet Symphony” is a cool song but not really up Supernova’s ally, until Lukas messed with it. I think he’s grand and should win this thing.

Dana took her evil pills for “About a Girl.” It was the best performance she’s had but I think she’s just passing time until she gets back to her regular job of taking tickets at the local drive-in.

“Some Remedy” isn’t a good song choice, but Patrice rocked it nonetheless. As expected, the band came back with, “I just don’t see what we need.” Ouch.

Everybody likes Toby and he could wind up with the gig. He’s got the looks, and the voice, and could be taught to be a malcontent. I did like his version of “White Wedding.”

Magni just doesn’t do it for me. His vocals on “Heroes” were decent. So so. Alright. But he’s not the larger than life persona that a major rock band needs. Oh wait a minute, this is Supernova. Sure, Magni could do it.

Finally Ryan took a song with an edge—”I Alone”—and then rode it like a bronco. He even jumped up on the bass drum, almost slipped and came crashing back to earth. (Worth a star right there.) Where’s that been all this time? Still don’t get the plain black shirt, boring accessories and paltry two tatoos? Don’t you know there’s a 12 tatoo minimum to get signed by the band?

“One Headlight” was a terrible choice. The band was asleep, then woke up to bash. Surprisingly, America hasn’t landed him in the Bottom 3 but that could change when the voting ends.

Biggest surprise of the night! Dilana pulled out a decrepit version of “Time After Time” and I was all set for the band to blast away at her… and what do they do? They stand up and sing her praises?!? The fix is in, I say! Let’s get some undercover reporters on the case. Is she offering favors? WTH?!? Navarro is a phenomenal kiss ass who needs to be stopped. That’s just all there is to it.

Haha! Storm stage dove. That’s really all you need to know about the kind of girl Storm Large is. What song was that anyway? Storm is probably the leading chick and I’m sure Tommy Lee wants to score so I’m pencilling the Mighty Amazon into the Final 4. (Would have given her 4 stars if the song weren’t utter rubbish.)

Bottom Three

I’m so sick of “Brown Sugar.” How’d this get to be a classic? I think The Stones are so over-rated. She did a fine job with it, I thought. Then Gilbey said the strangest thing, “I was turned off by your grinding move.” Of course, it took all of 0.23423 seconds for Tommy Lee to fire back, “If this was my band, we’d be grinding for hours.” Yeah. I can see Supernova sticking together for years.

Josh sang “No Rain” which was, again, too mellow for this band. Where do these song choices come from? Shouldn’t those people be held accountable? It’s not the band who puts them up on the board, right? Bah!

Ahh, Zayra, the freak of the little third world. She’s actually pretty pathetic, if you think about it. No father would want their daughter behaving like this. But back to this week. “Call Me” by Blondie is not a hard rock song. Strike 1. Zayra butchered the song and almost make my ears bleed. Strike 2. Her superhero outfit looked like something she stole from an old Ziggy Stardust wardrobe. Strike 3. America, hear me! Please don’t vote for this poor kid. She’s horrible and could only cause more destruction. Please, I beg of you.
