Rockstar: Supernova ~ Week Seven

WAS THAT THE FINAL EXPLOSION?
So Zayra’s finally out of the competition. I should be rejoicing now that my prayers have finally been answered but I’m not. After that vomit-inducing Clark-Jason-Tommy-Dilana performance last night on the elimination show, I now have more respect for Zayra than all of them combined. Zayra at least remained true to herself till the end.

Supernova’s first performance with Dilana last night was the cheesiest shit, I tell you! Not that I was taking this whole Supernova thing too seriously, but c’mon, I was expecting something slightly better from these veterans. And Dilana gyrating on stage with four leather-clad female dancers, WTF was that? Shame on you, Gilby Clark, for chastising Jill Gioia for ‘humping’ you and then gleefully being a part of a lesbian sex fantasy!

And Dave Navarro! When will that guy stop being such a suck up? Every time someone from Supernova gets on stage, he’s all ready to offer his ass. And when he told Dilana this week on performance night that her rendition of Harry Chaplin’s Cats In The Cradle gave him the chills, he made me wonder if the air conditioning was the real reason behind the ‘chills’. The performance was alright, but it was no where near great. The only time Dilana gave me the goosebumps was during her Lithium performance. So Dave, do anything, play with your nipple rings if you want, but just stop overrating people just because they have a huge fan following! And Dilana, you’re no longer my favourite even though it’s pretty obvious the gig’s already yours.

Currently on my top three list:
# 01. Lukas: Sang Hero by Nickelback and did a great job though Jason was not too impressed with Lukas’ clinching delivery. I liked what he did with the song though; with all that rawness and edge, he took the song away from the Chad Kroeger arena and made it his own.

# 02. Magni: I seriously do not understand how did this guy land in the bottom three? I admit I’m not a huge David Bowie fan but Magni did a great job on the performance night with Starman. And he totally blew me away with his intense performance of Radiohead’s Creep during the elimination show. Hate to admit it but he did a better job at giving the song soul, depth and emotion and showcasing his vocal prowess than Lukas did with the same song last week.

#03. Ryan: Mr. Intensity earned his second encore of the season for his stellar performance of Phil Collins’ In the Air Tonight. He blasted it out, doing the song with a whole lot of passion. I’m beginning to like this guy.

The Remaining Performances:
Toby: Talk about commitment and Toby’s naked butt comes to mind! His running around the pool naked to land a gig with Gilby was hilarious. As for his performance, the guy did a decent job with Peter Gabriel’s Salisbury Hill. I liked the bongo part. Toby’s a nice guy but he clearly fades in comparison to Lukas and Magni.

Storm: A hung-over choice of a disco song ultimately resulted in Storm hitting an all time low on Rock Star stage. I still like the girl though. She’s not a fake. And I love the way this girl handles pressure.

Patrice: She has been a bottom three regular and her performance of Message in a Bottle gave her the ‘sting’ again this week. She has talent, no doubt about that, but… If she manages to land in the bottom three again next week, she’ll get the hatchet for sure.

Zayra: I can’t believe I’m saying this but I liked her idea of going down doing her own stuff. Even found myself liking her performance of her Spanish song.

That's it for this week. Stay tuned for next week's recap – that is if Supernova does not completely piss me off the show with another cheesy performance. In that case, this might be my last Supernova post.

And before I sign off, here're an animated Dilana avatar I'd made recently. I know there are quite a number of Dilana fans out there; so feel free to use it if you like it. Here's one of my favourite contestant Lukas' too, though I don't think any of my fellow bloggers like ol' Chucky. Ah, never mind!
