Rockstar Supernova - The Week Of Ten
Down to ten singers left, and nobody wanted to take the song ("Won't Get Fooled Again") that came with a performance by one of the band. Finally, Dilana took it, and pretty much won the contest right there. She absolutely killed with it. Game over. Meeting adjourned.
Jill unveiled her inner Alanis, which didn't suck. She finished by going into the audience. The fact that nobody groped her is a bad sign.
For "Paint It Black," Ryan came out of the crowd, dressed like a hooded Goth-dude, then threw back the hood to reveal a mask painted on his face. That's a little too far into Scott Weiland-artfreak territory for me. When you do creepy weird stuff like that, it just drives home your uncanny resemblance to David Blaine.
Storm got stuck with a Queen song that's not only overplayed, but damn near impossible to cover. Let's see, we've had the Who, the Stones, and Queen. How about a cover song by somebody from the last thirty years?
Not yet, Zayra draws a Mott the Hoople song. Who's picking these covers, Don Kirshner? She performed in a giant top hat, dressed like an Oscar statuette with enormous boots on. The car wreck continues.
Josh got up to sing, and Tommy Lee stopped him to come over and play drums. If you will watch the tape, you can spot the exact moment Josh's testicles recede. He vanished like vapor on stage standing in front of Tommy. Not a good sign.
Magni, in front of his family, performs with just an acoustic guitar, leading Dave to complement him on being the "first singer to stand up there, by yourself, unaccompanied, and deliver a song." Well, except for Ryan, who did the exact same thing last week with a solo rendition on piano. Dave's been on the road a while, he's not much for long term memory.
Patrice decided to wear her brown hair in two pigtails on the top corners of her head tonight, making her look just like a yorkshire terrier.
Not to be outdone, Lukas unveiled his secret weapon tonight, and performed wearing Peter Gallagher's eyebrows.
Toby then played "Burning Down The House," getting at least some of the lyrics out. Then, he pulled out the megaphone and stepped into goofy unintentional rockstar humor.
Bottom three predictions: Josh, Zayra, Jill

Two things. Okay, three.
1. I said the EXACT same sentence word for word about Patrice.
2. Ryan was accompanied, the piano guy was making violin noises and such, you just couldn't see him.
3. Who's your top three?
I think I sent you a song with Zayra singing on it. "Come in Closer" with Blue October. She definitely is not Supernova material but can pull of the weird Portishead stuff.
I think Zayra is spectacular as a frontman, and okay as a singer. I just think she's completely the wrong fit for a Tommy Lee band.
But she's a weird enough fit that she's interesting to watch, at least.
I'm biased to the bone on this one. I love Storm! I've seen her and the Balls play small venues in Bend Oregon many times and was blown away every time. Always thought she was too big for the small stage. Go Storm!
