Reid About It

We're down to the next-to-last show, and we've got four contestants left. We start with the Viewer's Choice song.


Dilana gets to introduce Ryan, which is a strange juxtaposition. Ryan's off the show, and Dilana is still in the final three. However, it was her dealings with Ryan that led more people to pay attention to him, and really start hating her. Ryan's triumphant return winds up with him getting a new car. Dilana's Supernova career will either wind up with her fronting the band, or playing at county fairs.

Ryan's album is called "Dark Horse." I assume Dave Navarro gets a cut of each album. He does his "Back Of Your Car" song. Whatever the Hell happened in the back of that car makes him scream a lot.

Toby starts us off with a Radiohead song.

I'd like to take a moment to say that Radiohead is my absolute favorite band that everyone tells me is great, but I have never listened to. Not even once.

Toby's doing his song again. It's catchy still, but wouldn't it make more sense to make them sing another song they wrote? Lots of singers had one good song in them. Let's hear the follow-up. One hit single's not going to pay Tommy Lee's pool insurance.

Magni joins Toby onstage, and Toby rewards him by writing on his bald head.

A quick crowd shot shows Paula Abdul has shown up drunk, and is in the wrong studio again.

Lukas does a Coldplay song, wearing enough eyeliner to embarrass RuPaul. With his chicken walk and stage presence, Lukas looks for all the world like Mick Jagger mated with a chimp.

Once again, he does his song about his mom. Doesn't Lukas have any other relatives we can hear vague crappy songs about?

Dilana takes the stage to a chorus of indifference from the crowd. That's not good. If they remember they don't like you, but not to hate you, it's a bad sign. People loved or hatred Nirvana. People were indifferent towards the Wallflowers. You've got to make people feel something.

The other three singers back her up on the chorus of "Roxanne". Magni is now wearing a toboggan on his head. I wonder if that was a Sharpie Toby wrote "EVS" on his head with?

Dilana's cover is worse than the Police, but better than Eddie Murphy in "48 Hours".

Dilana does her original, and absolutely kills with it. She just reminded everybody why she's made it this far, in spite of the public relations screw-ups. She's back in the game.

Magni does a Deep Purple song, then his original. Neither really stands out, although his cover of a Deep Purple song probably does more to help their catalog than his career.

Tommy says he doesn't remember anything about Magni's song. Tommy also doesn't remember the entire "Theatre of Pain" tour, getting that tattoo on his privates, or where he left the dirty videos of himself.

Bottom Three: Lukas, Lukas, and Magni.

Prediction: Lukas is too young. Dilana has already short-circuited herself. Magni is the only one of enough age that he wouldn't look weird standing in front of the band, but Toby draws the babes. Toby walks away with it.
