Rockstar Supernova: The Grand Finale
Here we go, with the grand finale, sixty minutes from the end of my summer fascination. Brooke explains the rules for the final show. Everybody's on the hot seat but Dilana.
Magni starts us off, and they've broken out the big pyro for the final show.
Then we get Toby, who appears to be wearing a Nehru Jacket.
Neither cover is particularly strong, but Toby gets the crowd singing to remind the band that people like him, and chicks dig him. That should do it.
The band votes, and Magni is off. Dave says "awesome" again for the second time in fifteen minutes.
A video package airs for Lukas, which shows him basically having a seizure every single week.
Dilana gets her video package, and looks very impressive. She says everybody else is great, but she's better, and the crowd loves it. That's why it's okay to run down other people in the entertainment industry, the public doesn't pay attention.
In Toby's video, there's lots of happy girls. That's what I'm basing my decision on.
Last three performances, and in honor of the final show, Brooke appears to be wearing a Xena costume.
Lukas does "Bittersweet Symphony," which was probably his best cover. He still looks like a guy who would have been in a band that Tommy Lee would have beaten the crap out of in a bar twenty years ago. Dilana gets to do "Zombie." Toby finishes the season with "Somebody Told Me."
All three singers had one last chance to make their case to be in the band, and all three picked songs that sound nothing like the music that Supernova will be playing.
Elimination time, and they cut Toby. That's shows you why I am not a professional oddsmaker. Toby is very polite, and goes off to get knee deep in women and money.
We're down to the two shortest possible contestants. They make us wait...and give us Lukas.
Lukas is 29. Tommy is 43. Tommy had lost his virginity by the time Lukas was born. Tommy's going to want to get laid after the show, and Lukas is only going to draw Goth chicks. I can't see this working out.
Gilby offers to produce Dilana's album for her. Not sure how much of a big selling point that is. This is the guy who helped shape the timeless sound that was L.A. Guns.
Lukas mumbles his way through two songs with the band, and welcomes Magni back to join them. Why doesn't the band just let Magni join on rhythm guitar?
Roll to credits, fade. I've spent an entire summer following this band, and now I wouldn't pay more than eight bucks to see them if I had two free drink coupons.

My sentiments exactly, I didn't even really care about this last show. I know that no matter who won, I would never own or even steal a Supernova song. So why did I watch?
You watched because we're all drawn in by a charismatic frontman/woman. That's why the contest was for singers, not for bass players.
However, Lukas has killed that. I'd go see a solid band with a good singer, or an especially talented musician. Supernova, or whatever they're going to call themselves, isn't a group of outstanding musicians. They're all capable, but they don't stand out. If they had a good frontman, I'd see them.
Now, not so much.
I am completely underwhelmed. I really didn't think they would pick Lukas. He just doesn't fit. He's too glam and he sounds like a damned goat when he sings. If I had to hear him bleat out "You make my he-he-head spin" one more time... good god, no wonder his mom hates him. With all that makeup he wears, I hope their tour is sponsored by Cover Girl or they're in big trouble.
I agree w/ Marrissa, I don't think any of their songs will even be worth stealing. Now Toby's song, on the other hand... I may even BUY his song from itunes. What a cutie!
