***ROCKSTAR: Supernova*** (spoilers welcome)

[cardaway]

Count me in as somebody who thought the show on Wednesday night was live, at least on the East Coast.

 

[Dianewes]

Yup, they tape the elimination show at 9:00am PST so they can edit it before it goes on TV tonight..........I don't know how anyone could rock out at 9:00am.

WOW I am shocked that this is done so early and I am very mad that I peeked ...... But of course I love this show and can't wait to see the whole thing unfold!!

I get mad at myself for looking up the spoilers too but I just can't help myself - I'm not a very patient person and I can't wait until tonight -

 

[Sandy22]

Dang, I peeked too! Hmmm...interesting. Looking forward to seeing the show tonight.

 

[inaminute]

Hmmm...if they tape it at 9:00 a.m., then why did Dave and Tommy apologize to the censors for removing their shirts a couple of weeks ago? Why didn't they just edit it out if they thought anyone in charge would have a problem?

 

[mickey4ver]

I have noticed that on elimination night when they pick someone to sing with the band, that whole performance has the look of being "filmed" and not live....strange, but I say that everytime I see it...

Ok, back to see who is leaving.......hopefully not Toby

 

[chyam]

Man...........I am bummed, although I never envisioned Ryan as the lead for Supernova, I felt that he should have made it through a few more rounds, I was so hoping for Storm to go. And I guess Dilana's little episode caused her "favor" with the fans. Loved Lukas with the Supernova song tonight. I would still like to see Toby or Magni win though. So many great singers this year it has been difficult to chose just one.

 

[mickey4ver]

I so agree, didn't want Ryan to win it, but I think he was more deserving to stick around than the girls, especially Dilana....I stopped caring about her singing several songs back...and she is milking this "devil" stuff to the hilt...I would not be surprised to see her in the finals after all the "drama" she has caused. She is good for ratings too, that may be another reason they are keeping her...she is turning into Zayra...just to see how stupid she can be.

I'm still rooting for Magni or Toby...either of them to me are a great fit for this band.

 

[Jennasis]

WAY sorry to see Ryan go. I loved watching him reinvent himself each week. I think the band axed him because he hasn't developed a "style" yet. That and maybe the climbing all over the speakers and stage props!

SO thrilled Magni wasn't ever in the bottom 3...go Magni!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for the shows live v. tape. The show is taped "as-live". This means they run the whole thing, as if it were live, but just happen to be recording it. This way they can edit curse words and stuff out or add effects. There is no WAY the show is staged because the director and TD are CONSTANTLY butchering cuts and camera moves. They want that "live" look, and the amateur hour in the control room is certainly achieving that.

PS...I HATED Dilana's song tonight. She was totally lost midway through and that hopping around barefoot holding her skirt was just weird.

Lukas did ok w/Supernova. Not as much growling as , BUT I could not understand a darn word he was singing! I liked the tune though.

 

[Sandy22]

OK I have to say that I don't think Lukas is right for Supernova at all. He looked like a 12 year old playing dress-up in front of the band. He sounds good, he's certainly got a rock look but he's just so tiny looking!

Yeah, I made the comment too that I couldn't understand a word he was saying. I wasn't thrilled with the song. We had it Tivo'd and were watching last night's show when tonight's was airing, so I actually fast-forwarded through the song. Guess I won't be buying their CD if these are the best songs....

I think Ryan might have done himself in tonight. He really butchered that song. I didn't care much for last night's either, probably because of the piano crawl. He'll do well as the lead of a more subdued band, one where he can sit and play piano from time to time. That would never fit with these guys.

I'm shocked that it wasn't Storm tonight, even though I like her. She's had some tough songs lately, and she's handled them pretty well. But they've been really critical of her - and have been praising Ryan so much. I can't believe they picked him to go before her.

Dilana sounded horrible tonight. I thought she did a good job with 'Mother, Mother' last night - she portrayed the right attitude for the song - but like others have said, she seemed lost at some point.

I still want either Magni or Toby to win. Both did AWESOME this week, and I can easily see either one of them with the band. All of these 6 contestants are so talented, but Magni, Toby and Dilana are probably the best fit for the band. Dilana just seems too...uh...witchy... for them, and I don't see them as wanting to be on tour with that kind of chick (they're more the groupie chick types...)

I wanted Ryan to make it one more week, but as soon as I saw him climbing onto the speakers and the look on Gilby's face when he did it, I knew it was over for him. I liked Lukas singing the SN song, but I couldn't understand the lyrics. I'm glad for Magni, I thought he would win weeks ago, but after the B3 stuff, I started to waiver, but now I think he'll win this thing. I still like Toby though. Dilana whatever.

 

[CarolinaBlue]

OK I have to say that I don't think Lukas is right for Supernova at all. He looked like a 12 year old playing dress-up in front of the band.

Exactly what I thought while watching last night. I couldn't understand what he was saying either.

 

[jennyL]

I too think Ryan should have lasted another week or so. I'm really liking his original so much that I made it my ringback tone. LOL I think he'll be fine on his own.

I also haven't cared much for the Supernova songs. I'm not sure if its all the different singers or if they songs just aren't great. I'll be interested in seeing a finished product when they've taken the time to get the singer to sing them the way they want. LOL

So happy for Magni not being in the bottom three at all. I think at this point I'd liek to see Toby win it. Dilana just does nothing for me at all.

I was suprised that Ryan went home this week. But when it gets down to the performers who are really good, I am always suprised even though I know someone has to go home.

Ryan looked like he was acting when he climbed up on the speakers. Like it wasn't part of the song or mood, just that he wanted to do something dramatic.

I still like Dilana, but her song last night was horrible....she looked scary.

I'm glad Storm is still around. She is interesting and although I don't think she is going to win, she adds something to the show. However, does anyone else think that sometimes she acts manly? Sometimes she does stuff and I think, "I think she wants to be a man". (Not that there is anything wrong with that, its just weird) I don't know how to describe it, she is definitly an interesting person.

 

[cardaway]

Well I'm sure glad they didn't do a double elimination last night because IMO nobody "saved" themelves.

I liked Ryan's original song, and there were a couple performances that were OK, but overall I agreed he had to go. Especially after butchering Baba O'Reily like that.

Storm was better than the other two but I still think it was one of her worst performances.

Dilana was just terrible. I have no idea what she was trying to do.

I also happened to like Toby's encore better than what he did the night before.

And lastly, Lukas proved why he should have went home weeks ago. He looked silly performing with the band. What was even more sad is I think I might have liked that Supernove song over the other two. Let Lukas come back for for another season when they are looking for a brooding, mush mouthed, Bat Caver.

 

[declansdad]

I too was surprised that Ryan was sent home and not Storm last night. I actually thought that both might be sent away. I think all the contestants are good singers but some are better than others.

Ryan's performances have gotten better but his stage performance seems to be forced.

I like Storm but she has struggled with some songs and frankly she scares me a bit with her weirdness.

Magni has given some very good performances but I see him fronting a band more in the vein of Cold Play or Live not one that has the potential to be much heavier.

Toby is a good singer but not great. I think most of his support is because of his connection with the female fans in the audience. I also thinks he looks a bit scared up on stage at times.

Dilana has lost some of her fans I think. Her comments and the reaction from the band seems to have taken their toll on her. Her reaction last night to be named as one of the possible bottom three was quite surprsing. It seemed to take away much of her confidence and she received a polite reception from the audience compared to the other four.

Lukas I think is the most rounded of all the performers. He is able to change up his voice when needed and moves around the stage better than the others. Of all the Supernova performances so far I think he looked the most right with the band. As for not being able to understand what he was saying, I find that they are all like that except Storm.

The only two that I can see fronting this band are Lukas and Dilana.

 

[Crankyshank]

I thought all of the performances, except for the encore, sucked last night. Including the SN song. If anything I learned that if Lukas wins, I will not purchase any SN cds or see their concert. I was completely bored out of my mind during his performance and couldn't understand a word he said.

Ryan gave the worst rendition of Baba O'Reily that I have heard in my life. that includes the cheesy cover bands that were free at various fairgrounds. I think his good-bye was extremely snarky too.

I totally agree with what you said. I am at your comments about Ryan.
