ROCK STAR: Supernova

Tommy Lee was the drug addled asshat...

Tommy never had the heroin habit that Mars and Sixx had. He and Neil were just alcoholics as far as I remember. You know, the "legal" addicts.

The thought that all 3 of these guys are 100% sober/clean is laughable.

I think it's a shame that Rock has become wussified.....I mean seriously what happened to the good ol' days when musicians would OD or die in some sort of aircraft accident....

The hard drugs have fallen out of fashion and the air travel has gotten a bit safer with improved technology and lessons learned from the past---don't overstuff the plane, forget to check the oil level, or hire a hack pilot with a drinking problem.

You just had to take the magic out of it........

Toby
Magni
Lukas
Dilana

Dilana was "in the lead" when they announced the early results last night with Toby in 2nd, Lukas in 3rd and Magni (who biffed it hardcore with his performance(s) last night) bringing up the rear.

Toby's original song drives me nuts. DUMB.

Magni = horrible last night. It's going to cost him. He'll be the first to go tonight.

Dilana...she runs around like someone shoved a hot sauce coated M80 up her ass. Her voice rocks but it's too 80's sounding for me. Not saying that she sounds like she's from the 80's but it just reminds me of an 80's band.

Lukas...last night's cover of "Fix You" by Coldplay was solid. His original song (he played acoustic) wasn't so good, I didnt think.

In summation...my money is still on Lukas. He owns the stage every time he performs.

Lukas is an anti-social headcase. He wont last long on the road and he wont look you in the eye. He is high maintenance, selfish onstage and standoffish. He would suck in interviews and under pressure. After a few songs his faux-falsetto gets annoying.

Dilana still rocks. Her mid-season bitchfest will kill her in the end. I think it would be cool to see them pick the chick, but they wont. Her softening of her hard-ass look and the rendition of Roxeanne helped her a lot.

Magni - I think he kicked the crap outa of 'Hush'. His original is 'meh'. I think he can be a little vanilla but at this point his voice is tight. He might pull this off but I think my money is on...

Toby - to win. He does have voice, even if it is a bit radio redundant. But in the Grand Scheme? He has the chops, he has the look, he has the personality, he can write a decent song, he would be fun to be around on the road, he would work well in interviews, and chicks dig him.

I hate admit that I've been following the show. But I think Dilana has the strongest voice (although she seems to be self-centered b*tch). My wife says Lukas looks too much like Eddie Munster to get the final nod.

I still think Magni's voice fits the band best. He's a total hard rock/metal singer - plus he's from Iceland, which just screams "metal" to me. Yes, his original was weak, but do you really think he's going to be doing that much writing with those guys?

Lukas sounds far too much like a Thom Yorke (only without the chops) wannabe for any band with Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke and Jason Newstead.

Toby doesn't work for me either - at least with that band, although I think he's the best front man/singer of the final 4. He should have been on last year, in which case he would be fronting INXS right now.

Dilana can flat out belt out a rock song. I think Tommy's got a bit of a rock-star crush on her too. My money is on her or Magni.

Those would be my preferences. We'll know something pretty shortly.

Lucas won. Dilana was second.

I really think they made the wrong choice - for their band anyway. I just don't like the fit. And I reiterate, Toby would have obliterated JD from last year and would be singing for INXS right now instead of going home.
