After INXS-Queen?
Feb 12, 2006

ROCK STAR WANNABES IN these parts, who dream of slugging it out in the phenomenal reality TV show "Rock Star," will get that chance when Star World holds Asian auditions in April, said a network executive.
"But our Hong Kong office is still not saying where in Asian country it will be held," said Sasa Tan Carlos, marketing manager of Cable Technology Asia Corp., a member of Star Group Limited.
Last season's "Rock Star," produced by Mark Burnett Productions ("The Apprentice," "Survivor," "The Contender") and aired twice a week on Star World, was a worldwide search for a new lead singer for top '80s band INXS from Australia.
Auditions for the previous season were conducted on six continents, excluding Asia, noted Carlos.
"I think the show's producers were very impressed with the overwhelming interest that the show generated in Asia during the first season," she said.
Early speculation is that the next search will be for a replacement for the late Freddie Mercury, front man of the legendary British rock group, Queen.
"Network executives are tight-lipped," said Carlos. "But they have announced that the new season will carry the same format and run for 26 episodes."
She added that last season's hosts, Brook Burke and Dave Navarro, will be retained.
Carlos also said that, in the event Asian contenders make it to the final round, they will be flown to the United States in May.
"Rock Star" features an elimination format similar to Fox's "American Idol." Judging is based on viewer's SMS votes as well as ratings given by members of the featured band.
The winner will join the band on a worldwide concert tour and collaborate on the group's new album.
Last season's winner is Canadian JD Fortune. The 11-week search ended in September. Fortune is now touring with INXS.
Fortune figured in a three-way fight for the title with American Marty Casey and Fil-Aussie MiG Ayesa.

"Rockstar - Queen"?
I find this very troubling, at best. Queen, and all their majesty, should be left as is. They're too important a band. INXS is relatively insignificant. Plus, gay ol' Freddie's shoes are too big to fill.
Still, i must admit i am interested in seeing how this will fare if it pushes through.
Maybe they should do a Rockstar-Van Halen. :o

"...Auditions for the previous season were conducted on six continents, excluding Asia, noted Carlos"
...six continents excluding Asia? Di ba 7 lang ang continents? So they had auditions in Antarctica becuase they had none in Asia? ;D

i agree. Michael Hutchence's achievements in rock music are nothing compared to Freddie Mercury's. besides, Queen has already achieved legendary status in rock history and they're already up there alongside Aerosmith and the like. they've got all the money in the world. i don't think they would ever need this sort of attention.
dapat Rockstar-Guns N' Roses na lang. =)
-
i also felt the late Freddie Mercury is too big to be replaced by a newbie. i doubt if Brian May would allow that. btw, i've read somewhere Queen is now touring with Paul Rogers, that great rocker formerly with Bad Company, taking over Freddie's part in the group. the situation is fluid though.

'Star' sets rockers
Reality skein to birth new band
By JOSEF ADALIAN, Variety
CBS' Rock Star is adding some heavy mettle to its lineup this summer.
Drummer Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), along with guitarists Jason Newsted (Metallica) and Gilby Clarke (Guns N' Roses), are forming a new band called Supernova and will use the Mark Burnett-produced Rock Star to search for a lead singer.
Season one had the surviving members of INXS on the hunt for someone to replace the late Michael Hutchence.
In addition, Rock Star has signed songwriter-performer Butch Walker to produce Supernova's first album, to be released just before the new band hits the road in 2007. Walker, named Rolling Stone's 2005 "hot" producer, has written or produced tracks for Avril Lavigne, Pink, Bowling for Soup and Tommy Lee.
Dave Navarro and Brooke Burke will return as hosts. Each weekly segseg will also now feature guest appearances by celebs or rockers.
"Friends of mine, like Slash, Macy Gray, Moby and Rob Zombie, will join us and throw in their two cents about who should stay and who should go," Navarro said.
-
dapat Rockstar-Guns N' Roses na lang. =)
How about Rock Band: Axl Rose? ;D
-
Star World will air Rock Star: Supernova (http://rockstar.msn.com/rockstar/supernova) soon.
-
well cant wait to see this one as i am a crue fan, a metallica fan and a gnr fan. kind of curious how this thing will sound like.
-
Search starts this July.
Dave Navarro and Brooke Burke are still the hosts, plus the 3 bandmembers. Read in the website that each week, they would invite different rock personalities to help them. There are some unconfirmed talks that they invited Suzy ( the blond female rocker who was able to reach the TOP 4 of the INXS search) to audition and join the search.

Why Rock Star is better than American Idol (http://www.nj.com/columns/ledger/sepinwall/index.ssf?/base/columns-0/115207384957580.xml&coll=1)
I found out from this article that Chris Daughtry applied for this show last season and was rejected. :o
-
'Season-four "Idol" rocker Chris Daughtry auditioned for "Rock Star" last summer and was rejected. That's because, while he was great at the one thing he did (growling bleak lyrics while looking like a serial killer), it was the only thing he either could or wanted to do.'
Best description EVER. ;D
-
Maybe I have higher expectations but most of the contestants did not impress me right away.
[spoilers]Only one performance stood out for me: Josh Logan covering The Black Crowes' She Talks to Angels. Although she wasn't as impressive as Jordis in jumpstarting the show with a Who song, I gotta love her name: Storm Large![/spoilers]
-
saw the show this morning and I agree... first show wasn't too impressive... they might get better though as the show progresses... I just have the impression that too many of the contestants seem to have a 'manufactured' rocker image/persona for the contest with most of them too over the top... ::)
-

Best description EVER. ;D
they neglected to mention his over-inflated ego? awwww... i'm disappointed. LOL. :-[
-
storm large looks like an older lindsay lohan. ;)
-
parang bitin. but is it just me, but i think the girls sound better than the the guys.
-
Seriously:
Can you guys see Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted and Gilby Clarke choosing a female as the lead vocalist for their band?
I honestly can't see their masculine egos handling that... unless they wanna bang her or something. ;D
-
not in a million years. wouldn't work with the kind of ego tommy lee has.
-

With the type of music they'd been playing with their former bands... not likely...
Tommy Lee was already giving the girl who sang that Melissa Ethridge song the 'evil eye' ;D ;D She's hot
-
I think Brooke Burke is an excellent cast for the host. She is relaxed and cool, an outstanding contrast to the screams and anxst of the contestants and sometimes SuperNova band members.
Why is it that Rockers have this compulsive desire to have to act 'bad', I understand the tatoos and body piercings help with the overall 'image' and aura that they want to portray, but even their actions ba dapat? They have to keep flashing the fork hand, they have to put their feet up on the table or chair like Chinamen and have to generally act like overgrown kids. Can't they be comfortable with their star status because of just the excellent music that they can churn out? I'm a fan of the show, but not really of the musical genre, I think the contestants are incredibly talented.
Judging from last season, it is incredibly ironic that for a reality show, these 'rockers' get a long well with each other compared with contestants of other reality shows. They seem to be gentlemen and women off the stage, like giving way in their song selections, encouraging and supporting each other...
I also agree that they won't pick a girl.
-
i dunno... that dilana gal seems like she can party like she's one of the guys. LOL.
-
and as ive said before, sounds better than the other guys along with storm and patrice(?)...
-
^ so true... i kinda liked that guy who sang "knockin on heaven's door" tho. pero i see him more as a solo act than fronting a band. :-\
-
the guy who sang she talks to angels, jason(?) sounds good also, though he still has to prove if he can do heavy. chris, the guy who butchered roxanne certainly looks the rock star part. while the guy that was booted out deserved it. he was more new wave than rock!!! and his choice of songs certainly did not help any. duran duran and coldplay? definitely not in the league of the mighty metallica or crue or gnr.
-
The last guy who sang? Gunning for JD 2.0? He and Supernova seems MFEO. ;D
-
^^
heavy eye make up guy?... whose "rebel yell" drew raves from supernova?? uh, more ego than talent from what i heard... but we'll see.
he scares me tho. LOL.
-
The show was a lot better than last week. A must-see if only for one performance...
[spoilers]Dilana was DA BOMB! It was only the second episode and we already have one of the show's greatest moments. I raved about Josh Logan last week but he disappointed me today with his choice of Creed. He was also showing us that he's more suited for R&B than rock. Rock Star: Maroon 5? ;D Some rockers tend to become gimmicky like Jill's take on Hole. It's okay as long as their vocals make up for it like Storm's take on Cheap Trick. Lukas was brave to take on Coldplay but I didn't dig the result. Chris (for his flowery shirt), Phil (no stage presence) and Josh should be in the bottom three[/spoilers]
-
That Lucas guy is bugging me. Can you say rocker poseur? Everything about him just looks so put on.
Dilana on the other hand is freaking awesome. They should just stop the contest now and give the gig to that woman.
-
I agree... Lucas is really a poser - the look, the attitude, etc... - if you looked up "poser" in the dictionary, Lucas's picture should be right beside it... ;D
BTW, has anyone tried Googling "Storm Large?" Try it an you'll find some interesting pics -- not pretty but interesting... ;D
-
wow. she actually owns her own domain name.
she's more prolific than i thought. :o
i'm really not too keen on her ... but her "recording voice" is actually much better than i initially thought.
-
Storm's face reminds me of a grown up version of Lindsay Lohan.
Pretty but gritty.
Dilana is obviously a pro.
-
Zayra is such a cockroach. Is Mark Burnett forcing the band to retain her for the ratings? I want Dilana to win but will she be right for the band? She's the only reason I still tune in. It's really funny that the sassy ones are the contestants who are not even worthy of being in the competition. I notice that there are more finalists with rotten attitudes this season.
-
Nanghinayang ako hindi si Zayra natanggal. compared to Phil Ritchie. mas gusto ko matanggal si Zayra.
-
really cannot explain that either. i was expecting her to be kicked out finally after three weeks of being in the bottom three. maybe the whole of puerto rico is voting for her. as for favorites, it's a long shot but my favorites are the ladies. dilana and storm. speaking of storm, i dont see the lindsay lohan resemblance. i see more of a kim catrall resemblance. and speaking of resemblances, i think patrice kinda looks like alanis morissette naman...
-
This is the reason why Zayra stayed this week. Was not seen on TV:
Even with a good half hour of dialogue cut -- the Gilby/Jill sparring, for example, went on at least twice as long as shown -- you got the gist of it. But I know there's one blank that needs filling right now:
After the Hatchet Man chopped Phil, you all saw him standing there saying his final words to them. What you didn't see was Dave suddenly piping up with "Do you get newspapers up at the Mansion, Phil?"
"No."
"Well," says Dave, "we do. Let me read you something." He whips out a newspaper and proceeds to read from an interview with Phil, in which Mr. Ritchie states that the reason he’s doing the show is to promote himself and his own band. What’s more, he doesn’t even like Supernova’s music!
Phil is taken aback when confronted by this, but does admit that he didn’t like “the Supernova riff” (or something like that). Tommy, meanwhile, looks like he’s just been stabbed in the heart. (You can see a shot like this in the show.) He turns to the other Rockers and warns ALL of them NOT to make the band or their work look bad with the media or in the press. Gilby then tells Phil that Tommy was absolutely devastated to be letting him go and that he hadn't wanted to do it.
This is the article in question: http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060718/LIFE/607180315/1005
Ritchie said one of the drawbacks of the show is that he gets to perform only covers of songs.
"It's definitely weird from playing my original music for years. We played covers back in the day, but we've been strictly original for four years now," Ritchie said. "I hate playing covers. ... I've done it for years though, and I'm not worried about it."
Ritchie said his primary goal in competing is to promote his band.
"I mean, really I just hope to gain exposure. ... I'm not stoked about the music Supernova's popping out."
He said he knows if he wins the competition he's obligated to tour with the band.
"I love my boys back home, but you know I still have to look out for myself in this world," he said. "I've got to create opportunities for myself, and this is too huge an opportunity to say no to."
Ritchie said the competition is stiff.
-
^^ talk about putting your own foot in your mouth. nice going, phil... not! :-[
-
I'm going for Dilana.
The band is composed of 3 accomplished musicians with 1 of them a certified showboat. No one newbie, male or female, will "lead" this band. What they need is someone who can sing the kind of songs they make and attract an audience. I think Dilana fits the bill.
Lukas is fine but he may have an ego problem. Besides, he doesn't add anything to the band. Strip away that goth makeup and he's just a short kid with a growly voice and a rockstar complex. Dilana is (and looks) "damaged" enough to be a rockstar but grounded and disciplined enough to be a professional musician. Plus she looks good, even with all that metal on her face.
-
today's show rocked... best so far, in my opinion. ;D
-
So that's what a whole episode looks like.
Anyway here are my bottom three for this week:
Patrice - She may sound good live, but hearing it on the TV was just plain pathetic. Or maybe it's just the fact that nobody else can do justice to Higher Ground except for Anthony Keidis and Stevie Wonder. When Chris Daughtry did it on American Idol, everybody was all praises back then, but I still thought it sucked.
Magni - Didn't the Nova guys notice him struggling during the falsetto parts?
Lukas - I just don't see what they see in him.
My Top Three:
Ryan - I will be downloading the s**t out of his version
Storm - She makes me regret not watching the show from the beginning
Josh - He was just ayt for me, but nobody else deserved to be on my top 3 this week.
-
What did Zayra sing tonight? I didn't catch the title and I'm not familiar with the song.
-
Wasn't it All the Young Dudes by David Bowie? Jill Gioia should be sent home tomorrow since we know they would keep Zayra to boost ratings.
-
to be fair... zayra didn't completely suck this week... there were moments when she actually sounded like shakira. she needs to sing in her lower registers more. :P
if it were up to me ... it is LUKAS who should go. vocally, he's the weakest. and as for showmanship, i am not impressed... total poseur. however, my guess is it will be patrice. she is just plain boring. she doesn't light up the stage at all. (and people in TV land can see that) which is a shame because she is one of the few "auditionees" who can actually sing.
at this point of the competition. i have to say that i am impressed with the vocal abilities of dilana, magni, toby, patrice and josh... i'm guessing these are the 5 who will have AMAZING recording voices. ;)
Edited to add: my 3000 post... or at least... the ones that count. LOL... YAY! :P
-
The axe fell twice this week! :o
Latest casualties are Jill and Josh.
-
Good riddance! Jill totally deserved the boot. Josh may have a good voice but he didn't try to rock at all. What was he doing in this competition in the first place?
Next week, what will Zayra be up to once they're in Vegas? ;D
-

Josh seems to be out of place indeed but he still is a very cool person. Musically he could have added a different layer to Supernova but it doesn't seem to be the direction Supernova is intended to go.
Zayra and Patrice seems to be the next.
Magni's family was sent all the way from Iceland to US, then he performed an encore twice now. He must be one of the tough contenders in Supernova's mind.
-
Jill isn't a rocker at heart, kaya mukhang "trying hard." Pag sumablay, halata. She does have a powerful voice, though.
Josh is good and would've been perfect if Supernova wanted to go a more bluesy route. Either way, madidiscover iyang taong iyan because of the show.
-
Josh is booooring with a capital B. He's the type of guy who is more at home with a band that plays boring music like Maroon 5.
Jill is a great singer but needs to be packaged differently. I see her making an album a la Diamanda Gallas -- rock opera!!
I hope to see Patrice (looks like a menopausal rocker trying to be hip), Lukas (Poseur number 1 and a one-trick eye-linered pony) and Ryan (Poseur number 2) getting the boot next time.
Zayra sucks but she's entertaining so she should be cut the last among the "not-worthies".
My final three would be Toby, Dilana and Magni. If Supernova really has balls they should get Dilana as their singer. Sure she writes lyrics that are so cheeky but the voice and showmanship is killer.
-
amen din ako dyan sa mga sinabi mo bro!
sa akin naman ang gusto ko 1) Dilana 2) Magni 3)Storm.(for the killer appeal he!he!)
but of course, even if Dilana does not get it, will buy her album if ever. Naalala ko sa kanya is the image of "what if Cindy Lauper turned to hard rock?" he!he!

nice comparison with josh and maroon 5... was thinking the same thing.
i can actually see jill doing dance like anastacia.
LOL... while i like ryan.... the kid just seems way too intense. he rarely smiles and when he does, it seems too... uhm, "ingenuine"?
amen din ako dyan sa mga sinabi mo bro!

dilana is a beautiful girl... if only she'd get rid of the metal on her face. LOL.
personally... i see her, magni and toby leading this pack.
zayra's hella entertaining tho... keep her in... please! LOL.
-
I actually like all of that s h i t on Dilana's face. I think it makes her more sexy and makes you wonder at the same time "can she also rock my world in bed?"
-
Dilana vs Magni for me.
Storm might steal it though. ;D
-
Storm's sexy and all but I'm already counting her out. She's not right for the group. She's definitely going to get a phone call from Tommy Lee though.
Having said that... I am absolutely bothered that Jason Newsted is with Gilby and Tommy. Gilby I can live with... sort of. But Tommy Lee's not even a great drummer. I feel that Jason's the odd man out in this trio because the guy is a work horse and not flamboyant -- he is a musician and not a "rocker".
-
^^ OT: I sure do miss Jason in Metallica.
-
I like Storm Large but she is a Big No-No to Supernova, my Money goes to Magni.....
-
newsted will probably do one record with supernova and that's it. im just wondering what happened to his echobrain project. didnt it pan out?
-
I'm so glad I'm not the only one wondering why Zayra is still around. but you guys are right, for sheer entertainmetn value, she gets to stay until the last possible moment.
i didn't understand at first why josh got the boot (jill wasn't a surprise), because patrice doesn't have "it". but i guess she's more of a rocker.
-
Supernova was unfairly harsh to Storm earlier. She was not that bad and was in fact, better than some performers (e.g. Lukas, who sounded even worse than Chad Kroeger) the band inexplicably praised.
-
I think the producers want Lukas The Forehead to stay for a few more episodes because he brings conflict -- however lame -- to the show.
What a frigging poseur. X and I were watching his performance and we were both cringing. Bad singer with a bad haircut.
-
Lukas' performance reminded me of the singing blind beggars in the streets he!he!
masyado naman harsh iyung comments nila kay Storm. It's hard to change the arrangement of an iconic song. Sensitive din siya na hindi mababoy yung kanta or maka offend ng iba.
Didn't like Zayra's song in a sense na hindi bagay iperform sa ganung show. Bigay na lang niya kay shakira baka mas maganda pa lumabas. he!he!
-
Spot on comments, bro. Lukas' performance was soo bad, I was surprised the supernova guys didn't see it. It must be ecstasy night at the gig. But then if it was, then they wouldn't have skewered Lindsay Lohan, I mean Storm, in that manner. I thought it was decent.
Another cringe-worthy performance was Ryan Star's. Now I know why I don't like the guy when he performs -- all that supposed "intensity" is for show. You can see it in the eyes. He's obviously thinking about it. Compare that to Dilana who is intense whatever she does because it is in her nature. That's why she is gelling so well with the band.
Stop the contest already and give the d a m n gig to Dilana!
-
[spoilers]Ding dong, the b**ch is dead!
Love the new Supernova song, especially with Dilana as lead singer.
Magni and Patrice performed songs done by Lukas in previous episodes and they both kicked his ass![/spoilers]
-
lemme just say that patrice and magni made lukas "the stinky skunk" look like a rank amateur. (magni especially)... i hope this is a wake-up call to the voting public on just how baaaaaaaaad lukas is.
while totally expected... i was a little sad on who left today. the show just got 50% less interesting... it's gonna be hella predictable now. :-[
-
oo nga pareng Indie. actually, sobrang forgettable performance ni Ryan that I don't remember commenting about him. As if he wasn't part of the show.(he!he!) Tinanong nga ako ni mrs ano kinata hindi ko maalala.(considering a lot of people know the phil collins song)
mami miss ko "attire" and performance intensity of Zayra. he!he! Top A for Amusing.
I was hoping si Patrice na lang. I don't see Patrice singing more than 1 song(eg. singing in a concert) I get tired watching her finish a song. Her predictable performance is monotonous to the point that you want to go to the loo or grab a beer.
They should have let Zayra stay for entertainment purposes and let go Patrice. Then Ryan! he!he!
-
Dilana with Supernova rocks!!!!
"Who says a girl can't front Supernova?!"
Next week is it Magni's turn to rock with Supernova?
I wonder how Storm will sound like with Supernova?
Have you guys seen the blogs of the contestants? It seems Lukas has a big fan base.
-
Have you guys seen this?
Rockstar Supernova (Week 4 Elimination)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjsyPLu_1bg
buti nalang 20 feet away si Tommy kay Phil ;D
-
I missed the encore and the Supernova performance this morning and only caught the tail end of the conversation with Dilana and Lukas. Man, Lukas has to freaking go. I don't think a band with three men who have established rock careers should even consider an obvious poseur, he'd just look like a high school student trying to play air guitar in his bedroom. Lukas only has a smidgen of talent and the only thing that he has loads of is that "rockstar swagger" that we see on practically every single juvenile rocker.
I am surprised that Toby does not seem to have that big of a fanbase if he is always threatened to be included in the bottom three. Aside from Dilana, he's the only other contestant that looks like he'll be a good fit to Supernova.
-
I wonder if the hit job on dilana (emphasizing all the not so "telegenic" things she said) was deliberate. and why? the producers of the show could have chosen not to highlight her remarks, or choose to edit it out.
-
Fans of dilana are up in arms in the various forums. They feel that it was a deliberate hack job in order to "even out" the playing field. The fans are saying that dilana is an overwhelming favorite and at this point the producers wanted a "competition" so they wanted to bring Dilana a notch or two by putting her in a bad light.
I think it was obviously a deliberate ploy of the producers of the show. Lukas The Forehead continually badmouths all of the other contestants (as seen in previous episodes) but he was spared the kind of editing Dilana received this week.
Conspiracy theorists are also saying that it may be a ploy of the Supernova guys because they obviously do not want a female singer to front the band. If you'd notice the interview last night, not one of the guys mentioned anything about Dilana's behavior, it was all Dave and his incessant grilling.
-
Apparently, the smackdown of Dilana lasted for more than half-an-hour according to the people in the taping. It looks like Dilana and Lukas, the Lemur King have the most rabid fans online. No way they'll be in the bottom three. Next week, it looks like Storm may finally end up in the bottom three along with Toby and Magni. That may be her last week since the band does not seem to see her as a strong contender.
-
An insider claims she knows who won Rockstar: Supernova (http://janetcharltonshollywood.com/gossip/reality/supernova_super_scoop_20060827.php). Click the link if you wish to find out. If this were true, they all deserve each other. ;D
-
After last week's show(with the Dilana/Lukas wordfest), already thought they would pick the guy.
He is trashy and fits well with Tommy's crew he!he!
Looking at fan votes, website/blog popularity, poseur image plus other gossipy intrigue > if these factors generate massive ticket and cd sales....
What I will be interested in is how long Jason stays. he!he!
-
^ I'd like to quote David Letterman on who won Supernova: "WHAT?!"
-
The bottom three as of the end of the show was Lukas, Storm and Ryan. I agree with that and I hope that will also be the result for tomorrow. Toby, Magni and Dilana should be the final three.
From all of the negative airtime Dilana was getting I was quite sure she would suck tonight but lo and behold! She kicked major a s s again!
-
The band earned my respect back. They saw through another poseur and sent *** packing. Bravo! ;)
-
The band earned my respect back. They saw through another poseur and sent *** packing. Bravo! ;)
Can't wait to watch it tonight.
-
I don't watch the show anymore because my prayers to Lord Satan to make Dilana die a slow painful death has remained unanswered. And since she is still in the show, I am led to believe that The Devil no more hears my prayers. May be time to revert to Christianity.
-
Can't wait to watch it tonight.
Just a warning though: almost all the performances sucked. That elimination and (maybe) the encore were the only high points. The new song from the band was performed by someone who seemed to be "belching the alphabet (quote from another viewer)."
Some may need an antidote to a song that was butchered (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzEadbTCKDA&embed=1) by a supposed frontrunner.
-
I was tempted to look at rockstar.msn.com, but nevermind....I'll still watch it tonight. All the performances sucked? They should have made a triple elimination so we can all go on with our lives.
-
The band earned my respect back. They saw through another poseur and sent *** packing. Bravo! ;)
You could be right bro . But it looks like I'm going to have to start voting next week...
-
The band earned my respect back. They saw through another poseur and sent *** packing. Bravo! ;)
i dunno. i never got that "poseur" vibe from this person. but then ... totally wrong for the band, so i'm not at all disappointed.
this person does need to lighten up tho... waaaaay too "intense". ::)
-
I'm still confused about Dilana's trip to the bottom three. If it was really fan backlash for her bad move last week I still don't get it. What was really so irritating was that Lukas was jumping on this opportunity like a hyena. Kind of two-faced if you ask me since he was not afraid to give his opinions about the other rockers' performances were before and I still remember what he said during one elimination where he felt that the wrong person was eliminated -- a pointed dig at Zayra.

You mean he wasn't orchestrating the "spontaneous" guitar smash (after Tommy has suggested it to Magni earlier) and last night's "amp-climbing?" Man, we did NOT need to see your butt crack. That must have sealed the deal. ;D
Last night proved that you do not need Zayra to wreak havoc in this imploding show. ;D
-
Dilana really looked lost. She was really rattled with that bottom three finish and may be panicking. Too bad really because she's really really good.

hmmm... i thought it was real, maybe just not a genuine as it should be but genuine nevertheless. ryan obviously has a gift for music. some of his earlier performance have already shown that. (unlike the more obvious poseur with skunk hair.) but he's just way too wrong for this band. and he was ... erm, "trying much to hard" to fit into the mold of what they were looking for. (even resorting to cheap gimmickry.) maybe that's why you saw him as poseur.
-
What do you guys think? At this point, do you think Dilana can still redeem herself from that hackjob? Or is this the beginning of the end for her?

the way she looked last night ... she looked crushed.
it's always crushing to discover how much of a bad person one can be... with meaning it.
she needs an "eye-opening" performance next week. hope she gets a kicka$$ song. ;)
-
Personally i really feel this is a series of set ups. The last two weeks they showed the worst of Dilana and then next week, surprise, it's a songwriting clinic, which I think is Dilana's weakest skill. I just feel like the producers are lining up the targets with respect to Dilana.
-
Or maybe it's the minions of the Prince of Darkness at work. The blood of the thousand slain virgin ducklings were not shed in vain.
-
Could be, I'd have to make my own blood sacrifices for next week then -- used tampons here I come!
-
damn! and here we are... fresh outta virgin ducklings. :-\ i hope those tampons are enough to do the trick, indie.
-
I finally saw the webisode last night and was frankly surprised -- it was the same as the one they show on primetime! Had I known then I would've just gone online every tuesday, hehe.
Anyways, I think the band is leaning towards Toby right now.

SPOILERS
One can hardly tell in a Burnett show: is the undoing of Dilana brought about by the show or herself? Based on tonight's performances and the band's comments, either she or Magni are headed for the exit. I'm so glad some of my text votes for Storm paid off since she's really proving to be a force to reckon with. Although I'd prefer Toby to win this whole thing. The band favorite, Lukas still does not impress me. Who else can sing worse than Bon Jovi?
-
Uh, a lot of people?
I only hope you're kidding because I can say with all seriousness, and without any hint of irony that I think Bon Jovi is one of the greatest vocalists around. Despite his faggotry-laden songs.

Wget really rocks kasi it is run at the DOS prompt. Since DOS looks very harmless nobody suspects ... ;D ;D ;D

Supernova's new frontman is.........well, I aint buying the album ;D
-
Yup, if the rumors are true I am definitely not going to be interested. No way will I waste my time listening to a one trick pony.
The other two finalists had more right to front the band because they are more versatile and a better fit for the band.
-
can someone pleeeeaaase PM me who won... wasn't able to watch and won't be able to watch tonight... TY ;)
-
Or at least post the winner here using spoiler tags. And if you don't know how to use hidden text, I'll take care of that for ya.
-
The winner of Rock Star: ? is... Lukas Rossi!
They can't use the name Supernova since they lost in a recent lawsuit. The insider was right all along about the winner.
Naunahan pala ako ni Pareng Indie.
-
goodluck Supernova... losing the lawsuit is just the beginning of the end... maybe they can use "P****r" as their new name... :P :P :P
-
Well that just sucks rotten eggs through a garden hose.
What a big steaming pile of gay.

For some reason I got very involved with this season. I really really loved one of the rockers and think that there was genuine talent there.
You won't believe it pre but I actually trolled the Supernova fan sites the whole night waiting for the first spoilers to come in -- which arrived around 3:30 am. Should've just went straight to sleep.
I just finished watching the first performance of "Supernova" and the new singer performed three of the songs that SN previewed in past episodes. Surprise, surprise! The versions of the original performers were so much better.
-
They should just have chosen Brooke to front them.
-
pfeh... not surprised at how this turned out... i'd probably patronize the "loser albums" tho. ::)
-
...they should've just contacted Axl Rose ;D
-
Dilana, Toby and Magni...together as a band.... priceless!
-
pfeh... not surprised at how this turned out... i'd probably patronize the "loser albums" tho. ::)
I'll definitely do this. Actually, I'm now listening to this:
(http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00008J2WD.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg)
Stage's only album -- Ryan Star's former band.
-
anyone else notice that ryan didn't look as "brooding" as he normally did before?
i guess the pressure was really getting to him when he was still in the running. (either that, or he had botox injections done prior to his reappearance in the finale. LOL.)
"dark horse"... i like the sound of that. ;D
-

Because he didn't need to put on a show and try to be the "brooding" type. That brooding persona was so obviously put on.
-
That brooding persona was so obviously put on.
LOL... maybe nga. in any case, i like this new ryan better than the one who was still in the running... and hey! he got a new car out of it. ;)
just curious... what's with the "forearm" cloth? is he hiding a very naughty tattoo? or is it his stage crutch? LOL.
-
The forearm band is usually used by guitarists when they play fast songs because the constant, frenetic strumming can sometimes scratch the forearm. Binding the forearm also removes some of the muscle fatigue from strumming. :)
-
i see... but then he's only playing a song or two during rockstar ... so obviously more for "coolness" yun. LOL.
-
was not impressed with their first gig as a complete band. I agree with indie.. won't waste my time nor money on this band with their choice of a frontman.
-

Yup, you were right! ;D
-

When the files are up, I'll link the various versions of the songs alongside the version of the new frontman and you guys can decide for yourself.
Garfield, you're being too kind with your comment. :) I think the first performance was a disaster. The singer was already too tired to reach the upper registers of the songs on his SECOND song with the band! That was utterly pathetic.
-
guess that's the way it goes for tommy lee, to be in bands with lousy singers...
-
Jason N. looks bored, I think he prefers Magni, but still, how can he compete to SuperEgo Tommy? ;D
-
The backlash has already begun, visit any forum on supernova and the general consensus is "What were they thinking?!"
-
Actually that's just me using a bunch of alternicks. I'm that upset.
-

IMO Choose anyone between Magni, Toby and Dilana and you'll have one rock act with class. I guess hanap ni Tommy kung sino babagay sa kanya, not really for the whole band.
-

Yup, Tommy wants a person who really knows how to swallow the mic.
-
Hoyeah Lukas is a Flashy frontman like Vince Neil and Axl Rose ::) .....tsk tsk poor Jason N. :P
-
My guess is they (Tommy especially) don't want anyone who can upstage them. Magni, Dilana, and Storm can leave them after one album and start off solo careers. Lukas has enough presence but not enough talent to prosper outside of Supernova.

Lukas Rossi wins Rock Star: Supernova
Lukas Rossi has been selected as the lead singer for the group about to be known as something other than Supernova. He’s now the second Canadian to win Rock Star.
“Lukas, your look, your energy, your vocals, the way you move, everything has been really really amazing for us,” Tommy Lee said. “You’re our boy. Welcome. Hell, yeah.”
While he apparently received the most votes after Tuesday’s performance show, his victory confirms a spoiler from two weeks ago, when Janet Charlton reported Lukas had already been selected the winner. That prompted Dave Navarro to deny that was true, but that Lukas defeated Dilana Robichaux, who was the favorite among many, might prompt theories that the group wanted a male lead singer or had already selected him.
Interestingly, in an interview Lukas did last night with canada.com, he says, “I wasn’t going to walk away from this without being the singer, man.” That prompts the interviewer to ask, “So you knew going into it that you were going to emerge the victor?” Lukas clarified his remark, saying, “Well, yes and no. If the band chose somebody besides myself because it would have made the band what they wanted for their vision then I would step back and respect that. But, you know, I’m standing here now and obviously I was the right person for the job.”
-
Lukas doesn't know what a podcast is. He also likes saying man alot. Hehe! ;D

I was reading some of the posts of the Lukas defenders and there was one really rabid fan of Lukas who was insisting that Lukas deserved to win because he grew up in the streets. Duh! I didn't know that the show was a charity contest.
Oh, and the conspiracy theorists have another reason to strengthen their claim -- apparently, before the announcement of the winner, a commercial for Survivor was aired and it was set to Lukas' original song "Head Spin". This firmly bolsters the claim that the band already knew who they wanted to pick weeks ago. Remember, Survivor is also a Mark Burnett production.

as "impoverished" as JD forune was before ROCKSTAR:INXS (he was basically homeless and living off "friends")... he never played on that fact to win votes. how strange that someone would actually make a comment like that.
-
the band's gone tone deaf. years of exposure to high decibel music must have done serious damage to their ear drums to make them think rossi is anywhere near good.
-
I was hoping Magni or Toby will be the winner.
Though, deep inside me, I'm really for Lukas. Supernova's kind of music is well suited for Lukas.
Go Lukas!!! You have a least 1 fan here.
Dilana's career will surely be better than Supernova. Just watch her soar.
-
The silliness never stops. The new legal name of the band is... Rock Star Supernova! ??? ::) ;D
-
Hahaha! Perfect. A name just as awful as the singer.
-
the good thing about having lukas as the frontman is that
there is nowhere to go but up :)
-
;D ;D ;D
Was also batting for Magni, unfortunately he wasn't the chosen one. Well...that's their decision. Let's watch and see what happens to this band. Will they be able to achieve the popularity of INXS? hmmmm.... ;)

Rock Star: Supernova group faces poor reception as fans ask CBS to renew the show
After a concert last month in California, a music critic said the performance by Rock Star: Supernova, the lawsuit-created name of the group constructed on CBS’ Rock Star: Supernova, was like a car crash.
The show “drew one of the smallest crowds I’ve ever seen during 25 years of visiting the arena,” Jim Harrington writes. He added that the show’s winner, Lukas Rossi, “was so dreadful, coming across like a rock-singer puppet on strings, that it was hard to pay attention to the other musicians. Like a car crash, one that is so devastating that you can’t pay attention to the rest of the scenery, Rossi dominated this show for better or for (mainly) worse.”
Fans seem to agree. As of last month, the groups’ debut album has “sold a mere 49,000 copies in the United States since its November 21, 2006 release,” according to Blabbermouth.

That's too bad for Lukas.. :'(
Any words about Dilana?
