Rock Star: Supernova: Week 4 Elimination

by Deidre Woollard, posted Jul 27th 2006 2:55AM
(S02E08) What does it take to get into Supernova? Last year, the rules were simple: sound enough like the late Michael Hutchence to front INXS but not so much that you seem to be part of an INXS tribute band. This season Gilby seems to be looking for someone to make him believe in rock and roll again, Jason just seems to be looking for this show to end and we all know what Tommy Lee is looking for.

Storm Large gets the encore and celebrates with a bit of a booty shake at the beginning and an exhausted stage flop at the end. Not my favorite performance but I do love her energy. She sure has the attention of one T. Lee. The bottom three are Patrice, Zayra and Phil.

Patrice sings "My Iron Lung" by Radiohead. She runs around and does a peppy job of things. It's a better performance than last night but still, there's something about her that just doesn't stick in the mind.

The ever-humble Zayra sings "Not An Addict". She's much better on slow speed than she is on fast. But I am biased by my love of this song. Imagine Dilana doing this song and it's clear that Zayra needs to leave.

Phil sings a song called "Smoking Umbrellas" which I have never heard before. He tries to curb the infamous head wobble and he sings at the very top of his lungs. Everyone really tries hard tonight, it's a tougher choice than one might think so you have to think that last night's performance should be a factor.

Patrice gets the save and sits down. It's down to Zayra and Phil and Phil gets booted because they "question his commitment" to the band. The other rockers are shocked. Phil had to go sooner or later and now is just fine with me, even the way he said the word "mellow" made me sleepy but I think this should have been Zayra's week to say goodbye.

I believe Phil was tossed due to comments he made in the press about just being on the show to promote his own band and that he did not care for Supernova's music. Dave got a hold of it and read it to Phil after he sang Smoking Umbrellas and Phil admitted he had stated this before the show started. This is why Z was spared. This info was removed from the Rockstar message board the day after it was posted. Also Dave comments about this on his website. They are not keeping Z on for ratings. Lukas is the ratings maker.

I really think this years crop is very weak compared with Rock Star: INXS. I think Dilana is the best singer/performer but I can't see her fronting this band. I hate Lukas' voice almost as much as his idiotic skunk hair and makeup. Storm will win. The others have no business on the stage and rate from boring (Dana, Patrice) to annoying (Zayra, Josh).

I enjoy Zayra a lot than a few other contestants. The real reason that Phil got the boot was that he dissed Supernova in a print interview and said he was mainly just trying to promote his own band. I seemed to come out of nowhere, but Dave Navarro read the article outloud to Phil after the taping last week.

P.S. Storm will win this contest. I used to think it would be Dilana or Lukas, but I'm convinced it'll be Storm after last week and the feedback Supernova gave her.

I agree that Dilana and Storm are the front-runners, but I'm not sold on Lucas yet. I think Jason's repeated comments about opening his throat could be the lead up to him being ejected because he can't actually sing. Like with notes and stuff, not just growls. I think he would be well served to do a slower song that showcases his voice, like Dilana did this week. That is assuming he has one to showcase.

Totally agree with you Heather, why the heck is Zayra still on this show? one reason.....ratings. I guess what it boils down to though is that this show will only get really interesting when it's down to Lucas, Dilana, Storm and Dilana.

I agree with Heather. Not booting her smells of producer intervention.
