9 - tonight is an acoustic episode.
dave electra has a new album out with his band panic channel. shameless plug on the show. can i still call him dave electra now that he and his are splitting up? i guess i'm forced to call him dave navarro.
9:01 - the show begins by showing footage of everyone last week in vegas, after the show. and the aussie guy toby got naked to convince people to let him have a song with gilby. who will have their own original song? zayra and ryan both wanted it. zayra won out. and she may pay for it.
9:05 - the group gets scolded because most didn't fight for the right to do an original song.
9:06 - zayra. "lluvia de mar" - wha? your song is in spanish? this isn't rockstar shakira. although i must admit, i did sound nice. stick with your own music lady, you're good at it. not at rockstar supernova. (this wasn't a critique on being in spanish, but on the style of the song.)
9:14 - magni. "starman" by david bowie. good mellow sound, smooth voice. almost oasis-y. good, but this song isn't showing the band anything.
9:18 - partrice "message in a bottle" by the police. this chick annoys me every week because she's frequently smiling all big and silly while singing. not very rock and roll. she sounds like she spent the week yelling.
9:25 - lucas "hero" by nickelback or some crap group. the return of the rasp. and it looks like this guy is wearing a priest outfit. really, he's got in all black with a white collar. has to be intentional. as to the singing, they keep coming after him on that rasp. i think he's got to be the favorite and they want him to last
9:29 - storm large "i will survive" i'm was really impressed at first. reminded me of some astrud gilberto. i thought, wow, this could be a pretty cool arrangement. then the song picked up, the guitar sounded like cake. and then she did some really bad sounds. and made a face like someone was kicking her in the gut. and the looks on the faces of supernova echoed. dave navarro said he hated it. tommy lee said it was sauteed in wrong sauce and he wanted his money back. gilby didn't like it. man, she did bad.
and the second person used the trip to vegas, literally a week ago, as an excuse. wha? you want to be a freekin rock star and you say you can't put it back together in a week. and you're telling that to 3 rockstars who have been in some of the hugest, hardest bands?
9:37 - toby "solsbury hill" by peter gabriel. so, the title didn't help me with the song. once the guitar played the first five notes i had it. decent enough job. tommy lee looks unimpressed by it all. but his comments afterword tell me something else.
9:41 - ryan star "in the air tonight" by phil collins. this guy reminds me of ed kowalczyk from live, the sound of voice. this has been pretty consistant throughout the competition but i thought i'd mention it here. nice job singing, looked comfortable performing (something they've knocked him on before).
dave navarro just hit on one of the women in the string section of the band. see, he's not that broke up over losing carmen electra.
9:50 - dilana/grungetta "cat's in the craddle" i'm really tired of her smokey voice. and too often it just sounds like she's talking, not singing.
dave nolectra thougth that was the best performance of the night. this guy no good.
so there it all is, rockstar supernova aug 15 2006.
