rockstar supernova and other news

down to five. they're all working on songs with the band. each gets to do a song from another band, and their own individually written one.

dilana - "behind blue eyes" by the who. she hurt herself somehow before the performance and so she's limited in performance (they said a torn calf muscle. if that's true, and she really tore it, ballsy.) pretty nondescript performance. "supersoul" average rock song.

(can i mention that i hate storm large right now. every week she's up, singing along, making a jackass out of herself during other people's songs. she's like those moms at beauty competitions doing the motions along with their kids. or like some attention hog that always wants all eyes on her. and unfortunately the camera complies.)

magni - "back in the ussr" by the beatles. sounds flat and uninspired. "when the time comes" - stp'esque. when asked why the performances were the same, magni's response, "both were done by me." funny. my thoughts during, meh.

storm large - "suffragette city" by david bowie. dave navarro played on the song with her. adn outshined her. i think the camera was on him almost as much as her. not good when you're trying to win a competition and you more or less disappear on stage. heather says she looks fat like fergie duchess of york or kirstie alley. i just think she sounds terrible. and still am confused how she's still in the competition. "ladylike" - started out interesting. then went downhill. basically the song sums up how she's manish. and heather said it had the best hook so far of the original songs.

lucas - "living on a prayer" by bon jovi - stripped down version. really good. and he resisted the urge to just jack it up @ the end, into some real loud type version. this reminded me a bit of radiohead. "headspin" - decent song. in my opinion, should have followed his mellow song up with some a bit more aggressive.

toby - "mr. brightside" by the killers. uninspiring. felt like he was going through the motions. "throw it away" - this song seams like something supernova would actually do. really good. i guess he was saving it on the last song, because this is good. and he knows how to move the crowd.

i have to think that toby and lucas did best tonight, and toby's got to be the favorite to win it all.

finally, in other news, bush compared bin laden to hitler. who's this bin laden guy? i thought that sadam hussein ordered the attack on the trade center. wasn't sadam hussein behind 9/11, forcing us to invade iraq and start the quagmire of our generation. i thought it was sadam hussein and his nuclear weapons that started the war on terror. what's that you're telling me? none of those are correct? so, i guess that since we found sadam's wmd's and brought functioning democracy and peace to iraq we're now going to find this bin laden character. wait, we didn't accomplish those other things either? seems like president bush has a lot to accomplish over the next two years.

also, tom cruise and katie holmes unveiled there baby. who? cares.
