Rock Star: Supernova strips down the show

Rock Star: Supernova stripped down the show this week, as the rockers performed with a string quartet for a more unplugged show. Naturally since it was a stripped down show, Tommy Lee and Dave Navarro started stripping, much to the delight of the crowd.

We then saw a recap of what happened at Las Vegas and during song selection. You can read all about it in Sprout's excellent recap. They highlighted the drunken madness of the rockers and the penthouse suite before they moved on to the song selection. At song selection there were two awesome things to fight over, a performance with Gilby Clarke and an original song. As Sprout covered, Dilana made Toby Rand run around naked to get the Gilby performance. Meanwhile Ryan Star let Zayra Alvarez have the original.

Back to the show, and Tommy and Dave had to get dressed again as the censors got the them. Dave was stunned that only one person raised their hand for the original - for a chance to really show Supernova what they can do. Jason Newsted tells them that most of the rockers got onto the show for their writing talent and he was underwhelmed by the response to the chance to play one of their originals. Gilby thinks that the rockers think they will be around longer and will get to do it later. He also loved that Toby ran around naked for him.

First up was Zayra with her original - Lluvia De Mar. I thought it was a beautiful song and a lovely performance. If anything proved that she wasn't right for the band though, it was that. I still love her, and would like her to stay around for a few more weeks. Dave congratulated her on fighting for her original, saying it was a great job. Tommy thought it sounded like a Massive Attack song, but didn't think it was right for them. Gilby wants her to rock and show them what she will do for them. Jason wanted to know how it felt performing her original, Zayra said it was golden.

Magni, wearing a lovely white suit, performed Starman by David Bowie. Every week I like Magni more and more. His performance this week was very good. Magni and Tommy talk about how Magni doesn't remember anything from Vegas. Tommy tells Magni that he barely remembers anything. Gilby told Magni that he missed a perfect opportunity for a sing-a-long with the audience. Magni said that in "the old country" they sing. That's very true, Europeans sing along so well that it actually throws off some American performers who aren't prepared for it. I remember one performer who came to Europe, and just let the audience sing a whole song. Anyhow, then Jason and Tommy tease Magni about looking so good. Tommy says he only looks like that for court.

Soccer Mom, Patrice Pike was up next with Message in a Bottle by the Police. Hopefully this week's dismal performance will seal her fate and send her soccer-kid-toting butt home. Dave thought it lacked in intensity, as he wants to see her get into someone's face. Gilby was hoping she would do something original with the arrangement. Dave said that she's probably feeling a bit hammered (I get the feeling a lot of the hammering was cut) but says there is a heck of a performer in her and they want to see it.

Lukas Rossi performed Chad Kroeger's Hero. He was singing from his throat again, making him Mumbly again. So Mumbly-Skunkly reappeared this week. It was a good performance, just not as awesome as last week. Dave liked listening to the different characters in his voice. Tommy hates when people sit down, Lukas blamed it on Vegas (see rant below for my thoughts on that). Gilby loved the falsetto. Jason warned him to watch closing off his vocals, as he knows what Lukas is capable of and won't let him get away with it.

Storm Large was saddled with Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive. I thought it was awesomely weird and nice, particularly with her word change here and there. Dave was unimpressed, as last season Marty Casey (oh how I miss Marty - he would have been PERFECT for Supernova) had "Hit me Baby One More Time" and Dilana had the Cyndi Lauper tune earlier this season and they each did better. He hated it. Storm used the Vegas excuse (once again, see rant below). Tommy didn't like it. Gilby said that the remaining rockers are the contenders and they should get up there and pretend they're in Supernova.

Toby Rand, together with Gilby Clarke performed Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel. Honestly I think the commercial is better, but who am I to judge? He played those little drummy things and looked rather cute doing so. Overall it was rather good, just not awesome. Dave thought it was great that he went the extra mile to rock with Gilby. Gilby said that it's a difficult song to play, and Toby's vocals fit right in. Tommy said that after seeing him run around naked, there was no question about his commitment. It was nice to see him be a maniac, and Tommy added that Toby has a nice ass.

Ryan Star, in a very BroodStar way, sang Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight. It was an awesome performance, very brooding. Dave said it was the best performance of the night, and added an extra shout out for the string section, particularly the blonde. Gilby enjoyed Ryan's transformation over the last couple of weeks, and likes the extra effort. Jason likes that Ryan is really trying, as it means something. Ryan adds that he really wants the job.

Dilana was last up performing Harry Chapin's Cat's in the Cradle. It was an awesome performance. She's just a spellbinding performer. Dave tells Ryan he spoke too soon, as that was the best performance of the night. He said he still has chills, and adds that his dad is there tonight, and if he wasn't he would be an emotional wreck. Jason loved the modern feel on an old classic. Gilby said that Dilana's low register is strong, but then she went higher and knocked them all out. Dilana says she's going to keep going because she told them all that she's the one.

No big surprise, Patrice and Zayra were in the Bottom 3 at the end of show. What was surprising was to find Toby there. I didn't think it was awesome, but it was good. Poor Supernova are going to get a complex, they keep landing the person who performs with them in the Bottom three! Next time Supernova complains that no one jumps at the chance to sing with them, one of the rockers needs to fire back "Hell no, y'all are a jinx! Everyone singing with you lands in the bottom!"

Okay, now on to my rant. After reading about the reality show recap (once again, big thanks to Sprout, as I know he's got problems but does it anyhow!) and seeing tonight's show I really want to bitch slap some of the rockers. Do they not know that they will be joining Tommy * Lee in Supernova? Hello, Tommy "I can drink two cases of beer and still keep the beat" Lee! If they can't handle a day in Vegas, then do a show a couple of days later what does that say about them? Most of the time they'll be peforming THAT NIGHT after drinking! I'd go with one of the people who can contain themselves, or at least hold their alcohol. True rockers can at least crawl onstage and not offer a "I partied too hard" lame-ass excuse.

So, Zayra or Soccer Mom will leave tomorrow, everyone else seems to be safe for now but then again you never really know.

We are Stardust!
	I think that they will play one of their new songs and have one of the Rockers sing with them. Should be interesting! Will

	You know, everyone feels bad for Dave after his breakup with Carmen. Don't. From the Miami Herald website: Dave Navarro has had a tough year. First, he received a lot of flak about his ''experimentation'' with men that allowed him to satisfy any inner questioning of his sexuality and then, of course, he recently split with wife Carmen Electra. But, Navarro may be in a position to share some good news. TMZ.com has confirmed with legendary adult film star Jenna Jameson's publicist that she has split from her husband and is, in fact, dating Navarro. The pairing of rock stars and porn stars has become common. Tommy Lee was reported to be dating ''Vivid Girl'' Stefani Morgan and, of course, Lee also turned Pamela Anderson into an amateur porn star. Then there's Evan Seinfeld of Biohazard, who is married to adult star Tera Patrick, and Korn's Jonathan Davis' wife is recently retired from the biz.

I'm Supertramp
	First of� I know Curlio�s style so well that last year when Curlio forgot that Dusty was still logged on and posted the review, I addressed my reaction to Curlio and then apologized to Dusty for not noticing his name. Today, I read her review and knew that I was experiencing d�j� vu! Right, So do y�all want to know what I thought of the rockers? No? Read it anyway! Zayra � Pretty! I am sorry she is no Selena, but she sounded awesome for the first time and I actually liked what she was wearing � imagine that. Unless Supernova decides to send two rockers home � I would like to think that Zayra would survive yet again. However, she is so not right for this group. I am sorry! Magni � He has cover David Bowie twice and we all know he can sing � I like him, but the performance left me high and dry. And man, what�s up with that vein? Is it just me or did anyone else think that his vein just might pop? His vein is scarier than Monica�s vein on Friends! Remember that? Patrice � I think she has stopped fighting � I think Bottom Three has rattled her more than any other contestant so far. She knows that she won�t get the gig � so she has stopped trying! However, I think we are a little harsh with our mob mentality � Soccer Mom is rather cruel but then we are a little cruel! I think she is hot, only thing is, she has lost her confidence and I sincerely hope that she goes home because she does not deserve such treatment! I love her � I am not sorry to say that! Send her home please! Lukas � Oy! I love that song � Corny? Yes! Love it anyway! Lukas would have scored many brownie points if he wouldn�t have mumbled. I mean after Creep, I sincerely thought he was awesome. I don�t like Lukas and yet I clapped during the performance of Creep when he hit certain notes at ease. Hero, if sang properly could have earned him an encore, but that won�t happen. What was with that makeup? Pink eye-shadow gone wild? You know Lukas reminds me of Chuckie (Child�s Play) gone Goth! Seriously, there is something so unattractive about him that I agree with Nicole � he is a radio star! Storm � My God, she was almost reduced to tears! She was not that bad, I mean come on what can anyone do with that song. It is such an iconic song that I feel like killing myself if I hear it. It is worst than My Heart Will Go On! Considering that � I knew Storm shot herself in the foot. I will repeat I liked her performance � but I do think Dilana could have rocked it effortlessly. I agree with Dave that Marty also could have done amazing justice! Also I agree with Curlio that Marty would have won this gig hands down! Toby � I don�t think he will feature in Bottom Three after the Aussie and Kiwi votes are in � remember MiG? His performance was ok; I don�t know who else notices the fact that Toby does not have a poker face. I think that bongo was actually wasted. I noticed something superficial � he has a weird nose. Ryan � He must have had a terrible life � I have no other explanation why this guy cannot stop frowning even when he smiles. I genuinely wonder if he can laugh. You know only time I saw him not frowning was when he met Magni�s boy! Frankly, I don�t like the song but after the disasters � he sounded great! Dilana � Perfection! Ok, people who are expecting something new should note that she does bring something new; it is just that she is the only contestant who has consistently performed great. Yeah, it is a different story that some might not like her, but the fact is Supernova has never given her any negative critique so far � edited or unedited and that says a lot! If Gender Card comes to play � I sincerely wonder why they have female contestants in the first place � Ok, I read it � it is a stupid wandering (I know it�s wondering)! I think Dilana would win � she has started getting grey coverage now and that�s a great sign. I loved all the reactions but I have to give a huge shout out to Will � Latin Swirl � Awesome Lex Luthor � Too Funny �Skunkie, well, did you ever notice how skunks look pretty in the wild but, you wouldn't want one in your house.� ROFLMAOPIMP! That has to be the funniest thing I have read in weeks! As far as Dave is concerned � I don�t think Tommy would let anyone steal his thunder � look at his band mates and you might realize what I am talking about! So that�s that! My Top Three Dilana Zayra � Believe It! And Ryan! Going home � Patrice!

	hey - just read this on dave's website... Tonight, we hear a Supernova song for the first time, featuring Jason, Tommy and Gilby with a yet to be named contestant having the honors. We finally get a chance to see what it is we are actually trying to do here. Find these guys a singer. i hope they pick who they want to sing... or draw straws or something. i don't want it to be one of the bottom 3 - what a waste!!

You are gone tonight!!! **Dilana you absolutely kicked some last night!!! for the past several weeks I've been wonderin' if you would surprise me & you did! Nice Gams!!!

You sounded very Pub-worthy. You won't be gone for a few more weeks but I do see some traveling in your future & it ain't with this band!!! **Magni....Rock On! Best song of the night!!! You have proven, without a doubt that you can hang with these guys!!! Professionally & Personally! Hang Tough & Kick next week dude!!!!!

	darn! My predictions were off...... Zayra handled the tommyhawk like a champ!!!! She probably should have sang "Hate Me" by Blue October & Dilana is slowly winning my vote...she absolutely looked perfect performing w/ the guys! ROCK ON!
