This week on Rock Star: Supernova, the song selection was turned over to the fans. Usually this spells doom, but it was an awesome show. If you missed the show tonight, I feel really bad for you. I also feel very bad for Supernova, who has to decide betwen six totally awesome performances who will go home tomorrow! On with the show and the recap.
We start out with a recap of last week's drama - Dilana's press problems, Dave's comments to her about it, and then a recap of what is covered in this week's webisode which was recapped wonderfully again this week by momROCKS. The recap basically went over Dilana's pity-party, and the whole glass-throwing thing. Back to the show where Dave Navarro wanted to put everything to rest once and for all. He asked Magni how his head was, Magni said he's cut himself worse shaving. Dave asked Dilana about tonight's performance. Dilana said she wants to rock the place. No one is perfect, and she fell hard. Now she wants to come back stronger than ever. She added that she loves her friends and won't do anything to hurt them again.
Then we got a recap of song selection, which was also covered in the webisode recap. This week was fan selection week, and all of the selections were the "wild cards" which were songs the rockers heard others do this season but did not do themselves.
First up was Lukas Rossi. Before each performance they played a little clip of comments from each rocker. Lukas talked about how honored he is to be here, as he's just a hard working musician working hard at what he wants to do. He added that he likes basketball and beer. He's just like everyone else, just wearing more makeup. He performed Lithium by Nirvana, as done earlier in the season by Dilana. He started out really slow and soft, then rocked it. It was an awesome performance, with him mostly not singing from his throat. House band sounded awesome too. He made it really different from Dilana's performance in the first episode. Dave loved the rearranging of the song. Tommy Lee says he likes to let the music do the talking, and that song talked. He too loved the arrangement. Gilby Clarke said it was his best performance yet. Jason Newsted told Lukas that he sang right, opened up and let go.
Next up was Magni, who said that he knows if he is in the bottom three again he'll probably be gone. So he needs to get people from other countries to vote for him. He (jokingly I might add) says that he's better looking than Toby and then maligns Lukas and Ryan Star. He adds that he even learned the language of the American people. Ryan performed I Alone by Live earlier in the season in his usual brooding way, but Magni's version was different enough to stand out. He performed wonderfully and walked out through the audience to Supernova's platform to sing to the audience there and to Supernova. Dave wanted him to stay up there to tell him to his face he was awesome. Tommy wanted him to walk out all the way to the back. Magni said he thought about it, but said the little voice told him there's no lighting and he had to look good. Gilby said that although Magni is always solid, this week he gave that extra something Magni was looking for.
After the break, there was a plug for Supernova tour tickets, as they are on sale. If you buy tickets before midnight you may win a trip to the New Year's Eve show in Las Vegas.
Then it was time for Broodstar himself, Ryan Star. Ryan talked about how he was lost at the beginning, but is doing better every week now. He feels like he's gaining momentum. He started out Coldplay's Clocks behind the piano, but then jumped up onto the piano. He was a madman performing the song, so different from Magni's version. Then he runs across the stage to slide across the piano just in time to play again. After that, he crawled across the paino. All in all it too was an awesome performance! Dave liked that he was willing to rock on top of a piano. Jason doesn't think that Ryan can manage to perform without the piano, as that seems to be his forte. Gilby liked it however, saying every week Ryan does something different.
Storm Large was worried about her fan pick, Bring Me to Life by Evanescence, as she knows the melody but not the lyrics. She got Toby Rand to help out with the background vocals a bit. Storm messed up the lyrics, but I thought her performance was better than both Zayra Alvarez and Jill Gioia's performances of the song earlier in the season. It was great, and really worked for her to do her weird thing. Dave was worried about her doing, as it wasn't her register but thought it was awesome. Gilby meanwhile didn't think that he would remember the performance. He did remember Jill's performance of it. Jason gave Storm points for effort however, saying she put a lot of effort into it.
Toby Rand said that he's the joker of the house. He put cake on Ryan's face, ran around naked, and got Dilana to run around naked. I was worried about Toby doing Rebel Yell by Billy Idol, as the comparisons to Lukas could have been brutal. He did really good though, getting a lot of audience participation going on, which should have impressed Supernova. He grabbed some girls at the end and pulled them up onstage to jump and dance around. Dave was worried for him too when he head about this song, but he loved the crowd interaction. Gilby liked that he helped Storm out and loved that he brought the audience up. Tommy told Toby to grab the girls and go back to his dressing room. Toby told them they'd better check some ID first. Brooke Burke told Toby that he already has groupies. Toby said he has the first step done.
Dilana was up last. She said that she realized it's okay to make mistakes. It's about how you get back that matters. She wants people to know they didn't do the wrong thing voting for her. Her performance of Mother Mother by Tracy Bonham was bound to be more intense than Jill's earlier in the season. She started out playing guitar, then put the guitar down and stood on a small floor monitor. She draped her leg over a member of House Band (not sure which one). It was a great performance, one of her best, and a great comeback. Dave told her that out of two seasons of Rock Star that performance might be his favorite. He added that he can't think of a lead singer that hasn't said some stupid things to the press. Tommy told Dilana to say hello to the king of mistakes (Dilana said King and Queen). Tommy said they make thme and learn from them and hopefully don't do them again. Gilby said it was an emotional song delivered great. Jason, as usual, wanted to know how it felt to be up there again.
Storm, Ryan, and Lukas were in the bottom as the show came to a close. Brooke then gave a shout out to House Band, who definitely rocks.
As for who will be in the bottom, I don't know. I think Storm may have spelled doom for herself with her lyrics bobble. She's been in the bottom before and usual ends up having to stand up even if she isn't in the bottom. Between her and Magni, she might be the one to leave if Magni ends up in the bottom with her. Honestly I don't know who will end up in the bottom or who will go home. It's all so hard to judge at this point. Everyone is really stepping up their game, with only two weeks left before the final.
i love lucas u is da hottiest person eva and u have the best voice eva u should win if u dont i will feel ripped off sorta i lyk dilana too a lot u both have the rock star look!!! hope 1 of u win!!! love me from western australia xoxoxo
