Rockstar Supernova Week 5

i’d rather give a recap of week 4 but that would be too late. so here’s my take on week 5... photos from rockstar.msn.com. links point to their video performances at youtube.com. mp3 downloads available at supernovafans.com.


reality show

last week, gilby clarke facilitated the songwriting workshop. now it’s a stage craft clinic c/o jason newsted who showed them their week 4 performances. the show featured an unsurprisingly talkative jill and the unsurprisingly unsympathetic lukas enjoining toby to play a more interesting tic-tac-toe game. . .



can dilana be any more perfect? She’s beating herself up for her less-than-perfect vocals in “time after time”, she said that when she performs everything is about her audience, and she showed sincere empathy while watching magni' family video. to my eyes, she's the most beautiful person in the group. . .

and if dilana is the most beautiful person, lukas must be the most pasaway. song selection did not cause much drama except when lukas took the songs from "the room" to the group outside. "i'm not into rules. . ." don't you just love him?


performance show

ROCK01 - tommy lee in his fuzzy drums performed the chili peppers' higher ground . oh yeah, and patrice did the singing in mohawk. i'm still not impressed, especially after she wasted a song from the great black crowes last time.



ROCK02 - josh kept it real with the hiphop reggae santeria by sublime. the theme: magpakatotoo ka!. good for you, josh. both you and zayra.

ROCK03 - dilana, as always, gave something extra special when she performed can't get enough by bad company. can't relate lang ako kasi di ako familiar sa song. still, five votes for you dilana!!!

ROCK04 - toby's pennyroyal tea by nirvana was entertaining. i'm still waiting to be really impressed, though.



ROCK05 - zayra sang about some girl's phone number. the leopard print attire added to the lesbo theme. fun, at the least. i gave her one vote, in honor of her lone fan, my friend, pebols.

ROCK06 - magni sings clocks. i can't even remember....

ROCK07 - jill screamed her way through simple minds' don't you forget about me. sayang ang kanta. tsk! tsk! dave thought her performance was the type where you get an opportunity to go to the bathroom, grab a drink... anything to avoid watching her.

ROCK08 - ryan performed losing my religion by rem, using a baby grand piano. i loved his version. very creative.

ROCK09 - lukas, to me wasted the great hole song, celebrity skin. worse than jill's violet. i couldn't help but give him one vote. god save lukas. please.

ROCK10 - a very polished and business-like-rocker, storm sings her heart out to changes by david bowie. sabi ni pebols kamukha nya si geri halliwell.

ROCK11 - i can't remember much about dana's performance.


elimination show

ryan deserved the encore, toby deserved the scare, zayra deserved the break, jill & patrice deserved the bottom 3... and i guess dana deserved the elimination.

i enjoyed jill's performance of heart's alone. much much better than carrie underwood's version. chills me to the bone.
