reality show

gilby clarke arrives at the mansion and surprises the final 10 with bad ass gibsons.


the individual songwriting challenge allowed supernova to look into each rocker’s abilities and personality. they liked lukas’ lyrics and kinda laughed at dilana’s. it irks me a little bit that the show is depicting dilana as a player strategizing against Lukas and reacting bitterly when he’s gaining ground. . . on the other hand, i'm terribly enjoying the way lukas is being portrayed as pasaway (storbo kay ryan na mabagal sumulat ng kanta) and “dirty and sexy”! how absolutely adorable!


performance show

is it just my reproductive hormones or is magni’s kid the most charming angel?

disclaimer: I can only only appreciate the performances when I’m familiar with the song. otherwise, I lean towards supernova’s own comments, specifically gilby’s.

ROCK01 - dilana rocked The Who’s won't get fooled again with gilby in guitars. i don’t know this song, and neither did dilana when she picked it to perform with gilby clarke. “you’re a star! after that, I have no doubt that a woman can front our band.” yippee!! 6 votes!

ROCK02 - jill looked like an avril lavigne-wannabe when she sang
Tracy Bonham’s mother mother. nainis lang ako kasi the song would’ve perfectly suited her screamers. avril would’ve done a better, angstier, more appropriate version. and I can’t believe dave liked the singing and jumping!

ROCK03 - goth becomes ryan in his performance of the Rolling Stones’ paint it black. ok lang. I think I’m getting over last week’s encore...

ROCK04 - storm again demonstrates her singing and her, uhm, acting prowess when she performed Queen’s we are the champions. storm was great but I like jordis’ version more...




ROCK05 - zayra was oozing with confidence when she performed David Bowie’s all the young dudes. almost an academy-worthy performance -- she looked like an oscar trophy. no grammys for her, though -- gilby thought she was “flat a lot” (the keys, not the curves).

ROCK06 - josh was about to sing STP’s interstate love song when T.Lee suddenly begged to rock with him. josh seemed to be in a state of belief the whole time – he forgot the lyrics, was so self-conscious, and out of wits after the performance. he obviously can’t handle the big stars of supernova.

ROCK07 - magnificent magni was unaccompanied when he performed Live’s the dolphin’s cry. this is among my fave Live songs and magni did a great GREAT job! his intensity matched Live’s and he did it all by himself, armed only with an acoustic guitar.



ROCK08 - patrice perfrmed John Lennon’s instant karma. she has a nice rocker voice but she’s just not very entertaining/interesting. nice hair, though.

ROCK09 - lukas sent goose bumps when he performed Radiohead’s creep. nothing but love for you, lukas!



ROCK10 - toby rocked the Talking Head’s burning down the house. I’m not familiar with the original version but I like the version from Tom Jones and The Cardigans (cool video, too... bagay na back-up dancers ni zayra). I wasn’t so hot with toby’s megaphone prop, either, since JD Fortune worked it already in Rockstar: INXS. (but I didn’t dislike it as much as dave navarro)


elimination show

the first encore was awarded to lukas rossi. magni took the second encore in electric version. the boys did great, although I prefer their performance shows. mas malakas ang dating.



bottom scare went to jill, josh, zayra, ryan and patrice. ryan’s rearrangement of Depeche Mode’s enjoy the silence saved his ass from elimination. jill screamed (again) Aretha Franklin’s respect and josh strapped himself (again) in his guitar with Bad Company’s shooting star.

just as two rockers were rewarded with encores, two axes eliminated jill and josh. why am I not surprised?
