rockstar supernova week 7


week 8 na dapat ginagawa ko, but no, kailangang karirin ko muna itong week 7! waaah! photos from rockstar.msn.com and youtube.com. links point to video performances at youtube.com. mp3 downloads available at supernovafans.com.


reality show

this week's reality show was all about getting a taste of what it would be like to become Supernova's vocalist: jet-setting to vegas via supernova's tour jet, VIP treatment (meaning lotsa booze for everyone) and presidential suite accommodation at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, standing at The Joint's stage where Supernova will give their first performance on new year's eve, and wild, endless partying!

the rockstar life

(i wonder about jason newsted's thoughts on metallica and partying. some friends told me that he was booted out of metallica because of his uncontrollable alcohol/substance abuse. but then he was critical of toby and lukas who both got wasted from too much partying. jason preached, "you do not have to go all the way and get stupid so people can laugh at you." hmm... will the real jason please stand up?)

the acoustic song selection was a treat for the fans of toby. dilana made him strip butt naked so that he can have the performance with gilby. another song selection drama was when zayra (who really, really, really, really, really wanted to perform her original song) won over ryan (who would die to do it). at least ryan gets to perform phil colins' in the air tonight.

i don't mean to make this long but i just have to comment on Sandy McFarland's episode review at reality thumbnails

Dilana pulls Tommy Lee aside and says that she wants him to know that all these a**holes can go home right now and he doesn’t have to say a damn word! (She tells us that she went to talk to Tommy a bit, and it was really natural hanging out with the guys.) She continues yakking at Tommy and brags that she can sing, draw a crowd, AND hang with the boys. That’s all she can tell him! (She tells us that they might as well bump everyone and get this thing over next week, so THEY (meaning she and Supernova) can get on with the band and move on.) Tommy grabs her face and squeezes it for the camera. (I note that he hasn’t uttered a word throughout her pitch.) Yes, she says, she needed to tell him this, person to person and gives Tommy a shoulder squeeze. (I have decided to never vote for Dilana again.)


i don't know this "sandy" but i would bet she's a girl who can't see an empowered woman when it's right under her nose, but she sees stars and coolness in some cute guy who drowns himself silly with booze.
Toby says there were a few folks that couldn’t handle their drink and, “Mind you, one of them was me.” (We seeing him slurring to Jason… “I’m smashed… ” (I do love Toby!)


why do we hate women who have enough guts to assert themselves and go for what they want? i've read other nasty comments about dilana being bitter and witchy, especially when lukas is gaining on her. how gullible can you get? the reality in reality shows is that personalities will be portrayed in the spiciest ways possible. several times have dilana validly exhibited a great personality. kaya nga sya napagkakamalang matanda kasi she seems to have more smarts than most of the other rockers.

...and as if on cue, dilana blew her funky birthday cake and wishes aloud "i wish you'd all go home so i can get on the tour bus!" that's the spirit, dilana! go get em!


performance show

lets make it brief, kasi i'm running out of time...

ROCK01 Zayra performs her original song Lluvia de Mar. great song. she looked great too!tommy sensed some massive atack in it. i on the other hand sensed a little shakira for a moment.

ROCK02 - Magni performs David Bowie’s Starman. i don't know this song but it sounded pretty cool. the white suit is a great look for magni.

ROCK03 - Patrice performs Message In A Bottle by The Police. she doesn't seem too interested in challenging herself.

ROCK04 - Lukas performs Nickelback's Hero. sweet. but i still prefer chad kroeger's vocals in the original version. as i looked for the video of nickelback's hero i came across this cool video of kingdom hearts using the song...



storm's back tattooROCK05 - Storm performs Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive. her version was bad bad bad! especially when you compare this performance to dilana's time after time (by cindy lauper) and marty's baby one more time (by no less than britney spears!) from rockstar: inxs. i'm now seeing the geri halliwell in storm's performance. but she's such a great sport, inspite of the hammering from dave and supernova. "it's ok, man, i like spanking."

ROCK06 - Toby performs Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill with gilby. he was so busy rocking with the drummer, he looked like he forgot all about gilby. oh, and he had more props: the bongos.

ROCK07 - Ryan performs Phil Collin’s In The Air Tonight. i knew he'll make a great job. the song suits his rearrangement style. i can see the possibility of another encore.

ROCK08 - Dilana performs Harry Chapin's Cats In The Cradle. nice deep voice. it's a competition between her and ryan for the encore.

elimination show

supernova's making the competition much more exciting by performing with the rockers each week at elimination night. first honor goes to dilana! yipee! the song is entitled leave the lights on, performed by supernova featuring dilana on vocals.

Leave the Lights on by Supernova featuring Dilana

ryan wins the encore. storm and toby almost makes it to the bottom 3. at the bottom 3 are zayra, patrice and magni. zayra sings Razor Blade by Blue October. patrice sings celebrity skin by hole. magni sings creep by radiohead.

zayra brings her fans to tears as she says her goodbye to rockstar: supernova.
