photos from rockstar.msn.com. links point to video performances at youtube.com. mp3 downloads available at supernovafans.com. spoilers can be read at rockband.com
volleyball again came first so i wasn’t able to watch the live performance show. but last week’s dilana issue made me want to support her more by making sure i send my votes in time. hence, i found the spoilers from rockband.com. i highly recommend this site for everyone who can’t watch the live episode at star tv, but would really like to vote for their favorite rockers. i think the writer watches the actual taping of the performances (that’s why he calls them spoilers, telling the readers what happened even before the performances are actually shown). luckily, the ordered list of performers enabled me to send ten ROCK06 votes for dilana, and also five ROCK01 votes for lukas! (oo, kuripot, pero at least meron)
i also read quite a bit of dave’s site, 6767, as well as the rockstar spaces at msn live spaces. that gave me quite an insight on dilana’s case. it seems dave and the rockers would like people to get over this one mistake by dilana, because she’s truly a great person and a great performer. they probably also know about the nasty comments of so many dilana critics who are now dissing her for dissing the other rockers. (the rockers’ spaces were full of mean dilana-bashing, most of them unforgiving and very judgemental towards dilana. funny --- they spend so much effort making judgments about dilana because she was unfairly judgmental of the other rockers) oh, i do hope she gets through this.
reality show
man! i cried a whole 15 minutes watching dilana tear herself up! she’s obviously very disappointed in herself and feeling so helpless and vulnerable. the other rockers were sympathetic but i don’t think anybody knew what to do or say to her (except for storm who seems pretty tight with dilana). i get all choked up just remembering her desperate sobs…
the final six had a photo shoot clinic. storm aced this because of a previous experience in modeling. she has a lot going for her: a great writer, a beautiful model, and a rock chick in one package!
this week’s song selection was courtesy of the rockers’ fans. reactions to the songs were varied, but everyone appreciated hearing from the fans. unfortunately, i was unable to share in this experience (i don’t have a verizon wireless and my busted shockwave won’t let me see the RS:SN official site properly, so I didn’t know how to choose a song for dilana or lukas). i’m happy about the choices, though, especially after hearing that dilana got Mother, Mother by Tracy Bonham!
performance show
brooke showed again bits of the dilana drama and i cried all over again. but i’m so proud and happy for her for getting through this. not a lot of people get to fall down and be humiliated in public and climb back up with dignity in such short time. as a fan said, i’m sure we’ll see her standing after the smoke clears…
disclaimer: i read the spoiler before i watched the second replay so i knew that all performances were spectacular. so this being the best show so far, i’ll be embedding
ROCK 01 – lukas performed Lithium by Nirvana. yeah, he didn’t particularly like the song, even botched up some lyrics. but he nailed it anyway! brilliant piano intro, impressive arrangement, charming swagger, powerful voice, great energy! overall, captivating! (yup, had to use a thesaurus toi use all the right words!)
ROCK 02 – magni performed I Alone by Live. magni has the perfect voice for Live songs. if he keeps this up, he’ll be the competition with lukas and dilana in the end.
ROCK 03 – ryan performed Clocks by Coldplay. i’m beginning to like this song. ryan did a stunning piano intro, all followed by intense stage craft. He climbed up the piano, jumped down, rocked the whole stage, and ended with another crawl up and a jump down the piano. All the girls looked so dreamy…
ROCK 04 - storm performed Bring Me To Life by Evanescence. storm did a great version of this almost overused song. and has a great vocal range! i wasn’t so hot about the red dress, though. (toby did nicely with the backup vocals)
ROCK 05 – toby performed Rebel Yell by Billy Idol. he was ecstatic upon finding out this was his song… and the performance was in ecstatically high spirits too! it was as if the show could only get better! i used to think toby used a little too many props, but this time i thought he was a genius! he made sure the audience sang loud enough to be heard on tv, and he made the girls climb up the stage and scream “more! more! more!”
ROCK 06 – dilana performed Mother, Mother by Tracy Bonham. i knew dilana would not disappoint with this very angsty song. and she didn’t! dave even called it the best performance of the 2 seasons so far. i wouldn’t go that far (coz i have other favorites) but i’m so happy she nailed this song, and so happy that i can download a dilana’s great version of one of my favorite songs (which jill by the way totally wasted). Oh, and by the way, tommy told dilana he was the KING of mistakes, to which dilana replied she was the QUEEN.
everyone did absolutely great! i am so absolutely unquestionably utterly glad that i watch this show!
Elimination Show
Another new song, It's On was performed by Supernova with Lukas on vocals. Encore performance was awarded to Toby.
At the bottom three right after the show were storm, ryan, and surprisingly, lukas. other rockers who were at some point at the bottom three were toby and dilana. no surprises there, except for the fact that magni was the only safe rocker! Hurray for Iceland!
Bottom three performances: ryan performed Baba O’Riley by The Who, storm performed Helter Skelter by The Beatles and Dilana performed Psycho Killer.
Ryan, despite his distinctive improvement in every show, was eliminated. Not right for SN, apparently. Perhaps his drama and intensity was a little too much for them.
