My MC is Cappy.

Wow, Lukas does have a great resume! You know, all of these contestants have such baby young skin. Their faces have like not one wrinkle, scar, age mark. I wonder how old they are?
Another thing I was thinking, I bet a lot of bands are going to make proposals to those who are not chosen by SuperNova. So these people shouldn't be so bummed by not getting it ~ look at their exposure.

I find it hard to believe that Storm is 37 with such a soft, young, flawless complexion! She looks and acts much younger.

If I were her, I'd go by "Stormy".

Ryan finally got a little respect. I liked that. Good song choice.

I've never particularly cared for the song Josh sang (No Rain - I don't like the original singer's voice), but big time kudos for acknowledging what he's into, and what his strengths are.

Bad song for Toby, but I like him and think he deserves to stay.

Dilana was fine until she finally did the vocal deviation ("Oh, I'll be waiting" or whatever). That really didn't do anything for me. Too Melissa Etheridge with that rasp.

I liked that Magni stood up for himself, and that he at least got acknowledged for a good vocal... even if his performance wasn't dramatic.

Storm threw me off. It was like a Yin/Yang pull for me. Ultimately I loved it, though. I freakin' love that song. I recently put that song on a CD for myself, so that was synchronistic. I was a little put off by her vocal deviations, but at the same time I realize that they didn't sound bad. I did like her changing of the words to fit a female singer perspective.

Lukas sang a song I thought about recently. I'm kind of surprised that song was in there. I thought he was completely uninspiring singing it. I thought the guitar was a terrible prop. The performance was poor enough that I didn't really dig the lighting theatric. The only thing I really liked from him tonight was his hair.

I thought LUkas was very good.

Zayra and her outfit were quite shocking and surprising - her moves, etc. I feel bad for her that they always laugh at her, though.

And of course, my favorite. Dilana. WOW. She reminded me of a Grandmother, or a Mother singing to her children. I LOVE her voice. If they choose her, and make an album, I will buy it just because of her. If they tour here, I will go just because of her. My mother commented on their reaction to her; "They're all in love with her."

Zayra's song was cool, but her performance wasn't good, and it was off-key often.

You really can't go wrong with Radiohead (unless you do their modern stuff), so that was an excellent choice for Patrice.

I hated the way they backed Jill into a corner tonight. They practically forced her into making that statement that they all booed. I'm glad she didn't have to sing after that. I think her point was valid, and I think Gilby kind of took his puritanism a bit far. I thought at first that he was going to back off from having taken such a harsh stance. I can't believe it went down that way. Also, how hypocritical is it to have Tommy flirting with her week after week, and then try to take her down for making a sexual move on stage?

AG, That whole scene with Jill has to do with a homophobic reaction to her grabbing Gilby and doing the butt ram! hehe It caught him off guard and threw his performance, (he "left" as he said) and it p.o.'d him because Jason did so awesome in his performance, and then Jill messed him up on his turn. Then because she got such a strong reaction from the crowd the first time she did it, she tried it again on the next verse and it was lame and contrived. She always seems to be scurrying for scraps. I'm with Gilby there. And he can't stand her now, so bye bye Jilly.

"I'm on my way to watch another Supernova hopeful get the hatchet! If it were MY band, Zayra would be packing her things and going home tonight, but that's not my call. The guys sometimes surprise me with their choices, so it's always just as much as a mystery to me as it is to you guys. There is something about Zayra that is entertaining to watch I will say. I really think that if she went into a more elctronic/Peaches direction, she could be all right, but a rock singer she is not. It is a bizzare season because for me, it wouldn't be a tough choice. The good news is that ones that evolve and grow, get to stay longer and hopefully learn something as well as get plenty of exposure and a crash course in this public life that they are living. Plus, it's just more rock on Network Television, of which I am a huge supporter. I'll check in after the show with a spoiler and another update.

One of my favorite moments from last night's show:

The exchange between me and Patrice. That actually went on for like 10 minutes in the studio. A lot was said but the gist was aired. For the most part, my point was that these contestants have so many weeks to impress the band that they should take advantage of the time and show them different sides. Most people going into an audition only get a few minutes to try out for whatever it is they are trying out for. If you have 13 weeks, why not show the band something new?"

Dave Navarro then said:

"Wow! A lot of people are really up in arms about Phil going home! Well, after watching the show last night on television, I would have to agree with the Supernova guys once again. If you think about the direction we give these contestants, Zayra and Patrice are the only ones who listened to it. We keep saying, "change it up". Phil kept giving them the same performance while Patrice and Zayra clearly made efforts to try different things with their performances. We all know there can only be one winner, so I agree that the ones who are willing to take direction and evolve should be entitled to stay longer. Phil just didn't do anything new. As for the "question of Phil's commitment", check this out:
********

Ritchie said his primary goal for competing is to gain exposure for his band. "I mean, really I just hope to gain exposure. I love my band and I love the music," he said. "I'm not stoked about the music Supernova's popping out."
He said he knows if he wins the competition he's obligated to tour with the band, but that's a risk he's willing to take.
"I may have taken a risk. I love my boys back home, but you know I still have to look out for myself in this world," he said. "I've got to create opportunities for myself, and this is too huge an opportunity to say no to."

************

Obviously, I should know, of all people, that what you read in the press isn't always accurate, but these are Phil's words in quotes and he has confirmed saying it. If Supernova is looking for someone to represent them and be committed, why would they choose a guy who doesn't take direction in an audition setting and slags them off in the press? IMHO...Supernova might as well keep the ones who want to be there and are willing to try to mix it up.

This was asked right away:

I mean, do you honestly think he is the only contestant that is using Supernova to promote other agendas? For that matter, aren't there members of Supernova that are using Supernova to promote their other projects?
