Rockstar: Supernova Week 4 Performances

Rockstar : Supernova


Not a lot to write home about this week performance-wise. The stand outs were Storm, Ryan and, as usual, Dilana. I really liked Zayra's version of Blondie's Call Me, but she's just too artsy for the Supernova burnouts.

Lukas RossiLukas started things off with The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony. I don't agree with much of the idiocy that comes out of Jason Newsted's mouth, but he is right when he continued to tell Lukas that he sounds like he's taking a shit when he sings.


Zayra AlvarezZayra was next with Blondie's Call Me. She wore this awesome skintight blue outfit that was good stuff in my opinion. I know I might be alone in my backing of her, but again I really liked her interpretation of this week's song. I think her arangements are original and fresh, it's just not something the Supernova guys can get down with.


Dana AndrewsDana actually channelled the rock gods to some degree this week. Often criticized for her soft look and approach to her songs, she dirtied up and did a not-so-horrible version of Nirvana's About A Girl. She's still on her way out very soon.


PatricePatrice followed with Black Crowes' Remedy. She's still a soccer mom in rockstar clothing. She's not bad enough to be noticed, but not good enough to be praised.


Toby RandToby then performed White Wedding by Billy Idol. Didn't blow anyone away, didn't suck terribly. This guy still has a good shot at it. He's got the look at least.


MangiMagni finally took off his douchey sunglasses to perform David Bowie's Heroes. Boring and terrible. I really don't like this guy.


Ryan StarRyan was next with Live's I Alone. I hate Live and anything they've ever recorded, but beyond that, he did a pretty solid job. He still is really lacking in the personality department.


Jill GioiaJill was joined by Gilby Clark for her rendition of The Rolling Stone's Brown Sugar. Gilby is a tool. Seriously, for a guy who was in Guns 'n Roses for like a week and a half, he sure thinks he's important.


PhilBobblehead roboto Phil then put me to sleep with The Wallflower's One Headlight. This guy looks so ridiculous when he sings and finally the Supernova guys called him out on it last night. Tommy Lee basically let him know that no one could possibly watch this guy move for an entire show.


DilanaFinally Dilana gave me something to be impressed with. Her version of Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper was really enjoyable. She strips songs down so well. I think though that if she fronted this band and had to sing over the music they unveiled that they had been working on, it wouldn't play very well to her strengths. Hard to say, but she is clearly the most talented of the bunch and proved it again this week.


JoshJosh gayed out to Blind Melon's No Rain. I cannot wait until he is off this show. I really want to kick him repeatedly. He brings out the Ike Turner in me. I mean, look at this guy. Could you really seem him fronting Tommy Lee? I mean, it's like porn and church. Oil and water. I don't know why he's still around.


Storm LargeStorm is still great. She's sex appeal and power all rolled into a delicious dish. She sang Anything Anything by Dramarama and I loved it. It ended the performances on a strong note.

Jeepney Diaries has all the performances, but these were the best in my opinion:

Dilana - Time After Time (Cyndi Lauper)
Storm Large - Anything Anything (Dramarama)
Zayra Alvarez- Call Me (Blondie)


10 Talk back to yo' mama!:

I'm sorry, but this version of "Anything, Anything" is awful! It's like a cross between Cher and Melissa Etheridge, and that's not good.

Not ashamed to say I've never heard that song before, but I dug Storm's sexy performance, which came off so rockin' in comparison to the tune that preceded it -Josh's limp-wristed "No Rain" - surely the most hateful hippie song of the 1990's (yes, it even sucks more than anything by The Spin Doctors). Christ, I hate that song, and I don't think much of your performance either, Josh. Bye bye. I'll see you and The Bee Girl in hell.

i like storm, except for the fact that if i met her, i think she'd probably rip my head off. she's scary.

I'd still take any of the final four from last season over this bunch. Jordis? Marty? Yes, please.

I agree that the final 4 or 5 from last year on Rockstar INXS had so much more talent than any one in this group.

Who wrote the comment about Gilby Clarke, was it you Dodge? Ford? Whatever shitty little truck you were conceived in. Don't be a douche. On top of Gilby's 3-year stint with GnR, which included one album, numerous videos and a massive world wide tour lasting 3 years, he has written recorded and produced 4 solo albums, toured with Heart and the MC5. Along with being on tour constantly since 1991, he has played in numerous bands with many music greats. He is extremely accomplished and is an amazing guitar player and person. He has toured the world playing music professionally for more than 20 years. The fact that you so easily puke out stupidity only shows how uninformed you really are. He doesn’t tag the “from Guns & Roses” line onto his name every time his name shows up in print. The media does that crap. HE hates that shit!

I just happened along your lame little corner on the web and won't return. Maybe do a little research before reveling how much you don’t know about the members of this band. Jill was the tool for grinding into Gilby. She is so awkward on stage possessing no clue as to how to move around naturally. So all she can resort to is dry-humping the Guitar player. That’s original… and not what the band is looking for. This isn’t a start-up band with 3 “green” musicians; these guys have seen it all and more and are looking for someone with a little more substance.

Don’t be lame!

hahahaha...I'll tell you what's lame Rob, defending Gilby Clark or any of the douchebag's looking to hire on one of these kids to front their "band". The fact that he is willing to be a part of this show reveals Gilby's true colors and that's all I need to base any scathing opinion about him.

Sorry to offend you and your imaginary best friend and idol Gilby Clark...haha...thanks for stopping by

Your right! These guys using this show as a platform to find a singer isn’t the best idea. I can't get past how lame the show is and how painfully obvious it is who shouldn’t sing for this band. Brook burke is a robot when reading the teleprompter and has no clue how to improvise. The format is below these three musicians and I wish this wasn't how they were going about finding a singer.

Gilby is not an imaginary friend, nor is he a best friend or idol. I do know him however and have jammed with a few times and have met and hung out with him on numerous occasions. I don’t find defending him lame; he’s a great guy and an amazing guitar player. DON’T worry, you didn't offend me; I just found your comment very uninformed and very undeserving. I’ll always speak out against comments such as yours in regards to musicians who I feel deserve more respect.

Love the guys in the band, hate the show… but can’t turn away!
