FIRST and thanks for the spoiler warning Dave, but it was too late, and I'm pissed. Hey if anyone on here wants to go to the spoiler sites for yourself, fine. But don't post the information here and ruin it for everyone!

I've been a Ryan fan, but I did not like his performance tonight, and Storm's was even worse, but as I've said here before, I'm not a Storm fan, and she needs to go. She doesn't fit with Supernova. Why is she still there - because Tommy is hot for her? It seems like the contestants are trying so hard during the elimination performances, that they are getting worse and worse in quality. I agreed with Ryan's closing remarks tonight. He had talent and songwriting skills that could have given Supernova some longevity, but I think it is obvious they are looking for a singer to fit into a mold, and not bring any new direction to the table.

I like Lukas, but I didn't like his performance with Supernova tonight. It seems like Toby or Dilana is the best fit vocally and as an image for Supernova. Ryan and Lukas would be better off finding their own groove with a different project.

Toby was amazing on Storm's song last night. WOW. I didn't used to be a Toby fan, but he was great on the Supernova track. He really fits in, and I'm a big Toby fan now. And his version of "Layla" is off the hook - only song worthy to pay money for from the show.

How could there have been a record breaking number of votes last night when so many people couldn't vote online last night?? And how can Brooke say that Magni is winning the competition just because he was never in the bottom three last night? From what I understand, there will be a FINAL FOUR based on the public voting, and then it is subjective by Supernova to decide from there.

STOP THE SPOILERS! .....going to go watch Project Runway now.

First post? I won't ruin it for anyone, but I will agree with the choice made! Just wanted to tell you that you looked great as always tonight! What will I ever do without seeing you twice a week when this is over?! Come up with something for the winter blahs!!!

4th time this week? DAY-UM boy your making up for lost time!

Dude, Whos the smokin' hot Seniorita!? DAYUM!!

Rock on man... shame this wasn't going on when i was at work earlier, or, I noticed it going on maybe?

Keep it up, Peace

Live again?...awesome! I missed SN, still at work, which sucks! But I have TiVO and know who left thanks to the spoilers. So I am reading your book waiting for 11pm. All I can say is I sure hope there is a happy ending.

Love everything you do! Sorry that RS is over in a couple of weeks, but hopefully TPC will come to my town!

Love to all..........

Its awesome to hear more live SRL, Dave. "This is MY show suckaaa" haha! That was great!

Cool, I feel like a virgin, this will be my first time listening to you LIVE -

Ooh, I'm going to listen to this stuff and see if you have good taste or not! ;)

Sacrificing Law & Order for it so fingers crossed!

I thought the show was good tonight. I was rocking a few times. The thing about music is it really is an "agree to disagree" situation. I hate the shit my neighbour plays and he probably can't stand mine so saying who I like or didn't like doesn't mean shit, someone liked them all! It's up to the band who wins in the end.

On a side note, I'd leave my husband for that Raiana....gorgous!!

Lv,Ruby

Hey Dave,

Just on a break with my Diploma studies!
Just wanted to say Hi!!
Hope alls well and Have a great evening!

Nancy :-)

They did Ryan a Favor.. it's better to go this way then to A. have an emotional conflict later on tour with Ryan, B. Ryan is very able to go solo with his own style and technique and do very well. In fact I would buy his CD just to help legitimize him. Which brings me to this actually - As Dave said, whoever wins will always be the winner of a reality show, unlike the rest of the band, the winner will have that stigma to live with... Now Ryan won't, now Ryan can do his own and tour the next 20 years if he chooses, and not have to worry that after SuperNova is done, where he will go next. : I think it's a good choice. Buy his album, make him a real artist minus the reality show curse.. let toby live the angst , be dirty and sweaty and make the mistake.. Go Ryan Go.. Do it YOUR way now !! (Storm and the Ol'Lady are novelty now, no worry about Toby/ Ryan shoot out..)

Man, I'm so bummed. Ryan was the reason I watched this show. Tommy and the boys, I couldn't care less about. Their music is pretty mediocre if you ask me. Definitely not up to your level, Dave. I will follow Ryan's career. I hope he kicks ass. I have a feeling he will leave SN in the dust.

I think Ryan was simply saying he felt they could go 20 years.. can't be a wuss after bustin your ass all this time.. He had high hopes.. no contreversy there.. Better to be honest then blowin ass..

Dave
Tonight's song was amazing. Lukas is a great fit. His style and creativity make him stand out, and from the little footage I've seen of your songwriting skills, it seems he brings a tremendous amount of songwriting talent to the table. I think he gives Supernova a sound that's new, and that's now.
LOVE YA!!!

Dave, only two more weeks of eye candy....that's you dude!

Thanks for autographing the hot pink bra in Toronto last week...my friend LOVED it, and the Bachellorette party was awesome! Thanks again!

Jesus, Supernova songs really suck so far.

They are really disappointing after hearing all the great tunes that everyone is belting out.

The only reasonably good thing is the drumming.
The guitar is about as basic as every garage band I have ever heard and the lyrics are about as deep as my bathtub. Lukas would be the perfect fit with all that....

Sickboy

Ryan sucked. He looks like a constapated David Blaine and all he does is run around and scream. And I told you Dave that Magni was the best one and the fans agree with me !! I have no idea why you don't like him, and it's obvious you don't. He is a great singer and an easy going guy.

Sorry to see Ryan go. I was not a huge fan of his, but he did make the most effort to change it up. Storm and Dilana are just annoying. My 4 year old son wants to know "what the heck is that" in regard to Dilana. She's getting far too much credit for what she does. Although I would tend to consider SN more of a band that I'd like over INXS, I think the talent last season was WAY better than anything I've seen this season. My favorite? Definitely the house band. They are tight.

how is storm supposed to "grow" when they don't give her specific constructive feedback?? They say, "great job," "solid performance," "excellent vocals," and then Gilby vaguely says "give me something memorable."

Ryan grew because they gave him very specific feedback on things he needed to improve on. They haven't given that to Storm, so how is she going to grow with such vague feedback? What, specifically, would you like to see her change??

I feel ya Dave.

Next Pirates of the Caribbean... you gotta be Captain Jack Sparrow's wild rocker brother. You need our votes, you got em.

Rock on

Now that was AWESOME!! Lukas rocked the house with Supernova.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DAMN YOU SUPERNOVA! They didn't have to pick him but why couldn't they have let him stay on a bit longer?
I know, I know, Dave, you play no part in their decision-making. That's why I still love you.

As much as I love Dilana, as a performer, I don't think she belongs with Tommy and his crew. No way...to many man hater issues. It will affect the band...deffinitely, and at the wrong times. Sorry babe, I will be a fan, but you would ruin this band...or Tommy would end up killin' her..lol...kiddin'.

I like Lukas' change in appearance and attitude. He is adorable, just what the band needs. He is so laid back and non chalant...however you spell it. Perfect for those crazy hectic road trips that make you want to choke someone without the historical issues.

Appearance wise, I think he is taking some pointers from Dave...smarty.
Dave: "dude, you bitin' off me"? lol.

He is cute, I changed my whole view of him from the beginning...he totally fits...him and Tommy would conquer in many ways. Great fit.

...........but, what the hell do I know...I listen to disco. lol.

xoxoxox~
m

Lame! Thanks Dave for Supporting Ryan all the way there at the end. I own his solo CD and Stage CD and I will be following his career for sure. I was hoping he would make it to the finals for selfish reasons, but I didn't see him with the band. He will be just fine, I know it! Loves to ya!

Dave, Love your show!!!!!!! Give some props to my girl D, she needs a "hug" this week! Any ideas on the rumors floating of having two singers front the band? Can you imagine ticket sales with D and Lukas!!!!

I agree, the comments about Storm tonight were bogus. Storm rocks, I love that girl. She won't win however. Didn't like the way Lukas sounded on the Supernova song either. Strange because I loved him on Tues night.

phenomenal idea Skitty! Dave get "mom" on it. Pirates of the Caribbean -Bad in Black-The Sparrow Brothers.

I have to say that I have been with Dilana all the way & didn;t like how suddenly they focused on her being the bad guy. I am still a Dilana fan but OMG, Toby was awesome! Between the song with Storm & Rebel Yell, I may become a convert.

Dave,

Good thing I didn't look at this before I left work. I did the DVR thing. Love it! I just watched the show and I was not at all impressed with Lucas's singing with SN. I barely heard him the majority of the time. I couldn't hear what he was singing except with the couple Shine On's he sang a little louder. I think his voice is too low for SN. Right now, my top three picks to sing for SN is Dilana, Magni, or Toby. Next week Magni needs to sing with SN for me to finalize who is my pick for SN.

BTW - I agree with you on Dilana's performance of Mother Mother last night. I thought she rocked!

Peace!

I'm hurtin for dilana. Not carin' who wins or loses... she shouldn't either.

Who shows up for an audition and gets publicly humiliated with their worst moment sobbing out loud blasted over international television? And shown over and over. No wonder she is rattled to the core, that's how she looks.

It's like Mark Burnett pinned a scarlet letter on her for a while. It's like woman power freaked out the rock world so much they had to take one down. That is freakin me out to see that. Man, she's not running for office, she just showed up to sing for some people.

That was just so wrong. I feel like checkin in on her like a friend, see if she's OK.

But I'm just an out there fan, part of the TV audience, speculating about someone I don't even know. Media today is pretty crazy.

I don't think Supernova wanted to destroy someone on the way to picking out a singer...
If someone could see if D is OK, tell her let the chips fall where they may. Now if she doesn't get the gig I'm afraid she'll feel destroyed and that's not right, might be the best thing that ever happened to her.

Oh well. Thanks for listening.

All I got to say is 'Thank-you Dave' for posting that yummy picture. Oh - and thank-you for admiting that you are part of the supernova conspiracy to rule the world. I appreciate the honesty. Oh - and ya, Ryan rocks and he will be fine as long as he doesn't turn into a complete a-hole!

Hey Dave!!!

Just got back from a fun day at Canada's Wonderland. I am glad to hear you live again on SRL ...... keep up the good work !!!

P.S. If you have any more links to interviews or preformances u have done ... pls pls pls post them. We all up in T.O greatly appreciate it !!1

Hi Dave, I enjoy your comments even the ones I don't agree with. So i will share my opinion with you. I think Lukas has it all, the voice, the look, the preformance, and I think that will take him far. I sure hope it does because I want to own some of his music.
Much Love to You from a 50 year old wanna be groupie HAHAHAHA

Listening to your SRL show right now, loving the Rock Star talk and the song choices tonight. Would like to send some questions your way too but I don't have AIM and I won't ever get AIM!

Oh, and you're bang on when you say that you just can't fucking win no matter what you do. Can't please em all.

Go Dave! Go Lukas!

Dave,

I can't believe Ryan is gone this early. Magni and Storm should have gone before Ryan did. Ryan is truly a great artist (I just got his cds, even with his band Stage) and I don't think I'll be able to watch this show as I used to anymore.

We've seen 6 or 7 straight kick ass performances from Ryan and he will be missed. I will support him from here on.

Can't take credit for the Pirates idea for Dave, someone else posted it a couple of posts ago and nobody picked up on it. Wish I knew who it was to pass along proper credit but read too fast and don't feel like looking for it.

Thought it was a great idea so thought I'd bring it back to life. Pirates... the musical... rock opera at its creepiest. The Sparrow brothers take over LA and destroy TV...

Just to comment on Skitty's blurb. I think our society takes immense pleasure in building someone to reach the top of the stool and then takes ten fold pleasure in tearing them down. It happens in sports, entertainment and even in most workplaces. I think this is learned behavior and find the jealous personality types are usually the wolves.

Dave, you are way too funny!
If I had AIM installed, I would be hammering the shit out of that little dicked 'fendertorn877' haha. For everyone else, he said Dave is a fag and his music sucks! Give him a hammer!

Dave, don't know if you're reading blog comments while the show's running (I don't have a MySpace page I can't IM a message). So I'll post a question here. What's the deal with the lack of airt and miketime for Jason Newstead? He didn't say one fucking thing during the whole show?

SRL is the shit! Love my fucking hoodie! TPC kills!

Proud to be a Spreadradiolive cocksucker! haha

ASk the guys to update their space like you do. Maybe we could all be fans of them too like we are of you.....??????No way..your just too cool!!!!

Hello Dave..
I just want to say that I'm Really proud of Magni's Performance last night :)And I'm allways proud of him.! he's from a small country and he's one of the 5 who's left.. I never thougt 6 months ago that he would be doing this, But look at him know :P I think that's awsome man..! But all of the rockers have showed that they are a great singers and it's hard to tell who's the best now.. It's not about who's the best singer anaymore, it's about who will fit the band the best so I want to see Magni and Storm singing with Supernova on the next show, like lucas, Toby and Dilana got to do so the fans can judge themselves who is the best singer for the band:D All of them are allways getting better and I look forward to the next show ;)
And can you say to Magni that we are really proud of him here back in Iceland ;)
Lots of Thanks ;)
Byebye

Yo! Diggin' the TPC disc!! Great stuff. My wife even digs it. And that girl is one musically critical woman.

I'm with you, btw. Dilana kicks ass. Rather than see her make SN, I'd like to see you and her do a side project, possibly. You two seem to have the same dirty vibe. It's awesome and I'd really like to see something come outta that. As for Supernova, they have a lot of other talent to choose from--I mean that sincerely.

I agreed that Dilana was the best performance on 'Mother Mother', but did not vote for her, figuring that others would vote for her and that SN would't kick her out in any case. Instead, I voted for Ryan and Storm, hoping that Toby would be kicked out. I think others did strategic voting and put Dilana in the bottom three.

Toby - love Australia...but, he needs a U.S.A. rock couch or something...a little bit soft, not that it's a bad thing...but, I see him and think...would make a nice boyfriend, not so much American Rock Star type...hey, not personally speaking, but you know. Ausies are like really "nice". He's cute, but he needs a rock couch...and then, perhaps. Makes an awesome back up singer, though...seems to get more confidence singing back up.

Magni - wants to be a solo artist. It's pretty bloody obvious...again, not a bad thing...but, team spirit thing not showing up there. Although, I do love what he does...my cousin worked for iceland air...lol..Croat. So, I almost feel like I'm talkin' about family when I talk about some of these foreigners. Specially, Toby...he looks like my nephew...who IS hot, by the way....but, rock star? hmmmm...dunno.

Storm - should I even make a catty comment? She'll do anything for "it", not sure that means being an artist...but, she wants to be madonna...quite obvious. who would want to be madonna... ?? That red dress looked like she just came out of a cocktail party...yuk.

Ryan *-- like the name, but I am thinking more of a solo artist, too. Like...that magraw kid? saw him when he just came out in brookleen...Ryan reminds me of him...he's doing well now, (go chariot guy)
Love the piano mozart thing...but, it was overkill with the outfit...didn't go... though...right...perhaps give Mr. Davis a call...I'm sure he may like you. Billy Joelish...

Dilana - reminded me of a fiona apple, and what's her face...the chick that sings angry shit about men...what's her name....hmmm...u know...uhm...I think she's under maverick label?

Just adding my dance hall - 2 cents worth. Takes alot for a club queen to sit through this stuff....lol.

with the utmost respect, ofcourse.

m

Dave, seriously, you're a love. Thanks for the radio groove while chillin after the show. It's like the only thing I watch on TV... if TV can deliver great live music like that, why watch the other crap?

Music and love, what else

the girl btw for whoever asked before is raiana from the khz, damn good band.

Hi DAVE
I love your new CD. It is awesome. What perfect synergy lukas has w/ Supernova. Lukas also looks great standing w/ the band. They just fit. The new supernova track was killer and lukas killed it.
kisses

Crappy show performance wise (although I loved Lukas) but a fun show because the used car salesman just had to go....
Dilana and Ryan both sucked tonight...

Lukas seems to be growing as a person...I just love his attitude. He seems to be truly competing only with himself and I like that.

I thought Lukas was talented before but a friend of mine showed me this web site featuring our own Canadian Mr. Lukas Rossi with his band Rise Electric and OH MY LORD CAN THE BOY SING!!! I think every Lukas fan should check it out also check out this other spot www.myspace.com/riseelectricmusic. Love the song "Lonely Ones" on there.

OH DAVE
I forgot .. you looked hot tonight. AGAIN

Lukas needs to stop "Acting" like he gives a damn about Dilana! He is so fake. Everyone on the show so far has gotten a spanking and Dilana handeled it with the most couth and class. She admitted to her mistakes and appologized. Lukas can't sing his words clearly and is pathetic. When Dilana sings she is clear, tight, hits EVERY NOTE, even in the screaming and jumping! Anyone out there remember Janis or Tina? Dilana IS the next rock n roll female of our future- with or without SN. I am 55 years old and I went to the original "WOODSTOCK" in 1969 as well as the 25th anniversary "WOODSTOCK" in 1994. Been a hard rock fan sinse 1969 attending over 200 rock concerts. Dilana will be on top with the rest of our female rockers of all time.

magni could win!

mike

Lukas is from Canada would really expect anything less...lol, my man rocks!

very nice assortment of music on srl

LUKAS will be rock'n The Joint on New Years
Great performance

Ha Ha Ha.Man that has to be the worst versions of Baba O'Riley ever done in the history of rock and roll.I've seen garage bands do it MUCH better than that.Funny how no one mentioned during the whole season of the show that RYAN CAN'T SING A LICK.Hence the patented jumping off stuff move.

Storm was pretty crappy and Dilana was worse.WOW!

Lukas was a complete rockstar don't know if I dug the song much but the dude brought it in spades.

That new song had a good hook, but you couldn't understand a word Lukas sang.

Saw the spoiler. I'm not surprised. He was still green, pulling out the "Rock Star 101" poses. Props that he he tried to grow out of that, but it wasn't for the song...it was for the show.

Toby's performance was good, but I hate that song. I didn't get Dilana's song. Lukas was great on "Lithium" and Storm did a clean, solid, but careful rendition. She's awesome, you guys aren't giving her credit for what she pulls off every week.

But Magni's performance of that Live song was incredible. That song demands power and he delivered 100%.

I haven't seen the final three performances tonight, though, so no comments.

But dude, Storm deserves credit.

whooohooooo LA WOMAN!! Great show Dave. Glad I finally got to catch it. How do you send IM"S? I know I saw a aim addy somewhere, now I can't find it.

The new SN song was not great. Lukas was not bad but he sure made the old guys look... old, very, very old. It felt weird and not right.

They should go with Toby. They look and sound the best together.

That performance with Lukas stole the show, that was absolutely killer! I loved it. He really has a way to inject energy and passion into a song. The vocals were great and he looked absolutely stunning fronting Supernova. He looked every inch the rockstar, sexy, gorgeous, vibrating with energy. Stagecraft wise, no-one tops him. He's so dammed believable in this very contrived world.

Shonie, the AIM username is "spreadradiolive"

DAMN! Three different computers using Firefox, IE and Opera and the Talk page crashes every single time!

Is it, by any chance, just a Flash IRC client? And if so, can I get into the chat with a regular IRC client?

Anyone? I'm loving the shows, but I hate being locked out by shitty software (Flash player) :(

Loved the SN song tonight. So far out of the three songs of SN this was my favorite. Lukas looks great with the band and they fit well together. Both Toby and Dilana did well with their SN song - but Lukas crushed it. He is my pick to front the band. Take care

DN< you are spoiling us. SRL heaven-hearing your voice all week, seeing you on tv, I can live with this........Thank you for being so good to your fans!!:) Db

Now, this may sound messed up. But when Lukas played with the band, he didn't look like part of the band. He rocked, I don't want to say he stood out, but I thought of him being so powerfull that the band would sort of wash him out. It was like he didn't want to share the spotlight or something like that to me. I can't put my finger on it. Dilana, and Toby did a better job of being with the band with out blending in. I can't wait to see who they pick next week to sing!!

Hey Grandpa Starla, it's way past your bedtime. You sound tired.

"Dilana IS the next rock n roll female of our future"

"Dilana will be on top with the rest of our female rockers of all time"

Whoa!

And I thought that Dave was a bit overoptimistic when he said that Dilana's performance was the best of RS's two seasons...

Please take your medication before you go to sleep.

I just have to say one thing to you Dave - but you can't tell a single soul, okay? This has to remain a secret!........You are the only man in history to make me salivate everytime I see you. - Just don't tell my husband, he'd be a bit jealous. (I drink a lot of water during Rockstar to cover up the drooling :) )

I think if Ryan had toned down tonight's performance just a bit, he would've been kept and Storm would've been sent packing. It was just too over the top. Gilby's expression when Ryan was on top of the speakers totally confirmed he was going home.

"Gilby's expression when Ryan was on top of the speakers totally confirmed he was going home."

Yup! That's what I saw...the look kind of took the wind out of the T.V. performance/expectation.

mike

Thanks Blow meister you beat me to the punch. Hey Starla isn't there a rerun of episode of The Partridge Family you need to be watching on TV?

RIDE DARK HORSE... INTO THE SUNSET!
Thank God! Ryan would have NEVER been able to front Supernova. It hurt to watch him try so hard! ha ha!

DAVE- Do you read all of these posts?!

Found it.

Dave, I fully believe that you are telling us the truth, as you know it. I'm not particularly into 'conspiracy theories'......but....the way all you guys fawn all over Lukas, it's SO obvious he'll be chosen and the spoiler (from Janet Charleton) will hold true.

The fact that Magni, Toby and Dilana have even been to the bottom 3, and Lukas has not, is a testament to one of two things;
a) The fact that the viewers cannot be trusted or
b) The results are rigged in favour of Tommy's paramour, Lukas.

Sorry, but I don't believe for a second that they would ever entertain the idea of a woman fronting them. Even a superstar like Dilana. These guys want to party with a guy, be raunchy and hang out with their collective groupies.

The reason I've come to this conclusion is simple; Lukas just isn't that good......He's ok, but not on the same level as Magni or Dilana. Every song he sings sounds the same, and he has zero stage presence....simply ends up pacing the stage and I find it uncomfortable. Not to mention I could not make out the words to the new SN song.

Everytime you drool over his same-old, same-old performances, I swear to Goddess I feel like I'm living in a bizarro world.

Let me be clear - this is not hate. It's simply a clear observation of repeated lacklustre performances.

....and I say this as a Canadian. No bias whatsoever.

Wow, it was a perfect night. Dilana sucked so badly that there was no excuses. Ryan sucked so badly that he got sent home to squint in his own mirror, and Storm, well, she's hotter than a jalapeno lodged inside a Rosie O'Donnell fat roll. Lukas was GREAT with supernova! Toby was GREAT on his encore! It's definitely down to Lukas, Toby, Magni. I'll be happy with either Lukas or Toby leading supernova as long as Magni gets to front the House Band.

Rise Electric is indeed good, good stuff for the ones of y'all who haven't discovered it.

Great show. Had one last request

Tell Tommy to pull his pants up.

Partridge Family...hey don't knock it.

Come on get Happy...LOL.

Geez, u know I have a wine stain on my ivory rugs that is about a month old. Doesn't seem to bother me, though.

go figure. ;-)

Thanks Angeleyes! Sorry didn't see your post till just now.

And I couldn't understand the words to the Lukas-Supernova song either until I played the song back a second time. It's understandable if you're listening close enough. Talks about someone running into the dark and hiding but there's a little light still shining and guiding them back home. Pretty cool.

I'm ganna go become a Lukas fan, now...just discovered this "groupie" thing...might be fun.

heading over to his site.

He's funny. We could learn alot from the way he handles women...lol. "People"...really cool.

Dilana can sing...but I still don't think she's going to win. Now she could do a solo career or make a singing name for herself, much like Janis Joplin. That's an unattractive girl who can sing.

mike

Hey Dave,

Good decision letting Ryan go. He was just trying too hard and had no stage presence. Im a true Dilana fan....but what the hell was that tonight? Was it straight Tequila in that wine bottle cause she sounded wacked! Im certain she will get back on track next Tuesday......Im hoping. I just love her!

Peace Dave!

That was just the sexiest thing I've seen yet. Supernova with Lukas Rossi. That was amazing! I LOVED the song and Lukas's delivery of it. Amazing energy, amazing connection, great vocals, he always mixes up the vocal delivery, excellent job!
I'm convinced I tell you, convinced! He is so current, he rocked that song and made me love it and I'm a diehard Cleavage/Rise Electric fan who wasn't convinced he would be able to do much with songs that are already pre-arranged and pre-written. I'm a lover of Lukas's own music but I KNOW NOW I can also love Supernova with Lukas singing. Check please!

Are you the official spokesperson for RS?

I think there should be a time limited on RS: SN chat with SRL for sure. We are missing out on a whole shit load of other VERY important topics. TPC would be one, fuck man you worked your ass off. I feel we need to limit our SN chat. Plus people want to talk about something different.

What do you guys think?

Just reading the post about "strategic voting" Guess I don't get that. Why not just send all the votes you make to the person you want to win?

Every vote you make to someone in order to get another one out takes away a vote for the person you really want??

Don't know about all you folks that are probably way younger than I, but I have a hard enough time with the 8 character code you have to put in everytime. LOL Even with trifocals those wavy lines sometimes look like l's or i's and C's look like o's. I end up with a lot of do over's just voting for Dilana.

Supernovae occur when a huge, mature star effectively runs out of fuel and collapses in on itself.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5298726.stm

I thought Dilana should have been the one to go. The Beatle song was weak! It was so weak I turned the channel to catch the Dodgers game.

Coming back to RS:SN I see Ryan get the boot. Well, one thing is true...he did grow the most. I think his early performances cost him. Too little too late. Plus some of the later performances were kind of forced. Good but forced. That piano number he did yesterday was pretty good to me but it showed his true style...he needs to a bit more "restraint" than what SN is looking for to be effective in his style.

mike

LOL Shonie. I had to try a couple times, too. And I'm not so old!

DAVE,

You are a fan of Ryan's? FUCK you have shitty taste- I never would have guessed. Bauhaus...Trent Reznor...Ryan Star??? Yeah fucking right. What a HUGE pile of shite Baba O'Riley was. No, Ryan, I won't see you on the charts, I'll see you at Starbuck's pouring my fucking coffee you poseur.

Frankly, I don't think Supernova is gonna find their lead singer in this contest. I'm not sure Supernova has found themselves as a band yet based on the three songs we've heard, but maybe that's because they keep switching singers.

Loved that curve from Dilana, though I really want to give her a cup of hot tea before she sings. Didn't it seem that she was channeling Zayra a little tonight?

And you KNOW Zayra's coming back on that viewer pick.

DAVE, HAVE ZAYRA DO PSYCHO KILLER!

There wasn't any talk after the number, but I thouhgt that was the best Supernova track so far. And though he hasn't been my first choice, Lukas seemed to fit well with Supernova.

Danikah, I think Dave tries to do his best. There are many questions about RS. Just trying to explaine the issues. I'm cool with it!:)

Supernova made a huge mistake. There are no singers left that are unique except for Lukas, and you can't understand half of his lyrics on any song. Dilana sounds like Sass Jordan, and the rest of 'em sound like average singers of the past as well. Storm can be entertaining, but she would probably go solo after the first album. If Ryan can use the momentum right, he will sell more records than SN.

Hey Dave! Good to see Ryan go home. I'm sure my mom will be right there with you! She is secretly hoping for either Magni or Toby.She also hopes for Storm as she is afraid of what crap Dilana can bring to the band. She likes her voice and her spirit but she also knows where she comes from and knows it can and will cause more trouble then enough. ok. my mom wasn't so nice with the words.
Anyway, my mom comes home from the hosptial they hope monday. And I am back to school Tuesday. I hope she comes home then. I sure miss her. Well, I just wanted to say great show and that my mom has a crush on you and she adores (blah her words) Jason's playing. I guess she was a huge Matelica fan. It was between him and ozzy. At least that is what she is always saying. Well, have a great nite and bye bye.

Although Ryan is very talented, I must agree that his style doesn't really fit the band. But Ryan has more Supernova potential than Storm and she really should have been the one to go home.

Ryan would have been a REAL front man...steeling the thunder from Gilby & Jason, and maybe even some from Tommy. Egos prevented them from choosing the best frontman - Ryan Star.

pet ophilia "FUCK you have shitty taste- I never would have guessed. Bauhaus...Trent Reznor...Ryan Star???"

FIRST: When was Ryan Star compared to Reznor? And the way you throw Bauhaus in the mix. Thats odd, could it have to do with the last nails tour? Ryan Star isint going to stand up very tall in that fucking talent pool buddy.

SECOND: As for the no taste bit, I liked Ryan, the guy has more talent then serving coffee at Starbucks.

THIRD: What do you do?

Hey Dave,
I was wondering what you thought about fansites that you see popping up on the net now: StormLargeFans.com or Lukas-Rossi.net and the like. I mean there are tons of you out there too. Ok thanks love your stuff bye
Hilary

Oh great Dark One..(after staying up all night, and recruiting votes, Magniacs succeeded)I was running around the yard in my black velvet nightgown screaming MAGNI!! I bet your neighbors love you too!

O'DARK ONE..please answer a question..why do you not care for Magni? I fell in love with Magni's music and voice the first time I heard it. I've been singing "Hvar sen eg fer, Hvert sem pu leidir mig" for a month...in Icelandic..and I'm from Chicago!(yep..it took more than a few minutes to learn the lyrics)Someone finally translated them for me tonight on the message board...he has great fans..
Just what is it that you feel he is lacking?
Nightmare for everyone,
KEEP IT CREEPY

Dave,
you looked beautiful tonight. i don't know what other word to use, you are so good to look at. and nice jacket! i love to listen to you talk on the show. and can't wait to see you play again, i think you're coming up on carson daly show or something.
looking forward to the TPC tour.
love and peace and thanks for being here for us. and i thought Lukas was great tonight with the band.

WTF?!?!?! I must admit that I am in shock about the result this evening? What the hell were they thinking? Granted the performance was exactly the greatest that I've seen (in fact, I thought that Dana did a better job with the song a few weeks ago) but I think that it was Storm's time to go. Don't get me wrong, I think that the girl is completely kick ass awesome (I even voted for her. Only personal loathing of Coldplay prevented me from voting for Ryan) but in terms of SN -- Ryan is a better fit than Storm. As for Dilana -- only her offstage drama landed her in the bottom three. She killed on Mother Mother.
Didn't really enjoy the SN song tonight. But I'm not really a Lukas fan. His voice is incredibly weak and only his attitude has gotten him this far. A cheap ripoff of last years winner JD Fortune. And I'm Canadian.

Just listen to the SN song again. It is soo much clearer the second time around. I just think anytime you hear a song for the first time there are going to be words that you stand back and say "what was that" when you hear it again then you realize what the words were. Lukas kicked it tonight. Two thumbs up to SuperNova and Lukas. And Dave I just have to say that you are the best host that I've ever seen. You tell it like it is...very little sugar coating going on.

Thoughts on why SN chose Ryan to go:

1. He made their future frontwoman Dilana look bad.
2. They were intimidated with his original song Back of Your Car
3. They're still waiting for Storm to run around the pool naked.

Dilana sucked tonight. If it was based on tonight's performance she would be heading back to Houston. Being a creative artist is based solely on making decisions regarding taste whether something is cool or not and Dilana is consistently not cool.

Liked the new Supernova track better than the other two but didn't like Lukas singing on it. He didn't fit well.

Toby keeps getting better dude. I used to hate him and think he was obnoxious, not anymore.

Storm and Ryan both tried WAY too hard tonight. Storm was tolerable, Ryan just sucked.

Way to go Magni. He's doing something right. Maybe the best singer will win?!

Correction:

"I thought Dilana should have been the one to go. The Beatle song was weak! It was so weak I turned the channel to catch the Dodgers game."

I meant to say Storm.

mike

Tommy Lee's is on Kimmel right now. (EST)

Wow, I can't believe Dilana was in the bottom three. I hope Supernova isn't as hypersensitive as the fans, because they'd be nuts not to choose her - she's got a killer voice, and stage presence none of the others can compete with. I was completely unimpressed by Lukas fronting Supernova tonight - his voice just doesn't fit with their sound. I too was surprised not to see Storm go, but neither she nor Ryan is going to front the band, so maybe they had some random reason for letting him go first. Whatever, at this point I think the fan votes are almost irrelevant - the decision is in Supernova's hands at this point, regardless of who's in the bottom three.

Thanks again for the posts Dave - always cool to hear what you're thinking.

"My favorite? Definitely the house band. They are tight.Posted by: Msmcmutt at August 30, 2006 07:47 PM"

Agreed!, tonight for sure...altho I do think Lukas is going win this. Didn't care for the SN tune... nothing happening there.

Does anyone really see a woman fronting this band? I see a woman maybe under them or behind them, sorry to be sexist..but, do ya think these guys will put up with a Dilana (thinking Storm and friend(s)will go next week in a double/triple elimination) and bill it as "Dilana and SuperNova", they weren't looking too impressed tonight with her.

Hi Dave, what a RockStar show tonight!

Finally Supernova has a song that is worthy to put in an album! Lukas looked alright up there with them.
Ryan definitely went too far with the stage antics and looked desperate, good choice to go.
Storm wasn't bad tonight, though I was expecting more from her.
Dilana, where do I start??
Dedicating a performance to yourself and then sucking big time ... she was terrible. Last night you said she was the best in the 2 yrs of RockStar, and tonight you should admit that was one of the worst.
The job is officially between Toby, Lukas, & Magni.

You should take a listen to Juke Kartel (Toby's band) as they sound similar to yours, (TPC) ... really good!
And your radio station is awesome! Dare I ask how much music do you have in your collection? Do you have to pay any royalties for the songs you play?
Cheers!

Hey dave!Whats up with this show on how they attacking DILANA its just wrong.They already shown the media clinic last wed and then they showed more of the same drama on the night when people are voting just isn't fair.After listening to storms interview with lisa wood on 104.9 I WONDER WHAT REALLY WENT DOWN.
http://www.adambot.com/storm-lisawood-interview3.mp3

Agreed that Lukas is no Sinatra but he isn't trying to be. It was definitely the best SN track so far.

I thought Storm was pretty good either a little more or a lot less asscrack would have worked. TLee may disagree.

Psycho Killer. Tough song to pull off, there must be a reason nobody covers it. Poor choice by Dilana maybe she should have left the horns on.

Already posted my thoughts on Ryan.

Thanks for the mix on SRL Dave, gr8 job on all three shows today :)

happy HUMP Day y'all

Brian in Calgary(looking for a hump)

Dave, awesome amount of Spread Radio lately! Thanx so much!

Love hearing your perspective on Rockstar. Good to hear from a pro - and the SuavePorn boys can't be open about it (not that I blame them, they're still getting their sht together).

You rock, Dave! Thanks again.

"The job is officially between Toby, Lukas, & Magni."
thems is my thoughts exactly...

I'm not impressed with the SN songs but you have to think that the songs aren't the best ones. But with the songs so far I think magni would probably be the best to front the band. There's nothing fake about Magni. He's straight out himself. Dare I say: a manly rocker.

mike

Dilana phoned in Psycho Killer. She sucked the life out of the audience, too.

Toby's momentum is awesome. God, I hope that boy wins.

BRING BACK ZAYRA!!!!!!!!!

PSYCHO KILLERRRGRRL

Dave.

Ryan was the right choice.

I figure Storm will go next week but the thing is, I hope she gets the chance to rock an original or (gets her wish) a chance to play with SN.

Still a Lukas fan , warming to Toby and have always loved Magni because he is humble and solid and like the best friend we all adore. But his voice may be a bit more grunge than rock.

Anyway - we'll all miss see you up there when SN ends. See you on tour with TPC...

vikki,

No, I don't see Dilana fronting the band for the same reasons you mentioned. Sad but true.

mike

One thing for sure, I have to agree that Tuesday's show was the best in the 2 seasons of Rockstar! By the way I'm glad Dave put the singers on notice that the show is actually his. That's why I watch it too. He a Navarro.

mike

Wow, I have to say I was disappointed tonight after watching the results show, but finding this blog and the link to SRL makes up for it. Love the music. Maybe it's the whole late 60s birthday thing or something, but every song you've played in the past hour has been great. I checked out the Panic Channel on myspace, too. I'm really liking what I hear.

The internet rocks.

"The reason I've come to this conclusion is simple; Lukas just isn't that good......He's ok, but not on the same level as Magni or Dilana. Every song he sings sounds the same, and he has zero stage presence..."

Everyone has an opinion. In MY opinion your words couldn't be LESS TRUE if they had been spewed out by the old Iraqi Information minister. Lukas is always changing up his voice...and he positively owns the stage!

did anybody else think Storm holding up Dilana like a damsel in distress at the end of her set was just like so totally hot

I don't think Ryan would have been happy fronting SN, but I still wish he would have stayed longer. He was the most talented musician of the bunch, too good for SN.

So I made a special trip tonight out here somewhere in the valley to post about the show.... I have to say that I was a Ryan fan and still am, but something about him lately, no make that something about the "others," made me not pull for him so much as of late. I have to say that MAGNI IS A THIEF! You haven't heard? Well, he just stole my heart last night with his comments on why we should we pick him and not the others. And Toby? Damn his sexy little bod and antics have really gotten my ears to perk right up to attention. I have to say that vocally Ryan just hasn't been my fav lately either. I am however really dig'n Toby, Storm, and Magni's vocals. That's about it. Damn this is so much easier to do than from my freakn don't call it a phone device!! Oh, the good news for me is that with a little severance, I am going to get a new laptop in the coming week! As our beloved would say, "Awwwww hell yeah!!!" I kinda am secretly wishing that the boys will choose both a dude, (Magni OR Toby) and Storm~~~~~~~~~~~~ That would be $$fucking outrageous.
peace.

ps. did anyone else hear the awesome coup d't. with T.K. and Morningwood tonight on indie? sounds like i'm not the only one hate'n on my bank job....oh, make that my old job.
out here we call those survival jobs, anyway.
back to survival~~

Hi Dave. Despite his enormous talent, I understand why Ryan had to ultimately go, but he was sent away so unfairly...kicked in the groin was how he must have felt, especially when the first vocalist spoken to has always been the 'safe' one. I don't understand the Dilana thing, either. I thought she was dreadful tonight, and I certainly would not have called her performance this week the "best" in two years. I loved her in the beginning, but she has become pedestrian (admittedly, her behaviour hasn't helped). My vote is for Lukas, who grows on me more every week. I think some of SN's choices are making them quickly less credible. Anyway, that's my two and a half cents. Good night. Gwinnie

Lukas absolutely killed it. It was the most memorable SN song yet. The only one that i actually remember the chorus melody to. It just worked.

Love the song on the coopertires commercial,ah turnes out is is TRUE NATURE by Jane's addiction- I shudda known:)

Damn, the sound isn't working on this computer!!! Is Dave is on right now?!?? or is he not?
ty

Funny that after a solid show on Tuesday, with great performances by everyone, we get a B3 that gives such a boring show.

Ryan overdid it vocally and physically (to the point that I was not confortable watching him on TV), Storm sang like she had already packed her things (no range, not as much energy as usual), and Dilana showed all her flaws as a performer (limited range, "overacting" songs, and more of "since I don't know how to stand onstage, I might as well just act crazy for a few seconds"). To me, the fact that she chose 'Psycho Killer' to "fit her situation" just shows that she's the one that wants to keep the whole DilanaGate going. So people, stop blaming Mark Burnett or Dave or whoever else produces the show...

Anyways, at this point of the contest, I'm just surprised that the B3 was so lacklustre tonight. Even Lukas was just OK with OrdinaryNova (not getting better). Someone needs to tell Lukas (and Toby) that potatoes are optional: if they remove the potatoe from their mouth before they start signing, we might eventually get to hear and understand what they're signing about. That's two weeks in a row that we can't hear the lyrics to the SN song (I'm sure they were forgettable, but you get the point). At least last week, we got to hear "Hey hey hey" and "Ho ho ho" (unless that was "Hoe hoe hoe" - I'm sure TLee would like that!)

God, I wish I could be more optimistic, but overall, this was a very bad show. The faces of the guys in the band and the remaining contestants said it all.

Let's just hope that next Tuesday will be as good as yesterday. Bummer.

Ok, duh. I just read at SPR live it's a rebr.
goodnight '67er's!

Hey Dave. :-) Hope you’re having an excellent night. :-) I thought you would need to strap yourself in and don a crash helmet for your blog, tonight. ^^ But, *most* people are being extremely civilized and rational. What an unexpected treat. LOL I hope folks continue in that vein… :-) If Lukas Rossi had been named as the lead singer of “Supernova� tonight, I would have been in the stores, tomorrow, to pre-order the CD. Lord in Heaven, that lad hit some soaring notes. He is absolutely exquisite. I want to hear that song, again, and just savour his vocals on it. Lukas is a great fit with the band and increases their coolness ratio exponentially just by sharing the same stage with them. LOL I won’t comment on elimination performances except to say the following two things: at least Storm picked up partway through “Helter Skelter.� And, as for Dilana, it exactly fits with her personality that she dedicated that song not to the fans or anyone else but to *herself.* ^^ Let’s bid farewell to the Dark Horse as he gallops off into the distance. I was a bit incredulous the voting fiasco wasn’t mentioned at all. But considering everything else that’s been censored, suppressed, spun or edited out on the show, maybe it’s not that surprising. LOL ;-) Ah, I missed the live SRL talk about the show. Sorry, I was busy being completely enthralled by Lukas. Isn’t that one of the sins a person *can* get pardoned for? LOL ;-) You looked awesome tonight, dude, as always. Two more weeks of “RS:SN� left and then we’ll have to find some new mischief and musical insanity to delve into… such as, oh, say a live TPC performance, perhaps? ^^ LOL ;-)

I've been think of how to say this about Lukas. I know he's good but, to me, it sounds like he dragging his voice or something...or maybe slurring it on purpose...like it's cool. Kind of like what Britney Spears does with her voice. How do I know about Spears? My nieces...LOL!

Anyway if he continues to do that...it might be his downfall.

mike

What I mean by:

"Kind of like what Britney Spears does with her voice. How do I know about Spears."

Is that it sounds the same but you can tell she's trying to sound good but it doesn't after doing it song after song. I'm not saying Lukas sounds like Spears. Their approach to a song is the same. Again, Lukas has this slur or mumble to the way he sings. It works on maybe one or two songs but not on everyone.

mike

I think it's a good thing, for Ryan sake, that the plug was pulled on him tonight. But I say that in a good way.

I was starting to get worried that during one of his stunts, he'd either fall and literally break a leg or his neck, or hurt someone in the band with the swinging mic, or give one of the fans a concussion with the guitar throwing.

I prefered Ryan the way he was at the beginning of the competition-playing the piano with pure,strong,emotional vocals without all the gimics - Those were his sweet spot performances.
He has a strong fanbase now. Wishing him well!

Last nite I was up voting for hours with the rest of Lukas's fans. We were scared shitless when we saw he was in the bottom - voted HARD.
Just as stunned tonight to see Dilana there! Very awkward watching her try and redeem herself. It reminded me of a moth trapped in a lampshade fluttering crazily to get out. All over the place! Not sure its cool to dedicate a song called Psycho Killer to yourself. Not sure any song should be dedicated to oneself, but particularly not that one, lol!
Lukas, please lock your bedroom door tonite!!!

Hi Dave! You looked awesome as usual on SN tonight!

Unfortunately Ryan ultimately had the same problem that Mig had last year on RS: INXS. He's just too damn talented for the band. It's been obvious to me over the past several weeks that SN isn't going to pick a lead singer based on vocal talent, overall musical talent, or songwriting skills. They are only concerned with a certain "look" which means they'll choose one of the two least talented (vocally) of the remaining rockers: Lukas or Dilana. If they wanted to go for true talent they would pick Magni (or would've choose Ryan). I like Toby too and think he has an outside chance. Storm is good but definitely not for the band and should have went home tonight.
I honestly thought the show sucked tonight. The only good performance was Toby's encore. Lukas was the worst yet of the three who have fronted SN. Storm, Dilana, and even Ryan were nothing more than mediocre either.
At this point, I'm hoping that SN picks Dilana or Lukas so that I won't have to waste my money buying their album or going to one of their concerts. The only rocker that's left that could get me to buy the SN album would be Magni. After watching the whole season I can honestly say that I will be a fan of Ryan Star and of Magni for life, regardless of what happens with SN!
Cheers!

Joanna,

"I prefered Ryan the way he was at the beginning of the competition-playing the piano with pure,strong,emotional vocals without all the gimics - Those were his sweet spot performances."

Exactly why he got the boot. He was performing well as of late, but he was pretending. Those early shows was the real Ryan. He wasn't right for the band and SN actually did him a favor by letting him go.

mike

The SN track tonight was ok, but the band needs to visit Lukas' hairdresser and change up their wardrobe a bit....
Lukas' voice has improved a lot since the beginning of the show, and the second time I listened to the song i heard all the lyrics...not a problem
and lukas looked amazing tonight...true rock star, no wonder Toby is adopting some of lukas' style (check out the guy liner tonight, and the hair, and the moves...)

Dave,

You are awesome dude!

Thanks for reading all these posts.

Now, what I really don't get is SN songs aren't that good and Gilby is going to give the contestants a songwriting clinc?

I think Gilby should be the student. Have you heard Lukas' original material? He should be teaching the class!

Are these guys clueless or what?

I ordered Ryan's CD. Listened to a couple of tracks, compared them to the cheese SN has shown the last three weeks, and now I feel lots better. Ryan has enough talent to do anything he wants to do on his own. I'll sure miss him these next few weeks though.

Dave, I finally listened to some Panic Channel songs, and I loved them! My 12 year old daughter came in when I was listening and said, "I could have told you a long time ago they were great." You're multi-generationally (is that a word?)satisfying!

Danni

Thanks for naming that Jane's Addiction song in that tire commercial. I knew that was Perry's voice, and it's been driving me crazy to know what it was. On that subject, I heard "Dogstar" by Perry's band The Satellite Party. WOW. It's unbelievable. Very electronic, dancey, and progressive.

Back to RS, I still feel some sexist bullshit going on from T-Lee, like when he said last night that he and Toby could take the girls he pulled up on stage back to the dressing room. And then his comment to Storm last week that he wished she was wearing less clothing, and then tonight she was in his lap, and she had to keep pulling up her pants during her performance. Storm should have gone tonight, not Ryan, even though I agree Ryan and Dilana tried too hard during elimination and it didn't work. But it makes me wonder why Storm is still there..... does it have something to do with T-Lee's interest in her? And do these sexist kind of comments shed any light on the possibility of a female actually making it into the band? Comments like that sure make it look like they are not even considering a female to front the band.

Regardless of who they chose, I haven't liked any of the Supernova songs.

Ok, I'm checking out Toby's band Juke Kartel. Yeah, alright, Dave I think you should check it out too.

"Now, what I really don't get is SN songs aren't that good and Gilby is going to give the contestants a songwriting clinc? I think Gilby should be the student."

Amen, brother!

Have you heard Gilby's solo stuff? Go on amazon.com and sample some of his albums. Very painful. Unoriginal, boring... dare I say insipid? Oops, I just did!

And some of the recordings sound like shit too, like they were recorded in a trash compactor.

I've said it before: let's hope that whoever they choose can bring them songwriting skills.

Dave loving the show, grat to hear ya here in Mexico =)

whoooo...people are getting nasty with only 2 weeks left to go! Then maybe we can put down the pepper spray. HA

I thought SN made the right choice tonight...but I would've booted both Ryan and Storm if I was making the call. Neither one of them is right for that band...end of story. I thought they were gonna get really crazy for a second there and eliminate all 3 of them! I should've known though...they love Dilana...she'll be in the finals no doubt. Right along side Lukas and Magni (if they do a triple finale show.)

Love you Dave and 67 Fam! ~Amber

IMO- SN & Lukas sounded great together !

And I really liked the sound of that SN track.

Lukas brought the vocals and performance that really worked in bringing out the vibe/energy of that SN track.
He did it justice. It worked! And sounded great!

(I think that SN track is going to be one of the favourites/first single, when they release the album).

Well, Davey-Boy,

What did I say the other day? Oh yeah, the 'dark horse' (in my opinion) is Stormy! She is pretty good, but no where near Lukas and Magni. Still don't get the Toby thing - it's not that he's bad, he's just not as exciting or interesting to watch/listen to. And Dilana... I think I'm done with her. She was trying way too hard on a very groovy song that really needed less. The original is so cool and laid back that she almost ruined it pour moi.

Glad y'all had a good time in TO. Let us know when you're coming back to Canada- maybe head west to Cowtown!

Cheers
PT3

Grammar tip for the day~~~~~~~~ When do I use whom and when do I use who?
Easy. Just substitute the word him or her in your sentence that you are writing. Example: Who shall I pick? Well, he and she would equal who, thus no M's involved, understand? And him or her would be whom due to the ever present M.
Get it? Basically, whom=him and her
who =he or she.

That's my positive deed for the day.

hey dave:

im sure youve heard this a lot, but you probably dont tire of hearing.

im very impressed how youve patiently interacted with your fans. its weird with fans of RS, TPC, or former bands competing for attention.

im a fan of the show (and you as a host) more than your music (sorry dude, but ill give this new stuff a listen).

overall -- mad props for keeping an uodated blog !

Hell, I can write for SuperNova:

Check this out.

I wanna do go
but sometimes the circumstances just don't let me be nice.
I wanna be nice
But the pressure's too much from trying to do good.
And now I'm unemployed
and now goody-two shoes says:
Stay away from the evils of life.
Alcohol, herion, and cocaine.
He said,
alcohol, herion, and cocaine.
But I've got a quarter in my pocket if you know what I mean.
I looking into the future wondering how I'll ever be a profit, be a prophet.
I guess
Every man is on his own.
Every man is on his own.
Every man is on his own to make a home.
Every man is on his own.
But don't you dare talk to me about intergrity
when you got so much people living in poverty.
Every man is on his own.
Every man is on his own.
Every man is on his own to make a home.
Every man is on his own.
HONESTY!
It's a poor man's plea!

LOL!

Did I forget to mention that I'm a poet? LOL!

I have found that doing a search for the word "Panic" on your page gets me through the comments to the ones that I am actually interested in. I was intrigued by this comment in the EA Sports interview...
"it looks like we’ll be touring with a rock band that we’re fans of"
I won't even begin to imagine the possibilities, but I am hoping that you won't make us wait too long to find out!!

I think I might have liked the Supernova song--I liked the music--but I couldn't really understand half of the lyrics, the way Lukas sings. And I watched the Supernova performance twice. Lukas is definitely compelling (when he doesn't have his back to the audience), but I think the mush mouth thing is a big problem.

Oh, and I thought the right choice was made tonight. As soon as Ryan climbed up on those speakers, I said: "He has to go home." He was starting to depend on stage antics that were fresh the first time, but the got gimmicky real quick. I wanted to see him planted, just delivering the hell out of a song. Which is what we've seen from Dilana several times. She can DELIVER THE HELL OUT OF A SONG.

And Stormy, I really thought tonight would be the night for her to go, but thank goodness she didn't because she rocked Helter Skeltor!

Dilana? jump the shark?

Ryan draged kicking and screaming across the shark

hello dave---

i would like to see if you can get an answer re:

I saw the that the keyboard player from the House band was playing and singing along with SN and Lucas--

if you can review the song again---look over jason's shoulder-----t lee's drums and drumming is awesome----

[ yet his triplet fill--snare to tom tom to floor tom) the sound was not there --the snare was great then ????????????????????--nothing]---?????????????????

it was another great show !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i want you and SN to know that these comments occur after every show----every SN song that is performed ---see the few listed that ----

i found these posted on the msn boards---- tonight !!! (i dont know if you or SN is aware of this)--

these following posts / notes :

"1- at the beginning you hear lucas singing - but lo and behold his mouth wasn't moving yet...

it WAS RECORDED

so t lee is not that powerful a drummer if he has to use backing tracks on drums - its called "faking it"

metallica used to have session playrs under the stage working for minimum wage while the audience thot they were so kick azz too - fakers"

2-"Tommy Lee always has backing vocal tracks, sound efx, extra guitar parts, in Motley Crue they use it, to keep time and to sound good.. but more importantly to fill in the sound. For example watch Dr. Feelgood live .. micks guitar parts and the main chorus vocals.

I heard the back up guitar part on Supernova's song tonight.. unless someone was playing it off stage. Every major performer has backing tracks..it's just the nature of the biz... otherwise it would sound a bit empty.

They are probably doing it until they get another guitar player..or if they don't they will continue using them... Back up vocals will always be there.. for the tour as well."

3--

"Oh honestly, is anyone surprised that it was recorded? Considering the amount of work that goes into making something stage-worthy, I expect that it is done ahead of time and , like sooo much else of this show, edited to reveal only what the producers want to show."

4
" "They were probably playing it live but a recording was dubbed over it.
I think that if F-ed up.
How are we at home supposed to make a real opinion when we don't get to hear the live performance?
Is it because SN or Lukas sucked?"

5


YES that is the word i was looking for - it was DUBBED- that is equivalent to lip synching...

yes is the House band Keyboard player in Supernova?

wow are they hypocrites"

end of the msn notes

that is what is written by certain viewers

since you are all the "power" on the show

Oh, and I thought the right choice was made tonight. As soon as Ryan climbed up on those speakers, I said: "He has to go home." He was starting to depend on stage antics that were fresh the first time, but the got gimmicky real quick. I wanted to see him planted, just delivering the hell out of a song. Which is what we've seen from Dilana several times. She can DELIVER THE HELL OUT OF A SONG.

And Stormy, I really thought tonight would be the night for her to go, but thank goodness she didn't because she rocked Helter Skeltor!

Hey Mr. Navarro! I enjoyed listening to your show tonight, you are a very amusing fellow. Too bad you decided to go have dinner just before we got your views of Dilana's bottom three performance. Oh well, I a cranky person by nature and therefore not inclined to like anything Dilana does anyway. (her version of "Psycho Killer" was just brutal)

I've got to say that you get an interesting mix of listeners and tonight was no exception. I don't know which was more disturbing though, the listener who wondered if you would do Dilana or the thought of you actually watching the Titanic. You know, that is the first movie I've seen where I wanted everyone to die and the boat to make it.

Keep up the good work. Two more weeks and no more Davey on my TV twice weekly. C'est domage.

I do have a quick question. Brookie said at the end of the show that we could vote one rocker back on the show for the finale. Does that mean there will be 5 in the elimination or is the one voted back on just a special guest star? And I'm hoping before the end of the show that we get to hear you adding some guitar muscle to a Supernova song or two.

PS: I really did like the song tonight. It was so much better than the previous two. And I'm looking forward to the songwriting clinic. Are we to assume there will be no Stop/Go Part II?

Hey Dave - listening to SRL rebroadcast from sunny Melbourne....loved what you said about reclaiming the NET...You might have already seen this, but thought you might want to take a look just in case - interesting....

Hi from New Zealand, We are first time voters on the Rockstar show, and part of me does wonder if our votes count or not, we view the first show on a Wednesday night and the results show is on a Thursday, we have until 12.30am to register our votes via text message or online. The feeling over here about who should go was that it was the end for Storm...can't believe that it was Ryan. I wonder if Dilana was in the bottom 3 because of the set up that happened, and that's what's being said here too on the local radio stations.

My final 3 pick is Lukas, Magni, Dilana

Just a couple of comments here. Was it just the TV feed or does Lukas always sound like he's singing "Marlon Brando does Don Corleone?" He may be somewhat charismatic on-stage (except when he continually turns his back to the viewers), but for heaven's sake, please ask him to remove the cotton from his mouth before he sings! I've *yet* to hear him sing anything in this competition that I've been able to understand all the words--something I personally find particularly annoying. Kinda like CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" or whatever it's called. I used to think it was me, until I heard a big-city DJ say that for years he thought John Fogerty was saying "There's a bathroom on the right"!!! LOL (Come to think of it, Lukas *does* look a bit like a very young Brando.)

One other personal opinion--(Hell yeah, I know, they're just like a**holes; everybody's got one): whoever SN ends up choosing had best be good on the guitar; one lead and a bass just doesn't seem to cut it--they sound a sorta thin. I'm not saying Gilby's terrible, but Dave, admit it, they need more OOMPH or something, not just a front vocal person. You could definitely show them a thing or six! I'm not totally sold on SN yet, guess I'll have to wait til the cd is out and listen to a couple of cuts. Do love the show, though--you make it all worthwhile.

Keep on rockin, Dave. I may be over the hill, but I still think you are HAWWWWT!!

I'm kind of disappointed with the outcome of the elimination. But all i can say is, i loved the look jason newsted gave those people who booed what he said about storm in the performance show. Whether it was edited like that or whatever... fucking hilarious!!

Bummed that Ryan hit the road. I don't think Storm OR Ryan would have been picked to front SN. However..................I feel bad for him because he's really given us his heart and soul trying to grow and prove that he could do the job.

I would have liked to have seen more of him. Seeing Storm again well....is like seeing Storm again. I'm indifferent to it. At least ya weren't sure what you'd get with Ryan.

And from my point of perception, it didn't really seem like Tommy wanted him gone quite yet. I really liked Ryan's comments to SN. Good for him making his point in a very diplomatic way.
Totally bummed I missed the SRL show. I'll be looking for ya!

I don't really agree with the person who said ryan won't be followed by the reality tv curse. Sure, those who left in the first 5 weeks may now suffer that curse, but ryan was in the last few weeks. AND he was fucking GOOD. I don't know why they axed him, but in regards to what you said about the being a winner of a reality show, I agree. I mean, no matter ho hard Kelly Clarkson tries to get away from the American Shithole title, she can't. The reason why she is there is because of that show.

Tonight's show really sucked. The desperation is showing. Everyone tried too hard and the performances ended up being uncomfortable. Definitely agreed with the comments re Ryan and The Speakers. Found myself wondering if he'd get up there in time to hit his next mark. What on earth made him decide to start climbing on things? Once, okay. But enough is enough.

Dave,
Always enjoying the show. I have been on Jury duty the entire week. I always think to do the right thing and use common sense. Life goes on.

Carly, sorry about the job. Better things are ahead for you. If the bf was flirting with you-it doesn't sound like a good situation. She probably was jealous. Maybe, threatened that you had the abilities to eventually take her job.
Best of luck.

I am so happy Dilana didn't go home... I was a little worried there for a minute... because her performance wasn't that great..
and I agree with what some person said on here... Ryan on top of the speakers... just a tad too much... if it takes you that long to climb something during a song... then you probably shouldn't climb it..

By the way.. thought Ryan's good bye speech was a little rude... why would he not thank SUPERNOVA for all the awesome opportunities to grow as a musician they have gave him? but no, instead he decided to use his time to say something like.. I think I could have been a great singer of your band for 20 years.. but ahwell.. you'll see me in the record charts or some shista like that.. give me a break.. but maybe they edited some part out of it? maybe.. maybe not.. but he came off as a bit of an arse to be quite honest.

but I still liked a lot of Ryan's later performances... I just wish he would have left on a better note...

I need to complete my thoughts in one comment..
sorry..

oh one more thing.. heh.. sorry..
I think everyone's getting to see Magni's great personality a bit more now, outside of his performances.. his funny comments... and just an overall great vibe from him have made me start liking him more.. Could it be the reason why he's getting more votes now... and suddenly went from bottom 3 for 2 weeks to number 1? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
I might just believe so.

DAVE - Thanks for having a separate site outside of corporate.
...............

LUKAS would do well in a Smashing Pumpkins style band. Not sure he's the right fit for SN................

STORM has a beautiful soul. She is confident, funny, musical, and I am proud of her. I have to agree with another comment here about how can Storm have grown if no criticism/suggestions/advice have been given to her? Others have received such ideas to work on but perhaps Storm hasn't been given any advice yet to grow upon. She will do well wherever she lands in the industry. I wish her well.
..........................

RYAN - I was really starting to get into him. A little cocky perhaps but he'll do well.
.........................

TOBY - He sounds amazing with SN. He appears to be too much of a party boy/frat boy for SN but he sounds great with them. It just sounds right and not out of place when he played with SN.
.....................

DALANA (sp?) - Tough girl with some troubles inside - issues with her own mother apparantely. She's working on it. She sounded great with SN! Possibly too much drama for them at this point.
...............

MAGNI - He wants this but he also has a new family from out of the country. I personally could not choose him for my own band (if I were of SN caliber) knowing I would be pulling him away from his growing young family. Although, the money he would earn through SN would help with a growing young family. I know it's lame but he looks good with the band because he's tall. He looks and sings like a man and SN is a man's band....maybe.
..........................
JASON N. is taking this very seriously. He appears to be a quiet and introspective fellow. He watches and listens and thinks about what he's seen and heard before jumping to conclusions. I bet he was shy when he was a little toddler. I think it's awesome the amount of energy he appears to put into the workshops he has with the ROCKERS.
...............................
My husband got me addicted to this show and now I am obsessed with following all the details while trolling the internet late at night.
................................

ROCK ON!

DUDE, WTF??? The new supernova track sounds nice, but if they want to do a song in Icelandic, they should have chosen Magni to sing. Lukas should stick to doing english songs...

tonights show was a statement, I hate to inform you all but each one of the performances told you something and that is the competion is over and all the contestants know it, pretty obvious that lukas already won! let me point out a few things, ryan's performance was a direct slap in the face, drinking on network tv is a fine, why did he do it? because the producers started a smear campain to anyony that was a treat to lukas winning! Dilana's performance was a dead give away did you notice the lukas move she kept on doing ....putting her back to the crowd...too funny! all i want to say is that these guy's and gals are too talented to get fucked over like that on national tv......you guys lost all your credibility......dave i hope you had nothing to do with this

Good luck sorting through this many comments. I told my boss today (I always talk to her about pop culture shit) that you were the hardest working man in show business today. She thought you had to farm out the web site to others, but I told her I didn't know about that. You seemed pretty adamant about all your fan work. Whatever, kudos. As for the show tonight, the band did what they had to with the choices they had in the bottom 3. If it had been ryan, toby and magni, the vote might have went another way, but storm and dilana have good support. They picked the lesser of 3 evils. Plus, ryan would have been a bit too much of a control freak from what I've seen on the reality eps. Peace, and keep up the good work.
