• Scary Thoughts about Rock Star: Supernova and a Quick Analysis

    15. Sep. 2006, 23:36 von Peachish

    As much performing was done by the house band on Rock Star: Supernova, I was almost frightened for whenever Supernova was supposed to play at the very end. The house band was excellent in their playing and then I thought to myself, "Supernova's going to come out here and sound like shit."

    The final three were Toby Rand, Dilana Smith, and Lukas Rossi. Out of those three, somehow Lukas got the most votes. Perhaps it was the fact the he had more makeup than most women, perhaps it actually was his voice, all ways, I don't think he should have won.

    A quick analysis of the people:

    -Dilana: She has a very rock inclined voice and we all know that America really liked her for a long time before all of that other shit came up. She originally had an album that was very Pop-like entitled Wonderfool (2000) which means that she has seemingly more recording experience than the other two.

    -Toby: Even though it took him some time in the competition to get great, he still succeeded in the singing aspect of the competition. …

  • Bittersweet Symphony

    15. Sep. 2006, 9:51 von Minimalistix

    I just came across Bittersweet Symphony today and have really fallen in love with it. Made me realise how much I'm really into Blues.

    http://www.theverve.co.uk/images/front1.gif

    Lukas Rossi sang it today on Rock Star: Supernova and that's how I came to hear it. (By the way, Lukas has been named the lead singer for Supernova after winning the 11-week competition beating out 14 other contestants.)

    The song starts with just a violin fading in. Sounds very lovely!

    Here are the opening lines...

    Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, this life
    Try to make ends meet
    You're a slave to the money
    Then you die

    They have really touched me. They are so very true!
    Richard Ashcroft has summed up most people's lives in just a single line.

    No change
    I can change - 3
    But I'm here in my mold - 2
    But I'm a million different people
    From one day to the next
    I can't change my mold
    No, no, no, no, no

    Very symbolic. Very deep.

    Well I never pray
  • Music for a broken heart

    15. Sep. 2006, 6:16 von purploony

    Rockstar Supernova is over, Lukas Rossi was the best (though not my favorite) choice, Supernova lost a case and will need to change its name, and my boyfriend dumped me.

    With no more weekly rock fix to look forward to, I figured I'd go buy an album to treat my broken heart.

    However, it has to be a really good one. Not something suicidal (Cat Power) or depressing (Death Cab for Cutie) or angry (Interpol) or non sequitur positive (of Montreal) or brainless (Paris Hilton). Something that won't emphasize the pain, nor numb it. Something self-affirming but also very real. Something just right.

    Any suggestions?

    First of all, I have to say that I haven't seen the Last Episode yet, unfortunatelly in Brazil It will only take place on Sunday and As I will be getting myself prepared for my surgery I would not be able to watch it!

    But I just get some informations about the Night Finale at my Friend Jason's page....Before knowing the results I was a little bit sad, because , as I live in Brazil, and not in SP or RJ, It would be a little bit impossivel to see Supernova alive...

    Now, after finding out the results, I'm no longer sad or even planning to see the guys alive, the canadian Lukas Rossi always were my last choice for the band, and why? Not all because he always sing with a sad face, but most of all because besides that he makes my stomach spins (in agony) when he comes to the stage, he seems to be always in pain, and I just hate that, Rock must be fresh and funny (of course, with a touch of sadness and anger), and Lukas is exactly the oposite of that!!!

    I know, I know, probably you all are asking about what all this things has to do?
    And my answer to that question is very simple, they have, at least for me, everything to do!

    Yesterday after a whole week waiting for the brand new Supernova Episode, I could not watch it,or better, I tried, but my mind was somewhere else, thinking about the true meaning of frienship...

    I am a quite bit sad about that, cause before everything happen I had many things to say about the two last ones episodes, the "All Apologies" one and, of course and especially, the other about " the dark horse elimination".

    But after all,I just cant remain here sat in mute mode...Without telling you guys about what's happening to me...about my fellings....

    Well, as I am a little bit perfeccionist and as some of you know my 30th birthday will be on september 15th, I spent the last week organizing the party, Yeah, I had several problems with the place which I chose to make my party…

    Hi there,

    If you are a music lover and even if just a little bit into "Rock", you'll love Rock Star: Supernova. It's currently running it's 2nd season with the Rock Band Supernova looking for a young talented Rocker to front their band.

    http://static.flickr.com/53/117091970_e11cceaae6_m.jpg

    Last season it was Rock Star: INXS with the Rock Band INXS being on the hunt. INXS picked J.D. Fortune as their lead singer and recorded their latest album called Switch. The second single released from Switch is Afterglow. A very lovely song with synth, strings and airy guitar which incidentally I'm listening to right now! Caught it's video on VH1. Really liked the way lighting was done and that it featured the actress Estella Warren too.

    Okay! Back to Rock Star: Supernova. The competition has really heated up! Only the top 6 Rockers remain: Ryan Star, Toby Rand, Magni, Storm Large, Dilana and Lukas Rossi.

    Last night two Rebel Angels came rocking to Supernova stage.Yeah Baby, I'm talking about Toby and Dilana, They simply rocked yesterday night!!!

    The show began with an amazing [track]lithium[/track]
    performance by Lukas, "The Cure" next generation guy, well he did his best and so Magni did his best too performing "I alone" (Live), proving one more time, that he would be a wonderful choice for bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam and why not for Soundgarden.But for Supernova, both of them, simply don't fit!

    And, right after the breaktime, for the first time I had the chance to watch Storm performing "Bring me to life" (Evanescence). Sorry baby, I know that you put all your energy and efforts on that presentation, but even Zayra performed better than you.

    But, Storm was not the only unlucky person last night, Ryan, "The dark horse", in spite of having a great initial piano performance on "Clocks" (Coldplay)…

    Yesterday, after 2 Non TV months, I finally had some time to do it and while my zapping moments infront of TV I just found this amazzing TV Show called "Rockstar: Supernova"!
    A TV Show which is produced by Dave Navarro (Ex Red Hot Chilli Peppers/Jane's Addiction and actual Panic Channel Guitar man), supervised by Slash (Ex GNR Guitar man), Moby, Macy Gray and Rob Zombie (White Zombie Lead Singer)and hosted by the dazzling model and actress Brooke Burke.
    And,What is it about? Well, it's about 15 all over the world rockers who had joined to this crazy competition to become the lead singer of brand new band called "Supernova" formed by Tommy Lee (Ex Mötley Crüe Drummer), Jason Newsted (Ex Metallica Bass man)and Gilby Clark (Ex GNR Guitar man), who, by tha way,judge the competitors.
    Well, on the yesterday's episode, unfortunatelly the first I had watched, Dilana, a South African girl, was chosen to perform with Supernova guys and I have to say…
