Rock Star Performance Show - Week Four
Original Airdate: July 25, 2006
I'm running behind this week, so I'm just going to hurry up and get down to it. Here's my take on this week's rocker performances:
Lukas - Bittersweet Symphony
I really liked the staging of this performance - the single spotlight really worked. It felt like a rock show, albeit a rock show with a really crappy lead singer. Sorry, there are a lot of Lukas fans out there but I'm still not one of them. I also didn't care for the guitar, it just hung there for most of the performance and looked more like a prop than a working instrument.
Zayra - Call Me
What planet is this chick from? Seriously - a blue spandex space suit with torso cut-outs and white go-go boots?? Wow. I definitely give her major props for a smokin' bod and the guts to wear something like that in public. That said, this performance was awful. She needs to be beamed back to her home planet ASAP Scotty!
Dana - About a Girl
Color me shocked - Dana got gritty and "rock" this week. Her hair was dirty, her eyeliner was dark and smudged, and she didn't look like Rock Star Barbie. Her voice was amazing as always, and really delivered on this song. It still seems too forced, and that this isn't who Dana really is, but I gotta give her credit for a huge improvement.
Patrice - Remedy
Blah. Another week, another Patrice performance that reminds me of "sweet" Suzie McNeil. At least Patrice remembered all the words (*snicker*). But that's about all that was good about her performance - it was really boring. Oh, and Jim of OB:House was exceptionally hot (see pic above for evidence). Also, Patrice is by far the worst dresser out of the remaining women. A fur vest with a black sports bra underneath? Really? I actually prefer Dilana's demented goth-meets-fairy tale look.
Toby - White Wedding
Slurp! Toby definitely moved back to the front of the competition this week. And looked darn good doing it. More short belly-revealing tops on Toby please! I am so shallow, but his blue blue blue eyes get me every time. I don't really care for "White Wedding" but I thought Toby brought a lot of energy and decent vocals to the song. He really knows how to play to the girls in the audience, doesn't he? *is mad jellus*
Magni - Heroes
I really liked Magni's performance this week. I thought Supernova was unnecessarily harsh on the Iceman. He has a fantastic voice, one of the tops among the guys, and can actually deliver a song just standing there with his guitar. My take on this is that he was giving "Heroes" a wistful tone by staying away from the crowd, and that he was singing it to someone far away (like oh, say Iceland). He's still my dark horse pick to win. He's an amazing vocalist, has good stage presence, but still will be able to let the other SN guys shine.
Ryan - I Alone
Finally! Ryan brought what I knew he had in him all along. I still think there are better things to come from Ryan, he has so much potential. And is so smokin' hot. I was dyin' he looked so good last night, he really looks like a movie star. I can't wait to see what he brings to the table next week.
Jill - Brown Sugar
Jill seemed really trampy last night. Between the Hooters girl outfit and the humping of poor Gilby Clarke, it was actually embarrassing. Her vocals were pretty good, but everything else about the performance distracted from her singing. The guys (Gilby especially) really hated it. As did I - yuck! I can appreciate a sexy woman, but not a desperate one.
Phil - One Headlight
I have no idea how this song made it onto the list, but it sure seemed like poor Phil got the short end of the stick with this choice. The Wallflowers are WAY more pop than rock, and even though Phil tried to dirty it up, it didn't work for anyone. His stage movements (wobbly neck, bugged-out eyes, and wiggly arms) were out in full force and I hated them. This guy's just not that great to me, he needs to go home and play with his chemistry set.
Dilana - Time After Time
Right about the time Dilana kicked into the chorus of "Time After Time" a lightbulb went off over my head. A-ha! I finally get this chick, and loved the rest of this performance. She really is fantastic, and I would like to see her front Supernova. I'm not so crazy about her costumes, this week she looked like Heidi from Hell, but it's certainly her signature and makes her stand out.
Josh - No Rain
Another crappy song choice. I think Josh did the best he could with this song. I really enjoyed it actually, it was his best for me since his first week. I want to give a shout out to the hottie guitarist Raphael. That man is amazing! I still don't think Josh is right for SN, but his voice is so strong and unique that he deserves to stick around for a few more weeks at least.
Storm - Anything Anything
Homechick finally rocked it!! I loved it all!! She is just what Supernova needs I think. Whether they have the guts to take her I'm not sure. I loved the stage dive, it was so cool and perfect. She also looked amazing as usual. I love her style the best out of the remaining women, it's so sexy and rock without being slutty or cheap. Love her!!
The results show is on now so I won't bother with predictions. My top three were:
1) Ryan
2) Storm
3) Dilana

I'm addicted to your recaps. I waited all day for you to post. *g*
I think it's because we are pretty much sharing a brain on RockStar. I always like it when people agree with me.
I'll take Zayra's bod, but the rest of her has to go. Well, since I'm responding after the eliminations show is already over, I will say she did an awesome job on her bottom 3 song.
Dilana--At first, it was a bit hard for me to look at her with all those piercings, but I'm used to them now. I think she is the best all over performer because she brings something unique and different to every performance.
Storm--Just wow.
Magni--I liked the more introspective performance. Not everything has to be in your face.
Ryan rocked--plus he's cute as all get out.
Toby--I get a bit of a pop-rocker vibe from him.
Dana--I was surprised that I really liked her performance.
Lukas--Get him off my TV. I'm hoping he'll wear out what's left of his voice.
The three to the top--
1. Dilana
2. Storm
3. Guy spot--Ryan/Toby/Magni (praying Lukas crashes and burns. The guys all have strengths and weaknesses. Depends on who is the most consistent from here on out)
