My wife and I are hooked on this show too. We were Dilana fans from the start (her version of Ring of Fire was incredbile!) until this week's episode where she came off a little arrogant. You have to take it with a grain of salt like any reality TV as we're at the mercy of the producers / editors, but still...

I'm having a tough time predicting who will win this one. I called JD Fortune on RS:INXS about 6 weeks out. If I had to make a guess though, I'd go with Toby. We'll see I guess...

BTW: Jason: I do hope you're planning to change your avatar for this site!

Could be worse, could be Skating with Rock Star: Supernova

I'm still not completely addicted to Supernova but there have been some pretty amazing performances (including Ryan's original song).

It also probably helps that I like the type of music...

I watch it sometimes, but my favorite reality contest type show, by far, is Project Runway. Second would be So You Think You Can Dance.

[shindullin]

I vote for So you think you can dance as well. It's cooolio. I even thought about getting tickets for the ilve show and then balked when I saw that prices ranged from about 130 to 480 or so. Wow, some people are laying down some serious money to watch live.

Yeah, she's been a putz the past few weeks. There's a certain amount of humility needed for reality TV shows, and she totally lacks it. I guess on one hand that means she really wants the job, but it sure comes across in a negative way. She's a great performer, but I find her voice quite one-dimensional. Everything she does is scratchy and growly. I dislike Lucas' voice for the same reason, though he has more range/sounds. Ryan and Toby can definitely sing and have a great sound.

Myself, I think Ryan would be the best fit, but I wonder if he's too much of a "real artist" for the band. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I thought his song was excellent, while the first (and second for that matter) Supernova songs were kind of ho-hum. I predict Supernova will ditch Ryan for creative reasons, namely they want a lead singer that will do what they want, not try to write songs for them. Dilana showed that her lyric-writing abilities were just plain sad..but that is probably just fine for Supernova.

Still thinking about it.

I enjoy this show, as I do many reality shows....but I do think Rock Star:INXS was better than Rock Star:Supernova. The last few shows were really good, and the house band...man, give it up for them, they were outstanding!

Really? One of the things I prefer about Supernova over INXS is that they're more honest with their criticism of the performers. I always felt like INXS were just too polite when it came to critiques of the vocals and performances.

The house band is AWESOME though, no doubt about that. And they seem to be getting more TV time on this new series as well, which is cool.

So it's looking like Dilana is self-destructing. My hunch is that Supernova, made up of mature rockers in their 40s, want no part of someone that unstable and moody. She can't handle the pressure.
