Rockstar Elimination: Week 8

I don’t know if Dilana has bird flu from those feathers being fused to her lashes or what, but she was pretty rude to Ryan. She basically told him that his performance would have been nothing without the house band. The house band is great, no argument there. But without Ryan’s song, they wouldn’t have had anything to play now would they? I thought Dilana was a bit out of line.

She was also out of line during the interviews. Dilana trash talked EVERYONE and it made her look scared and unsure of herself. Someone give her a vaccine or something. That bird flu is nasty.

Forget seeing Storm fight Ryan for music. I have a feeling Dilana and Ryan are going to be going to (at least) verbal blows again very soon.

And onto the performances. . .

Supernova performed a really good song tonight. With Toby fronting the band, it was nothing short of incredible. The best part of the entire performance though, is something that wasn’t even there. . . no Big Daddy Kane dancers. Supernova, you got the message, LOUD AND CLEAR. I thank you, we all thank you.

I got it all wrong when it came to the bottom three, and there wasn’t even an encore tonight. What was up with that? Magni performed "Fire" and showed up without the mushroom hat. He is totally reading my blog right? Let’s test the theory. Magni, you would love totally awesome wearing a loud Hawaiian shirt next week. Think it will happen? He did a great job with the song and jammed on his guitar throughout the performance. There was no way he was going home, at least not tonight. The only thing I’m not liking about him is how he sort of nose-butts the microphone. He really needs to work on distancing I think.

Patrice sang "Middle of the Road", but her fate was sealed before she even started singing. Four times in the bottom three is the equivalent of an instant plane ticket home. Patrice was the only one I got right for the bottom three; and she was sent packing. She seems like a really nice person and all, but she just wasn’t right for this band and there was no point keeping her around any longer. She sang "Middle of the Road", but she’s only ever been as good as the middle of the pack for this group.

Toby being in the bottom three completely surprised me. He’s back people. The real Toby, the good one, the one who knows how to perform so start voting for him. He sang "Plush" by Stone Temple Pilots and easily kept himself in the running. I have a feeling Toby’s back to stay, and as Outkast says, "I like the way you move." Keep it up Toby.

I have a feeling that at least one contestant will have a shiner next week. To be a fly on the wall in that house this week. . .

Dilana better lock her bedroom door. Get some rest girl and stay away from the birds.
