Rockstar Recap: Week 9

This week the contestants performed songs that the fans chose. The performances were overwhelmingly good tonight. Before the performances kicked off we saw Dilana behaving like a typical rockstar, what with the throwing of a glass bottle and everything. A piece nicked Magni in the head and drama ensued. Magni was fine, but Dilana bawled her eyes out and went to a deep dark place. Her crying sounded a lot like her singing if I’m being honest. It was pretty disturbing.

Onto the performances:

Lukas started off the night with "Lithium". I just can’t stand him. Dilana’s performance of "Lithium" weeks ago far surpassed this performance. He also altered the song’s lyrics and added a few too many "yeah’s" for my taste. I’m convinced that if you take off all that make-up and cut his hair and remove the goop. . . you’d have a 12-year old wanna-be. I’m not impressed and am HOPING Lukas will be in the bottom three and go home already.

Magni performed "I Alone" and it was awesome. Even without the performance, I hope that people go and vote for him. His sense of humor alone deserves it. He stated that he’s "better looking than Toby," "Lukas, COME ON!" and that "just because Ryan is American doesn’t mean he has to get all the US votes". He did after all, "learn to speak English" and quite well. He left the hat and the nose-butting at home and I was impressed. I fear that if he’s in the bottom three, he’ll go home due to the sheer number of times he’s been there. I’m hoping I’m wrong.

Ryan entertained with "Clocks". He started by playing the piano, then jumped on top of the piano, then jumped off the piano with a wired microphone that had me a little worried, and finally slid back across the piano to finish playing the song. He was exciting to watch and took the whole singing on a piano thing to a completely new level. I think his performance was the best.

Storm reluctantly sang "Bring me to Life" by Evanescence and she did a nice job with it. Her mistake was asking Toby to back her up. He stole some of her fire. That could be because I for one, much prefer watching him perform over her. Sometimes her facial expressions give you the impression that she just smelled something really off. After her performance, Gilby made some comment about how Jill’s performance of that song was memorable and I was like, "Huh, who’s Jill? Oh YEAH, the be-bopping blonde girl. . ." Yeah, I don’t agree with Gilby at all, and I’m back to the whole "Storm’s party style doesn’t mesh with Supernova’s" and because of that she will not win.

Toby channels Billy Idol really well. He sang "Rebel Yell" and made me a believer once again. He faded a bit in weeks past, but he’s coming back. I am really thinking it’s going to be down to Ryan and Toby. The most disturbing part of his performance was Lukas’s tongue. They showed the other contestants during Toby’s performance, and Lukas was apparently having a tongue seizure or something. It wasn’t pretty. Towards the end of the performance, Toby pulled a bunch of girls up on stage with him which had to give the aging Supernova guys some ideas. Toby may be their only hope for getting girls to their shows who are under the age of 50. He’s a front runner for sure.

Dilana got out her frustrations with "Mother, Mother". I really hope she got it out of her system. She’s not pleasant to watch when she’s "troubled." Her hair made me think that she probably hasn’t bathed in a while; and I was half expecting a bird to fly out with all that hair whipping she was doing. I think she lost a lot of credibility with all the drama from the past week or two and I think her star is starting to fade.

Bottom three: Lukas, Storm, and Dilana

Encore (if they have one): Ryan, yet again.

Until tomorrow. . .
