Rock Star: Supernova
by David Steed
July 5, 2006: Rock On!
The worst of week 1:
Magni is a pop star in Iceland. Looking like a grown-up Moby, this guy walked around stage like he was singing a Ashlee Simpson song. This is a rock group dude.
Zayra Alvarez's voice is either unique or terrible. I lean towards terrible but others will inevitably disagree. Her Puerto Rican accent might work for some bands but has no place in Supernova.
Phil Ritchie not only doesn't look the part but took one of my all-time favorites "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour and over sung most of it. Phil just had no energy up there.
Then we come to Chris Pierson. If you watched the webisode on Monday you would have seen Chris complain about how hard the classic "Roxanne" was to sing. So instead of challenging himself he reworks the song because it didn't sound modern enough. What? Dude, it's one of the best songs ever written. Not a dang thing needed to be changed. He butchered it so bad it was unrecognizable. Gilby Clarke summed it up best when he stated to Chris, "unfortunately, that one sucked."
Rock on Gilby. That was easily the most honest moment of any in the short history of this fine television show.
1. Chris goes home tomorrow. He has to as there was no excuse for him tonight.
2. My very early prediction for the overall winner is — Toby. I think Lukas will be on his tail and the smokin' hot Storm will finish in the top 3. Of course this could change immediately should I go back and watch Dilana again.
3. One of those bigwigs at CBS is sure to tell Tommy Lee to not give the middle finger to a contestant on live TV — even if it was a sign of love. I saw it Tommy. Bad, bad calculated move.
