Sorry arrived home late and missed the first 40 minutes. What did Dilano do? Please a summary if possible. Thanks.

LAST EDITED ON 08-24-06 AT 00:26 AM (EST)

At the house, Dilana said that Ryan's performance was made by the house band. She went on to gloat about the fact that she had more votes than he. Dave hammered her on it. Dilana replied that she was "the b1tch of the week. "

Dilana criticized Lukas (and Magni) during the media interviews (see the webisode) and Dave hammered her on that too. Finally, after much booing by the crowd, Dilana aplogized by admitting that she was human and made a mistake. When pressed, she said she was too honest (which kind of negates her half hearted apology).

Hope this helps a little. If you missed the first 40 minutes, you missed a great performance by Toby with SN.

Thank you! Unfortunately I missed that performance of Toby but saw his bottom 3 performance - was well done.

I was wondering, because I didn't see it again later. I posted right at the end of her song and there was something big and red there for about the last half of the song... when I saw her at the end, it looked like there was a little bump, so maybe makeup took care of it during the commercial break?

See Dave write. See Dave edit. See Dave blog. See Dave space.

DW is positive that she had a bloody nose, and that seems to fit what you guys mentioned seeing. I was oblivious to the whole thing.

But, the four of us had a great time.

I think she busted her lip with the microphone. I thought I saw it halfway through her performance, and when I went back and watched the DVR, that was the case. It was not there at the beginning of her song.

That's what I thought happened. I told DW "she just busted her lip, and it's bleeding." she didn't seem to notice it, though, until Magni pointed it out after she finished singing. And very cool of him to let her use his sleeve, since she didn't have any (and his were already red ).

That song was freakin' awesome! Toby delivered an exceptionally entertaining performance.

Toby just put himself in the running and SN just made themselves credible.

PS: Dilana is sooooo last week.

LAST EDITED ON 08-24-06 AT 07:18 AM (EST)

I was waiting to see if people were going to rip into the SN song like they did last week. I, for one, thought that the song was really good. And I, as with others, thought Toby seemed very natural and fit in well on stage with the boys.

Sadly, I think this week confirms that Storm is the Mig of this season. Although, I did not like Mig last year, he had a strong following which kept him from the bottom 3 almost the whole season. I love Storm but she hasn't had a killer performance since "Anything, Anything" and "Changes". Hopefully she will turn it around, but we know she will get her chance because she has many people (like me) who vote for her everyweek.

My thoughts on Dilana:
She is so far out in left field, mentally, right now, it will be impressive if she can come back in the next few weeks. Her apology was half hearted and week and the booing really surprised her. I found her constant turning around and disgusted face at Ryan, totally juvenille. Don't dish it out honey, if you can't take it.

I am still shocked, shocked, that no one from Supernova said a thing. It was all Dave. Could it be that they didn't care? Or did they just think that Dave covered it? Hmmmm.....

Have to wonder if TLee was thinking re dilana, so what if she decides to get "honest" with the press about our private lives. That man has not lived the life of a saint and I'm sure has done far more than the press knows and "honesty" could be very bad for Supernova.

Shes not 21, she has been around. She wasnt being too "honest" she was being too cut throat. As one of the prev posters stated there is a way to say what she did on the press part of it that is okay and a way that is cruel and bad press. She chose the later.

As to the comments that Ryan's song would have been nothing without the house band. Well same could be said of her and her limited range. That was just cruel to be cruel. No wonder her and her mom dont talk. She hasnt pregressed beyond a 16 yrold school girl mentality when dealing with peers.

I didnt like her in week one but I grew to respect her performance abilities but she has lost that respect. I wouldnt pay to hear her in concert anytime. She ranks right up there with Tom Cruise.... maybe she needs some vitamins.

LAST EDITED ON 08-24-06 AT 09:52 AM (EST)

I think that is just it - making a SN song sound credible - bottom line is their music is so undefined (Zayra at least had that correct).

I don't see much longevity for the band. Tommy always has other projects on the side and this is probably more for seeing his own mug shot on camera than for some devotion to this band. I would imagine he would want Storm to stick around as he would want to play around with her (was going to say barbies but you know what I mean).

Dilana, while kissing Tommy at the Vegas party - is sort of a one persona singer. That marching up the stage in boots and some militant outfit with those chin piercings (egads last performance's pink 6 inch eyelashes) is cheesy.

Magni can write - I think he performed a song he wrote? He played guitar last night as suggested - it would have been cliche to bust it after singing - since Ryan did already.

Lukas was fun - but his disadvantage may just be he is too similar to JD that won last time.

Patrice may be happy she hasn't worked a day job since committing to her music but she seemed to perform the same way week after week - sleeveless vest and standing at the mic. Her version of the Pretenders was questionable. I did like her original song.

Toby is just cute but he is maybe too pretty for Tommy's ego!

(forgot to add this: Do you think Storm would have run around the pool naked for a song? I don't....)

Dilana running around pool naked = meh, despite her talk about how good her butt is.

Storm running around pool naked = rewind the DVR 50 times to rewatch and then go looking for DW.

A birthday present from Tribe

Well, the biggest news for me last night is that I'm back on the Toby train. He was on fire! His performance with SN seemed so natural and so right that I was completely blown away. I don't know if it's just that this song is so much better than the first one or if it's that Toby just let out everything he's been holding back. That was just fantastic!

I no longer feel any need to justify how much I dislike Dilana. That was the most classless act I think I've ever seen. I have met quite a few national and regional rock musicians and, regardless of those who think otherwise, I have never seen anyone talk like that about their peers to the press. And how jealous and childish she was to Ryan! She showed him total disrespect, not only in the "privacy" of the house but also during the show. Ryan, Lukas, and Magni all showed they are the better people. Good for them! Screw that beyotch!

WTF? Why was Storm not in the bottom 3? It should never, ever have included Toby, IMHO. And with his SN performance and then his bottom 3 performance, he showed exactly why he didn't belong there. And Magni! Dood! You had me applauding in my living room like some sort of nut. Hendrix, and you kicked it!

And can I just, once again, say how amazing the house band is? We say it here over and over, but they just blow me away every.single.week. Can we get MB to make season 3 the search for a lead singer for the house band?

Sure, Toby was in the Top 3 last night, but I think he turned that negative into a positive really quickly. He had two chances to perform last night and nailed both of them. I'm sure I'm not the only person who is now more inclined to fight to keep him in the competition.

Another thought that stuck out to me last night - I do not think that Lukas is right for these guys. He's been performing well, but when they showed him doing his part of the Supernova song, I didn't feel like he fit with them at all. Toby, on the other hand, looked and sounded like he belonged.

My theory on why there was no anchor? Call it theory 3 - that Ryan was the only one considered deserving, but they didn't want to give it to the same guy 3 out of 4 weeks at this stage of the competition.

I nominate Magni. They can play any style song, and he can sing any style song.

Are we looking for a rock singer or a choirboy? I prefer rockers that aren’t politically correct. Last time I checked it was a competition not a summer camp fireside sing-a-long! I’m sure you’ve seen some “making of a rock album DVD”. Metallica’s “Monster…” DVD as an example should prove that an attitude isn’t a deterrent to making it!

->“I will lose so much respect for TLee and Jason if they chose this back-stabbing heartless bitter hateful woman to front them.”

I wish she could use that bitterness in her song-writing abilities which seems to be her main problem. This is a Burnett production and he likes his villains. Her attitude towards the other singers should count for less than 5% of the evaluation THE BAND makes. Much more important is the relationship the singers display towards the house band and here we don’t see much except that Ryan got bad comments last week with his micro-management. From what I’ve seen the house band also gets along with her well.

Another major concern his her voice and it’s range. All I have to say is: Stevie Nicks. She also had a very limited, raucous voice and it didn’t prevent her from having a nice career now did it? Stevie had more elegance but SN is a dirtier rock band than F-Mac.

Before you say I’m a Dilana-fan, I’d point out that I haven’t decided between her, Lukas (who is slipping), Ryan (who has gotten back up) and Magni. The latter proved again that he is not only a true professional but also the best musician amongst the contestants. That could be needed because I haven’t been impressed with Gilby’s guitar play. The house band lead guitarist has impressed me more! Jason is the only above average musician in SN. TLee is more a People’s magazine star than a tremendous drummer! Since it’s not my job to decide, I enjoy all of their performances and Storm’s as well. Luckily, that covers almost all who are left!

-> Cheasybread writes about Dilana: “I am still shocked, shocked, that no one from Supernova said a thing. It was all Dave. Could it be that they didn't care? Or did they just think that Dave covered it? Hmmmm.....”

Maybe it’s because Dave is Burnett’s host and a Jiffy-wannabee! He figures controversy is good for ratings. The band should heve their minds pretty much made up by now.

On to another subject: Toby was OK since he didn’t re-arrange “Plush”. Toby actually never re-arranges a song; he bastardizes it. He is out of his league here. Among the men, Magni has a voice of better quality, Ryan has a more powerful voice and Lukas…Lukas has a voice, a strange voice, could be a memorable one if he gets a hit.

There's a difference between being non-politically correct and being jealous, petty, rude, and completely out of line. I've known many musicians in my career, including some famous ones and some who could show everyone here all about bad attitude, and I have never heard anyone in any band I know publicly slam people for little justification like she did.

Well, that DVD is about how Metallica almost imploded due to bad relationships within the band. And how it was imperative to bring a psychologist into the studio just so they could attempt to work together. And honestly? St. Anger isn't exactly the greatest Metallica disc. In fact, I'd label it as mediocre compared to past efforts.

This is a

>his villains.

Yes, and he usually likes to redeem them. Unless the person is so clueless that they become even less likeable at a crucial point of the game. And then he mercilessly crucifies them. I just hope that after last night, Dilana got a clue.

Her attitude towards

I disagree. The singers spend much more time together than they do with the house band. This is an indication as to how they would act in the cocoon of being in a band that has to live with each other 24/7 when they are touring or recording. I think SN respects all of them as professional musicians. But the ability to live with this person day in and day out is just as much of a factor. She has shown that she is not someone who plays well with others when not on stage. And, I'm sure of this especially in Jason's case, this will figure importantly in his final decision.

You're kidding right? I don't read People magazine but isn't half their stories about stars, musician and actors complaining about others?

Some I know: Ian Gillan of Deep Purple fame touring solo, when asked if he'd ever work with Ritchie Blackmore again answered: "Ritchie had a very controlling father and now he's become the control freak. I can't work like that."

Going way back to a little known feud: Mick Jagger when asked about progressive rock said it wasn't rock music, that if you wanted theatrics and you couldn't go to the theatre then go see Genesis, if you want rock music come and see the Stones. To get back at him, when Gabriel wrote "The Battle of Epping Forest" a song about city gang wars, he included a Mick-the-prick character. There was also a dig at Bob Dylan in there but I can't remember what it was about.

Those are just 2 examples of public slamming by musicians and by singers I like. There are millions more that I don't care to remember. Dilana's words were insignificant really unless you want to bash her. Lukas gave it the appropriate response and SN didn't comment. They have their criterias to make a decision, Dave has a show to run and found an interesting angle. That's all it was.

>You're kidding right? I don't read

I wouldn't know. I don't read it because I don't believe two words in it. Tabloid journalism doesn't interest me.

Exactly why he was touring solo. Richie Blackmore is a rock legend. Where exactly is Ian Gilliam these days? Hmmmm.

As Solsberry Hill was about his breakup with Genesis. Peter Gabriel has a rep for it. Just because he did it doesn't make him well-respected among musicians for it.

LAST EDITED ON 08-24-06 AT 03:06 PM (EST)

Sorry but Gillan also still works with all the other members of Deep Purple, the solo tour is only a break. Blackmore is the one on the outs with the group. And where is he these days? No, I'm not mocking him, I'd like to know because he is good but he is the one who has disappeared.

And you missed the other point where the slam originated from Jagger. I would say they both are very respected in the music industry. Look at all the musicians who have wanted to perform with Gabriel. War of words are insignificant. They aren't worth taking sides, OR DECIDING the future SN.

A difference here is that Jagger and Gabriel were not working or living together. If they were in the same band, it would probably have meant the end of the band.

Gilliam no longer works with Blackmore.

If Dilana is that critical of her housemates, how critical would she be of Tommy, Gilby or Jason? They do not seem like the types who would respond well to public criticism by their lead singer.

Ok, so who else was pointing at the TV and laughing their a*s off when Dilana got nailed to the floor last night? OMG! That....made my year.

I know we're not shown everything and I accept that. I don't care what her reasoning was. I don't care if she was playing around. She had no business telling Ryan he would have been nothing without House Band. Ryan's SFTEOAE has twenty songs on it. Twenty solo songs. He played every instrument on all twenty songs. He was selling out venues on his solo acoustic tour. Solo. All by himself. With no band. As much as I love and appreciate House Band, Ryan could have and HAS sold this song all by himself. Her jealousy and insecurity has to be based on that. She has said this is her last shot and she hates to see anybody else threatening her spot as frontrunner. Especially since everybody left in that house has far more talent than she does. They can write music and lyrics and melodies. All she has shown us is that she can copy melodies from a song that somebody else wrote for her six years ago. And! She had no business mentioning Lukas' private life. Even as briefly as she did. He hasn't mentioned his upbringing and she had no business doing so for him.

But like her or not, I can't deny that this picture is hot.

I want to lick Ryan's ear too!
