LAST EDITED ON 07-06-06 AT 02:15 PM (EST)I wasn't sure how much I was going to enjoy this season's RockStar, since "Supernova" isn't near and dear to my heart as INXS was and this season will be without JD. HOWEVER, talent is great to watch, no matter what the end goal/result is.
Before I start my list, I have to say that my overall opinion is the gals ROCK and are head and shoulders above the guys who, with the exception of just couple of them, were really disappointing IMO.
Edited to make a couple very important changes to my list after doing a double check of the performances (I confused one of my faves for a bad performance and I also took the time to watch the 1st ep of the "reality show.")
Simply Mesmerizing
1) Dilana – Nirvana “Lithium” -- Scary? Yes. Hot? Yes, in a scary sorta way. I couldn't keep my eyes off her. She sounded and looked amazing last night and if I had to pick a winner after last night's show, SHE IS IT!!! She looks/sounds like a great fit for the band so far.
2) Zayra Alvarez – Evanescence “Bring me to Life” –-Unique sound/look. I was mesmerized by her performance.
3) Josh Logan – Black Crowes “She Talks to Angels” -- GREAT performance. I can't see him as a fit for Supernova, but I hope he lasts awhile because he is talented. One of only 3 guys that actually impressed me last night.
4) Toby Rand – Bob Dylan “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” -- Another one with a great voice and talent, but doubt he's a match for the band. I hope he's around for awhile to listen to his vocals and his accent.
5) Lukas Rossi – Billy Idol “Rebel Yell” -- Not my cup of tea, but he was amazing. I probably enjoyed him more than I normally would since most of the guys were just awful last night. Not too impressed with his 'tude at the house. Sorry, but you're no JD Fortune who was a bad boy with good intentions.
Simply too Good to Miss
6) Storm Large – The Who “Pinball Wizard” –- Great start for the night.
7) Patrice Pike – Jefferson Airplane “Somebody to Love” -- Loved it.
8) Matt Hoffer – Coldplay “Yellow” -- I like his sound, but he doesn't have a chance in heck of winning. Not the right style and it will look like 3 old men and a 12 year old boy and that is just perverted.
9) Dana Andrews – Melissa Etheridge “I’m the Only One” --I loved her vocals and she is adorable, but I can't see her fronting this band. Three dirty old men and a Catholic School girl -- again, perverted. I hope she lasts a little while, just to hear her voice.
Simply There
10) Ryan Star – Goo Goo Dolls “Iris” -- Not bad, but not memorable. Also, I'm not liking his 'tude at the house. Why are you there if you're just going to lay low and not step up on anything. Boo!
11) Jenny Galt – Nickelback “How you Remind Me” -- To me, it was weak and lacked fire and excitement. Meh.
12) Jill Gioia – Janis Joplin “Piece of my Heart” -- It seems like she was trying too hard. It just didn't sit well with me.
13) Magni – Rolling Stones “Satisfaction” -- It wasn't terrible, but I just wasn't that impressed. Not sure what it was. His stage presence and overall personality is lacking so far.
Simply Pathetic
14) Phil Ritchie – Living Colour “Cult of Personality” PUTRID. I guess he didn't watch last season where Ty did an awesome job with this song.
15) Chris Pierson – Police “Roxanne” This guy made the top 15? There's no crying in baseball, see ya later!!
Should be Bottom 3:
Chris / Phil / Magni
If Chris pulls out a great final performance, I could see Magni going home as it seems Chris made a good impression when they contestants first met the band in the recording studio.
