Last night's ep kind of pissed me off. I'm a fan of snarky comments by the "band" if they have some substance, but Tommy Lee, Gilby and Newsted really made my blood boil last night.

First of all, they have said they are not going to be metal/hard rock, but as Zayra said "You haven't TOLD me what your sound is." I actually applauded Zayra by snapping back at them, as I WANT to know what it is they are looking for and I'm sure the contestants would really like to know.

In my opinion, I really don't think they know what "sound" they're going for and I think they are looking to this show and the audience's voting to guide them a little.

So, my first bone of contention is that unlike INXS last year, there is no real constructive criticism given so far.

Sort of going hand-in-hand with that is the "song choice" B.S. If you don't want to hear a certain type of song, why are they getting it as a choice? These rockers get one song each for each week. THEY don't pick the songs for the week and they then have to "fight" it out over who sings what.

At least INXS looked at talent first and foremost over the particular song each week and if there was something lacking INXS gave helpful criticism as to what could make it better for next time.

My second point is GET A CLUE, Supernova!!!

I honestly get the feeling that Supernova is not taking this seriously. Tommy Lee just likes being on TV (just heard he's doing some movie thing, too) and the other 2 guys are probably just along for the ride. INXS had a real goal and still had passion to do what they do . . . Supernova? I don't think so.

Last night, about half way through the show I started thinking that whoever wins this gig will find that it is very short-lived. It will probably be good for their career, but I see a quick and very short tour after the show wraps and Supernova will break up. I don't think these 3 guys, especially Tommy, have music as their number 1 passion in life right now. INXS was all about finding the right fit for their band and that was their ONLY goal and passion. They weren't there for any other agenda. I see ulterior motives written all over Tommy Lee and the other 2.

I will still watch the rest of the season, because there is some serious talent in the bunch. Unfortunately, it seems Supernova doesn't value talent as much as "song choice," so I am worried that some great singers will be booted too early.

Luckily, since Supernova doesn't seem to take this thing too seriously, I'm not vested in this year's outcome like I was last year. I don't care who wins, I just hope some of my faves last close to the end so I can see and hear them a few more weeks.

In sum, my feelings of the current members of Supernova?

Tommy Lee -- Super DAW, the biggest whore of the 3.

Newsted -- DAW Runnerup, just doesn't want to admit he's not relevant anymore.

Gilby -- He's just horny and wants to get some and had nothing better to do.
