I have no clue why she is still there, except perhaps the ringer comment from earlier in this thread.

I think the hard part here is that a lot of background information available to the band, and the singers is not available to the audience. Jill is one of the singers from the yearly TSO Christmas Tour w/ Al Pitrelli. She has one of the most talented voices on the show and she's brutally honest. Everything pretty much has been done before, and the key is to do something your own way. I think she does slide into automatic pre-conceived female singer moves, but I don't think that is as big an issue as not ever being able to fit in with a dirty ugly smelly rock band. I can't picture half of the people signed up for this nightmare stuck on a bus with 3 other stinking tattooed cranky band mates, Jill has done that and more. So, she can hang, she can sing, and she's hot, that just leaves working on stage issues.

I like Dilana a lot, but her stage presence sucks. It's completely spastic and scarey. Zayra is very plotted and choreographed and honestly...plastic and fake. Toby who I think has the best shot with the exception of maybe Lukas has crap for stage presence. What original moves have we seen, falling over backwards at the end of a song, diving into a crowd, kneeling at the edge of the stage? Phil is a bobble head and even mentioned the head wobbling issue. I can go on, but i'm just rambling at this point.
It boils down to two problems:
1. Appearently no one knew who the band was going to be when they picked the singers to be part of this. Not all of them are wrong, but most of them are.
2. The same goes for the song selection. The songs they are given to choose from really don't seem to be a fiar representation of the band they are singing for.
