LAST EDITED ON 08-16-06 AT 09:23 AM (EST) The Contenders
1-Magni – David Bowie “Starman” : He made me forget Bowie’s rendition. Do you realize how hard that is? It was a strong performance, the best of the night.
2-Lukas Rossi – Chad Kroeger “Hero”: I thought Magni would pull into the lead but Lukas delivered. He is as much an actor, showing his emotions, as he is a singer, rocking it!
3-Dilana – Harry Chapin “Cat’s in the Cradle”: I don’t think it was the performance of the evening but it was powerful and emotional. Great talent!
At this point, I feel Magni would be the choice if Supernova wants a long and productive career of recording and touring. He’s probably the most dependable and the strongest musician.
If they want to have a meteorite-like impact, then you have to decide between Lukas and Dilana. Those two would rock any house. I still really enjoy both and can’t decide.
A Step Behind :
Ryan Star – Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight” : When he doesn’t move, Ryan is excellent as he was last night. When he rocks, he looks as out-of-place as a 360 lbs defensive lineman who has just recovered a fumble and needs to run through a crowd! He isn’t a stage performer and that is the only reason I took him out of contention.
Storm Large – Gloria Gaynor “I Will Survive” : I find Storm extremely attractive but I can’t keep her in contention anymore. That was painful and except for “Anything, Anything” and “We are the Champions” she hasn’t done enough. This should get her bottom 3 and would treat us to a new performance!
Interesting but out of Place
Zayra Alvarez – Original “Lluvia De Mar” : That was nice and it showed to her bashers that she had more than sex appeal to justify her presence on the show. She’s not for Supernova but adds to the show.
You’re Still Here?
Toby Rand – Peter Gabriel “Solsbury Hill” : That was HORRIBLE! I know I love Gabriel too much but even so: When the eagle “was something to observe” the singer should make us feel it is a wonderful sight, not deliver it with his eyes closed. When you are “standing, stretching every nerve” it should sound painful, not just another line to deliver on tempo. And when “I’m gonna take you home”, it should be a joyous dance, a trip around the arena, something, but not standing there like an imbecile. That was Toby. If Supernova wants someone to bang on the congas or play with a megaphone. he's your guy!
Patrice Pike – The Police “Message in a Bottle” Why was it a “Message in a BAttul”? She’s cute but boring as always.
