1 - Storm Large – I'm not a huge Bowie fan, but she rocked that song pretty well. And her original was, I agree, the best. Win or lose, Storm is the one I would most want to see in concert. She brings it all.2 - Toby Rand – I actually found his first song to be a little boring - just a cover. Sure, he sings with energy, but time to show your mixing skills. His original was excellent, and had that "hook" to it. We will hear that on the radio I think.
3 - Dilana – I thought she butchered Behind Blue Eyes, but then that song in its original format is one of my favourites. It missed the sadness. Her original was surprisingly good. I can see listening to that. I am curious to know how it compares to her other original music.
4 - Lukas Rossi – I thought LOAP was a disaster, but give him credit for taking a song that he didn't want and that didn't suit him, and making it his own. I would rather see him try and fail than play safe. And the way he did the song gave him a chance to sing, which will make Jason happy. I actually didn't care much for his original. I couldn't make out the lyrics (for that matter, I can't make out his lyrics on most songs, and that is something I prefer to be able to do). The original dropped him to #4 IMO.
5 - Magni – The more I listen to Magni the more I agree with what a lot of you have been saying around here all season - he is a great cover artist. He does a great job of singing songs the way they were performed originally, and with lots of energy, but no interpretation. His original was very boring.
One last point - so far I am more impressed with the original songs than any of the songs I have heard from SuperNova. This includes the originals done by singers who have already left the competition. It strikes me that seeing SN in concert might be all about seeing the opening acts, if the opening acts included the "losers" singing their origs.
I <3 Storm. White t-shirt? *thud*
