Let me just say that I was a little upset with Dreambeliever for ending the love list a week too soon. Happily the situation has been remedied. (Thanks for resurrecting the topic, I love these love lists).

This is tough. These people are so talented that each is deserving of the "victory" in his or her own way. .

1) Lukas Rossi – Coldplay “Fix You” & Original “Headspin” I'm a latecomer to the Lukas fan club.
His performances wowed me tonight. I was not sufficiently moved to lick my home entertainment system the way some posters do but I was moved nonetheless. I'd buy his CD.

2) Toby Rand – Radiohead “Karma Police” & Original “Throw it away”. I found Toby a little weaker tonight, but I have placed him at number 2 because I enjoyed his performances in recent weeks and appreciate his ability to make a tune instantly recognizable. I thought Gilby's criticism was unfair.

3) Dilana – The Police “Roxanne” & Original “Supersoul” . I agree with DreamB, Dilana was back in a big way and perhaps better than ever.

4) Magni – Deep Purple “Hush” & Original “When the Time Comes”. How can anyone not like this man. He is a great musician but I still find myself unmoved by his performances. Any band would be lucky to have Magni, but he is a better band member than leader.

Booted: Storm Large . Storm's performance of "Wish You Were Here" was so moving that I still cry when I hear it. I don't miss her the way I missed Jordis last year, but I do miss her.

***** Upcoming completely DAW random thoughts *****

Dave: Is it just me or does Dave tend to exagerate a little when he complements Dilana?

Jason: Stick to the thoughtful comments Dude and leave the joking to Tommy.

Tommy: Stick to the jokes Dude and leave the criticism to Gilby.

Gilby: He has lost the hostile edge and has emerged as a thoughtful and decent guy. I still disagreed with Gilby's criticism of Toby.

SuperNova: I am still optimistic that this band will do something good in the year(s)ahead. I look forward to hearing them on the radio and hope all the comments about a lack of committment are wrong.

Reality TV World Posters: Some of the funniest comments I have seen in any forum and a nice friendly environment for internet commenting. More forums should be run like this one.
