Rockstar: Supernova: Week 7 Perfomances

PRINT| E-MAIL|MORE
One of the problems with performance-based shows is that as the group of contestants gets smaller the amount of filler gets higher. Unfortunately since most of what we have seen of the "rockers" has been onstage, watching them cavort drunkenly is like watching strangers. Last season we got a bit more of the dynamics of the group. This season's crowd is both more seasoned and less fun. Even their letting off of steam looks like work.

Tonight they do the stripped down versions of songs. While I love the addition of the string quartet it seems to throw off some of the stronger competitors.

Zayra took the chance to sing an original song. Her outfit is understated tonight and she sings in Spanish and plays guitar. The song sounds a bit like the theme to a telenovella. She's a little better in her native tongue but the song only proves it's time to give this lovely the hook.

Magni, Starman -- He dresses in a white suit and does a very commanding performance. He's still a bit bland for me but he's getting a little bit of personality.

Patrice, Message In A Bottle -- It's not that she's bad, it's never that. But the arrangement is a bit flabby and her performance is a bit weak. I still think she just doesn't know how to manage a larger venue and get a big crowd rocking.

Lukas, Hero -- A priest's collar? Oh how punk. It goes so well with the fingerless gloves. He plays guitar and sings very slowly. Is it just me or is he especially twitchy this week? His facial expressions are all over the place, smiles, grimaces, eyebrow raises. It only increases his demented imp look but I still think he rocks.

Storm, I Will Survive -- She sings a stripped down version while in a men's suit. Very torchy and as usual so theatrical. She seems to have been taking singing lessons from Jill, aiming for the howl over the precision vibrato. I'll never tire of looking at her but this wasn't my favorite song of hers and the band gives her quite the spanking.

Toby, Solsbury Hill -- Toby plays with Gilby. He sings a bit fast starting off but overall I think this is one of his stronger performances.

Ryan, In The Air Tonight -- Frankly his faux intensity just wears on me. It doesn't matter how much you strain if your heart isn't showing. Cute coat though. Why does the band love him so much? If this guy wins this whole thing I am going to be bummed.

Dilana, Cat's In The Cradle -- She does a harder version of this soft song, making it a bit more rock but still very heartfelt. Dilana and Lukas are still outpacing the competition but the race seems to be getting closer and closer. The two obvious frontrunners are going to have to step it up a notch.

The bottom three are Zayra, Patrice and Ryan, Swap out Storm for Zayra and you've got my bottom three. And I'd give the encore to Toby.
