(S02E18) Tonight was the much anticipated (at least by me) chance to see Lukas finally play with Supernova. Is it just me or did the room suddenly turn golden when he took the stage? Now I love Lukas like a fat kid loves cake but I did notice that he doesn't interact with the band as well as Toby did. I still think the goth leprechaun would be better as a solo act.Toby gets the encore. He sings as if he's got a train to catch. I notice that Lukas is the only one sitting down when Toby comes and sings with the rest of the rockers. It's becoming more and more apparent that Lukas doesn't quite play well with others. While Lukas is better as a solo, Toby really needs the interaction of others in order to thrive. I think if the band were choosing based on who would be the most fun to hang out with Toby would win by a country mile.
The bottom three are Ryan, Lukas and Dilana.
Ryan sings Baba O'Riley. He tells the band he is going to blow their minds but instead he mainly jumps around and screams. His flailing around is a bit embarrassing. He's just an overeager pup, all intensity and yelling.
Storm does Helter Skelter. She jumps around and screams too (is this a last chance to dance type of thing?) but it's somehow less annoying if only because she's so cute.
Dilana sings Psycho Killer which she begins with a truly terrifying a cappella moment. It's better once the music gets going but still, I'm just floored by this one. It's just terrible and it reminds me of all the reasons why I didn't like her in the beginning.
And yet, it's Ryan who gets sent home. I have no idea why they gave Ryan the ax. I can only assume that Dilana's "credit" with the band bought her a free pass this week. His farewell speech to the band is just a touch bitter. And with good reason. After all, the band doesn't give him any decent reason for saying goodbye. I wasn't a fan of the "dark horse" but this should not have been his week.

I still find Lukas terribly annoying and that awful voice of his where he sounds like he's gonna vomit before every word is grating.
Ryan's performances were becoming a little forced and cliche ridden.
I think Storm will be the next to go. Sexy as hell but I don't think she's had any decent songs to shine on.
Toby is a ton of fun! And being from the same part of the world as I (my sis is actually his dental nurse) - I really wish the guy well but still - with two weeks to go, Dilana for mine.

I think all three performances left alot to be desired. I agree that Ryan's performance was embarassing. He did run around and scream. It was like he was trying way too hard. I am a fan of Ryan's and hated to see him go but based on that performance I wasn't surprised. On to Dilana... she sucked!!! I am so over her. I truly liked her from the beginning until she went off the deep end. She lost it and also lost me as a fan. Her performance last night was scary and one of the worst I've seen on the show. Now for Storm. I like Storm. She seems so balanced and even tempered. She takes criticism well and she is a damn good performer. She can sing too. I'm not surprised she is still here. I think she is going to outlast Dilana. She deserves too. I didn't think her performance was that good last night (personally I think that song sucks) but it was the best of the bottom three. As for Magni getting the most votes... What the Heck??? I am lost. He is ok, but Toby is better. I like Lukas better than I did but I find it hard to understand him when he sings. He is so dang cute though (makeup and hair aside). I am looking forward to see who Supernova picks. Personally I haven't liked any of the 3 songs they have performed. I like the guys though. I love Dave Navarro!

OMG How is Storm still there? What a mess last night was. I was hoping both girls were sent home cuz they sounded terrible. I was rooting for Dilana but I think she is already washed up and can't handle the pressure. That is a very important part of being a rockstar, the media. You have to know how to play it and she doesn't. Ryan wasn't at his peak last night but was far better than the other two and his past perfotmances should have saved him. I am wondering if they were trying to keep just girls there cuz I think they were voting by sex not talent last night. I am very dissappointed!!

You must have missed the webisode where the head of the houseband said that Ryan micromanages everything. I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan didn't practice the speaker climb a few times. Ryan could not handle touring with these guys. It wouldn't be Ryan's music, it wouldn't be Ryan's band. Plus they said the night before that Ryan was better behind the piano than he was in front of a band. That comment alone should have told you they already ruled him out.
Rumors are flying and it just depends on who you want to believe. The band either loves Lucas or hates him so it will be interesting to see how this turns out. I was almost expecting a double elimination last night with the way the axed Ryan so quickly. I really want Lucas to end up in the bottom 3 just to see how he reacts to it.

I knew, pretty much from day one, that Supernova was not the sharpest tools in the shed. They have proven me wrong.
If there is soemthing on the planet stupider than these dudes, I don't know what it is. But it's better for Ryan in the long run. Supernova is not going to last. We all know this. We all want the best for our favorites, and the best is NOT being stuck with Supernova, even for the brief period of time that they'll be together.
I wasn't an INXS fan, but I miss those guys something fierce right now.

Dilana needs to go back to the begining she was fantastic and blew it last night, what was with the Horns? I think she will go over board and blow it even further until she is gone, what a shame, cause when I go back and look at most of the songs she has done she would be just perfect for Supernova.

So Dilana lost it one week. Ever since day one no matter what song she sings, she makes it her own and she is an amazing talent. What some people do is not listen to her because of her look. She looks amazing and fits in the band too. The only reason that Toby is in there is a bunch of girls think he's "cute". Cute isn't the
only thing in life people. You also have to have a great stage presence, which Dilana has. My sister and I have already bought Supernova tickets, but if Toby wins,
we are getting rid of them..

ok normally I don't bag on other's post but when you accuse people of being stupid it is imperative that you, yourself are coherent. So that being said, Sharpest Tool in the Shed Dude, your post in fact, is stating that Supernova is the sharpest tool in the shed. Not to mention your subjects and plurals are just a mess. I love the show, love the guys and love the singers. It's all good.

The fact that Magni was not in the bottom three does not have to mean that he had the most votes of everyone, just that he was never in the bottom three. Example:Toby was in the bottom three early but could have ended up with the most votes at the end.

Ryan has been a poseur from the start, but they should have jetisoned the guy after that silly 'throw the guitar' moment a couple of weeks ago, right after the band told Magni he should have considered it in his performance. It was shocking that they did not call the guy on that.
It's funny that a Coldplay song was chosen for him, because though I think that he ruined it by all his silly stage antics, he actually *looks* like a guy who should be fronting a Coldplay like band, as opposed to Supernova. But really - he sucked last night with Baba O'Reilly, and voted himself off with his clumsy climb the equipment moves. If you think that Dilana messed up with Psycho Killer, truly Ryan was worse.
He simply is not right for this band, and he has little talent to boot.
I actually thought that Dilana did a great version of Psycho Killer last night, but that may be because I love the song. It's certainly not something that Supernova will do. But she really did not belong in the bottom three based onthe previous night - her Mother, Mother was far better than what Lukas did.
By now I think that the band would be fine with either Dilana or Toby fronting them. Magni is a nice guy, but he's just not the right guy for this band, and Lukas has the look but simply cannot sing well enough. And Storm is beautiful and has a great voice, but, again, I just cannot see her fronting this band. She'd be better doing something else, I think.

Whats the go sending Ryan home and not Storm, I kinda agree that the guys are just trying not to appear sexist and keep the male female balance.

as for dilana, it takes balls to apologize so give her credit. no one is perfect, she has a point. i would love to see her take the lead and put these boys in their places. as for magni and toby, you 3 will make it to the finals and its going to be a tearjerker. sorry lukas, youre just not manly enough. at first i thought you would be the lead but you just dont have it in you and storm, you hand tough but just not fit for the gig. peace to you all. it has to be tough. thanks for keeping it real.

I was perfectly coherent. As I said, they proved me wrong...they're even DUMBER than the dull tools in the shed. Seems to be a trend.
If you're going to accuse someone of being incoherent, you should probably be coherent yourself, as you said. And you shouldn't try and pick on people's grammar skills when you obviously have none yourself.

lukas is an awesome performer and personality, but honestly, i didnt understand ONE SINGLE WORD of what he was singing tonight. he has to work on his elocution.
dilana was HORRIBLE, what a bad song choice and an even worse performance, she has committed career suicide.
ryan; well we all knew this guy wasnt right for supernova, so why torture him.
storm is gone , just a matter of time
how the HELL did magni not end up in the bottom 3 at any time. this guy is way too nice and boring to be a front man
it will come down to either toby or lukas. toby is the better fit for supernova, while lukas is more talented.

I think Toby is awesom. He is definatly the best front man by far , and has a personality also. He gets the crowd rocking. Luckas l agree, looks great but cannot understand a word he sings. Come on people (aussies in particular) lets get behind Toby!!!!!!!
Storm man whats going on with her the last couple of weeks. Dilana always sounds the same & magdni, too nice of a guy , don't think he would last the distance travelling!!!!!! " Go TOBY"

I agree with Tammie... "Dilana always sounds the same" every song she sings... I agree with Theresa..."Dilana... I think she is already washed up and can't handle the pressure."
I said early on I didn't think a chick was right for this band and as the comp goes on I think I am being proven right.
I think Toby gels with the band and as he said last night, he knows how to have a bit of fun and touring with Tommy, that has to in the essential criteria category!

Even though I'm from Toronto (same as Lukas) I can't see him as the lead singer for Supernova. He looks like a troll and his voice is painful to listen to (it does indeed sound like he is on the verge of vomiting with every note he sings). I adore Toby who seems like he would be a great team player. Storm is gorgeous, has a great voice and would bring a new audience to the old fellas in the band. Dilana has gotten very sad (although perhaps the show's producers have played a hand in scripting her maudlin downfall to encourage that Omarosa-type silliness to keep the fans interested in her crazy downhill slide). Magny is the classiest and most talented of the bunch and would bring a real international appeal to the three has-beens. I can't wait to see the final outcome, no matter how phoney and contrived they make the rest of this contest. I'm completely hooked!!!
