She and Dilana are the two strongest contestants by a country mile, if Supernova are really open to a female lead singer. In particular, check out her stuff with her band The Balls that's not her current cabaret show, but her rock songs. She not only rocks, she rocks just as hard as Dilana. Dilana's scary speedmetal voice is fun, but if she were a guy, it'd be unexceptional, since there are a ton of speedmetal singers with a similar voice. Her singing Time After Time was a great move for her, though, and confirms that she and Storm are both lead singer material. And Storm's 6'1" -- any time she wears a skirt, people are going to get a show. At least she was trying to keep it down in front of the camera, instead of trying to anally rape Gilby like Jill "I'm a crazed stalker groupie with a good voice" G. did.

It seems to me that the judges have disliked Magni from the start and it seems like they look at him like he's competition. Zayra is just a freak show...and I forgot about Phil murdering 'Cult of Personality.' I still think this is a better show than Idol, even with "Wooden Brooke."

Did you know she's 37 years old? And that she's been fronting rock bands for over a decade, in San Francisco and Portland? And that she writes a sex advice column in Portland? And that her current band, Storm & The Balls, does piano-driven cabaret covers of classic rock songs, changing some of the lyrics to make them smutty and/or funny? (You can see a lot of them on YouTube.) She's definitely got a shtick, and though I'm uncomfortable with the way the female contestants keep playing to the band's horndog side -- thank you Gilby, for keeping it real last night -- it's clear that there's something "meta" about Storm Large's sex bomb act. But I'm still pulling for Dilana and Lukas.

The Wallflowers are VERY underrated. I agree with your pick. As for my top three, I have to go with Dilana, Toby and Lukas. Dilana is the only female that I can actually see being the lead singer for Supernova. She is one of the main reasons I like this season so much. I could not stand Lukas the first week, but he has grown on me a lot. And Toby is a natural. Even last week, when the judges were down on him, I thought he did a great job. I was kind of shocked at how they criticised Magni, because I thought he did a pretty good job with "Heroes". I think that Zayra has got to go. I am shocked she has made it this far. She should have been gone the first week. And her outfit....ugh! I have to agree with you Augie. The Wallflowers are VERY underrated. I agree with your pick.

They're the only three I can actually picture fronting a band like Supernova. The rest just reek of pre-fab poseur (although Ryan is growing on me week after week). And I can't decide who needs to go worse - Zayra for committing hate crimes against music, or Phil for once again butchering a song I really liked (first "Cult of Personality," now "One Headlight" - how did he ever sift through the filtering process, as Ezekiel so astutely pointed out. Props to Storm for pulling out a Dramarama classic, but she's also a bit on the fake side for my tastes. AFter last night, my top three remain Toby, Dilana and Lukas.

He's consistently awful and last night, I couldn't understand him through his mumbling. The only ones that stick out for me is Lukas, Dilana, and Storm. The rest bore the crap out of me. But, saying that, I wish they wouldn't edit the judges so much, particularly Jason, who seems to be almost be cut out completely at times.
