Rock Star: Supernova Week 5 Results
The quote of the show came from Magni, speaking in the mansion after the performance show. Forgive a slight paraphrase here: “I don’t know how we’re going to top that this show. Lukas MAY remember the lyrics next week…”
Cracked me up.
Dana got her tattoo. It’s a treble clef on her right hip. Poor child. She tries so hard to fit in, but I don’t see it working.
The names of those in the bottom three over the course of the night: Jill, Toby, Dana, Zayra, and Patrice. Lukas, despite admitting to problems with the lyrics and never facing the crowd, didn’t get put up there. Even he expected to be there.
Predictably and happily, Ryan got the encore for R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion.” I loved it just as much the next day.
Jill was the first to sing for her life, choosing Heart’s “Alone.” Didn’t Gilby say in a recent show that he toured with Heart? Interesting. Her performance was good, though. She sounded like she was shouting just a touch in a couple of spots, but it was likely her best performance on the show in weeks.
Dana sang next, going with “House Of The Rising Sun” from The Animals. (Oddly enough, I just listened to a mashup of that song with “Amazing Grace” on the Coverville podcast this very morning.) She looks bored on stage while she’s trying to look crazed. I just can’t buy her as a rock star.
She also admitted to skipping practice with the house band to go to the spa. Dave Navarro wanted to hand her the competition right there for Performance Becoming of a Rock Star.
Her voice is good, though.
All throughout the show, there are cuts to the rockers sitting on the side. Am I the only one who thinks that Zayra and Lukas both think they’re the center of the universe?
It’s time to talk miracle now: Zayra did not fall into the bottom three. It would seem that America enjoys her antics just as much as I’ve grown to enjoy them. (Either that, or it’s the same people voting who made Jesse a VJ on MTV back in the day.) I can’t wait to see what she pulls off next week.
Patrice, instead, hit the bottom three. Singing with Tommy Lee just isn’t enough sometimes. She won’t last long now. She’s been in the bottom three too often, and just has no fan support. If this week’s performance doesn’t get her any votes, then she’s toast. In fact, everyone in the bottom three is Cannon Fodder. None of them are going to win. They’re just there to fill the hours of TV time the show is scheduled for.
Tommy Lee made me laugh when he commented to Patrice, “I thought we were awesome. What happened?”
She sang Jeff Buckley’s “Eternal Life.” (Ironic song choice.) She’s got the pipes, but the overall presentation doesn’t connect with me at all.
In the end, T.L. got out his newly christened “Tommy-hawk” (referring to his arm, not his– oh, nevermind) and cut Dana loose. I give Dana credit for never saying the word “journey” in discussing her time on the show.
I was a little uncomfortable when she referred to her time on the show as “a lot of firsts,” and then says to the band, “thankyou for having me.”
Ick.

I figured Dana would go eventually. She just seemed like a pop singer acting like a rock star and it never quite worked. As for Zayra, I am definitely getting the vibe that people are just voting for her now to see what she will come up with next and to see how far she will get. Yep, definitely another Jesse Camp in the making. Fortunately, the band has the final say on things!

I was disappointed that all three weren’t dismissed, to your point, they won’t win anyway. I just can’t stop thinking Martha Quinn is up there singing when Patrice performs (with a touch of Katie Couric). Jill just looks out of place on a stage without a stripper pole….
I am curious how everyone will handle the original song this week. Let’s hope we don’t get a repeat of Ty’s famous “Stop – Go” sesame street song from last year (Song became “Pretty Vegas” thanks to JD). Although Zayra will certainly come up with a unique angle and a cacophony of vocals to go along with it.
Zayra is a car wreck, I can’t help but watch…..

The nghtmare has been unleashed….
It’s as much my belief that the producers are as much a part of what happens on a weekly basis as the Supernova is. That said, the anthem pounding forth to “believe the lie” has elevated Zayra into fandom, kind of the way we need to keep licking a canchor, or thinking William Hung could sell a few CD’s. But in the end, a lie becomes the truth when it’s told too many damn times. Welcome to 21st century Rock and/or Roll.
Patrice has the eye of the tiger, and a decent voice, but takes it all too damn seriously to the point that she’s letting it through on stage and in the mansion to her colleagues. Deep down, the gal is full of piss and viniger, which is usually a good recipie for a rock star, but unfotunately, is causing her to fall apart and get eclipsed by the pack, and worse, the fans.
The aussie is losing fan support. Who saw that coming? I thought the teeny-boppers would keep ‘em goin somewhat, but the gas is running out of that tank, and I think Toby feels a tad vulnerable now.
