good evening! i just got off an emotional rollercoaster ride from the finale of rockstar: supernova...i was seriously rooting for dilana to go all the way - i was majorly upset when the guys choose lukas rossi over her to front their new band supernova (the name is still wrangled up in legal issues)
even though i basically couldn't stand lukas throughout the competition (he slaughtered courtney's 'celebrity skin' a few weeks back which just killed me) as i watched them all play at the end for the first time as a 'complete' band - he seemed to be a perfect fit and mr. rossi finally won me over - my finale anger subsided - i was all ready to do a very scathing post! although they didn't pick my favorite - i can now see why they picked him and was a smart choice!
i'm really curious to see if supernova achieves any commercial success - like last year the re-invention of INXS didn't seem to really hit very hard at all - i think perhaps it's because when hearing the name you can't help but think of dearly departed lead singer michael hutchence - sadly they're a band with some baggage - it's hard to live up to such a great past - gosh i did love them - one of my favorite bands while growing up! so this year the newly formed band is heading out without any preconceived notions and a fresh slate! the boys best put out a single really soon - gotta strike while the iron is hot!
as for ms. dilana - no worries - she'll actually make out much better as a solo artist - dave navarro even offered to play on her album and gilby clarke told her he'd help write & produce - she is wickedly talented and such a 'character' so it will be interesting to see what she does - she promised us fans something good would be coming down the pike - woo hoo! props also go out to both toby and magni who rounded out the final four - overall i really liked this season and it was a show i had no intention of watching but i now freely admit to getting sucked in! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
Halfway through the Supernova finale , the Survivor promo on CBS featured the song "headspin" by Lukas Rossi. This was a major fumble by the person who was in charge of running promos Wed. night. Do you have any additional info on this? Dilana was my favorite, but this sealed the deal of the winners "leak" posted a few weeks back that named Lukas the winner.When I watched the finale, everyone screamed Dilana! as the person they wanted. tragic!

I was so upset when they said Lucas! I got up and changed the T.V.!! There's not enough Women Rocker's out there. Dilana's voice so overpowered his.Lucas's voice was shrill and annoying. Sorry Supernova I will send all my cash Dilana's way!!!!!

Yup, Lukas was repulsive but then grew on me. I think he's the best fit for the group. Better for Dilana to become a solo artist, she's a far better musician than Supernova (they wouldn't do her any justice cuz they pretty much suck). The music industry needs a kick in the ass to get this girl signed up, get a good songwriter and help her become a serious musician cuz she can sing her ass off (but PLEZ give us some material.....sick of all those artists that can sing but their material is pitiful). Once achieved, THEN Dave Navarro and Gilby Clarke can open for HER, she far exceeds their talents.

I think Dilana will do much better than Rockstar Supernova.The guys songwriting needs a lot of work.INXS has done well.They have sold out almost everywhere.The fans did accept the new singer.I was there for one of the shows.They have done at least two tours.The fact that they are still touring shows that they are in demand to see live. The shows are selling well.The article above is wrong on them not taking off.
