Reality Show – Week 10
On the weekly recap
After the usual recap of the previous week, the reality show start with yet another dose of Dilana’s self-pity theatrics.
Dilana – “I would have like this so much more if I didn’t screw up my song. I hit a blank”
Lukas - “You’re only human man, you know?”
Dilana - “You did it on Celebrity Skin”
TLRC: oh please! Must you always point others fault to rise yourself above them?
A food fight and a dressed-up pool party followed the Dilana ‘moment’.
Well, most of them were fully clothed. Must be part of the weekly activity schedule.
The remaining rockers where then given the new Supernova track on which they would be doing this week’s –one on one- song clinic the following day. They all love the track and this one got a unanimous vote.
On the song writing clinicGilby Clarke’s comments on each rocker after their individual clinic:
Storm: Storm is always a pleasure to work with. She’s “extremely professional”Magni: I was disappointed with Magni’s song, I just didn’t think his lyrics where exciting. Magni is a confusing one for me. Is he a creative musician? I don’t know yet!
Lukas: I thought Lukas’s song was very good. Melodically, it was ‘excellent’. He didn’t take the generic route. He came in with a chorus and a verse knowing he could get by, but that is kind of irritating. I had to do more writing with Lukas’s that anybody else’s. Lukas’s competition is himself. I believe he feels that this is “his to loose”.
Toby: Toby comes in with a fresh new approach, he’s younger, he’s got a lot of energy and it’s an energy that we need. I thought that Toby’s contribution was the most ‘complete’.
Dilana: We don’t think her writing is where we were hoping it would be. So I was curious to see what she would be coming in with.Dilana’s writing was a little cliché. Although I thought today’s lyrics where her best that we have seen so far, I could have almost predicted what she was going to say in the song. When it gets down to putting this into words, doesn’t seem like she has a big imagination.
“Any artist who is going to have a successful career is writing his own songs. These five people have gotten this far because they are who they are. Now it’s really what are you going to bring to us. So if you’re not bringing anything, then what the hell do I need you for? – Gilby Clarke”
On the song selection
This week, each rocker will perform their own set. On top of choosing a song from the board they will also perform an original.
“In between songs, the Rock Star Stage will be yours to keep the audience interested and entertained. Make it count! – Supernova”
Dilana and Lukas are both focused on the same song: “Behind blue eyes”.
Lukas wants it because it’s a cool song, Dilana want it because “it is so fitting with what is going on in her life right now” (here we go again).
But then Magni plays with Lukas’s sensitive chord. The “I dare you” to take it chord. We all know that our boy Lukas strives for challenges. There is nothing he likes better than to take on a challenge in an attempt to surpass himself. It’s on baby! It’s on!
”I can’t wait to loose and then I can do my original and redeem myself” - Lukas Rossi
“Lukas is going to take that song and re-work it. It’s now a blank canvas for whatever Lukas want to do to it. – Toby Rand“
One word “Rockstar” (in a funny attempt to imitate Tommy Lee).
This week’s set will showcase the following song:
(The Who)
(original)
I have a feeling this is going to be the best show yet! The five of them ‘are’ fighting for their lives tomorrow night. The final 4 will be heading for the finale on September 13th, 2006.The wait is almost over. Unfortunately! My prediction? Lukas. Of course. But I think he will have Toby in tow and not Dilana. The Aussie mate remained true to himself. Funny, friendly and a good entertainer! The question remains: does his style really suit Supernova? No it doesn’t. But the ladies love him and he ‘his’ quite a cheerleader. Oups, I meant crowd leader….
Don’t miss it! And make a difference: vote!
