Some info I'm reading... regarding Tuesday's show.. so don't read if you don't wanna know...
The reality clips at the top of the show focused on yet more fallout from Dilana’s comments last week. If you’ve seen the webisode, then you know about all the drama. If not, prepare yourself for 5 of the most painful (as in “full of pain�? minutes of TV you’ve seen in awhile.
An intense Q&A followed. Jason blurts out that this is “Bullsh--! She didn’t do anything wrong!�?before Dave can even ask the Rockers for their feelings. Storm then comments that this is a TV show about Rock ‘N Roll, not a Soap Opera. “Let’s get back to the music!�?she implores. Magni poo-poos the “cut-on-the-head�?drama, saying that he’s cut himself worse shaving. And Lukas echoes Jason’s comments, saying that showing this stuff to the world is “f--in�?bullsh--�?
Meanwhile, Dave wants to know: how is Dilana doing? Despite the fact that it must have been all kinds of Hell for her to have to watch that video package �?the Rockers were quite obviously surrounding her in support and she spent most of the time clutching Magni’s hand �?she insists that she is strong and that she is going to “rock the sh-- outta this place.�?The audience cheers its approval; and, finally, it is time for everybody to MOVE ON.
And here are the songs they're singing...
Lukas �?Lithium
Magni �?I Alone
Ryan �?Clocks
Storm �?Bring Me to Life
Toby �?Rebel Yell
Dilana �?Mother Mother
And some notes about them...
Dilana - Dave was on his feet at the end, urging the crowd on to an even bigger ovation. He then says this may be his favorite performance in 2 seasons of Rock Star, and that there was “real rage�?in the song.
Toby - Gilby told Toby it was a “great night�?for him. Jason completely dug it, saying it was “way, way cool�?and that Toby really “blew it out�?from the second verse on
Storm - Storm was a verse into the song, performing it with her usual power and professionalism, when MAGIC happened. A deep, growly male voice was suddenly heard, singing in counterpoint. The 2 voices sounded so incredible together that I immediately got goosebumps �?before I even realized that Toby had unexpectedly joined Storm on stage! Although he physically hung in back, letting her have the spotlight, vocally he was dynamite and helped kick the song up to a whole ‘nother level. (If neither of these two get this gig, they should seriously consider touring together.)
Ryan - Tommy would’ve liked a “heavier version�?of the song, but Gilby said he actually preferred Ryan’s voice to the original. (Gilby admitted he doesn’t like Coldplay.) Jason felt that the “piano/vocal thing�?is Ryan’s “forte�?and that he still seems uncomfortable when he is in front of it - like he doesn’t know what to do with his other hand. Still, Jason liked his energy.
Magni - kinda pitied poor Magni having to follow Lukas. But the Iceman did a fantastic job!
Lukas - Oh, where have you been the past couple of weeks, Lukas? This was easily the best performance he’s done since Creep. First, he re-arranged the song to better suit his style - and then performed it like a complete madman (and with nary a turned-back).
