Imo Ryan is clearly the 'favorite' in the mind of the band now. I would bet my house on him winning (ok, well maybe my dvr)... You can tell by the way they speak to him now, and how they talk to the others. To me it is written all over their faces. They looked VERY happy when he was singing 'In the Air Tonight' ...

When Dilana sang with band I thought "game over". What Dilana seems to have over Ryan is charisma. Ryan has talent but he seems to be trying too hard to sell himself and he doesn't come across like he is comfortable on stage. Dilana just seems natural and comfortable with her performance. Of course I don't get to pick. And I sure ain't no rock star!

I agree and personally only think Ryan got the encore cause they already had Delana singing something else.

Yeah, I thought that too Tuzza. Right now there are 3 people I could imagine fronting the band. I think it's between Dilana, Magni and Lucas. I'll be surprised they're not the final 3.

I think the final 3 will be Dilana, Magni & Ryan. It will come down to who can write the best original song that fits the style of the band.

Buggles, if you are betting your dvr, then I'll send you my address, because there is no way that Ryan is winning this thing!

Although I love Dilana, I don't think her song writing skills are up to par for Supernova. They showed a songwriting workshop on one of the 1/2 hour "in the house" episodes, and Dilana's song was not that great. They loved Lukas' song and he wrote it in 15 minutes.

Wow! I watched that You Tube video (thanks, Tiernet!), and I can't stop singing that song. I didn't like Dilana at first, but now I think she's definitely the favorite to win this. And I wasn't at all offended by her telling Tommy Lee that he should send everyone else home. I thought he was amused by her chutzpa (as was I). You've got to have confidence in your talent to be a rock star! Ryan is my second fave, and Lukas has also won me over. He may be edgy, but he definitely has talent. I was also amused by Dave and Supernova's varying pronunciations of Zayra's name the other night. I think they each pronounced it differently!

Ok, let's go happygal I agree with Serenity that the band wasn't happy at all with Dilana's songwriting. And I sense they would prefer a guy as much as they dig her. They way they talk to her suggests that they don't plan to choose her and I think she senses that. I think they like Lukas, but his performances are usually outshined by Dilana, Ryan or Magni. Plus I suspect he is not the kind of image they had in mind. I think they respect Magni but are not excited by him. He seemed to fall out of favor last week - very awkward chemistry with TLee. His wife is very different than the kind of women they are with. He just doesn't seem like a fit. Ryan.. they clearly have been thrilled with some of his recent performances. His range, style and image imo seem best suited. They totally partied it up in Vegas and I suspect they (would) have good chemistry. Ryan would be a draw for the ladies as well which I think they like. And the live audience LOVES him - watch and compare. I also sense that Dave wants him to win and will champion him.

I think Ryan earned Jason's respect in Vegas because he didn't totally party it up...he kept his "stuff" about him and knew when to quit, although he definitely was in on the party. Just once I would like to see Lukas without all the excess...he's not auditioning for Kiss, for goodness sakes! I still think Toby has the right stuff to fit into the band, but he has been outdone by Dilana. And I'm not too sure getting snot slinging drunk enamored the band to him. Oh, and I thought Dilana's songwriting sucked. Her lyrics were infantile.

<<I think Ryan earned Jason's respect in Vegas because he didn't totally party it up...he kept his "stuff" about him and knew when to quit, although he definitely was in on the party.>> thats cool.. I thought I read on his 'blog' though that he was the only guy who stayed up and partied with SN and he felt good about that - the others went to bed early(?) i knew jason likes to have a few beers and leave it at that.

Early on I thought Toby had a great shot at this but for whatever reason the band just doesn't seem all that impressed with him...

On the video piece on msn he made a point of saying he stayed up and partied but didn't drink until he passed out...that might have been his politicallhy correct way of NOT saying that both Toby and Lukas were passed out early. He also was the only one who was able to function the next day...LOL.

I think the best bet for Supernova would be to go with multiple singers---Ryan on keyboards and half the lead vocals and Magni on guitar and the other half of the vocals. (Went to a STYX concert last night and they have 3 guys that each sing lead on a third of the songs--great concert by the way)

I was going to look up some old cds this weekend and check that. Because that may make a huge difference in what they are looking for and how much writing ability matters to them. Also, I am sure musicians of this level have access to some really strong writers.

Roxip you're still in your prime. Are tattoos and piercings a must to be a rock star?

This was in our local paper about Storm Large. I hope the link works. Taken by Storm Excitement has been building on the set of "Rock Star" in Los Angeles, where Portland's Storm Large is threatening to become a Supernova LINK

I guess that's why I have never become a rock star. I have no desire to tattoo or pierce anything other than my ears...although if Chris Nunez came along with the package I might reconsider. HMMMM...or Dave Navarro....or Gilby....

Have the members of SN written alot of their songs? Butch Walker wrote all the songs that will be on the Supernova CD. On another note... Ugh. I just finished watching the online episode. When Lukas tells a reporter he lost his virginity while a Metallica song was playing, I almost puked. Two people get to do their own originals. And once again, we get to hear a Nirvana song and a Police song. I am so sick of the narrow song selection. However... I still love Jason.

OK, please forgive my ignorance. I am one of the lucky few who gets the Monday "mansion" episode broadcast on TV at ten PM every Monday night. Tonight, my network picked up the pilot of some new show on FOX, and played a later showing of the Treasure Hunters finale than normal, thereby dropping tonight's mansion show. I went to the website to download the episode we missed tonight. Am I wrong in seeing that I can't actually download the ep? I can only watch it in the popup it provides? And then, I can only watch it in the 4x3 frame it gives me? No full screen option? AND THEN... it's four parts, each three, six, ten minutes? Sorry, but if this is how most of you are having to be viewing the mansion show, I'm terribly sorry, that really sucks. I really hope I'm just missing something somewhere on the website... that's incredibly frustrating.

I thought, at the very least, we'd have the option to play it in WMP and watch it full screen. No such luck. They do keep the commercials at a minimum. For that I am grateful.
