Thrilled to see my boy Lukas win it all. He looks good on stage with Tommy, Gilby and Jason. I hear next year's show will be called Rockstar:Canada

Lenzyjo- I was just gonna comment about the Survivor commercial- It was before the winner in Rock Star was announced and I thought WOW they just spoiled their own show!!!!! I was very disappointed in the winner. I still can't believe it. But to each his or her own. As soon as they announced Lukas I changed the channel and turned to my DH and said never mind about those tickets I wanted for Christmas. LOL

Not to sound rude, but count me in the Lukas NOT fan club. I also am wondering how he managed to get all of those votes... I really wish Toby or Dilana had won. Congrats to Lukas anyway

I think a head or two should be rolling at Global in Ontario. Through the magic of digital cable, I watched the west coast broadcast of this program - totally different and soo much better (although the end was the same). The Ontario broadcast was almost as though a 90 minute finale (with recap of the season) was planned and they changed their mind half way through! Can't believe the broadcaster so screwed up in Lucas' hometown. Maybe it's 'cuz he auditioned in Vancouver instead of Toronto

UH..of course, Toby and Dilana were going to say good things about him AND Lukas also said good things about them. They were trying to all be good sports! Remember how Dilana was blasted for 'being honest'? so bummed. whenever i see him i think of a high school theater director saying 'ok kids, we are going to put on a rock and roll show, here are your costumes!' he just so looks like a caricature. in a way i do feel sorry for him because SN is going to have a very short career. Toby is going to be great touring with the house band. And that offer of Gilby to write a song for Dilana was pretty amazing. Think in the long run, they might end up being the two winners of the show

Haven't posted in here - have been obsessed with the BB threads as usual, but I did watch Rockstar this year. I was very disappointed in the ending. I think Lukas is okay - but his voice was not as strong as any of the other top 3. Watching all of them perform over the weeks, I thought the Toby actually would have been a much better fit with the actual members of Supernova, but oh well, it wasn't my choice to make. Actually, of the four, I thought Lukas should have been in the bottom 2 and should have been eliminated at that point. Magni will be fine - he is ver popular in his own country and I think he will probably have a good following in the US if they put out and promote their music. Dilana has already recorded and will continue to be very successful - she has a fantastic voice and great stage presence. I think Toby will do well, too, and hopefully can cross over to the US and find success here, too. I guess one of the things that I enjoyed at the series and that all of the contestants were very supportive of each other, but I thought that on a regular basis, Lukas was the one who showed the most disdain for the others (rolling his eyes etc.). The false vibrato in his voice also just irritated me to no end - his voice was much better when he was singing all out. Didn't personally like his own song, either. My favorite nickname for him was Skunk Boy (white streak in hair). Loved Tommy Lee, Gilby and Jason. Dave Navarro I could have done without - he kind of creeps me out. Brooke looked fantastic, especially being pregnant. She is a beautiful woman. And I did notice toward the end the advert for Survivor, and it had Lukas playing his song with the Supernova guys - total giveaway to the ending. Very poor editing. Anyway, just my opinions, glad I watched, but wish the ending had come out different.

Well, I like Lukas and I would go see them with Lukas. Not sure I would buy the CD though - I wasn't crazy about their songs. I preferred Toby! But Lukas will do. I have a personal thing against chicks fronting guy rock bands, so I never wanted Dilana to win. As for the final song looking funny - they used different cameras for the Supernova songs at the end of the show just like they did in previous shows. It was a trick they did to differentiate Supernova songs from the House Band. I don't know much about cameras but the one or at least the "special effect" they used for the Supernova songs was meant to look like film instead of television. It was live to tape, just like the rest of the show.

In the end it came down to Robichaux and Rossi, with the winner a Canadian for the second time in as many seasons. J.D. Fortune of Oakville, Ont., won the contest last year to become lead singer of popular '80s band INXS. "I wouldn't have come here if I wanted second or third place." Rossi told CBC News before the final. It's a trip the 29-year-old former fry cook at Hooters almost didn't make, according to Barbara Sedun, an executive with EMI Music Publishing Canada. "We heard about the Rock Star: Supernova auditions from a friend of ours in L.A. and we knew right away that Lukas was the right guy for it," she said. "I called him up and he was not interested ... So we didn't send him to the first audition in Toronto," she said. But Sedun was insistent and bought Rossi a plane ticket to Los Angeles. "We called Lukas up and said, 'Lukas, you have to go.' There was no 'No.' " Rossi had been working at part-time jobs and playing with his own band, Rise Electric. But those close to him knew he could do more, said bandmate Dominic Cifarelli. "He's a rock star, period. He has the voice," said Cifarelli. CBC

Lukas is a perfect fit for this band which is why he was chosen. Dilana was great but she's the same thing over and over...they needed more from a frontman. Though I will spill the beans on this alot of you know I work in the music industry and I'm currently in talks with Toby and his manager to gete him signed.

Was I the only one who thought that Toby's reason to pick him (he is the tallest) was hilarious?

Well, congratulations Chaka! --- My big beef with the band is that they haven't been telling people why they were cutting them. It's been like that for the past two or three cuts. Like last night, they were all "Toby, you've got a great voice that out of all the contestants can cut through the guitar no matter how loud. "And you've got so much energy and kept bringing it up a notch every week. "So we're cutting you." It would be nice for them to say that the chemistry with the band wasn't right, or they are looking for someone with better songwirting abilities, or whatever the REASON is that are being cut. --- Storm was on Howard Stern Wednesday morning and she said she was going on tour with the band, too. So I wonder if maybe the top 5 or 6 will be on tour with them??

Very disappointed in Global and there botched showing, although they did reshow it correctly at 10pm I couldn't watch. I'm glad Lukas walked away with this I think he has been terrific,especially the last few weeks, he seemed to be taking their advice to heart . I don't know about anyone else but I tend to like CDs more over live performances so I won't make any judgements on what I'll buy yet until I hear them on the radio, although I will say SN's songs don't do much for me. Toby's is the one constantly going around in my head. But a booyah eh from me as well Skee, good for you Lukas! It's partly Canadian pride and the rest just because he seemed the best fit imo.

Lukas is cookie cutter JD. They both have the same attitude, disdain for the other contestants. so I guess it's fitting that he won. One difference is that I pegged Lukas as a front runner from the beginning because of his look and sound. Never liked JD because I saw the personality first.

I only ever saw any attitude from Lukas is the first couple of eps when he seemed to be stirring the pot. I thought from everything they showed that they all seemed to appreciate each other, oh except Dilana but her opinions were just cause she was so honest, lol. JD always struck me as someone who tried to keep people at arms length and on the INXS show found out pretty quickly how is attitude was going to fly and pulled himself together. For both shows they seemed to have picked the best (lol you would have laughed there Ladytex, I did a typo and put "pest") front man for themselves.

saw a newspaper article ( forget where) that said Lukas has been Tommy's fave all along - so much so that they had to edit out many of his positive comments to keep some suspense. Also it seems that lukas will be bunking out a Tommy's house while the CD is being recorded.

Very disappointed in Global and there botched showing, although they did reshow it correctly at 10pm Are you serious? They re-aired it? When I was watching it, I couldn't believe how much they cut out. I have to admit, I love the song "Be Yourself"--Toby's version that is. Toby brought a party vibe to the song and, when he sang it during the finale, Lukas turned it into something dark and brooding. He also spent a good minute humming towarding the end. He just butchered it. For those who want to watch Toby's version over and over as I do, here the youtube link. Did anyone else's ears perk up when Brooke mentioned auditions for next year? I know it doesn't guarantee a third season, but I really hope there will be. Even though it wasn't as special as the INXS season, it's been so much fun to watch this show with you guys and read all your comments. Thanks to LB for all the spoilers.

I haven't watched last night's show yet (didn't bother once I saw the spoilers, although I will eventually watch it), but I also think that the band knew that Toby and Dilana (as did Ryan and Storm) were more than able to do a solo career. I don't think Lukas is at that point yet in his career (and honestly I think Lukas is more about rock opera than fronting a band but what the heck do I know!). I hope Toby sticks around the States and tours...I might haul my old self out and rock out to him at some point. Same with Storm...I think seeing her perform live would be awesome.

The more I listen to Dilana, the more I hear an edgy Sass Jordan in her voice. Still not happy about Lukas, but at least he and Dave can share makeup tips. (Sorry, I consider myself a fairly open minded city girl, but haven't jumped on the men wearing eyeshadow and eyeliner bandwagon yet.) Toby: drooooool..... <methinks a visit to Angelic in Calgary might be in order >

Well Toby wore eyeliner every episode so you must just like the subtle look, Eeyores... I think the right amount, like with Toby or with Dave Navarro, is SOO sexy.
