I think the right amount, like with Toby or with Dave Navarro, is SOO sexy. Does anyone ever try to imagine what Dave would look like with shorter hair, no facial hair and no makeup? I wonder if he'd be better looking or not as attractive.

My (then I really need to go to the gym): The talent on this show is much better than that on AI or CI. Not to say there aren't talented people on those shows, but there's not the same depth as on SN. However, the voting system means that exactly what happened this year can happen: SN had chosen their top two right at the beginning. How many times were we told Lukas and Dilana were the favourites. I have to wonder how many votes were swayed by that (if you're told someone is good before hearing them, you're more likely to like them than if you're told they're bad). Because the band has the power to choose who is eliminated, Lukas and Dilana were never in danger, even if they were in the bottom three. Really, all the fans have influence over is what order the other contestants went out in. I think Dilana had this in her back pocket. . .until a couple weeks ago when she: a) insulted fellow contestants b) wrote a "f*** you" song (her words) to the fans c) started her "poor me" run I get why people don't like Lukas's singing or stage presence. But I'm not sure why his personality should be a factor. (And this is just my take on it.) I mean, in BB or Survivor, the game is about interacting with people. But on this show, it's about making and performing music. I don't really care if Lukas isn't a supportive kind of guy. I mean, I'm working on being okay with my muscial idol, John Mayer, possibly dating Jessica Simpson! If I can overlook that, I can overlook anything. Short of unethical or immoral behaviour, my feelings about an artist personally won't affect the music I listen to or the shows I watch. Despite the potential for spoilers, I like that the show was taped. It moved faster and the winner had the chance to perform and show what he will be about. On AI, the results are sooo drawn out, then the winner has only a couple of minutes to sing the cheesy single while credits are rolling. This show is produced much better. One more thing: Woohoo Canada! To me, this is better than winning Olympic hockey gold!

I wasn't into Lukas at first but I have to say I think he is the best fit. Does anybody know the name of that first song they did together as a band? I really liked the beat. Damn, Gilby and Tommy are sexy!

Could someone tell me what happened to Magni last night....did he get axed, because I didn't see that on the show. He was there one minute, gone the next!

Lukas just looks like such a kids around these older guys. I liked Toby because he looked like a man, not a crying sad child. The times Toby's eyeliner was "less" he looked way hotter to me. I want to believe that Toby threw on the eyeliner to sort up suck up to Dave, like Lukas and Ryan were already doing. It was to fit in. LOL Toby to me could appeal to every type of person. He sort of has the mild black eyeliner look, ot appeal to the Goth looking type Dave Navarro fans. But the eyeliner isn't SO THERE that it alienates the rednecks that want a good ol' boy playing some rock and roll, for the Tommy Lee type fans. Remove the eyeliner, and use less hair product, and Toby could look like a rural hunky football star. YKWIS?

Does anybody know the name of that first song they did together as a band? It's called Be Yourself. Could someone tell me what happened to Magni last night....did he get axed, because I didn't see that on the show. He was there one minute, gone the next! Are you in Canada? If so, Global took it upon themselves to edit the show. You find the whole thing on the Web.

Was that global mix-up an East vs. West thing? I watched last night on Global and didn't have any problems. I'm in BC, so maybe they fixed it by then?

Well, at least I won't have to worry about preordering The Band Formerly Illegally Named Supernova's album. And although I would like to see Dilana, Toby and Storm perform, I don't think I can take 90 minutes of watching the caterpillars on Lukas' forehead dipping up and down behind his sunglasses.

so, another Canadian wins. Interesting. I prefer Dilana's style but lets face it, those guys want a guy infront of them. She was so powerful in presence and voice that I really am not sure that they would felt like the 'stars' of the band. Lukas, I dont really care for his style. I find him cliche' and cartoony. He hasnt got a clear voice and I didnt think that there was anything special about him, Other than his 'style' presence. He is the best match for the band. Magni was excellent. I personally feel that his personal life, young baby and wife out of country, was going to make him a scrap. It just would have been too awkward. Toby, I disliked him. I thought he butchered Billy Idol's song and couldnt articulate clearly. Good range but that isnt everything. Oh well, this is the first season I've watched...and even then just the last four episodes! My mom told me about it.

I'm in Eastern Canada and I missed the whole thing with Magni getting booted, thanks for the info. I was really puzzled watching this last night, I even called my sister to see if I could've missed anything.

Well if someone is going to Photoshop... put my man Toby in there!! Angelic..keep us posted darlin'!! I love that guy!!! I agree, he looked more of a MAN with other men on stage and Lukas seems like a boy trying to be a man. His hair did keep reminding me of a skunk and I gotta say.... they way he moves on stage and his theatrics, reminded me of Rocky Horror Picture Show. LMAO... he's just SO theatrical!!! Love Toby's voice and look and.... I often would close my eyes and just listen and I'd sometimes just about fall asleep listening to Lukas, among others. Blech!!!!!!!!!! I agree with almost everything you said, but I think Gilby is not bad looking...esp. with him sitting next to Dave Navarro. heh heh My son just started college 2 wks ago and is taking a "music recording" major. He's been in several bands and owns more instruments almost than I have clothes. LOL.. well at least NEW clothes or clothes that cost that much!!!! He always wishes there was a show where you could try out for being the best musician - he plays piano, keyboards, keytar and guitar and just about whatever else you give the kid!!! He wants to be the next "Ben Folds" but he doesn't have the voice... (and as a mom that's being pretty damn honest I have to say!) although he could get away with it when he played "rockin" songs. His last band was "melodic death metal" and he dropped out finally because he never really wanted to play that kind of music and just joined because his best friend wanted him to. They were playing clubs though. Me the roadie.. and dodging from kids who were more than just moshing. They were thrashing and it looked like a fight was breaking out! He tried to start a new band this summer called B.E.E.R. but considering most of the people are in a different city, I think he's going to have to form something at school. B.E.E.R. was supposed to play more heavy metal than death metal and I got a real learning experience on the different kinds of metal... GAH who knew? It was just heavy metal and goth to me. ROFL I think his first band was punk. He's also good at playing jazz and even classical and he'll throw in some pop (which he thinks is a sell-out) for me and some classic rock...because well, it rocks! LOL

The first song Lucas performed with Supernova last night was the one Toby did with them first, when they were giving each performer a shot at singing with the band. IMHO, Toby's version was much better. I'm having a very difficult time getting into Lucas' style. Maybe I'm just too old. (Never thought I'd say that!)

Watching2 - LOL! I, too, called Lucas Skunk Boy when the show first started. I ended up calling him Eddie Munster. Obviously I know nothing, because he's the one the band wanted. And I was so looking forward to the first CD. <sigh>}

Canadian Viewer Alert Global just announced that they will repeat the finale show friday night (tomorrow) at 8PM EST PS Global news interviewed his dad, his cousin and his booking agent on the 6PM news. His Dad says he was a catholic altar boy - but went rocker at 14. From 17 on he sported the makeup and tats ( he is 29 now). His booking agent has been booking him and his former band ( Rise electric or something like that) for many years and he has a cult following. She says she could book him with only 24 hours notice and at least 100 kids would show up.

Weird. I'm in Eastern Ontario and I watched Global and it was fine. I saw the whole Magni cut... ??? Lenzyjo - same thing happened with us last year when we went to see INXS. It was their second run and we were expecting so see Marty... but no Marty!!! SO disappointing. I was there mainly to see him over JD!! I was thinking the same thing may happen this time with SN, since Ottawa is not on the roster for the first round.

That was the best post ever!!! Watching2: I think your son has an excellent idea re: a show for competing musicians. They could do it Project Runway style--give each musician a challenge to perform or write an original song in a certain way or with a certain theme, give them some resources to help with their performance and give them a couple of days to make it happen. That would be awesome.

Scorpio - He would LOVE that. He not only plays music, he writes it and can write in many different genres. He also thinks the best as far as music theatre are George Gerswin and Richard Rogers.. of Rogers and Hammerstein. Even though he's into rock/metal, he really appreciates all kinds of music. I *think* I directed him as far as going to school since I told him he needed to learn something to earn a living while he was waiting to be "discovered." I mentioned if he worked in a recording studio, he could possibly make contacts as well as get studio time. He said their recording studio at college is awesome.

Ok.. I can't resist... Here's MY little rocker. The first 2 were taken a gig. (A girl decided he had to have "Johnny Depp" make-up when he had on his pirate outfit. LOL)

Angelic: quote: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.
Funny, that's exactly what I thought about Lukas... the same thing over and over. Eeyore: \quote(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.)} Hehehe... I was thinking the fact that he was wearing glitter lip gloss was just plain wrong! (And yeah, his facial expressions turn me off, but that's not the reason why I wouldn't wanna sit thru two hours of him singing as front man. He just seems so "one note" to me, that he bores me to tears.) Dave Navarro is a hottie. Most times. The stereotypical bad boy who you wanna take home and take care of. I'll volunteer! I can't wait till the house band goes out on tour. Dilana, Storm, and Toby would be fun to watch. And I would so buy a disc that Dilana or Storm put out.

I like your idea too Watching - true struggling musicians - or bands for that matter - and they have to participate in full challenges, like composition, songwriting, and even mixing and mastering, all in different genres.
