OK, can I just say... DILANA FRICKIN' ROCKED!!!! The concert was in the Long Beach Arena. We had excellent seats on the floor, 12th row, center stage. Some boy rockers started out. They sang about four songs, and musically were good. I think once their voices change, they could be the future of rock 'n roll. Then Toby and his Juke Kartel came out. (I met Toby before they started, he's truly adorable!) They sang four songs, too, including the Rebel Yell that he did so well on TV. His look has gotten a bit more "ragged" since his TV appearances, and it was interesting to see him. He's got a lot of charisma on stage. Then came Dilana. She was not performing with the RockStar house band (I guess it was too expensive and Burnett wasn't being real helpful). But Magni was there on guitar and singing backup. Dilana only sang four songs (including Roxanne), and it felt like she could sing forever. She's a powerhouse vocalist and has more energy than the Energizer bunny. I absolutely LOVED watching her perform and hearing her sing. Bouncing around the stage, and yet she still hit every darned note perfectly. Seriously, the four songs were a teaser... I could've watched and listened all night. Then Dave Navarro's band, The Panic Channel, came out. Navarro is a hottie, but we left just before the end of their set. So I have no idea what Supernova sounded like (nor do I really care). The merchandise booth had only discs for Supernova, Juke Kartel, and The Panic Channel. So I'm impatiently waiting for Dilana's disc! She said she had a blast on the tour, but was glad that was the last night, so she could get to work on recording her songs. I can't wait until Dilana does a whole concert herself!!!!

is there going to be another RockStar season this summer? Any rumors on who the band might be? I hope they have it, and choose a band that was already together, but missing its lead singer like the first season. My suggestions -- the go-gos, the bangles, the cars ...

I'd heard a rumor somewhere that it was unlikely there'd be another one. Mostly cause of the difficulty of "finding" a band needing a lead singer. I think INXS was a major success. I think the manufactured band of Supernova was a major failure. I'd bet that these guys go their separate ways now that the tour has ended.

Maybe they need an "intact" band who are just seeking that one member as was the case with INXS to make it seem more like the real deal. With each member of Supernova already being involved with prior bands, I always had the impression that this would be a one-off project.

It would be nice if they picked a lead singer for the house band. The house band was always very, very good.

Well, INXS was actually looking for a replacement for Michael Hutchence, so I think it was a bit different for them. I felt like Supernova was manufactured (like The Monkees). And I think that's why INXS was so successful.

My son just wishes they'd do a show for potential band members... musicians, not just singers. He'd definitely be in the running if they had one of those.. if I do say so myself. LOL

I've been hearing a new song on the radio out by Suzie McNeil called "Hung Up". It's pretty good

"My suggestions -- the go-gos, the bangles, the cars ..." The Go-Gos are still pretty much together every once in a while when they do a reunion tour, last I heard. The Bangles lost bassist Michael Steele a while back, and although all four members sang lead on various songs so there was no true lead singer, I think it would be cool to find a fourth for the other three. They released an album a couple of years ago called Doll Revolution (it's really good - I recommend it) and still play shows here and there (I think they will be in New Orleans soon). Rock Star: Bangles...I like it!

Haven't seen or heard about RockStar coming back this summer. Has anyone heard anything? I would think there would be ads for it by now. Oh..and Nancypj..I've always liked The Bangles too. Their first album was a favorite of mine to play back when I managed a record store and would open by myself in the mornings. "Hero Takes a Fall" is one of my all-time fav pop songs!
