That last girl was awesome, Delana? She held my attention and I thought I was too old for this stuff. <77 Only edited for continuity>

I don't remember everyone's name either but there was some great talent. It will take me a week or two to figure everybody out. I do know that I didn't care for the guy that sang "Roxanne".That was pretty, pretty, pretty bad.

I think I remember being more impressed with the talent last year...hmmm...maybe it was the songs. I liked Toby (the Australian guy) the best.

Naturally, I didn't watch last year. I didn't watch the first seasons of bb, survivor or american idol. I'm always a couple of steps behind...

About halfway through on the left coast. So far I like Storm and the Australian guy...and the girl after the Australian guy. Guess I'd better get down to watch the rest and learn the names, huh? A few were pretty off-key and pitchy (dawg), but I guess that is to be expected this early on.

Guy from TORONTO ...he could win it. he has the whole package to front the band for those guys and not die in the process. But you all have to vote for Ryan just cause I HAVE to!

Man, entering in those characters is a pain, but I guess it keeps the voting semi-honest and bot-free. Tonight my votes went/are going to Storm, Toby, Patrice and Dilana. They impressed me the most by far. Chris, Iceland guy and...I forget now, darn it...Matt? were in the bottom three in the early west coast voting, so I would guess at this early stage one of them will be the one to go tomorrow. I suppose that means I can stop worrying about voting now

My least favorite was Magni and Chris but I have no idea who I'd put as #3 in the bottom. Some great talent!! Dilana blew me away! So intense!

I love the show, but I have turned into such an old lady. I kept finding myself thinking all during the Dilana's performance was 'you know she would be so much prettier without that huge peircing under her lip'..pathetic! i think i liked the girls better than the boys. kind of funny seeing Tommy get all choked up during that one girls song. Love how the band gets all into the songs. Is this the same house band as last year?

Looks like the same house band. I agree with most of you about who was the best. I would like to add that I liked Josh. Disliked one guy and girl that sang nickelback... Cin

was it my imagination, or did it seem like the girls did a lot better job than the guys? just listening to the CD from last year--that was some great talent. it will take time to get used to this group. but this is so above american idol, although Roxanne guy was blah. loved the reactions from tommy lee, etc. i would have also liked to actually heard what their band sounds like. there was no jam session, nothing. that would have been a good thing. and i did watch the 1/2 show on VH 1, that was actually a really good part of the whole thing. oh well, its still so good.

The house band is awesome! Looks like the same band as last year. Yeah, Chris sang Roxanne and he's one that I put in my bottom 2. I still can't decide on a third. All during Roxanne I kept thinking this guy picked a really bad song to sing since he has a very limited vocal range. The other one I disliked was Magni, the guy from Iceland. Not only was his singing not that good but he also acted like.."why isn't everybody going nuts over me..I'm a huge hit in Iceland". His whole attitude just didn't sit well with me. But that's just my opinion.

Twinkie, about the guy from Iceland, that's my opinion too. My favorite girl singer was Patrice, I liked a couple of the guys but can't remember names. There was a couple of guys and at least one girl who were in the wrong competition, they were good just not for this show.

Didn't Iceland Guy say he was one of the top ten rock singers in Iceland? What he didn't tell you is there are only 11 singers in the whole country... I thought Dilana's performance was the most memorable in a good way. At first glance, she's the only one of the women I could see fronting a band with Tommy Lee and Jason Newsted -- a dirty, ugly rock band. A couple of others were memorable in a bad way (Magni, Chris and Zayra for me). The rest will take a while to separate from the pack.

Dilana was awesome, I could also see Storm fronting the band. Lukas was memorable, but I liked him. I didn't like the little girl from Georgia, the Icelandic guy, the guy that sang Roxanne or the guy from Chicago.

What's guys name with all the eye makeup from Canada? I saw him and another woman from Vancouver, BC on Entertainment Tonight-Canada last night. (I've taped the show, hopefully will watch it tonight.) How did he do with his song? He wasn't the one who sang Roxanne was he?

I HATED Dilanas performance. I laughed so hard throughout it. She was trying too hard to be strange and it came off to me looking pathetic. Looked kind of like a tranny. I could not watch more than one song of hers in concert. You would think I would feel the same way about Lukas, but I dont. He just fits what he is trying to do. Plus, he has worked with Alex Lifeson of Rush. Love that band. Lukas just had unique rocker written all over. Great vocals, great stage presence, unique looks. I think he is the one to win it all. Josh has something different and interesting about him. Then there is also something that made me think he was a bit annoying. Storm had the yuck factor if that is what Tommy and the boys were looking for. Not really impressed with her song though. Jenny has a great voice. Dont know if it fits what the guys are looking for. Shelooks kinda like Daryl Hannah. Especially when she was on stage. She has that rockstar thing going on. Zayra NOOOOOO that was awful. that song was so out of her range. Patrice smiling the whole song was annoying. : ) I dont have anything against a great smile but sometimes there needs to be some emotion in the songs. She has something about her though. Magni cant move around the stage very good. that is something that can be worked on though. need to hear more from him. Phil is lacking a chin. oh yeah, cant sing either. Dana just doesnt have IT. Reminds me of the girl singing in the club last weekend. She is lacking stage presence. Toby just was mediocre to me. No stage presence. Chris was awful. I got a feeling they will keep him around. He may go far. Just think he is their from disliked to rockstar guy. Ryan is someone I am interested in seeing more of. Meaning in singing, not nakedness. I have to see if he would fit the band. He has something that interests me. Jill, Jill, Jill! A loud voice, but not a good one. pretty smile though. Matt needs to go back to the dives in Chicago. Just is lacking the all around rockstar vibe. I think it is gonna be a guy and that would be Lukas. just an early prediction.

Miz -- Chris sang Roxanne. It was awful. What makes me think they will keep him around is "why did he make the top group anyway?" he was awful. I think he will be their Marty this year. Not as pretty, but he will pull out a bag of tricks and stay on for awhile. If not, I have to ask again "why was he there?" I know there are many alot better than him.

SO happy Rockstar is back!! Makes you wonder what we're all doing watching Idol... I was not impressed with Ryan (sorry, Ladybug, I know he's your friend.) He seemed to have an ego-chip on his shoulder and to me, choosing not to sing for the band in the studio was a HUGE mistake. For those who didn't see the 1/2 hour pre-show, the contestants were brought into the recording studio with SuperNova, before even moving into the house, before really getting to say Hello to each other. SuperNova gave them a piece of one of their songs and asked them each to get up and provide one verse and one chorus. Somehow Ryan's strategy was to not lay all his cards on the table at the first opportunity he had to perform for Supernova. Doesn't make sense to me. Zayra also did not impress. Her bit in the studio was just awful, and her performance on stage last night was not much better. As for the girl who sang Nickelback -- again, in the 1/2 hour pre-show, when they moved into the mansion and were given their song selection, Jenny was not feeling well and was curled up in bed upstairs. Storm brought her the list of songs and through the closed door offered Jenny the Nickelback song. Because Jenny wasn't with the group, she essentially got stuck with whatever song she got... Storm kind of offered Nickelback, and Jenny accepted, but I don't know if Jenny had any idea what other songs were on the list. Speaking of -- I find it funny that the band supplies a list of songs for these guys to sing, and they have to duke it out for who sings what, and then the band lambasts the contestants for a poor song choice. It's not like they had TOO much of a choice in the matter. I wonder what the bottom three will have to sing tonight -- last year, the bottom-dwellers had to sing an INXS song... will we be hearing Enter Sandman tonight?? LOL. I really liked the girl who did Melissa Etheridge. To power through the whole song and not once sound tired or strained... wonderful. I also agree that Lukas has a good shot at the whole thing (Go Canada!!). There were a few "yikes" moments in his performance last night, but.... remember J.D.'s first couple of live performances? The 1/2 hour mansion show really makes this show as good as it is. Sorry to all of you who will not be getting this. Interesting, also, that the theme song for this season is still INXS. Nice tribute, I suppose. Oh, and one last thing before I forget... BROOKE! Put on some clothes, girl!! Seriously.

BBFanatic-Thanks...so Chris is from Canada? Was he wearing dark eye-shadow? When I saw him on Entertainment Tonight-Canada, he was saying how he didn't even live out of a car because he couldn't afford it and hasn't paid rent in ages. He said he's lucky to have friends who support his music and let him stay with them. I just got the "MOOCHING" vibe big time. I can't say I liked him very much from his interview. I like the woman from Vancouver, but now I can't remember her name. lol
