WHY? I may have missed this but why "if" Lucas had the most votes....was he in the bottom 3? That is all I want to say about that!

Right at the end of the show, they showed Lukas as being in the bottom two... that's why he had to stand, cause he was in the bottom at some point... obviously his fans brought him up to #1 by the end of voting. Dilana apparently was in the #1 position until Lukas knocked her down to #2.

Being in the #1 position didn't automatically give you the job, did it? I thought it was subjective -- a fan vote plus the rockers' opinion. And I never thought that the fan vote got that much weight -- I truly always believed that the person that Tommy, Gilby and Jason wanted to win was going to win no matter where the fan vote put them.

Just found this - if this was really his girlfriend, I'd be upset too. (from TMZ, a video showing Lukas and Tommy Lee going into a club and they won't let his girlfriend in. At one point Lukas comes out and talks to her and then he goes back in without her.) http://us.video.aol.com/video.index.adp?mode=1&pmmsid=1717311

I have read about Lukas' girlfriend Francesca on alot of the boards. She also posts over at Rock.com . She and Lukas have been together for 7 years. I have wanted Lukas to win and Dilana as the opening act/ or Dilana win and Lukas as the opening act ever since the very start of Rock Star. I have posted this on many , many boards and on my own blog. I really did not care who won or who was the opening act I just wanted to see them both. UNTIL NOW >>>> I have always said that I thought Tommy Lee was a sexist pig and never wanted a female to lead the band. I believe Tommy probably had something to do with ( influenceing Lukas' decision about not being seen in public with his girlfriend) But this is too much. Lukas already won this thing. He should have told Tommy Lee = Hey I want to bring her in. I am sure Lukas could have made it happen if he wanted it to happen. MR. LUKAS ROSSI = if this is true, My opinion of you has changed dramatically. I would consider you a WEAK, SEXIST, YOU KNOW WHAT. I hope this is not true - but have read it on several pretty reliable sites. If this is how you treat a person who has been with you for 7 years , and while as you said 'You were flipping chicken wings at Hooters' I will NOT be buying the CD nor will I be going to the concert...... You SUCK!

The place Francesca has been posting is Rockboards.com in the Lukas file and not rock.com.....Sorry I did go over to the RS SN board to see what everyone was saying about the video.... 1) some are saying the video and girlfriend are real 2) some are saying = the video is a publicity stunt and it is not his real girlfriend. 3) some say it is his real girlfriend , but the video is edited. 4) So I do not know what to believe........ I have seen this female in the audience during the RS SN shows on tv. I would like to believe this is all just editing or a set up. I find it hard to believe that a person would snub their partener like this....At least I hope.

September 15, 2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KOCH RECORDS AND STONE CROW RECORDS RELEASE ALBUM FROM SOLO ARTIST, RYAN STAR SONGS FROM THE EYE OF AN ELEPHANT SET FOR A RUSH RELEASE ON SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2006 (New York, NY) —After Ryan Star gained a great deal of buzz and became a fan favorite on a popular reality-based television program featuring top musicians from around the world (we are not allowed to mention the title in this press release because someone will get sued), Stone Crow/ KOCH Records are officially releasing Ryan Star’s underground indie album that was taking New York City by storm: Songs From the Eye of An Elephant.. The album is being rush-released for a September 19th in-store date. Like a bonus round in a video game, Ryan Star has used his global exposure to catapult his already breaking career to a much higher level. Earlier this year, the New York City indie rocker was a MySpace Featured Artist in March and in May, music industry bible Billboard Magazine stated, “Ryan Star is absolutely incredible,” adding “[he is] a shining presence awaiting his close-up.” Star was selling out shows in the Northeast (his latest was with up-and-coming UK star Corinne Bailey Rae at Bowery Ball Room in NYC) and riding the wave to national recognition when a friend in the industry put him on the list to audition for the show. Without any expectations, Star continued through several rounds of auditions with over 25,000 people until he was selected for the final cast. At first Star rejected the offer because his career was already breaking organically, but later accepted after realizing the global exposure would catalyst his growth. He is now planning a global tour to perform for all his new fans. Over the past few years, Star has toured the country with major acts like Bon Jovi, KISS, Chevelle and Third Eye Blind. He has had notable appearances such as opening for Avril Lavigne, Gavin DeGraw, and headlining a Pre-Election Night Party for Mayor Bloomberg. He has also worked with top producers such as Greg Wattenberg (Five for Fighting) and Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam). Songs From the Eye of An Elephant is a stripped down collection of songs highlighting the pure talent of Ryan Star. His passionate underground indie album started as a gift to fans supporting his live shows in the Lower East Side of New York City. However, the power of the music spearheaded a viral demand for the album that ultimately led music editors at MySpace and Billboard Magazine to take notice and join the wave of support. Although Stone Crow has been independently distributing the album since earlier this year, KOCH will now officially release the album with major distribution. (more) The track listing for Songs From the Eye of An Elephant: 1. We Might Fall 11. Sink or Swim 2. So Ordinary 12. Perfect 3. Famous Love 13. Famous Yet 4. Losing Your Memory 14. The First Time 5. Psycho Suicidal Girls 15. Waiting For Love 6. “O” 16. Here Son 7. The Back of Your Car 17. Take a Ride With Me 8. Saw You In Heaven 18. The Fairy Tale 9. The Same When I’m Alone 19. The One You Know 10. Dance With You 20. Lullaby Suicide For more information, please visit Ryan’s official website www.ryanstar.tv and his MySpace myspace.com/rstar.

Roxip, I'm sure they just used the '#1 vote getter' thing as an excuse to choose Lukas. I still believe that they had planned on choosing Toby, but felt they just couldn't since he was in the bottom two. I think if he were second to Dilana then they would have come up with a justification for choosing him. I also had the impression that Tommy did not want a woman fronting them... There seemed to be some group indecision though between Lukas and Dilana and I suspect this was because: (1) they had planned on choosing Toby so hadn't given it adequate thought - you could really see their disappointment that he landed in the bottom 2, and (2) I think Jason preferred Dilana. I always noticed that he seemed to give the women the most serious consideration. When Lukas was chosen, Tommy looked the most happy, Gilby was smiling, and Jason looked not as happy. Also when they asked to go to break before deciding, Jason had his head hung down between his hands like he was very troubled. I think he was the one holding out for Dilana. I think he really likes Lukas though. Maybe part of the 'rationale' for blocking Lukas' g/f from the club was sending a message that the boys were the priority now. No room for Yoko Ono's. Sweet that Lukas has been with the same girl for 7 years. I actually thought he sang at his best during the finale - he was good.

I wanted to say too that Dilana is such a pro as a singer/performer. More so than any of them, easily. I admire that a lot, even though I didn't care for her trying to underhandedly sabotage her friends.

FWIW, I listened to a bunch of songs from the season (I've only been watching for a couple of weeks). The only male voice I could distinguish was Lukas's; the others sounded the same. And, Lukas is distracting to watch, but easy to listen to. I think he'll do well.

I'm glad that Toby is bringing his band to the states. Hope he tours extensively and has a great career. I liked him the best...easy to listen to and easy to look at.

Heard from my friend that knows Dilana. She goes into the studio today to record a song she wrote with Gilby! That was fast!

Didn't they have a writing clinic with Gilby on one of the mansion shows? I vaguely remember seeing clips of it on the regular show. Maybe that is the one she is recording?

Not sure, could be. Or since he seemed pretty intent on doing something with her, maybe he was inspired!

Could be. Although I'm pretty sure the original song she performed is one she worked on during the show. But as Tex said... it doesn't take long to write a song if you are inspired. He seemed to really like her and her style, and no doubt was inspired. I still love her voice, and hope something comes out soon. I'll definitely buy her disc or single!

Dilana was on Ellen yesterday performing an acoustic version of Roxanne. Toby and Magni were in the audience (and it was probably filmed last Thursday). She was terrific, as always

I read in the paper today that SN has avoided further copyright action by adding "Rock Star" to their band name. The band will go on tour and release albums as the band "Rock Star Supernova".

I got the tour list from Toby's band when they posted a bulletin or whatever on MySpace. Too bad all the shows are out west. I'd love to see me some Toby.

I just heard for the first time "It's all love" by RSSN and Lukas. I knew it was his voice right off the bat, good tune and I could understand every work out of his mouth. Jason must be working hard with him. Lukas must be over the moon.
