TV: Rockstar Supernova


Okay, so I am embarrassed to admit I've been hooked by this show. Tonight featured Supernova playing live for the first time. They chose one of the competitors to front the band (Dilana). Unfortunately, Supernova is a band composed of has-beens that have lost all their innovation. It would be beneficial for most of these competitors to go off on their own and start their own band (do you hear me Zayira?). Sure, Tommy Lee and Jason Newstead carry some heavy rockstar credibility, but what have they done for us lately?

The performance by Dilana was, as always, impeccable. She is truly the only singer with the pipes and the stage presence to front this band(as well as the age to mesh well with this group of semi-geriatrics). If these guys know what's best for them, they'll kick off all the rest of the chumps and sign this chick now.

The song Supernova played was pretty stupid. Someone who shall remain nameless referred to it as "white-trash, muscle-car" music. Unfortunately, this is the age of the hybrid, folks. Pop Hard Rock should be left to angst-ridden teeny boppers, not a bunch of guys trying to make a comeback.

In all honesty, I can't recommend this show to anyone. It's an American Idol rip-off trying to have teeth but ending up displaying nothing but a cheesy grin.
