It's Destiny!'s own Liza and Tammy continue their coverage of Rock Star: Supernova. Following is Liza's take on the this week's results episode.

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
(Recap by Liza)

Supernova sent a clear and very loud message to the remaining contestants - be committed to the band or be sent home. Despite giving what Supernova said was one of his best performances, Phil Ritchie's semantics helped seal his doom, and he became the fourth contestant eliminated from Rock Star: Supernova.

In the recap of Tuesday night's performance show, Gilby Clarke warned the rockers that after hearing Supernova's music, they had no excuses now when it came to song choice. Lukas Rossi "got the message", Toby Rand cranked it up, Dana Andrews toughened up, Ryan Star rocked, and Dilana once again "enchanted everyone." Supernova was disappointed by Phil, Josh Logan, Magni, Zayra Alvarez, Jill Gioia, and Patrice Pike before Storm Large brought it back on track with her performance.

Back to the live stage, Supernova adds comments, giving Storm an A+ for her stage dive. Dave Navarro revisits Patrice's snarky comments to him, and she backpedals, telling him she's a huge fan of his and that he's consistent, which is where her comment was coming from. Gilby asks Zayra when the pop show stops, and she replies by saying that if she's that different, that might be a good thing. Phil mentions how frustrated he is when two-thirds of the songs aren't intense songs. Dave rebuts by saying that both Dana and Dilana had songs that were stripped back yet super-intense in performance and delivery. He wants more presentation and intensity on stage.

And if that wasn't enough, Brooke Burke takes the action back to the mansion for a peek at more drama after the performance show. Jill gets defensive about Gilby's comments about her grinding on him during her performance. Dana tells some of the other rockers that she is learning from them even without them telling her. Yet they proceed to tell her anyway. Ryan tells her that she isn't where she should be at 22, and Dilana says has never seen Dana look like a rocker and thinks she's hearing everyone but not listening to them. Dana thinks no one knows the real her because they're not looking.

First, Gilby address Jill's defensiveness. Jill excuses it as being Italian, and then she discusses the double-standard with men and women in rock and roll. Why can't they show sexuality if the guys do? she asks. Gilby answers that he played with Heart, and Ann Wilson never had to stoop to humping him. He goes on to say that her moves are predictable, he's seen them at the Holiday Inn and that he wants to see something original. Jill continues to argue with him and gets shot down hard-core by the band and Dave.

Dave talks to Dana about how she said she's done being a student. Does that mean she won't listen to Supernova? Not at all, she says. But she's starting to learn more from her fellow rockers when they keep their mouth shut. She feels like she's being completely attacked by everyone.

Before the bottom 3 is announced, Supernova picks Storm for the encore, and she attacks the song with a vengeance, even improving upon her performance from the previous night.

Then Brooke calls out the preliminary bottom 3 - Jill, Josh and Zayra - and the other rockers who also hit the bottom 3 at some point - Phil and Patrice. The first member of the bottom 3 is Patrice, who Dave said was doing the same thing each time. This time, she chooses "My Iron Lung" by Radiohead and gives a super-intense performance that is met by a Jason Newsted standing ovation.

Next to perform in the bottom 3 is Zayra. Gilby practically licks his chops for the opportunity to cut her. She sings "I'm Not An Addict" by K's Choice. She says she is addicted to music, and this song will show how she feels. She sings it beautifully, and it's very real and honest and raw. She gets a standing ovation from Tommy and Jason. And if there's one thing I could say about Zayra is that, good or bad, she makes you feel, and that's a virtue not a lot of these contestants have.

The last member of the bottom 3 is ... NOT Josh. Good fake, Brooke. I bought it. The real final bottom 3 singer is Phil, who bobble-heads his way over to the main stage. Jason warned him yesterday that if the head-bobble is instilled, he'd be worried. And when he hears that Phil is going to do "Smoking Umbrellas" by a band named Failure, Jason notes the irony and hopes it doesn't sink him. Phil brings more of a performance like last week's successful venture, picking up the intensity from Tuesday's show.

Before Tommy Lee brings out the hatchet, Gilby applauds the group for three "killer" performances. He lauds Patrice's performance and sends her back to safety, leaving Zayra and Phil. Gilby says Zayra is original, but they have a hard time imagining her in the band. He tells Phil that was his best performance yet, but Gilby doesn't believe he wants this. Phil slits his own throat by saying that everything he does he wants to be the best at. He doesn't outright say that he wants to be in the band, and Gilby astutely notices that. Wearing a devil-horned red hoodie, Tommy axes Phil because they question his commitment to the band. As the stunned rockers look on, the audience chants Phil's name. Phil thanks the band for the chance and continues to say that he really wanted to win this without actually saying he wanted to be in the band.

The band is certainly sending a message to the rockers. And nothing speaks louder than a surprising cut like this one.
