SELLING THE DRAMA

Week after week, you could always count on Zayra Alvarez to bring the dramatics to Rock Star: Supernova. But in the Top 10 show, not even a gold lame' catsuit with monster platform stilettos and a huge top hat could top the dramatics from an unexpected source.

Following is the It's Destiny! panel's take on the Rock Star: Supernova Top 10 performance show.

Dilana "Won't Get Fooled Again"
Liza: Loved Dilana's look tonight. She looked stunning. And she
looked totally natural up there playing with Gilby Clarke. Like Dave
Navarro said, it was like seeing a rock show, not an audition.It was a bit
weird to hear her singing with Gilby, though, since her voice is much huskier
than his (haha).
Score: 9.7
Tammy: I think I may have been watching a different show. This
was Dilana's most average and surprisingly ho-hum performance. She looked
very good, but she was outshone by several performers tonight. The song
didn't seem like something that Dilana was comfortable with.
Score: 8.3

Jill Gioia "Mother Mother"
Liza: And on the complete opposite spectrum, Jill comes up with
the worst outfit possible. The half-up, half-down boots made her look about
3 feet tall. Her makeup was an abomination. And her movement on stage is
so bizarre and awkward; at times she looked like she was doing
interpretive dance. The whole thing just came across as desperate.
Score: 5.5
Tammy: I think we know what Avril Lavigne will look like in 15
years. I actually liked her makeup and hair, however. But the hair seemed to
be putting on a show in itself, what with her frequent head tossing. The
jump off the stage was a cool trick, and she seems desperate to win this
band over. She is just so not right for this band, though, and her
vocals suffered as she flailed about the stage.
Score: 7.3

Ryan Star "Paint It Black"
Liza: Performance art? "Interesting" was about the only thing I
could think of immediately after watching it. I don't quite know what to
think, but I do appreciate the unexpected dramatics and uniqueness. I mean, if
I can dig Zayra's dramatics, I certainly can dig Ryan combining that
fabulous voice with the dramatics.
Score: 8.0
Tammy: I thought this was freaking AMAZING. Once I got past the
initial 'WTF is this?' moment, I just thought it was the coolest thing
ever, and Ryan is definitely doing everything he can to not just be 'another
competitor'. This boy wants to be remembered, and he definitely
accomplished that with this performance. The leaps, the makeup, and the
strong vocals thoughout all added up to something spectacular.
Score: 9.8

Storm Large "We Are The Champions"
Liza: This is a HARD song to sing. I know this because I tried
and failed miserably during karaoke. And because I watched J.D. Fortune
crash and burn on this last year. I was getting a bit worried for Storm in
the beginning, but she sang it well. And the part where she harmonized in
the middle was flat-out AWESOME and even got the normally stone-faced Ryan
Star on his feet.
Score: 9.0
Tammy: Storm did well, but I didn't think she knocked it out of
the park. This is a song that calls for theatrics, and since she's been
criticized for doing that while she performed, she kept that aspect to
a minimum. She did an admirable job, but is capable of doing better.
Score: 8.5

Zayra Alvarez "All The Young Dudes"
Liza: Huh. Who let Daphna Dove back into this competition? Zayra
brought out the zany costumes once again and somehow managed to walk in
those crazy stilletos. Bonus points for that, I guess. I thought her
vocals sounded relatively good (emphasis on the relative), and I love that Magni played with her; that
was a nice touch.
Score: 7.4
Tammy: Zayra usually can make up for her weak vocals with her
sass onstage, but tonight she seemed a bit 'off', and wasn't up to the usual
level of cosmic insanity that we're used to seeing. Perhaps the shoes
can be blamed for that. This might be last time we see her particular brand of
crazy on the Rock Star stage, unless alien planets are suddenly
allowed to participate in the voting process.
Score: 6.7

Josh Logan "Interstate Love Song"
Liza: Josh got a big surprise when Tommy decided to join him.
But unfortunately for Josh, it just emphasized his own mellow-ness, and the
sharp contrast was unnerving. It didn't help that he dropped a line,
picked up Phil's head bobbing and Lukas' mush mouth.
Score: 7.0
Tammy: The head bobbing did bug and seemed very out of place
with this song. Josh just wasn't convincing singing 'Interstate Love Song',
and didn't rise to the challenge of having Tommy onstage with him.
Score: 7.4

Magni
"The Dolphins Cry"
Liza: WOW. Accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, Magni
sounded incredible! I think that was the vocal performance of the season. Too
bad his adorable baby had the sound-reducing headphones on. He would have
heard quite the treat.
Score: 9.8
Tammy: The best Magni has been all season! Last week his vocals
were nothing impressive, but this song seemed like a perfect fit for The
Iceman. Wow, indeed!
Score: 9.5

Patrice Pike "Instant Karma"
Liza: Patrice is sporting horrible hair for the second week in a
row, but this kind of music really suits her. She sounded good and looked
very comfortable and natural up there singing this type of song.
Score: 8.4
Tammy: This is the best Patrice has sounded on Rock Star,
aside from 'My Iron Lung'. Choosing to play the guitar seemed like a
poor choice, as it cut down on her showmanship as she performed. And yes,
she really does need some sort of hair intervention.
Score: 8.8

Lukas Rossi "Creep"
Liza: How well did Lukas do? You just needed to see Dilana's
face to find out. Her stone face as the judges gushed said it all. And even
though I like Dilana, I couldn't help but laugh because you just know that she
"helped" Lukas pick that song with the expectation that he would crash
and burn. I fully expected Lukas to nail this song in the face of the
challenge, and he did. The high notes were a bit problematic, and his Peepers
movements still make me laugh (and not in a good way), but the rest of the song was terrific.
Score: 9.7
Tammy: I both got chills and felt lightheaded watching this
performance. Lukas killed this song, and completely erased the memory
of 'Celebrity Skin' away. What a performer! As he staggered across
the stage and hit the money notes, he had the crowd in the palm of his
hand. Winner of this show or not, the boy is already a rockstar.
Score: 9.9

Toby Rand
"Burning Down The House"
Liza: That was a hard act to follow, and Toby looked like an
amateur after Lukas. And then he completely lost it by bringing out the
bullhorn as if J.D.'s mojo would rub off on him. Um, no. And the sirens were just gimmicky. The only part of the whole gimmick I liked was having Zayra
bring it to him like she was presenting a prize on the Price is Right.
Score: 7.0
Tammy: For me, this was Toby's best performance of the season.
For once, he had some personality onstage, and completely sold his song
with his high level of energy and intensity. The bullhorn didn't offend, but he
had to know that anyone who brought that thing out during any performance
this season was going to get the 'JD already did that' card pulled on him.
Silly boy.
Score: 9.4
