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

TEARS ARE NOT ENOUGH
(Recap by Tammy)
Despite the fact that she made the ex-Metallica bassist cry tonight, Storm Large was eliminated on Rock Star: Supernova, and Dilana somehow manages to squeak through yet another week.
To start the show, Lukas Rossi and Toby Rand enthuse over how it felt to play their original songs in front of an international audience. Lukas thought it was amazing, as he is used to 'playing in front of empty beer bottles and ashtrays', while a heavily guyliner'ed Toby attributes his newfound comfort onstage to the power of EVS,. Boy is determined to make this catchphrase take off! He manages to fit it into nearly every reply!
Magni is awarded the task of performing the Supernova song, the pop-ish 'It's All Love'. He surprisingly picks up a guitar to play with them, although he tosses it midway (to the arms of an awaiting stagehand, not to the ground, a la Ryan Star) and tries to sing with the Supernovians, who are doing their best to ignore him up there. That doesn't bode well. As for the song, it's a bit bland and forgettable, though not overly offensive. (I would like to know what died and crawled up Gilby Clarke's butt. Seriously! He was concentrating so much on his average guitar-playing when Magni came up to him, trying to engage him in the performance, and Gilby couldn't even be bothered to turn around. How is this man in a super-group? - Liza)
Prior to awarding the encore, Gilby announces that Dave Navarro's band, The Panic Channel, will be joining Supernova on their tour, which, combined with the fact that several contestants from this season are also scheduled to open for the band, starts to make this tour seem a bit American Idol. Are they sponsored by Pop Tarts too? (What it says to me is that they know that Supernova by themselves can't hold an audience long enough for a full concert because their songs suck! -Liza) But I digress. The prize of a Hondamobile is attached to the encore this week, which could also be looked upon as the consolation prize for the potential runner-up. Toby doesn't seem to look at it that way, however, and excitedly leaps to the stage, dedicating the performance to fellow departed Aussie Steve Irwin (sniff). It's another fun performance, though performed in nearly the exact same manner as last night.
Despite receiving the encore, Toby ended up in the bottom three at some point last night. As did all the other rockers. First to hit the official bottom three is Storm, who chooses to sing the Pink Floyd classic 'Wish You Were Here'. Dedicated to her mother, it's an emotional performance for Storm, who brings not only herself, but Jason Newsted to tears. (sniffle. And me too. -Liza)
Dilana's fans, seemingly not appreciating the 'screw you guys' song written for them in the clinic with Gilby, left her high and dry again this week, as she also ends up in the bottom. She chooses to sing Cheap Trick's 'I Want You To Want Me', which she decides is a 'punk' song. The performance is more country hoe-down than punk, however, and I keep waiting for Sasha or Jim to break out in a fiddle solo mid-song. (I thought Dilana was trying to do it Zayra-style but failed pretty miserably. Dilana's timing was all kinds of off. La Gata Loca would have killed this song! -Liza)
Brooke next chooses to use her patented fake-out skills on Magni, who mock-collapses after hearing he's safe and has made it to the finale, leaving an anxious looking Toby and Lukas. To the surprise of many, Lukas' winning streak has ended, and he has to sing for his survival. He chooses (in a brilliant move) to sing his original 'Headspin' again, and performs it just as well (if not better) than the previous night.
A nervous three gather on the main stage. Storm and Dilana are told that their frequent trips to the bottom on elimination night aren't a good sign. Lukas gets his head messed with, as Gilby tells him ominously that tonight is his night...before sending him back to join Magni and Toby. A distraught Tommy Lee forces Jason to do the dirty work this week, and Storm is sent packing, but not before Supernova lauds her abilities, and Dave makes his usual promises to play on the album of yet another ejectee. (I don't get it. Dave, Jason and Tommy all want to play on Storm's album, but they don't want her to be in the finale. Huh?! I guess Gilby has more pull than we thought? Why, I have no idea. To me, he's obviously the weak link of the group. -Liza)
And so the final four become Magni, Dilana, Toby, and Lukas. What surprises await us at the finale? Will Magni's fierce legion of Icelandic fans convince Supernova that he is right for them? Can Dilana get herself back on track and remind the band why she's there in the first place? Will Toby's fun and energetic performances prove to be the clincher in this competition? Or can Lukas' charisma and uniqueness effectively blend with the group of aged rockers?
One more week! One more week!
