THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

The Final Four put together their last set in their quest to front Supernova, singing one cover and reprising their original song from last week. Who would show he or she is most right for Supernova?

Following is the It's Destiny! panel's take on the Rock Star: Supernova Top 4 performance show.

Toby Rand
"Karma Police"
Tammy: Dipping into Lukas' closet this week, Toby sports aviator sunglasses, a glove on one hand and some heavily applied guyliner. Not sure how much that look works for him. Toby does quite well on his first song tonight and brings some surprisingly good vocals to the song. There are a few moments where he's a bit off, but overall, very good. Have I said 'good' enough times?
Overall score - 9.0
Liza: Toby's voice sounded really good on this song, but I think I preferred his acoustic version that they showed on the reality episode. This version was very good also, but I really liked how it sounded with just Toby and his guitar.
Overall score - 8.7
"Throw It Away"
Tammy: This song is still fun, high energy, and will probably be running through my head for days to come. The addition of Magni on guitar was fantastic, as they played off each other and brought great chemistry to the stage.
Overall score - 9.7
Liza: Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Toby and Magni's chemistry was explosive. I think I squealed when Magni held up the guitar for Toby to play. Can you say super-hot?! I think Toby is making a case for a dual victory with Magni here. Or for a Toby/Magni/House Band supergroup.
Overall score - 9.6

Lukas Rossi
"Fix You"
Tammy: Lukas needs to trim the fauxhawk. It's starting to get a little mulletesque. Tonight he rearranged this Coldplay song and focused on the rock element, which I'm not sure he completely pulled off, as the softer version of the song is so powerful. He really sold the song in the last few bars, however, and brought a believability to the performance which brought chills.
Overall score - 8.8
Liza: I agree. The soft parts in the opening and in the ending were just beautiful, and the harder rock part was a little iffy for me. I don't understand why Lukas has been hiding that great voice all season. He sounded terrific in the beginning and end.
Overall score - 9.0
"Headspin"
Tammy: Performing his original acoustic, Lukas mixes up the arrangement of the song yet again, and the end result is stunning and poignant, and perhaps even more powerful than the rocked out version we saw last week. He is unfailingly interesting to watch on the stage, even with a lone guitar in hand.
Overall score - 9.8
Liza: I got chills from this one. I love the song acoustic like this, and props to Lukas to changing things up the third time he sang the song. Bravo. Obligatory Lukas snark - he looked like a little boy holding daddy's guitar. That thing was huge!
Overall score - 9.7

Dilana
"Roxanne"
Tammy: Dilana's voice sounded beautiful on this song, and outfitted in a dangerously short black dress, is looking the best she ever has. Having the boys come out and join her at the end was a cute addition, though part of me also thought it was a brilliant PR move...'Look! They like me! So it's okay to vote for me again!'.
Overall score - 9.3
Liza: Oh, so this is how 'Roxanne' is supposed to sound, CHRIS! (sorry! couldn't help it!). Dilana just killed this song. This was the best she has ever sounded, and I liked her arrangement. I loved her bringing up the boys to sing backup, and I thought Lukas put some flair into his part. I take issue with Dave's comment that it was smart to have her competitors sing backup. It was just two weeks ago when they panned Storm for having Toby sing backup. Make up your minds, people!
Overall score - 9.6
"Supersoul"
Tammy: Perhaps this song is easier to sell when you're not hopping around on one foot, but I enjoyed this song more the second time around. It's still nowhere as good as the originals brought forth by her competitors, but she did as well as she could with this song. Her between song banter was somewhat humorous, though, as she appears desperate to prove that she's really not 'Angry Dilana'.
Overall score - 8.2
Liza: Agreed on all counts, although I do call shenanigans on her injury. She was stomping around on that leg of hers way too much and moving around too easily for me to think she was really that hurt. Or she's heavily medicated. Heh. But back to her song ... I still think the lyrics are pretty pedestrian, but I do like the melody, and she performed it well.
Overall score - 8.5

Magni
"Hush"
Tammy: During the commercial break prior to Magni's performance, I wondered how the show was going to fill the last fifteen minutes. Then I remembered Magni still hadn't performed. Oops. Sorry, Magni. I guess that does say something about how memorable the guy is. Magni's Deep Purple cover didn't impress me much, vocally. His musicianship is unrivalled, but after this performance, I didn't really see 'next lead singer for Supernova' written in the stars.
Overall score - 8.4
Liza: Crown him right now - the winner of Rock Star: House Band! The chemistry Magni has with these guys is palpable. He and Rafael sound awesome together.
Overall score - 8.9
"When The Time Comes"
Tammy: I like this song, a lot. I was going to argue Tommy Lee's point that the song was forgettable, then thought to myself that perhaps Tommy Lee isn't so far off in his analysis, as the part that I like about the song is the cool guitar riff. I'd be hard-pressed to recite a lyric, except for something about bridges being burned? But I still like this song!
Overall score - 9.3
Liza: I like this song too, and I love Magni. The dude can SING and is talented as hell. Tommy seems to hate him for whatever reason. For him to say that he doesn't remember anything about his song is laughable because the only thing I remember about Supernova's songs is that they suck! (Although Magni did not help his cause when he couldn't remember the name of his own song ... translation issue, definitely). It's not instantly memorable like the first three originals we heard tonight from the delicious Ryan Star, Toby and Lukas, but it was catchy enough for me to be singing along in the chorus, and that's more than I can say for Supernova's hey hey hey ho ho ho song (which is all I can remember from their most memorable track).
Overall score - 9.1

Who Should Win
Tammy: Hmm. Based on tonight's performances, Toby brought the most energy and excitement to the stage. Overall this season, however, Lukas has been more consistent and showed more versatility. Both were strong in their performances with Supernova, but I'd give the edge to Lukas.
Liza: Toby is the best fit for this band musically and personality-wise. Lukas is certainly talented and original, but I think his thing is distinctly different (coughbettercough) than Supernova's thing.

Who Will Win
Tammy: For his writing talents, stage presence, and general uniqueness, I'd say Lukas has it in the bag.
Liza: If the rumors are correct, it's been Lukas all along. If that's a red herring, then I say Toby wins.
