Did they go on tour?<BR/><BR/>I agree that it doesn't seem likely that Supernova will get much farther than one album, and I get the impression that it's pretty much all been written and all they're looking for is a singer to perform the vocals. <BR/><BR/>Were any of those guys even the major songwriters of their bands? Who wrote these songs? Is it an album written by a bunch of Ringo-level songwriters who mainly just played instruments on material written by their more songwritingly talented bandmates twenty years ago? Maybe that guy is right about Dilana.<BR/><BR/>It could be that the only thing the contestants will get out of this is the experience and exposure that will get them an opportunity for a real career.<BR/><BR/>These people do kick major butt over the AI people, and the songs are so much better, that it is worthwhile to watch the show.Lord Floppingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946455894230825118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21464366.post-1155743374833790912006-08-16T10:49:00.000-05:002006-08-16T10:49:00.000-05:00I like your comments MG and Billy.Andy,I like this...I like your comments MG and Billy.<BR/><BR/>Andy,<BR/>I like this because it is people with actual talent as opposed to the no talent ass clowns from American Idol. To be perfectly honest about this show, I really liked last year because they were auditioning for a band that actually will be around for a while: INXS. This is for a colaboration of musicians from badass rock bands from the 80s (Metallica, Guns N' Roses, and Motley Crue) and if they couldn't find a lead singer with all their connections, what's the chance of them lasting past one album?Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136772786084220163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21464366.post-1155741238640328432006-08-16T10:13:00.000-05:002006-08-16T10:13:00.000-05:00Obviously I'm in the minority here.

Who finds this entertaining? They're bad. Incredibly bad. Lame ass so-called "artists" singing lame remakes of bad songs in front of aging has-beens who wouldn't know what was hip anymore if it bit them on the ass. Sersly. Why watch this? I'd rather stick needles in my eyes!AndyT13https://www.blogger.com/profile/04550895881104047231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21464366.post-1155740530955466792006-08-16T10:02:00.000-05:002006-08-16T10:02:00.000-05:00Agreeing with MG, last nights show didn't do much ...Agreeing with MG, last nights show didn't do much for me at all.<BR/><BR/>Typically we really get into it and have fun critiquing the performances but last night no one stood out.<BR/><BR/>It was Zayra's least sucky performance to date, actually the first time I appreciated her.<BR/><BR/>I think Magni did well and even though they liked Dilana's I wasn't all that impressed. <BR/><BR/>Tonights encore is a toss up.Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199467679327583302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21464366.post-1155739874386292172006-08-16T09:51:00.000-05:002006-08-16T09:51:00.000-05:00I didn't notice, but do remember thinking, "wow, s...I didn't notice, but do remember thinking, "wow, she's more covered than usual"...<BR/><BR/>I just felt so/so about all the performances last night, nothing stood out and nothing was terrible, guess it'll be a week to send home someone they just don't want in the band.MGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009071290156687754noreply@blogger.com
