Liveblogging The Rock Star: Supernova Finale
Just kidding. This is first time I've even mentioned this show on Stereogum. Tuning in now, though, and as Dave Navarro predicted on his blog yesterday, "Lukas and Dilana have the best shots at winning." We'll find out who the Rock Star is after this commercial break!
I've only watched one full episode of this series, and the contestants were morons...
DAVE NAVARRO: I'm just not seeing anything different. And frankly I'm getting a little bored. Change. It. Up. From. Week. To. Week. Otherwise, you are wasting this opportunity.Yep, she was cut. But not before performing "My Iron Lung." At which point I stopped watching.PATRICE: Do you do a lot of different things onstage when you perform Dave?
DAVE NAVARRO: Uh, yeah. But see the difference is that I have a job and I'm not auditioning.
In the end, the most entertaining thing about this project is that the new band WON'T EVEN BE CALLED SUPERNOVA. That other Supernova actually won their lawsuit, so it's back to the drawing board for Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted and Gilby Clarke. This must mark the first time a band has sold out the Hard Rock in Vegas (12/31) without a lead singer or a name.
UPDATE: Congrats kid! See ya in the bargain bin.

Wasn't Tara Slone a contestant on this show?
She made for a decent Canadian version of Shirley Manson.
Score = 0
She was on the INXS version.
Score = 0
They should have chosen Rob Munk. He would have been the best pick to lead the great band Supernova.
Score = 0
This sad show should be on cable with Howard Stern-type dialogue. Instead of auditioning lead singers, lawsuit loser Supernova, now known as Christian rockers Super Noah, evaluates hot strippers to tour with. And since Brooke Burke is pregnant, she could hand off commentary duties to Tera Patrick. Jerry Springer’s audience could fill in while he’s off dancing with the stars…
Score = 0
i wanted to launch a site called www.youthefuckisgilbyclark.com

That guy in the photo (who I assume is the new lead singer of whatever) recently get beaten within an inch of his life? He certainly looks that way. I for one look forward to this new band, and wish to put their CD right next to the new INXS CD in the trash.
Score = 0
I like the fact a Canadian one but I don't like the fact he is representing my country with a forehead that you could screen drive-in movies on.
Score = 0
When does the Matthew Sweet version of this show come out?
Score = 0
What the hell is that guys problem?
Score = 0
poor schmuck. this will all be over so fast.
Score = 0
Warren - did you spell "won" - one?
WTF?
Score = 0
that guy has a horrible voice, and he had shitty originals. the girl was so much better.
Score = 0
I watched a lot of this season and all I can say is I hate this show. I hate the troll who won. I hate Dave Navarro calling everyone "baby." I hate Tommy Lee hitting on anything with breasts. I hate Gilby Clarke for acting like he was a real member of Guns 'n' Roses. I hate Jason Newsted for participating in this when he is actually a decent musician. I hate Brooke Burke and her awkward pauses.
I'm not even going to get into the other contestants or the fact they not only re-used songs from last season, but re-used songs from this season.
Score = 0
is it just me, or does that guy have a huge fuckin forehead?
Score = 0
When you start criticizing anything about Brooke Burke...you've gone too far. Everything else is totally true though.
For some reason I had a hard time believing Tommy Lee actually listened to any music outside of Motley Crue, some other hair band peers and shitty rap... But then the first episode I saw him singing along with "Piece of My Heart" and I was thrown for a loop, I don't know what to think anymore.
Score = 0
wtf, I did. seriously, wtf. omg I am internet blushing.
But my point remains the same. Or maybe I just secretly meant he is the ONE because he was picked. Oh wait, sorry, that was the other reality show.
Um
Lukas sucks.
Score = 0
I have no idea what these guys are thinking, I cna't stomach watching Lucas move across the stage with thing he calls dancing, and you can't understand more than 3 words when he's singing, it's all mumbles. To sum this all up Lucas Sucks, and i have no interest in seeing this band.
Score = 0
best (paraphrased) quote from the show after one girl got kicked off
"I am so honored to be a part of this. I mean, this has never been done before"
-- from season TWO of rockstar
and yes I watched every damn episode of this. I hate myself.
Score = 0
I only saw the first show and it was obvious ol' Sade head was going to win.
Oh well...
Score = 0
Can someone youtube the My Iron Lung performance?
A song about the redundancy of pop songwriting sung by another redundant pop singer. i love it.
Score = 0
This show taught me so much about music, particularly the imprtance of key and why singing the right melody isn't enough.
Score = 0
you have to find the youtube of dilana (sp?) singing psycho killer. It may be the most horrible performance of a great song ever. The looks of the super* members is priceless.
Score = 0
lukas has been the pre-ordained winner even from the start -- for reasons i would never understand. he is a freaking "rock star" cliche. toby (the one from australia) or magni (from iceland) would've been better choices, but i guess you can't blame the band formerly known as supernova to base their decision on audience votes. however, they should pray those votes will translate to record and tour ticket sales.
Score = 0
I admit I thought this was the best show on tv because literally every moment made you either cringe or throw up in your mouth.
Also, are you allowed to smile when your wearing that eye makeup?
Score = 0
the patrice girl did a halfway decent job On radiohead's "iron lung". The winner Lukas, on the other hand, totally butchered the verve's "bittersweet symphony". It was like my ears were bleeding.
Score = 0
did anyone think the original supernova song they sang at the end, as "for the first time ever the complete band takes the stage" sounded like a really bad Green day song that didn't even make the cut for American Idiot. Its like Billie Joe ran into Tommy at the grocery store down in Malibu and their exchange went something like this"
BJ Armstrong: Hey Tommy, how you doing?
Tommy Lee; Terrible Billie
BJA: Why's that?
TL:Well I'm doing this rockstar gig and we have to pick a singer soon. Only thing is I haven't been able to write the song the band needs for the finale.
BJA: We can never rely on Tre Cool to write anything decent either. Here's what I'll do. I got a song I wrote whilst sitting on the toilet back around when I was writing American Idiot. I ain't using it for the 3 year year anniversary deluxe re-issue. You can totally have it.
TL: Thanks Bro/Dude/Man.
Score = 0
Post script; Brooke Burke I just wanna squeeze your waist

Dilana was robbed. She was the true talent.

that's not a forehead, that's a five-head.
