My birthdate is the same as Simon Cowell's. What's your bloody excuse, eh?

So I was watching the show right, and then suddenly bak kata my friend, out of the blue moon, Marion announced that the voting is now over. I was like.. wtf? I didn’t realize voting was open all week long (not that sent in even a single one). I guess the show is trying to give AF a run for its money by opening the voting line all week, instead of like MI where it is open only for 2 days (and Rockstar just 4 hours). But whatever man… I can’t be surprised that Aliya, Mimi and Annie are all in the bottom 3. All are so forgettable. The only thing that was so mind numbingly annoying was the looping background music. If you missed it, watch out for it this week when they’re about to announce who’s leaving the show.
This week’s ‘challenge’ - Judges Choice and Press Conference Skills.
Suki ~ You Oughta Know (Alanis Morisette)
One of my least favourite Alanis tracks but Suki sung it well. So much better than Farah’s (or was it Nita’s) version from Malaysian Idol 2. Nevermind the fact that she didn’t deviate AT ALL from Alanis’ version, but it was still a great performance. Perhaps for the first time, I’m actually seeing what the huge fuss over Suki is all about. She’s still no Jac, though. 8.5 out of 10
Lokman ~ Generasiku (OAG)
He sounded really shaky in the beginning. That performance was terribly average. But that doesn’t deter the fact that I personally love the tone of his voice. He was flat out of breath by the end of his performance. I blame the judges’ choice. Ooh, and I just remembered how good Lokman sound singing English songs while watching the post-show diary. Biasalah, orang JB katakan. Muahahah 5.5 out og 10
Azfar ~ Manis (Zainal Abidin)
It was a good performance except for the fact that he keep reiterating his lenggoks and warblings every 15 seconds. That was super annoying in my opinion. If he had toned it down, it would’ve been so much better. 6 out of 10
Zai ~ I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing (Aerosmith)
I was quite surprised to hear that the first half of the song sounded a bit Melayu-ish. I dunno. Her performance left me with many different thought, some good, but mostly bad. Just singing the higher notes doesn’t make a performance all that, but apparently not many people share my feelings on this as can be seen from the audience’s reactions to her performance. 6.5 out of 10.
Dayang ~ Survivor (Destiny’s Child)
Wow. I’m truly impressed. That was really good. Regardless the fact that she’s an established artist or not, but that was superb. She can be mistaken for the real Beyonce (if not for her height and her clothes). I’m not a fan of Dayang, nor have I ever been verklempt over any of her live performances, but that was HOT! Brilliant. Loved it. 10 out of 10.
Ameen ~ Hatiku Luka Lagi (Black Dog Bone)
There’s no point in me beating behind the bush. I just don’t like his voice. There’s just too many Anuar Zain’s floating around in the industry today. 4 out of 10.
Aliya ~ Tentang Dia (Melly Goestow)
I’m just impressed that she didn’t have a single pitching problem. So why was’t I exactly over the moon with her performance? Again, I think it goes back to the song choice. Sure it’s a new song, but it still sounds old, Syafinaz. 6 out of 10
Farah ~ Total Eclipse Of The Heart (Bonnie Tyler)
Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku Astaghfirullahalazimmmmm.. sapa la yg jadi penyanyi background tu. Gila sengau. Org sengau kalau dgr pun mesti tergelak agaknya. Anyway, that was a thousand fold better than last week. I guess the only problem that I have with Farah is no matter how good she sounds, it always seem like she’s struggling with the song. And she always tend to oversing the final note. Yuck. 7 out of 10.
Faizal ~ With A Little Help From My Friends (The Beatles)
Superb. Excellent voice control. Excellent stage presence. Awesome. There’s nothing more to say. 9 out of 10
Alif ~ Mama Tolong Percaya (Exist)
I loathe this song. That said, it was as weak as Lokman’s performace, but I prefer Lokman’s voice over his. 5 out of 10.
In my last entry I mentioned that I was practising Stone Temple Pilot’s Plush? Well, it’s only because yesterday I got a call from ThePowersThatBe and told me I was in the running for the Rockstar Competition and told me the DJ at Mix.fm will call me today between 10am and 1pm for the knockout round. I had no idea what the competition will be.. trivia? singing? Anyway, I was ready for both. What I wasn’t ready was for an air guitar competition. Ohmagahd.. most embarassing moment ever.
DJ : Hi Izad, this is Non from Mix.fm
Izad : Hi Non!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!! (over enthusaisticly)
DJ : So I heard you’re a huge Rockstar fan
Izad : You bet. I took the day off from work yesterday just to watch the show live.
DJ : Great. That shows how much of a huge fan you are of the show
Izad : I just hope my boss didn’t hear what I just said earlier
DJ :
Anyway, we already spoke to the other contestant, and I hope you can top his performance.
Izad : What do I need to do, Non?
DJ : You’re gonna have to put your heart and soul and give all that you have into an air-guitar performance.
Izad : Air guitar performance?
DJ : Yep. Think you can do it?
Izad : ![]()
DJ : Hello?
Izad :
umm… okay. But I gotta apologize in advance. I SUCK at air guitars.
DJ : Well let’s just leave it for me to decide.
Izad : Ooookay. I’ll try Smooth from Santana (Smooth.. how ironic.. it wasn’t smooth at all)
Izad : *screeching noises that can only be best described as a bastard spawn of a gremlin and a mangy cat drowning in a dryer’s spin cycle*
Izad : ![]()
DJ : ![]()
Izad : Okay, that’s all I got.
DJ : Hey, that’s not bad (LIAR!), but I think I’m gonna give the other guy the chance to go to the next round, cause he had everything.. he had air drums and percussions too.. the works! But seriously, nice try.
Izad :
Okay sure
DJ : So who are you rooting for?
Izad : Dilana, of course. That girl can do no wrong. I LOVE her.
DJ : You want me to send a marriage proposal to her on your behalf?
Izad : Would you? But I think she’s just gonna eat me for breakfast.
DJ : You know, I think deep down inside, you’d enjoy that. ![]()
Izad :
![]()
DJ : Alright man, thanks for calling in to participate. Better luck next time.
Izad : Thanks, Non. Later!
*hangs up phone*
Izad : (to self) there goes my dreams [/poopert]
![]()
I still think I could’ve kicked some ass if it was a singing competition.
Oh well.
ohmigod. I may finally have to put my foot where my mouth is. I can’t elaborate much on that right now, but suffice to say that I’m currently practising Stone Temple Pilot’s song Plush. Anyway, just a short recap since I can’t be arsed to load the pictures from MSN’s website which just takes fucking ages to load.
Lukas ~ Bitter Sweet Symphony
The only good thing about Lukas’ performance was that they stuck to the original symphony. It was one of Lukas’ better performances. I still don’t sense much melody in his voice despite his rasps and shrieks. A 6 out of 10
Zayra ~ Call Me
She is definitely this season’s Vote For The Worst candidate. Out of breath, out of tune and almost out of clothes too. Let’s just hope she gets out of this competition soon. A 2 out of 10
Dana ~ About A Girl
Going accoustic wa a nice touch. Reminds most of us of Kobain’s unplugged version. She didn’t stray too far from Nirvana’s version, which was wise, but she still managed to sound really good. Her voice is amazing. A 7.5 out of 10
Patrice ~ Remedy
Patrice has a distinctive voice. She sounded really good with that song. I can’t really fault her for anything but there was something missing from the performance and I just couldn’t put my finger on it. A 6.5 out of 10.
Toby ~ White Wedding
The song was a little low key for me, and quite frankly Toby didn’t do anything much to make that a memorable performance. Sure he still sounds good, but if this dude doesn’t pick it up soon, I may turn a complete 180 on him. A 7 out of 10.
Magni ~ Heroes
It was at least 10 times better than Will’s version from last year (which became his swan song). But his performance pales in comparison to his last. Like Patrice, there was something major missing from his performance. A 5 out of 10.
Ryan ~ I Alone
That might possibly be his best performance so far. But he’s still just a filler for this competition. And I personally hate his perpetual angst-ridden expressions. A 6 out of 10.
Jill ~ Brown Sugar
Gilby played the lead guitar on this one. Personally I don’t like Jill cause she’s such a major drama queen beyotch. But I love her voice. Her performance was energetic and rocking. Good job. A 7 out of 10.
Phil ~ One Headlight
I love love love this song. Phil didn’t do it justice, not to my surprise. He still seems to have that limbless, spinelesss, head-bobbing thing going on for him that I absolutely loathe to the max. Nah.. I’d rather see him go first than Zayra - at least we can laugh at that delusional bitch. A 2 out of 10.
Dilana ~ Time After Time
See.. that dumbass Nadia Turner should’ve taken points from Dilana if she wanted to do something different with this song. ROFLMAO at Dilana’s outfit. Outrageous as usual. It was certainly different and if the band ever needs a slow song to play, this song was it. Who says Dilana doesn’t have the vocal range? Bitch please. I have to be biased again and give her top marks. An 8.5 out of 10.
Josh ~ No Rain
One thing I love about Josh is that he keeps singing songs that are so suited to his style. I love that song and I love his performance, but I have to take into consideration that this is a competition to look for the leas singer for Supernova. I truly do wish him a successful solo career outside this competition. He is so not suited for this band. A 7 out of 10.
Storm ~ Anything Anything
That was explosive. The thing she does with her eyes are mesmerizing. I seriously think she could give Dilana a run for the title. I can’t believe she looks so young for her age. The head-dive into the crowd at the end was the icing on the cake. Fucking superb. Love love love Storm! An 8.5 out of 10.
1. Dilana ~ An 8.5 out of 10
2. Storm ~ An 8.5 out of 10.
3. Dana ~ A 7.5 out of 10
4. Jill ~ A 7 out of 10.
5. Josh ~ A 7 out of 10.
6. Toby ~ A 7 out of 10
7. Patrice ~ A 6.5 out of 10
8. Lukas ~ A 6 out of 10
9. Ryan ~ A 6 out of 10.
10. Magni ~ A 5 out of 10.
11. Zayra ~ A 2 out of 10
12. Phil ~ A 2 out of 10
I have to say that I am truly intrigued by the notion that you can actually vote someone OUT of the competition. Is it the first of its kind? This is the the actual REAL Vote For The Worst dealio, people!!! But as tempting as the idea sounds, I told myself I’m not gonna waste a single cent on any reality shows this year (although admittedly, I had actually sent in a single vote for Zai to get in the show two weeks ago). And their concept of voting people to keep IN the competition actually works the same as the exemption from The Apprentice (the new one starts on Malaysian TV this Sunday, and as much as I loved the drama in Apprentice 5 I’m not gonna rewatch the season and will be tuning to HBO’s Entourage instead) whereby the contestant with the highest IN votes this week, wins immunity next week and cannot be voted out.
The first actual performances starts off this week. The contestants are told to sing a choice of song that they would want as their first commercial single. Contestants are also asked what they would do if they won the money. And as our guest judge, Ahmad Izham, mentioned this is actually the first local singing reality show to ever give a CASH prize money of 1 million ringgit. (The only other show that I could think of was More’s Jutaria and we all knew the hell that broke loose when that guy won the money). Anyway, all my comments were written during the performances (as it always have been) so I’m a little surprised as to how some of my comments were echoed by the judges).
And just for the record (again), I would like to say that I am currently living with the most racist and homophobic asshole on the planet who can’t shut his yap when the show is on. What I wouldn’t give to shove something not very nice is his mouth. Goddamn, I just can’t wait to move to my own place next year. That just won’t come soon enough.



Alif ~ Pria Terhebat
Wants to win the million dollars to go to Berkeley and study music (GREAT!) and open a music academy for the disabled (how freakin pseudo noble and naive).. I was totally unimpressed with his performance and I thought he sounded way much better in his previous performances. It was actually really bad and could be due to the jitters from being the first one to perform. A 3.5 out of 10
Zai ~ Killing Me Softly
Wants to win the million dollars so that she can hire a personal trainer and lose weight (she lost some R.E.S.P.E.C.T points from me for that, don’t ask me why.. basically says how she is not all that okay with the current image that she’s portraying despite what she’s trying to fool us into believing how she’s all comfortable and couldn’t care less and all that crap. If you’re big boned, you’re big boned. I mean, she’s out to prove that Malaysians shouldn’t be so shallow when it comes to appearances, and what she wants when she wins the money? A total image makeover. I just don’t get the contradiction. Unless of course, if it’s because of some real health issues. Oh who cares.) and get quality songwriters to work on her album. Undoubtedly one of the best singers in the competition. Her intro was a bit out of tempo but R&B is definitely her genre. It was kinda awesome. A 7.5 out of 10.
Azfar ~ Salsabilla
Wants to win the million dollars so that he can use it for his album, promotions and have a tv show (wtf?). Seriously, is this guy somehow related to Azalina Osman? His voice is pretty good although I’m not too fond of this song at all. He is probably just a bit better than Saiful from the first Malaysian Idol (and much less campy) but look where he is now. A 6 out of 10.



Anny ~ Biarlah Rahsia
Wants the million to work on her album, send her parents for Haj and savings for the future (pretty wise). There’s a reason why Sairah was not included in the competition. We do not need anotehr Siti in the industry. Sure her voice is good and she carries the Siti song well but there’s just nothing about the performance (or even herself, mind you) that really stands out. A 5 out of 10.
Suki ~ Underneath Your Clothes
Wants the million to work on an outstanding album, turn that into a hit and multiply her money and possibly open up an institute (pretty smart about multiplying her money). Okay, I’ll say this. She’s good but overrated. She IS good but far from perfect and I’m still not seeing what special quality that Paul sees in her. I loved her choice of song, by the way. A 7 out of 10.
Farah ~ Baby One More Time
I missed her intro so I don’t really know (nor do I care) what she plans to do with the money. It was also most definitely the worst Farah performance I’ve ever seen. She’s trying so hard to shed that bubble gum princess image of hers and it just doesn’t work. Bad move. And I was actually secretly rooting for her before this. And just FYI, this stupid fucking Baby One More Time rendition is getting so old. Hello. Travis did it six goddamn years ago and it’s really nothing new. A 2 out of 10



Mimi ~ Fantasia Bulan Madu
Wants the million to help her family, work on her career as a singer by coming up with quality songs by overseas composers (apparently there’s something wrong with local talent). Judges, if you want to see reinterpretation, this was it. I wasn’t a fan of hers especially after her choice of a fucking Ashlee Simpson some weeks ago, but I thought she did pretty good. And as for this being her first single, I could totally see a collaboration between herself and the band Search that would generate buzz. A 7 out of 10.
Faizal ~ I Don’t Wanna Be
Wants to use the million to study music and gives something back to the music industry. He didn’t really leave much of an impression on me earlier but dude, that was awesome. (The song also reminds me of Elliot.. goddamn you Taylor Hicks) I’m sorry but there is nothing I don’t like about that performance. Well except maybe for the lesbian hair. An 8.5 out of 10.
Dayang ~ Aku Cinta Padamu
Wants the money for her album and somehow spread her wings internationally. This was actually a performance that had me rolling my eyes for real. As good as it was, it felt more clubbish than anything. I’ve decided to exclude her from my ratings and rankings. It just doesn’t feel right to put her up against the other amateurs.



Aliya ~ Menghitung Hari
Wants the million to create her dream album, get local and regional composers, get a professional image and send her parents for Haj. It was actually pretty pleasant and I didn’t think she fucked it up that much. I thought it was a nice song choice that suits her style and personality. A 5.5 out of 10
Ameen ~ More Than Words
Wants the million, turn that into 10 million, get professional help for local and international market, and sing a duet with Usher. But I hate this fucking song. Fuck this shit of a song that have been bludgeoned to death by so many singers destroying its original beauty, and this guy is no exclusion. I cannot forgive him for this and he will suffer for picking this song. And bitch please, perlu ke tayang dada takde bulu tu. Aiyerr.. A 2 out of 10.
Lokman ~ Kau Bukan Kekasih
Didn’t get what he was gonna use the million ringgit for. Despite his anak ikan factor, I truly like the tone of his voice. Luv luv luv. Very nice and truly pleasant for the ears. Not sure how to describe it. His voice is laidback and doesn’t really WOW you, know what I mean? But I love it. I can actually see myself enjoying listening to his song on the radio. And the fact that he’s from JB just makes me want to love him more. A 7.5 out of 10.
IN Faizal ~ 8.5 out of 10
Lokman ~ 7.5 out of 10
Zai ~ 7.5 out of 10
Mimi ~ 7 out of 10
Suki ~ 7 out of 10
Azfar ~ 6 out of 10
Aliya ~ 5.5 out of 10
Anny ~ 5 out of 10
Alif ~ 3.5 out of 10
Ameen ~ 2 out of 10
OUT Farah ~ 2 out fo 10

Before I start, a little gem I read in the newspaper today :
“IF you find the current crop of locally made, SMS-based talent shows a little fallow, it might be a good time to check out Akademi Fantasia 4 (AF4). Helmed by real vocal talents, in which some of them do not possess photogenic looks, which is the prerequisite for most of today’s successful pop idol shows, AF4 sees 12 quality contestants”
ROFLMAOASTC! At first I thought it was a sarcastic remark, but as I read and read and read, I realized it wasn’t. Oh well to each his own. Let’s get started on this week’s Rockstar : Supernova show… the only really good reality show on TV until The Amazing Race starts.


Patrice ~ Helter Skelter
That certainly was worth fighting for (and I wrote this down before Tommy Lee’s comments). Patrice was in control of the song and it was her best performance so far. I never really took notice of her but that was pretty impressive and a good way to start the show. A 7 out of 10.
Josh ~ Come As You Are
I have been a big fan of Josh but what he did was kinda asshole-ish even for my standard. And if you’re gonna be so hellbent about taking a Nirvana song and not doing anything special with it, why the fuck bother? His performance was so goddamn boring. I like his voice, but it is pretty clear that this is not Josh’s genre. A 2.5 out of 10


Storm ~ Just What I Wanted
I just realised she actually reminds me of Lindsay Lohan. Eww. Her voice was drowned by the music. Nope. There was nothing special about that performance at all. I still think she’s super hot though. Six letters.. G.O.O.G.L.E. A 5.5 out of 10.
Lukas ~ Let’s Spend The Night Together
Personally, I didn’t think his arrangement was all that bad. The band did all the work for him though. I’m just not getting his vocals, and I personally just don’t like him despite it being obvious that he is one of the Chosen Ones *gag* A 4 out of 10.


Jill ~ All Right Now
That was a fun song. I’m not sure what the fuss was that all about.. fighting over the song choices. This was clearly a much better song to get the audience to rock to. Regardless, I still think Jill sounded good. A 7.5 out of 10
Ryan ~ Fortunate Son
Why does he seen so angry and intense everytime he’s performing (much like the American Egghead fucker too). I can’t help but feel he’s just up there singing for himself and making zero connection with the audience. What’s that about? It was a tad better than last week. And I wished I didn’t say anything, cause he later then actually smiled for the camera, and it was just fucking creepy. I swear for a split second, he looked like Salman Rushdie’s twin brother. A 4.5 out of 10.


Phil ~ Little Rabbit
I have mixed feelings over this performance. I loved most of it but he did sound a bit whiny in the early parts of the song. Definitely his best to date. I didn’t think he could recover from his previous performances, but he did. A 7 out of 10.
Dana ~ It’s My Life
God, such a gross over played song, but it didn’t make me like her less. She was pretty weak in the chorus though but I blame it on the song. It’s so fucking BLEH. Not her best, but still not as bad as some others so far. A 5.5 out of 10


Toby ~ Runaway Train
What the holy fuck happened? I thought this dude can go no wrong. Apparently he did. He knows he fucked up. The arrangement was shit, and.. I don’t know. His voice was all wrong this time. Fuck. I’m extremely disappointed. A 4 out of 10
Magni ~ Plush
Aaaiiiiieeeeeeeeee!!!!! Most favourite song from the 90s ever. If there was anything good that came out in the 1990s, it’s the Stone Temple Fucking Pilots. Yay! Magni didn’t absolutely kill this song, so he’s gonna get extra pounts than he really deserves from me just for picking this song. An outrageously generous 8.5 out of 10.


Zayra ~ Everybody Hurts
I was totally waiting for a trainwreck, It didn’t exactly happen but I wasn’t extremely disappointed. She sounded more like Bjork more than anything and I almost felt sick to the stomach. But not quite. I think bitch just saved herself this week. A 4.5 out of 10.
Jenny ~ Drive
When she came on stage, I was like.. who? She is so totally forgettable. I’m sorry but that just doesn’t work for me. It was too Sheryl Crowish (with a thousand apologies to Sheryl Crow cause I absolutely love her stuff) but that just sucked for me. A 4 out of 10.

Dilana ~ Zombie
Megayuck! Another extremely overplayed song which drove me insane back in the days. But how can you not love that performance? I am just extremely amazed by this woman. Love, love and love is all I have for her. For fucks sake, Supernova, please just recruit her already. A 9.5 out of 10.
Final Rankings :
1. Dilana ~ A 9.5 out of 10.
2. Magni ~ An 8.5 out of 10.
3. Jill ~ A 7.5 out of 10
4. Phil ~ A 7 out of 10.
5. Patrice ~ A 7 out of 10.

12. Jenny ~ A 4 out of 10.
13. Josh ~ A 2.5 out of 10
A follow-up on the last list. More mind-numbing, outrageous and hilarious phrases that people actually use on search engines (that somehow returns a link to my site)
Nothing still beats “Alicia Keyes Vagina Hair” from last month though.

Before I start, a little rant. There are so many reasons why I love my new Fontopia Sony earphones. First of all, it’s because I threw away the shitty earphone that came with the iPods. They are so fucking useless and are also a magnet for snatch thieves with their ‘white’ status symbol that everyone recognizes. Secondly, the Fontopia earphones have these sort of silicone parts that creates a small vacuum-like environment that blocks out most of the external noise.
If it wasn’t for this, I’d be stuck in the fucking McDonald’s Beef Foldover-covered LRT carriage listening to their loud annoying advertisement everytime the train stops at a station (”Get on a bus to the McDonald’s in Bangsar”,”The McDonalds in Amcorp Mall is only 10 minutes walk away, but faster if you run”,”Only 2 stops to go to get the new, delicious Beef Foldover” bla bla bla). The only other thing more annoying than this is the TV3-sponsored LRT carriage. Seriously, if I didn’t have my earphone plugged in, I wouldn’t hesitate to get off the train and wait for the next McDonald’s/TV3 ad-free carriage. Fuck you McDonalds and TV3. Assholes.
Now let’s get started with this week’s show.

Magni ~ My Generation
That was a great rocking song, but if anything, it only affirmed my thoughts on him from last week. He shouts. I think he’s better off back in Iceland. A 5 out of 10
Jenny ~ Tainted Love
Well, that was certainly different. The new arrangement was interesting. Well done. A 5.5 out of 10


Jill ~ Violet
Am I the only one who thinks she looks more like Christina/Britney during the MTV Awards than Courtney Love? It was energetic but I wasn’t crazy about it. She could’ve done so much better. The theatrics backfired. A 5 out of 10
Zayra ~ You Really Got Me
OMG WTF bitch? Sengau-city here we come. Let me spell it out for you, woman. Y.O.U. S.U.C.K. I refuse to believe the Asian contestants are any shittier than this. Fuck you, bitch, for taking that chance away from people who are more deserving. And she doesn’t even ‘know’ this song in the first place. Undeserving bitch. A 1/2 out of 10.
Chris ~ (what did he sing again?)
What the fuck is happening? Things are getting worse by the minute (not really, nothing tops the shit that was Zayra’s so-called performance). But that was baaaaad. I might be forced to turn off my television soon. A 4 out of 10.


Dilana ~ Ring Of Fire
LMAO at the Elvira outfit. I am just so scared that she will be this season’s Jordis, but man, she maintained her standards. That was hot. She’s got great vocals and nice voice control. Not as hot as last week, but it was still really good. An 8 out of 10.
Josh ~ With Arms Wide Open
A Creed song? Ewww.. that’s almost as bad as picking a Coldplay or a Nickelback song. Just eww. I love Josh though, but this competition, or this band in particular, is not for him. And if you disagree, stop watching this show now, and just continue to tune in to the shitfest that is on Astro Ria every Saturday night. A 7.5 out of 10
Phil ~ (Can’t remember the song)
Cripes. What the hell, man. The stage presence was truly weird. I like the song but I felt all slimy after watching that performance. And LOL at Newstead’s comments about the spineless performance. Dude, you are just not good. A 2 out of 10.

Storm ~ Surrender
That was good. Loved it. Much better than last week’s performance, but not a WHOLE lot. I dunno, I guess her voice is just not that distinct enough for me. But the ending was hot. A 7 out of 10.
Patrice ~ Heart Shaped Box
Unless you can truly rock a Nirvana song, don’t even start to think of attempting. It was alright but at the end of it all, I was like.. why bloody bother? A 5 out of 10.


Lukas ~ Don’t Panic
Coldplay? Are you fucking kidding me? Are you seriously fucking kidding me? I hope the Coldplay Curse continues from last week after Matt’s departure, but even this shit of a song, from a shit of a singer don’t deserve to be out of the competition before the abomination that is Zayra. A 2 out of 10.
Ryan ~ Jumping Jack Flash
A definite improvement over last week. But I still can’t see this attention-whoring douche anywhere near fronting Supernova. Never gonna happen. I will personally cut my balls off and replace them with my Fontopia headphones, should this ever happen. Let’s face it, he’s just a pretty boy (and probably will become the second coming of the American Egghead Daughtry) A 4.5 out of 10
Dana ~ Born To Be Wild
Rocking song, rocking performance. She’s hot and I loved it. A 7.5 out of 10

Toby ~ Somebody Told Me
Squuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaalllllllllll. WOOHOO! Hot hot hot. That was so worth waiting for. Yay for the Australian rocker! Major awesomeness, that’s all I can say. A 9 out of 10.
Final Rankings

Storm Large ~ Pinball Wizard
She’s got the name, she’s got the image, she’s got the attitude. Unfortunately, she sounded really flat, and I’m not even sure it’s because of the song. 5.5 out of 10
Ryan Star ~ Iris
Bla bla bla.. why do New Yorkers have to have so many goddamn life philosophies. I actually loved his rendition during the ‘diaries’ but his live performance was god awful (but still, about a million times worse than the Egghead from American Idol). A pathetic 2 out of 10.
Toby Rand ~ Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door
Wow. That was hot! Strong vocals and I absolutely love his take on this classic. Excellent. Easily one of the best of the night. A 9 out of 10.



Patrice Pike ~ Somebody To Love
Wasn’t really expecting much from her, but she’s got a really solid voice. Good job. Very nice. A 7 out of 10.
Magdi ~ Satisfaction
It was good to hear his mellow side as well as his hard edge, but most of the time it seems like he was simply shrieking. A 6.5 out of 10.
Zayra Alvarez ~ Bring Me To Life
Pretty ballsy to take on an Evanescence song, but other than that, I don’t even know where to begin. A 4 out of 10.



Jenny Galt ~ How You Remind Me
You must be the laziest fuck on the face of the planet, to make it into the world’s biggest audition and not bother to even get up for the song selection. Bitch I can’t even forgive her for that. Doesn’t help that her voice is wafer thin. And it especially doesn’t help that she chose a fucking Nickelback song. A 3 out of 10.
Josh Logan ~ She Talks To Angels
Ohmagahd country twang country twand. Me likey. <3. Heart. Orgasm. LOve. That was a good, clean performance but I don't know if that's where Supernova is heading. (I wrote that before his excellent response to Newsted's question - "I will bring my forte to you guys"). An 8.5 out of 10.
Matt Hoffer ~ Yellow
Yellow? YELLOW?!!! DIE, ASSHOLE, DIE! If this fucking Coldplay track was your first choice, burn in hell. 2.5 out of 10.



Dilana ~ Lithium.
Ala…tolong la.. Show macam ni pun nak kena ada fucking sob story ke… Aiyaaaaa….. That said, I just fucking love her voice. Awesome. Wow! Standing still during this god awesome song was just absolute genius! OHMIGOD. I loved it. I totally loved it. A 9 out of 10.
Dana Andrews ~ I’m The Only One
Well that absolutely doesn’t sound like Melissa Etheridge at all, but man, the girl’s got lungs! Easily one of the top girls in this competition. An 8 out of 10.
Phil Ritchie ~ Cult of Personality
His voice was drowned out by the music and a little too many warblings ala Belinda Carlisle. Meh. A 5 out of 10.



Jill Gioia ~ Piece Of My Heart
I like her spunk. She came off a little too hard sometimes (to the point of almost shrieking) but it was good nonetheless. A 7 out of 10
Chris Pierson ~ Roxanne
Difficult song or not, this is undeniably my least favourite police song ever. I just don’t get the love. Nope, I’m unimpressed by the old arrangement, his new arrangement, his performance, everything. A 3.5 out of 10.
Lukas Rossi ~ Rebel Yell.
OMG. He’s like a slimmer version of FatFuck from American Idol 4. He’s muffling his words. He’s not bad but he’s definitely going to be the most overrated singer this season. A 6 out of 10.
