Culturally Preconditioned

So tonight’s the night where the band formerly known as Supernova finally crowns their weiner (make no mistake, that was not a typo). Lukas Rossi won the ultimate gig this season by clinching the title of being the frontman of the band formerly known as Supernova. Congratulations to him? No, I don’t think so. Call me bitter, call me an asshole but I would not so much give an iota to boost his ego by making him think he’s the best out of the bunch. He may be right for the band, but that’s only an insult to the band.

Anyway, this might be a really short recap. The first hour showed a magnificent recap of the season. One of the more interesting bits were the dialogue that the band had with Zayra, asking her if she actually owns any of their records, and her tart response was simply ‘Baby, I was in my diapers when your music came out’. Mmm.. suh-NAP! The recap also highlighted Dilana’s crazy-assed downward spiral (although I really had a laugh out loud moment when they showed her sounding like a dog howling in heat), Lukas’s annoying antics with the other band members and Magni’s family visit.

Recap done and onto the show. Brooke Burke announced the Bottom Two - Magni and Toby who each sang a song, before the Tommyhawk announced it was Magni’s turn to go. When it came down to the Final Three, all were asked to plead their case to the band that was formerly known as Supernova as to why they should win it. Lukas licked some ass and gave credit to the band for not becoming egocentric and ‘become the bad guys’ even though they had the means to do so. Dilana said Lukas is amazing, and Toby is great, but SHE is the One. Sorry honey, but apparently you were indeed the One to prove that reality show winners of late comes from Suckage City. Toby made a joke saying he should win cause he was the tallest.

The three were given a last chance to perform on stage. Lukas sang Bittersweet Symphony. Dilana sang Zombie. Toby sang Somebody Told Me when he should really be singing Throw It Away. But even if he did sing that song (and would’ve brought the house down for the FOURTH time), I had no doubt in my mind that he would be cut from the Final Three, leaving Dilana and Lukas as the Final Two.

Tommy Lee announced that Lukas was the winner. Was it just me or am I just imagining that if Dilana had won, the applause in the crowd would be 100 times much louder? Maybe it’s just me. Dilana seemed upset, so I’m not even sure what Navarro said about playing for her and Gilby offering his writing and producing skills, were sincere. I could really care less at the moment.

In hindsight, I really do think the band formerly known as Supernova made the right choice. Granted that I might be a little bitter over the outcome, I was never a fan of the band’s original material. Given the bubble-gum pop ‘rock’ that they’re playing, and the fucking midget’s inaudible mush mouthed vocals, I honestly do NOT think the band would even get close to rivalling INXS’s success post-Rockstar. Count on it.

As for Toby, I am waiting for him to release his original Throw It Away single. It is a guaranteed hit. Out of the final four, I think he will find the fastest success with this song. And that song is all him, baby. He can even pull it off if he becomes a solo artist.

Magni, I do think he’s currently one of the most famous Icelandic ever. I won’t be surprised if they even inaugarate a Magni Day over there. Will he find similar success outside of Iceland, it’s hard to say. I mean, look at Chris Daughtry, all the broo-ha-ha when he got booted and how he’s going to be bigger than everyone else left in the show (also, please refer to Maroulis, Constantine), but look where he is now today. Without a solid band, these folks will probably find it hard to be a big success (Toby is an exception).

Dilana. My Dilana. I’m sorry the Rising Phoenix story arc didn’t turn out true. Mark Burnett has truly lost his marbles, I guess. As much as I want Dilana to succeed, I’m not keeping my expectations up. It would certainly be easier for her to ‘break through’ to the general listening audience now, but will she be BIG? I’m not holding my hopes up (Bitch please, look at Elliot Yamin.. where is HE know? Poor monkey boy <3 ). I do wish her success though, and I will lend her my support if she actually releases some interesting materials in the future.

And I miss Storm so much after watching the recap show.

Now, onto more interesting stuff. Survivor : Cook Islands starts tomorrow, biznitches! That’s all that matters right now. Woohoo! I can’t wait to go back to my spoiling and speculating days.. finding Mark Burnett’s hidden easter eggs and red herrings throughout this marvelous show. I highly doubt fucking ntv7 will be smart enough to show them again this time but MIRC and TORRENT are your friends. Remember that, people. Interestingly enough, ntv7 actually never finished showing Vanuatu and never showed Palau - of which DVDs I’ve just bought from Amazon - but it feels like they haven’t showed it in ages. Or maybe it’s just because I’ve actually quite watching ntv7 in its entirety since they abruptly ended Vanuatu about a year ago. Dumbass motherfuckers.
