Three more weeks left of Rockstar: Supernova. Someone goes home this week, next week and then we will be down to our final four and that’s it! Everyone left is talented and strong as a vocalist, so it’s going to be an intense couple of weeks full of twists and turns. As it stands, I can pretty much imagine several of the remaining contestants taking this job, but of course, I have my favorites. It’s weird, because even though I have an idea of who I’d like to see win this thing, I’d also like to see it go to a totally unexpected contestant, if only to fulfill some sort of selfish need for dramatic flair. We are taping the show for Tuesday today and from what I understand, the songs that they will be doing are viewer’s choice. I know, they are songs that we have heard before, but there is the added dimension of someone potentially getting a song that they are not comfortable with. Remember, this week, regardless of what happens, half of the cast will be in the bottom three. I guess we will see just how bad Dilana’s comments hurt her in the poles. My prediction? Storm, Ryan and Toby. Disagree? Then VOTE! One thing I will say about Dilana that she has going for her is the fact that people either love her or hate her. The fact that she has THAT profound of an effect on people in my opinion is a strength. Of the two bands I have worked with, both of my lead singers have conjured similar reactions from the public. It’s like they say, better to have them hate you than have them not care one way or the other. (I don’t know why they say that, but they do.) Lukas, kind of gets the same reaction too. Ryan, Storm, Magni and Toby appear to be either loved or just considered, "good but not right for Supernova." I have never read any strong disdain for them on this blog, but I haven’t really read anything about them anywhere else. It’s enough for me to try to keep up with all of the comments here. I must admit, that with each week, I am starting to dig Ryan more and more. I’d like to see him go all the way too. Damn! Even I am flip flopping on this. Lukas, Ryan and Dilana? Top three? Tough to say. I do see Storm as doing well regardless of the outcome as she does have that solo artist vibe. TONIGHT: STORM LARGE. That just looks right on a marquee, as does TOBY RAND. I guess that for me, Lukas, Magni and Dilana feel more like lead singer, band member types. Ryan I can see it working for either way. This is all a bunch of "what ifs" anyway. The one thing I am absolutely certain about is that whatever happens, the five that don’t make it have to get going immediately with their own careers if they are going to let this show give them a leg up. Every once in a while someone will ask me, "Whatever happened to Jordis?" The remaining six should start putting their exit strategy in place now. The public at large (not the die hard fans) tends to forget pretty quickly. As I told Patrice, get going on your own material yesterday! I don’t know if that comment made it into the final show, but I meant it. Remember the outcry for Phil Ritchie? I haven’t heard his name mentioned in a long while. I hope he is cranking it out with his band right now. Somehow, I’m pretty sure we will be hearing from Zayra. She has already become somewhat of a pop culture figure, appearing on Talk Soup, etc. Smart move. She wasted absolutely no time.

I hope we do not have a final four and two are out this week because next week would be too cruel to do it then. I think either Toby or Storm are out this week.
