yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, whoops, I was busy ordering food and I missed Dilana. I'm sure she was great. I still don't understand why anyone likes Jill Gioia. I understand why they got rid of Dana last week, because like I said at the start, they were never going to have her as the lead singer of their band. But I still wish I didn't have to see stinky Jill. Bleh. She seems to have gotten the "stop dressing like a slut" memo, but now she's trying so hard she's losing any sort of control with her voice, and she's just going all over the place.

Ryan Star got lucky last week with REM's "Losing my Religion," but what was he doing in that wigged hoodie this week? What is he, Chris Gaines? In spite of the wardrobe, I liked the modern take on "Paint It Black," and I liked his intensity. It's clear yo me that as the competition progresses, he's gaining confidence, and that's really helping him. It's transforming him!

Oy, "We Are the Champions"? Why not "Killer Queen"? Anyway. I don't think Storm's voice was working it as well as it should have with this song. And then she just sort of crooned and crawled around. Meh. It didn't really stand up that well. And the look in her eyes, her feeling, is still totally fake to me. I don't really know what the motivation for faking is, but I just don't see sincerity in her soul.

Another song where Zayra's accent is showcased more than her singing talent. "All the Young Dudes" is a fairly complicated song to sing live, though, because so much of its appeal is in the backing chorus. It was kind of messy, but I guess she did a decent job.

How is "Interstate Love Song" a soul song? I don't know. But apparently it's back to soul for Josh Logan because he's singing it. Whatever. To me it was another imitation, this time of Scott Weiland. Not quite as successful an imitation as he's done in the past either, because a lot of Scott Weiland's early appeal was in his looks and his intensity, and smirky head wiggling doesn't come close. Josh Logan doesn't have any sex appeal at all! I really don't get it. I think maybe that's why he's trying to squint and smirk all the time, but that's not sexy, Mr. Logan. At least not the way you do it.

Gosh, after seeing so much of this show, I would really like to see an old-fashioned rock star with unmistakable fire and sex appeal. I think there's a huge lack of that these days. It's almost as though rockers don't think sex appeal is cool anymore, so they leave it to all the booty-girls and dance boys.

Magni did the best job I've seen tonight. Natural confidence, power in his voice, totally in tune and perfectly done. "The Dolphin's Cry" was a great choice for him. I think Live's songs are good ways for people with talent to show it, because they can really put passion into a voice that is strong and amazing but not necessarily always using a massive range or an impossible-to-get-near distinctive tone. He's just normal, but he has presence. He seems natural with all of it. I'm starting to like him as a final contender.

What the hell is wrong with Patrice Pike? She grins like a fucking fool every single time she performs. She sings like someone hammered two jawbreakers in her mouth, and for some reason she says "sh" instead of "s" all the time. Where is she from anyway? She doesn't have that freaky accent when she speaks. Why does she have it when she sings? "A shupashtawwww!!" Blech. I hope that she feels some "Instant Karma" and finally gets kicked off.

"Creep" is one of those songs that's a difficult one to pull off, not because it is the most ambitious of Radiohead songs (it's not, by far), but because it's rather plain and Thom Yorke pulls it off so perfectly. But Lukas Rossi did a pretty damn good job doing it tonight also! For one of the first times, he really showed a voice, not just a growl. And thank god, because the growl was really tiresome. He's taken the top spot, just barely, from Magni.

Well, hm, "Burning Down the House." Good choice. I thought Toby Rand did a good job with it. The megaphone was a little weird, definitely not the freshest idea, but the siren at the end did work well with the song. Decent job.

I'm glad that Jill, Zayra, and Patrice were on the bottom at the end of the show. They and Josh Logan are the worst, and they should go. I find Zayra the most entertaining of that group, though, so I'd like to see her stick around the longest, so we at least have some bizarre, semi-comic relief.

Maybe it's because I missed the opening of the show, but weren't they supposed to sing songs they wrote to a Supernova track? That's kind of what I was expecting, and instead it's more karoake. I mean, uh, covers. So when do we get to hear some original stuff?
