rockstar:supernova

i blogged over at ma, wrote a poem, if that matters.

every week my sister and i go through performance by performance to debate who we think should or could get the supernova gig. i have to say this, zayra and josh have to go.

the great failing of this show is it is designed so you spend most of your time watching the WORST performers.

last comic standing overcame this plight. the series is running so you spend a great deal of time with the best. and i couldn't be happier. (the reality stuff, while nice, was not really what it was about. i met a comic last year who said,
it isn't really a comedy show.
but this year, i'd have to say they fixed that).

so my message to the beautiful dave navarro, the decadent tommy lee, is fix the show. can zayra and josh.

last year i hated that some of my favs got voted off early. but my sister was right (yes, we discussed that show all season long, too), some singers are not right for that particular band though they may be good. it took me a while to see it. but i wanted the best singers to win. my sister tells me she remembers auditioning for a band and did what she wanted to do. in hindsight, she knows it is the band's tastes which must get preference (josh clearly isn't getting that message, soulman).

if she were to do it all again, she would do it differently. i'm sure many would say the same given these failed opportunitites.

and perhaps the best singers did win, who knows. but this season, i can see it clear as day.

if your performance is met with laughter by dave (who is mr. manners as far as rockstars go, then quit. pack it up. i don't think she knows how bad her performances are. which is a scary thought. but if you're not from this country, don't know how the song's history or even how to dress, move, or enunciate, then go home).

since i am helping improve the show, can i just say, i like the hour long format. but this reality episode online business is a pain. this week's skipped like a school girl at recess. put the damn thing back on vh1, so we can tivo it like normal folk.

i'd like to see more reality though (i think they are running it for a half hour, but an hour would be most excellent. provided they don't focus only on the dweebs).

who knows. tommy playing drums last night was a beautiful sight. immensely gratfitying. yes, indeed.

the difference between last season and this, is there are actual rockstars on the show (aside from dave, that is). huzzah.
