Down to the final 6 which means they need to fill the hour-long show up with lots of specious filler and dreck. So last night we got to see – in great detail – a Dilana breakdown caused by her talkin’ a lot smack about her housemates and co-contestants on last week’s sing-off show. Storm (who she didn’t say anything bad about) comforted her during her crying fit which sounded like it actually hurt; it was painful to listen to. Later, Dilana breaks some glass outside when the cameras try to come in close and manages to get Magni’s head with a shard on the rebound. Cut to Lukas asking what would have happened if she had gotten him in the eye. You know, coz it’s all fun and games until someone’s eye gets put out. Ryan, with his usual taking a dump look, said he thought Dilana was showing she is unable to handle being on top and “now she’s like self-destructing”. Then we get to see what the fans have chosen for each of them to sing.
Ryan – “Clocks” by Coldplay
Lukas – “Lithium” by Nirvana
Toby – “Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol
Storm – “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence
Dilana – “Mother Mother” by Tracey Bonham
Magni – “I Alone” by Live
Performances:
Lukas finally faced the audience consistently. I found the accent that wandered in and out of his performance strange, off putting, and distracting to listen to. Dave and the Band were unanimous in lovin’ the Lukas.
Magni told everyone Dilana inflicted him with “just a flesh wound” (total Monty Python reference that not many people got) in response to Dave asking about his head. You couldn’t even see it - head cuts bleed like the dickens and look bigger than they really are. Either that or he had tons of make up on it. I thought his performance was “unmemorable” and channel surfed throughout. He got lots of kudos from both Dave and the Band.
Ryan played the piano, “Dukes of Hazzarded” the piano, stood on the piano, got off on the piano, and basically just grossed me out with his performance. Has anyone else noticed that the slope of Ryan’s forehead goes right into the slope of his ginormous nose? Overall good reviews from Dave and the Band, but Jason got boo-ed for telling Ryan he loses his focus when he leaves the piano.
Storm did a decent rendition of a higher register belt-it-out song with her lower register voice and Toby singing the back-up guy parts. I think that although she is one of the stronger singers (read: she stays on pitch, she articulates, her vocals don’t wobble all over the place, and she keeps the song energy consistent), she isn’t going to win because her voice doesn’t have that rawness to it that I think the Band is looking for. I like her. The Band did not. Gilby said he still remembers Zayra’s performance of this song. Let’s be honest. Gilby doesn’t remember Zayra’s performance, his dick does. And because Storm wasn’t wearing sprayed on gold or glitter or black pleather with a Junior Birdman cape, she was deemed “unmemorable”. Band thought Toby upstaged her as well.
Toby did an ersatz Billy Idol. It was like he went though a check list in his head… Arm upraised and pumpin’ the fist? Check. Jump around like a Mexican Jumping Bean? Check. Girls on Stage? Check. Audience Participation? Check. Suspenders? Check. Band liked it, I hated it.
Dilana was last. Dave told her that every heavy metal lead singer has said something inappropriate. And I find they generally are unapologetic about it as well. Take Ted Nugent – he’s still offending tons of people by just breathing. I wonder how long it takes for her or whoever to do her hair? Dilana showed she could sing tunefully without the burr in her voice and she’s got that heavy metal scream down pat! Dave and Band were unanimous with the rave reviews.
Bottom three at end of show: Storm, Ryan, and Lukas.
Did you all see the trailer for “Crank”, the movie with Jason Stratham? YUMMY!
