I thought I was feeling it, but then it told me I was using the wrong browser. :-( Now it's suing me for harrassment.
Actually, the thing that I keep thinking whenever I see these cross-media promotions is how much I hate being stuck in a web browser. I love using MSN Messenger. I tolerate Windows Media Player when I need it. But why oh why am I stuck in a web browser to enjoy online media?
I dunno. Once we thought the browser was going to be the next platform. Then the web was the platform. (psst. The services are the platform.)
Maybe Alex Barnett's blog would be a better place to bug you guys about this... :-)
Backstage passes to Tommy Lee's offstage life sounds interesting, though. - Anonymous

RJD- I agree with you on Brooke. She's very pretty (and granted, I'm not her target audience), but I'm not feeling the personality. I find something about dave intriguing though. He's masculine and feminine, he's rock and roll but seemingly very sweet. He is not a geat orator, though...you are right.
I think that one of the things that wall make it interesting is that this wasn't an existing band missing a beloved singer. It's a bunch of known musicians coming together to build a band. I look forward to the dueling egos.
Last time did you care about INXS? Once Michael died, I stopped caring (probably even before that to tell the truth). I thought some of the fun was how canned and cheesy some of the INXS guys were. Kind of trying to retain their cool factor well after their heyday.
Anyway, the bulk of the show is about the contestants. So to some extent, they are the big stars. Can't wait to see who they have and sit on my couch at home and say "I can sing better than you!" (to a very few of course). - Anonymous

Heather, please tell your company to stop trying to trick me into watching TV. It may be on my computer, but it still qualifies as TV.

I guess I should say I once cared about INXS. Great date music back in the day, and the new stuff is very good, so I guess I care again.
How does Sebastian Bach figure in here? Is he on the show somehow? I haven't seen him in the promos. He is on the VH1 show Super Group with Ted Nugent. - Anonymous

Tim-we are officially sorry : )
RJD-maybe I am getting my shows mixed up. I was abut to say that maybe I should pay more attention to the TV, but that doesn't sound right. Wishful thinking perhaps. - Anonymous

funny. I agree they could seriously shorten up the boot off show. I'd like to see more of the drama in the house. I thikn initially you might want to hear them sing a bit more before you kick them off but after a while, it will be more clear who needs to go - Anonymous

If these "singers" are "the world's greatest unsigned rockers" and "the best of the best" like "just stand there and look pretty" Brooke tells us, she's either delusional or hyping a group of second stringers and a show that are in dire need of serious HYPE. I believe it's the latter. The bottom three "performers" were (to put it diplomatically) amateurish at the very best. The Duran Duranie was utterly clueless, his fellow tail enders are tone deaf and have zero concept of vocal dynamics. Even the rent an audience was visably uncomfortable listening to them. The "Rebel Yell" guy...honestly, he looks like he should have been cast as an Oompa Loompa. "Best of the best"? Well at least we're seeing why they're unsigned. - Anonymous

I agree with the bloggers of July 7th about the boot-off show. I think if the producers were going to leave it the two-night format with the second night bootin' people off that at least for the FIRST show they should have booted off the bottom three. Then resume to the normal routine of one singer boot-off per week. Just a suggestion. - Anonymous

Anna- wow, we have different tastes, girl! That's OK, the heart wants what it wants...or something like that. I hope Kaysar wins...oh wait...different show.
Electric Eye- Youch! ; ) If Brooke uses the word "rockers" to describe the contestants one more time I am going to hurl. I was shocked that they liked the Rebel Yell guy. He sounded a little "pitchy" to me too. And his look doesn't work for me.
Laurie-that would speed things along!
I'm going with Delana and Patrice. Delana is very interesting if she can keep it up without it getting old she's a shoo-in. None of the guys impressed me that much this year. I thikn the gals have it. - Anonymous

magni from iceland rocks,, he is the best in this show - Anonymous

what do you think of magni the guy from iceland - Anonymous
July 08, 2006
What? Did the Magni fan club just show up? : )
I thought that his performance was average compared to the others. I found many of the performances "pitchy" (love that word), either because the singers were off key or trying to strain beyond their range. Also, because it's rock, I think some of them try to power through with their voces so you don't get a clear sense of whether the voice is actually good because all it sounds is loud.
I'm no expert. I sang choir, and some solos, when I was a kid but nothing since then. I guess my ear is discerning when it comes to pitch but I can't read music to save my life. I guess i just know what I like and I know what is off-key. And there were a lot of missed notes on RS:S. - Anonymous

l am supporting the Australian entry. Toby Rand. He will last till the final few rounds at least. l may be prejudice as l am an aussie. - Anonymous

Annika-OK, we get it. Iceland in the house.
KJ-I bet you are a guy.
Ray- you may be right. He was one of the better singers, I thought. Though it's always hard to tell so early on. - Anonymous

Is it just me, or does Lukas Rossi remind you of Eddie Munster? - Anonymous
July 12, 2006
Uncle Buck-I was thinking Chakka from Land of the Lost, which is Ron Howard's brother...I forget his name. But I can see the Eddie Munster thing too. I thought he sang better last night but I just can't get into the eyeshadow and the stage persona. That snarly thing worked great for Billy Idol, but it doesn't look right on Lukas. Wouldn't look right on me either by the way. - Anonymous

Steve-I'll agree with you that this year's contestants aren't great. But I think I recall warmingup to sme of last year's contestants over time.
The Duran Duran choice was unfathomable. Just shocking in it's stupidity. I'm sorry, I am sure he's a nice person but that was not smart.
I think Phil could do Maroon 5 but Josh is all Backstreet., baby.
I thought Zayra was interesting on the first show but her "diapers" comment was annoying. And she needs to change it up to stay in the game.
Lukas kind of annoyed me with his comments and his Billy Idol imitation. Toby is good and could win but he's not at all edgy. Dilana was interesting but the staring into the camera thing will officially get old if she does it again. Her version of Ring of Fire (one of my alltime favorite songs) was great though. Magni...eh. He needs to work harder to win me over. Sorry Iceland..I still love the Sugarcubes. I don't think Ryan has a strong voice and Storm needs to stop acting goofy (goofy does not equal stage presence).
Right now, money is on Dilana, Toby or Lukas. I'd be OK with the first two. I can't get over the attitide of the last one.
My question is whether Chris, Jill or Zayra go tonight. All 3 will go soon (oh the look on Jill's face after the judges gave their opinion of her performance last night...sure you weren't trying to be like Courtney Love....Sure!). And this is why I would never be a pro performer...too humiliating!
I'm glad you showed up Steve. I needed someone to chat with about this today that wasn't all "I <3 Magni!" - Anonymous

I always thought the bottom three were trying to redeem themselves with the song they would perform on the cast off show. You can't seriously say Zayras' attempt to stay alive was so much better than Chris' that she's in and he's out!! What a joke! - Anonymous

Yes I agree Jill sang great last night. Strong vocals on that girl, for sure! Does anyone think the rockers know who is going to be leaving? Or is just purely speculation?I think the guys in the band must also realize that almost everyone will be in the bottom three at some point. Maybe they're not too sure of what they want or need!! I totally agree the last years inxs cast far outweighs this years cast. Maybe the guys had one too many of something when they made their choice from 25000 auditions! - Anonymous

I think they selected some of the contestants for drama, not talent. If you go over to the MSN site you can watch some of the goings-on in the house and in rehearsal. the house bands comments on some of the singers which I found interesting.
Just in case someone accidently came here and didn't know I work for Microsoft, of which MSN is a division, I'm telling you now so you don't accuse me of hiding that fact when I point you there. But go to the site for the extra video footage. - Anonymous

Zayra is so annoying! I think the only reason they keep her around is because they get a kick out of someone humiliating themselves. She is a trainwreck! After she mad the diaper comment I would have kicked her off. Like they are going to want to hang out on tour with a geek like her. - Anonymous

Zayra staying on the show totally disrupted their official forums. Many were banned and their posts deleted and they spent most of last week trying to regain control of the dedicated fans at that official forum and rounding it up.
It was really bad. BAD. - Anonymous
July 18, 2006
HKruger and RockstarWatcher- I think that Chris was bad enough to kick off. I mean, Zayra and Chris were both bad, but at least she was interesting. Hey, it's early in the competition...I can think of lots of people that need to go. There are several contestants that I am sure the band has no intention of selecting. But you can't vote everyone off the first week or there would be no show. On the other hand, Idid fantasize abuot them doing a double elimination last week like they did that one time last year. - Anonymous

Hello everyone. I was a little surprised that Supernova kept Dana on. I guess they felt she needed more exposure to this world to try to help her develop a more viable skill. I am not so surprised Jenny went so much as she even made it there. I live in the Vancouver area, and I find it amazing that she was the best talent they could come up with. I'm not trying to totally dis her, but for how they seem to portray themselves, she was a stretch, I think. Oh well, another one bites the dust! I am opening my eyes and ears more to Magni, I have to admit. - Anonymous

Dana has a great voice. She'll be cut eventually, but Jenny had to go. Her voice was not strong at all and her stage presence was lacking. Definitely more suited to the coffee house.
I can't believe that the Metallica guy told Josh that he didn't know why he was in the bottom 3! Because Josh sang out of his nose....because his style is boy band...because his range is lacking.
I thought Ryan Star should have been in the bottom 3 instead of Dana. Let's get rid of the people without good voices so we don't have to listen to them sing for the rest of the season. - Anonymous

Hi again! Could you believe Dave Navarro's cocky answer to Patrice? I think she had a legit question that deserved a better answer than that. Wonder who will be leaving tonight? I'll put a bet on Phil for the fun of it. - Anonymous

Electronic Eye-I don't think we overlooked anything. I'm enjoying watching the trainwreck. I don't think anyone here (tell me if I'm wrong) thinks this is going to be some kind of super group..just entertainment, that's all. It's for a TV show. - Anonymous

So we both have that mental image of the Hindenburg when anticipating these "artists" come together for our listening pleasure?..lol And I'm not talking about Led Zeppelin.... - Anonymous
July 27, 2006
Oh yeah...I'm with you on that. I'm waiting for the writhing on the floor and foot stomping that Lukas is going to so when he gets kicked off. I actually think Gilby is pretty brilliant but Tommy is overexposed (cough cough) and shows off forthe camera and I don't know that other guy.
The thing that makes this season really rock, so to speak, is the total disconnect between the "rockers'" self image and their actual talent level. At least for most of them (Josh, Lukas, Ryan).
The only way this could become any more of a guilty pleasure for me is of someone hands me a bag of Doritos, a bottle of chsseze whiz and some red bull. I want the people that are good to win because they want to win, not because Supernova is going to be great. - Anonymous

I really want to know who else is keeping Zayra in as well. They should disclose that at some point. - Anonymous

Hey, I'm not saying I would pick her, just that Supernova might. If it were up to me, we'd just get Marty back from last season.
I can tell the Aussie guy is laying it on...it's part of his "character". I've known enough Aussies to know that "mate" doesn't go on the end of every sentence. He wants to stand out, which may not be a bad strategy because his stage performances aren't that interesting. - Anonymous

Hey, HeatherLeigh, funny you should mention someone from last years Rock Star! I thought of Ty fronting the band!! Or even Chris Daughtry from American Idol, once he has done his obligatory tour with that show! Great minds....... - Anonymous

Heatherleigh, allow me to be the first.....Burt Ward called the Rockstar production offices...he asked them to instruct Zayra to return his Robin outfit immediately. At least the mystery of why she's still there is solved...it's for comedic value. - Anonymous
August 02, 2006
Hello! So, who is leaving tonight? Somehow I'm sure it won't be Zayara. Lukas really blew this one, though. I think I'm going to jump my Lukas ship and get on board with Dilana. As harsh as I think her voice is, I find her hauntingly entertaining. Any thoughts out there? - Anonymous

Pretty sure storm large has the most fans. Out of all the rockers i've searched the net for, Storm was the only one with a fansite lol - http://www.stormlargefans.com - I'd like to see her win! - Anonymous
