Rock Star: Week 12

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

This is my last recap of this season's Rock Star. I'm a little sad that my favorite reality show is ending tonight. Here's hoping for a third season. Van Halen, come on, you know you need a singer. Here's my thoughts: Ryan Star--Back of My Car: Ryan was sent ...

Rock Star: Week 11

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

I don't have time to do the full run-down as I have the previous weeks. At this point it doesn't really matter anyway. They are all good, except for Lukas. Here are my thoughts per performer: Dilana: They edit this show the way they do for a reason. It ...

Rock Star: Week 9 and Celebrity Duets

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

With Patrice gone, all remaining rockers have a chance.  But, with last night's show we see that nothing is certain.  I'm afraid that we might see one of my favorite's go home: Lukas Rossi--Lithium: If mumbling, incoherent cocky front-men are what you are searching for (and I'm getting the impression that ...

Rock Star: Week 8

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

There was major movement among the top contestants last night.  It's really getting interesting at this point.  Dilana is still at the top, but under her is a lot of jostling. Patrice Pike--Beautiful Thing: Nice song, if you like boring.  There is no way that Cynthia Nixon lasts past tonight.  There ...

Rock Star: Week 7

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

Acoustic is my favorite style of music, so I really enjoyed last night's offerings. We will soon be getting to a point where true contenders will get the axe. But there is still a couple of weeks before that happens: Zayra Alvarez--Lluvia De Mar (Rainy Days): Sounded great, ...

Rock Star: Week 6

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Each week, the performances get better and better.  And Dilana puts more distance between herself and everybody else. Dilana--Won't Get Fooled Again: One nagging question through this competition has been whether or not Supernova would legitimately consider a woman to front their band.  The band answered last night with a full ...

Rock Star: Week 5

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

The performances last night were good across the board.  To me, there were only a couple of performances that completely came up short. Patrice Pike--Higher Ground:  Cynthia Nixon, with some messed-up hair, bounced back admirably from last week's performance. Of course it helped that she was backed by Tommy going gonzo.  ...

Rock Star: Week 4

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

No major surprises this week other than Patrice moving downward while Ryan continues to reverse his fortunes.  The race still belongs to a toss-up between Lukas and Dilana (Lukas if Tommy gets his way) with Storm and Toby a distance behind them. The Performances: Lukas Rossi--Bittersweet Symphony: Johnny Rotten called.  He wants ...

Rock Star Week 3

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Overall, I am beginning to see vast improvement so far in the contestants.  There were a couple of performances that left me cold but, for the most part, everybody did a fine job.  However, there are a few rockers who are separating from the pack.  More on that to come.  ...

Rock Star: Week 2

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

I have to say that, overall, the performances last night were underwhelming.  I'm confident that the contestants will find their footing in a week or two.  And that's a good thing because a couple of performers are already separating from the pack. Supernova was much more critical of the performances last ...
