Rock Star: Supernova

[TTMommy]

I really enjoyed last summer's Rock Star: INXS, and this summer's version promises to be just as entertaining. It's different from American Idol in that the contestants are already seasoned performers, many of whom are in the music business but seeking to make it big. Last year, they all lived together, and their off-stage interactions were chronicled as well, so it was sort of a cross between a performance show and Real World. They also had various tasks that they had to do each week, like participating in a photo shoot or going on a press junket, so the band could see how each prospective member handled the different aspects of being in the public eye. The selection process is a mix, too; America votes, and then the bottom three are judged by the band members, who send one (and occasionally two) packing. This season, it's not an established band but a newly forming supergroup looking for a lead singer. If you enjoy rock music, you might want to give it a try! (Hey, I'm 54, and I'm diggin' it! )

I'm watching. I enjoyed the show last year. I really liked a lot of the performers last year. Not many have really stood out for me this year. Maybe they'll grow on me.

I really enjoy this show and must say that my absolute favorite is Dilana. I think she looks the part and sounds even better. Kind of spooky at times, but I think she'd fit perfectly with their band.

I agree. Dilana is absolutely riveting, and she has a very strong, confident personality (without being arrogant like some of them), which will definitely be needed in that group! I was really impressed with the help that she (and Storm) gave to Dana. It increased my regard for her as a human being, not just as a performer.
