Who, me? I'm terrible at reassurance.

RS - ok, I like all I saw except LUCAS that mumbly ass.

Well, I really thought that this was Lukas' least mumbly performance EVER. And I loved Storm's performance and that Dave got up and played guitar for her. I liked Toby's original better than his cover. . . and found Magni boring. And although Dilana's original didn't suck as much as I thought it would, it was still the worst one of the night. Her version of BBE wasn't bad -- and I loved that she couldn't stand to just sit and got up and hopped on one leg through her set.

Dilana: I didn't hate her performance of BBE until she started to do the self-referential eyerolling. Then I wanted to sweep her good leg out from under her. The original was okay. A million times better than The Thong Song or CTRL ALT DEL.

Magni: I like Magni as a person. He bores me as a performer. Also, there was this one riff in his original that kept making me expect to hear the song turn into Jackson Browne's Running on Empty.

Storm: Love love love. Love her. Love PPoD. Love the cover. Love the original. Must get my hands on the non-sanitized for network television version of this song. What the fuck is ladylike, indeed. Stay one more week, Storm, and then launch a tour so I can come see you live!

Lukas: Eh. I'm weary of his schtick.

Toby: He's not my favorite but he is quite the showman. Plus he used "oh ohs" in his original and, clearly, SuperSuckAss loves that kind of shit. I think this could be his to lose. I kinda feel sorry for him.

I also think that, given Marty's amazing electric (but acoustic!) performance of Mr. Brightside last year, Toby's performance of that song was doomed to suck by comparison.

I did find it interesting that they only showed Dilana, Lukas and Toby in the clinic with SUGC. Final three?

Though they said they were doing a final four. I'm confused about how this final week is going to work.

Well, it's not Drive news but I think it's cool!

Logline: A darkly comedic one-hour series starring Eddie Izzard as the head of a family of Irish grifters who moves with his family to the American South and assume the role of a regular suburban family.

Kristen - that sounds interesting. Do they say when it's going to show up?

You haven't seen RS yet, have you?

I will post about it later.

FINALLY caught RS again. It was elimination night, though. Must remember to watch on Wednesdays.

That said, I was sorry to see Storm go. I really liked her and her version of "Wish You Were Here". However, I think Dilana might have a really good chance of winning. I hope so. I'd like to see a woman win. Without having to compete on Rockstar: The Go-Go's

I was so sad to see Storm go. I'm totally going to order (What the Fuck is) Ladylike from CD Baby. I really don't think that they are going to choose Dilana. . . but given the general craptasticness of SuperWHATEVs, it doesn't really matter. I think that they're going to choose Toby or Lukas. . . and it really looks more like Toby to me.

Huh. That's Storm from Storm and her Dirty Mouth. She was forever trying to break through in San Francisco and never could despite her obvious vocal talents and charisma. She was a barista at a cafe I used to frequent back in the early 90s. Sean Penn was a big fan of hers.

YouTube clip of Storm doing What the Fuck is Ladylike? at a club. Uncensored, of course. Sound's not ideal, but good enough.
