Yes, the
initial bottom 2 was Magni and Toby. Magni played "Fire", Toby "White Wedding" - they auffed Magni. Then Lukas did "Bittersweet Symphony", Dilana did "Zombie" and Toby did "Somebody Told Me". I think that they were told to play the favorite song that they performed during the show. Then they eliminated Toby, and then they picked Lukas.
Definitely not surprising. Not sure what the heck people meant. Gilbey even said
that he had the most votes of everyone -- so they really weren't willing to go against that.
I would think that songwriting
had a part in it -- except that Gilbey offered to produce and write with Dilana on her next album and Dave offered to play on it. They had Dave invite Dilana to tour with OB:House. Dilana and Storm and the House Band. If they would only pick up a few club gigs during the tour.
Thank you! I must admit, I'm surprised. I thought they'd pick
Toby. Lukas just seemed a bit too...I don't even know what but not hard rocker dude.
I think that
Toby looked to "regular" for them. . . they wanted somebody more peacocky and Lukas is certainly that.
sumi, that's a very apt description!
The winner deserves the band. I won't be buying a CD.

You know, I think that Mark Burnett might have telegraphed the winner a little bit. What with the using of "Head Spin" in the Survivor promo that aired in the middle of the finale.
My eyes just rolled out of my head.

Sigh.
I really really want to see a girl band next summer. Does Heart need a new lead singer?
I think if they lose one of the two they have, they're really not Heart anymore.
