It's the final week of exams next week, then it's back to the normal blogging routine the week after that.

Now usually I don't like to blog about TV shows, more specifically reality TV shows, because I usually end up telling people what they already know.
I can't exactly share my opinion because it will have no effect whatsoever on the show and people will pass the post off as pointless.

Well that's what I would do anyway.
But the thing I'm so tulan with at the moment is the finale of Rock Star:Supernova.
Ok, to those who have been under the influence of drugs, alcohol, work or exams for the past few months, let me give you a brief intro to the whole series.

Rock Star is simply a talent TV series to get a new lead singer for new (or new look) bands.
Think American Idol plus a band.

But you see, what makes Supernova so much more damn special is they are formed of the guitarist from Guns N Roses- Gilby Clarke, the bassist of Metallica- Jason Newsted and the drummer of Motley Crue- Tommy Lee.

Actually come to think of it, given that Tommy Lee is infamous world wide for his homemade porn video with Pamela Anderson, you'd think porno maniacs would be another inclusion to the Rock Star fanbase.
Hell, you might as well call it Porn Star: Supernova since Tommy Lee's in it.

But I digress...

So one band made out of a trio of rock legends, in search of a new frontman.
I guess if the first season hit it big with INXS, the second season would just blow the world away with Supernova.

So the show starts with fifteen contestants from every part of the world.. or so they claim.
America had nine representitives, Australia had one, Canada had two, South Africa had one (who was also from the Netherlands and Texas..but lets just say South Africa), Iceland had one, Puerto Rico had one, but none from Asia.

Why hor? Scared our gigantic population vote on the sole Asian representitive and send the rest into the bottom three week after week ar?
Must be la...

"Orgy? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!111oneone"
So anyway, as I mentioned earlier, everybody from every walk of life worldwide was given a chance to vote. That means right, unlike American Idol, we could vote as well!
But also unlike American Idol, it isn't our choice to decide who we want to send out of the competition- it was the judges' who consist of the band (obviously) and Dave Navarro of Red Hot Chilli Poppiah fame.

After two months, the vote was all down to the final four, which the band will handpick themselves without going through the hassle of having a final three, two or one show.

As fate would have it, the final four consisted of one Canadian (Lukas), one Icelandic (Magni), one South African (Dilana) and one Australian (Toby) but no American (HAH!!)

L-R: Lukas, Magni, Toby and Dilana...
But this time unlike the first Rock Star where all four of the final contestants were normal, the second season had to have a man who wears make up and eye liner, and a woman that looks twice her age, and sounds like a cross between Anastascia and David Beckham, in the final four.

Now this is where I'm so damn tulan. I really thought Toby would win.
Either him or Magni.

But did he even at least go into the last two? NO! He went into the BOTTOM TWO together with Magni and both got kicked off, leaving the last two remaining as, yes you guessed it, the make up man and the old woman.

The circus came to town recently...
At this point in the round I was swallowing a bitter pill.
Not only a bitter pill, a jagged edged bitter pill that would enlarge to the size of a balloon when swallowed.

So right now I wasn't hoping for this guy to win or whatsoever, I was bloody wishing the old woman didn't win.
It would've been even better if neither won, but we all know that is never going to happen.

Ok, I give that both are good in their own unique sense- Lukas's original song, Headspin, is addictive, while Dilana did a wonderful rendition of Zombie and Time After Time... but I still think the other 13 would've made much better frontmen.
Plus David Beckham sounds like a woman anyway.

But still tulan!

Eventually, Supernova got the sense kicked into them and realised,
"Wait a minute, we can't have a woman fronting our band because that would tarnish our reputations as rock Gods. Even worse if we can't sleep with her because she looks like my mom and judging by her voice, probably moans like a horse..."

So they chose the better competitor to ~~sleep with~~ front them- Lukas Rossi the make up man.

"Hey lady, what make up is that? I gotta try THAT BRAND next!"
Gee, I knew makeup would win you beauty pageants but I had no idea makeup would win you vocal talent competitions.

So anyway with all the hype of local vocal talent searches in the country (Malaysian Idol, Akedemi Fantasia, One In A Million etc.) I'm going to try my hand and see if I get to win any of them.

But first you have to excuse me, I gotta go raid my mom and sis's make up kits.
Goodbye.

I still think Magni, Ryan or Toby should've won and Lukas should've sent home out early; September 21, 2006 9:35 PM
