Another performance show went down last night. They also focused on the Dilana Drama a bunch more, which I wish they would shut up about, but drama = ratings I suppose.

Anyway, here's what happened, (with some of my thoughts on the performances.)

Lukas - Lithium / Nirvana
He stated that he doesn't like this song and rearranged it... and it worked for me. He did it very well. Dave and Supernova really liked it.

Magni - I Alone / Live
He's already performed a Live song and I predicted he would kick ass on this one. Not exactly going out on a limb with that, but he did exactly as I thought. It was very well received by Dave and the Band.

Storm - Bring Me To Life / Evanescence
Toby sang the male lead during the chorus of this song and Storm did a really good job, but not great and I didn't like her dress very much. Dave and the Band thought Toby stole the show somewhat and reminded Storm that at this point she had to be great, not just good.

Toby - Rebel Yell / Billy Idol
I think while a lot of people thought Magni would knock it out of the park with I Alone there were a lot of people that thought Toby would strike out with Rebel Yell. Well, as Toby would say, 'Evs'. Grand Slam Home Run would describe his performance. He rocked it out from beginning to end pulled a bunch of women on stage with him for the finish. Dave and the Band were stoked on his performance and Gilby said he brought that extra something he was looking for.

Ryan - Clocks / Coldplay
I liked a lot of things about this performance and didn't care for a few things. It was high energy though he started slow, looking like he was going to play the piano again for the performance. He started singing the 'You are' part of the song slowly, by himself, and then the band kicked in heavy with the intro of the song and he jumped up on the piano and started rocking out. The main thing I didn't like was that he seemed to have trouble hitting the high range of the song and would moreso scream it then sing it. It was powerful, but seemed to convey a lack of ability. Dave and the Band were very impressed with this performance as well.

Dilana - Mother Mother / Tracy Bonham
A really strong performance, though I didn't like her 'screamy' parts, which the song is supposed to have. Her outfit was awesome and Dave said he felt it was the best performance he had seen out of BOTH Seasons of Rock Star. I disagree, but that's me. It's going to be hard for anyone to top Marty's Creep or Wish You Were Here from Season One, IMO. The Band really liked Dilana's performance too.

At the end of the show the bottom three were Lukas, Storm, and I think Ryan. Based on the total of the performance (singing and stage presence) I think that is what the bottom three should be.
