Rockstar Supernova

Are you talking about the CBS show hosted by Brooke Burke? Where are you finding the talent on that show?

In all seriousness, I watch that show and aside from 2-3 people, I cannot see the rest being anywhere near ready to front Supernova let alone a band I see at my local Pub. The rest of them look to me as actors playing on rock star cliches, unconvincingly.

I agree,The performers are mostly semi pro.Check The shows web site.The backup Band is probably better than Supernova,They are exceptional musicians...The part of the show I don't care for is Navarro's[Average rhythm guitar player] comments gushing over the great Supernova."Gosh,how did you feel with the GREAT Tommy Lee playing behind you??" You have in Supernova a real good bass player and an average guitar player and an average drummer.The contestants are all very good at this point.Their all bring'in it..Dope Man !!Ha!

I don't see it being hard at all to front Supernova at all. Your fans are going to be fans of Mettalica,Guns & Roses and Motley Crue what kind of expectations are they going to have. The singers on the show are head and shoulders above any of their bands lead singers were. Yes it does look like a act sometimes but they need to impress the simple minds that are judging them how else are you going to win? I think it is very difficult to go on stage for one song you may not normally sing each week and having to nail it. The backup band is better than Supernova no doubt! I guess i'm missing somthing if only 2 or 3 have some talent mabey I need to listen to rock radio a little more.

Even though they are a group comprised of a great bass player and a less than stellar drummer and guitarist, they are pros. I give em props for surviving in a short attention span industry. If you ignore Dave Navarro's constant "male in heat" sexual inuendos, I think they are displaying good insight into the performers strengths and weaknesses. To my ears, almost everybody at this point (the strange caterwauling woman in the spandex a notable exception) is very professional. But the there's this small % of something special that separates professional from outstanding and memorable, and I only hear that from two or three of them. Like Blblue68 says, it's realy hard to convincingly nail songs you only have a few days to learn.
