Great Day for a Storm

I confess that I watched both Rockstar: INXS and Rock Star: Supernova, but I was severely underwhelmed with both bands' final choices: egotistical Canadian pseudo-bad-boys with adolescent attitudes.

Her original song "Ladylike" convinced me of that (listen to it in My Music Box). Or for another brilliant, hilarious and highly entertaining example of her performing genius, watch her with her old band Storm, Inc. singing "Great Day":
