In my Canadian Idol post last night, I mentioned Magni's version of "The Dolphin's Cry" from Rock Star: Supernova. So I thought I would share it with you here:
With the summer television season almost upon us, I wonder if we'll be subjected... er, treated to another round of Rockstar: somebody-or-other. 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. Oops... was that my outside voice?
Personally, I think INXS should have chosen Marty Casey. And I think Supernova should have chosen Dilana. Why Dilana, when my favourite performer was actually Storm Large? Well, Storm is waaay too much performer for those ageing rockers to handle and waaay too individual to be stuck in such a mainstream act. 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":
1 part shy intellectual, 1 part edgy chick, 1 part sophisticated woman, 1 part mental patient (after all, sanity is a type of conformity)... what's your mix?
