Let's get to last night's competition:

Patrice Pike - Her original song, "Beautiful Day," wasn't too bad. I think the lyrics were a little simple and like Dave said, it's for more of a solo act instead of something that fits into Supernova.

Magni - I didn't like his voice on the opening verse of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." It got better on the chorus, but his tone was off. It wasn't his best performance. I was surprised they all gave him so much praise.

Ryan Star - His original song, "Back of Your Car," was good. He still has that confused look on his face each week, but he looked more comfortable on stage than he has in the past. Funny that he threw his guitar after the band suggested it. It was one of his best weeks.

Storm Large - Her version of "Cryin'" was a pretty solid performance. I thought she lacked Steven Tyler's power on the chorus, but she picked it up during the breakdown of the song. The beginning of her performance looked a little too choreographed, but she let go at the end.

Dilana - Her out loud breathing at the beginning was really annoying and cheesy. I wasn't into the giant eyelashes. her voice didn't have enough range to start, and I'm still not into the whole vibrato thing. I think her presence on stage carries here more than her voice. I didn't like that she sang her own name either. Not her best week.

Toby Rand - He did a very different arrangement of "Layla," and while I didn't like the hood pulled over his head, I liked his version of the song. He got the crowd into it. It was a big risk to rearrange a classic, but I thought it worked.

Lukas Rossi - I wasn't familiar with the song, "All these Things That I've Done," but I liked his performance. He has a controlled wild side that works. You can tell he's trying to let his vocals flow more freely. It wasn't his best performance, but it was solid and will carry him to next week.

I'll start listing my top three. In other words, I wouldn't be surprised if any of the others are at the bottom: Ryan, Toby and Lukas
