Wow, it's really getting difficult to find the bad singer in the group at this point.

I thought the Dilana situation was blown a little out of proportion. I mean, she said some bad things to the press, but she shouldn't be criticized for her honesty.

Then again, she's still not my favorite on the show, so I wouldn't mind if she didn't win because of the comments.

Anyway - on to the show:

Lukas Rossi - Lukas opened the show with Nirvana's "Lithium." He changed it up a little and I thought it worked well. He strained his voice a little, but he's gotten much better about that over the weeks. I thought it was a really well done performance. Lukas has the ability to keep you focused on him, and not think about the band. That works well considering who makes up Supernova.

Magni - His voice (and the bald look) worked well for Live's "I Alone." He messed up the words at the beginning, but it was hard to notice. He also kicked it up a notch for the chorus and really ripped into it. His primal scream was awesome, too. It was his best performance to date. He's always a solid performer, but I thought he really stepped it up this week.

Ryan Star - He slowed down the beginning and used falsetto for "Clocks" and I hated it, but it did get better. I'm not crazy about the song to begin with, but I wasn't into his changes.

Storm Large - I didn't think "Bring Me To Life" was a good choice for her because of the tone of her voice. I liked that Toby came out and sang with her, but it did take away from her performance. Her voice is always just... missing something. It almost sounded like bad karaoke to me this week.

Toby Rand - His performance of "Rebel Yell" was one of the better ones for him on the show. He has the right tone in his voice for it. I thought it was a solid performance, and he really got the crowd into it. It wasn't his best, but it worked well.

Dilana - I thought the guitar actually took away from her performance of "Mother Mother." I'm glad she put it down after the first verse. Of course, then she went nuts as usual. It was one of her better vocal performances, but she needs to cut back on her over-the-top antics on stage - flailing about, kicking around. It's almost cheesy.

It's getting tougher by the week. I thought the best performances were by: Magni, Lukas and Toby
I thought the worst performances were by: Storm and Ryan
For me, Dilana was in the middle.
