And now, the songs (for want of a better update)

This might sound like a hardcore Supernova fan entry but I have started posting the original versions with the last blog and I'm having a hard time collating my thoughts on an entry I had been labouring on for a week now.

It must have been a total high for Zayra to have her original song debut with that kickass arrangement courtesy of the house band and a string quartet. I actually got chills with that song in an it-doesn't-really-matter-if-the-song-doesn't-suit-Supernova-at-all manner. It was her last chance, apparently, and she did real well.

With the exception of Zayra's original, below are the songs as done by their original artists (that, again, or their more popular remakes). You know the drill. Additional links to relevant literature from wikipedia.

Sorry, I just saw your comment. And he was again in this week's bottom three which makes me think racism is at play. Good thing, Jason Newsted and the band had grown fond of him. He is still a very strong contender. I hope he wins.

Lukas = Androgynous Bastard.

Laughed my ass off there for a minute. Anyone might grow fond of Zayra after each and every performance. Her "All The Young Dudes" rendition, though said to be pitchy by Mr. Dave "pitch-perfect" Navarro, was actually very well sang. I'm no professional singer but my auditory sense is incomprehendable to most humans it being most (as opposed to "more") advanced. Also, that last cover she made by "Blue October" entitled "Razorblade" was one of her best yet. She also sounded phenomenal with her original "Lluvia De Mar." You are right, she doesn't fit Supernova's bill but that doesn't mean she doesn't have talent. She oozes talent, she has stage presence, and she's one mean looker.

Totally understand where you are coming from.
