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.

Digging this week's Rockstar Supernova tracks

Cable TVs still busted and someone's got to be real creative in order to not miss a weekly episode of something you look forward to going home to in a particular day of the week. Mine is Rockstar: Supernova. There's something more real in the setup of this program compared to other talent reality shows that got me hooked. One's the behind-the-scenes portion that takes as much time as the actual audition process. It makes the viewers care more and have a more tangent connection with the persons they see and it's something I consider, for want of a better term, subliminal. Makes watching more meaningful. Emo kid.

What I do is download the videos and mp3s of their performance to my PPC so I could get to watch the cuts I like over and over without even having to wait for the scheduled replay on very late the same night. For the reality bit, as they are not really available for download, I get them via the link above, the official Rockstar Supernova site hosted at MSN.

Below are the original artists' rendition (or another cover version but not done by the contestant) of what each of all 10 contestants sang on this week's episode. Want to hear who really nailed it and who got to redrum the songs? Click away, listen, and you be the judge. As an added extra, click on the links by the rockstar contestant's names and be led somewhere else.

The making of a Supernova

At this early stage, people's votes have poured over at a Rockstar Supernova fansite to give the following results:
This week is particularly surprising. Had you watched tonight's performance episode, you'd know what I mean which is reason enough for me to change my KTV playlist genre to rock. I'm now in the process of salvaging tunes off their CDs so I could listen and sing to them over and over again to perfection. Anyone wanna challenge me to a sing-off? Anyone?!

This week's featured music is a five-song selection from prior weeks' song choices in the competition. All done by thier original artists, of course. Should you want something else in particular, leave me a message.
