Don't Call Them Supernova

Tonight's finale held some surprises, not the least of which was that Tommy Lee, Gilby and Jason can't currently call themselves Supernova anymore. Earlier today, a California court issued an injunction preventing them from playing or recording rock music under the Supernova name. This is part of a lawsuit brought by another band already using the Supernova name. Talk about bad timing!

The winner was crowned and let the games begin!

Everyone Gets A Prize

The first night of the finale showcased some excellent rock and roll. The remaining rockers all seem well aware that they are all winners - each one is going to have a good shot at a successful career. And that made for four relaxed, upbeat performers who cranked out some hot music.

Ryan returned and was catapulted into a virtual car commercial while Paula Abdul looked on. That was surreal.

In my mind, Toby is still the front runner - it will be hard for Supernova to pass up his very catchy original. But Lukas, Dilana and Magni all gave strong performances and turned up the heat. I worry that Magni will be eliminated next if he ends up in the bottom two - he does not appear to be a favorite of Tommy Lee's. But if Magni ends up in the top two, it's anyone's guess who will go home.

And Then There Were Four

We're down to the final four rockers in the quest to find a lead singer for Supernova. Each rocker sang one cover song and one original. No one embarrassed themselves. A few of the originals were quite good and one of them just may end up to be the hit single that Supernova is looking for.

Is Supernova souring on Dilana? Will Tommy Lee be willing to let Magni into the band? Will Storm be voted back or will we see Zayra again? Can Lukas slip in and take the prize? Or does Toby have the victory all locked up?
