Limes with Orange

Tempest = Storm
Great = Large

I know I haven't been commenting on Rock Star: Supernova this year, even though I was a two-posts-a-week Rock Star: INXS grrl last year. That doesn't mean I haven't been watching, just that I've been too insanely busy with my short film to blog (said film is now in the can, except for one insert shot, then it's off to the lab when the rest of the students finish filming). But enough preamble...

I was keenly disappointed to see Storm Large leave the show. Especially after her incredible, anthem-like original song the night before: "Ladylike." I hope she goes straight into the studio to record this song (both the PG and R-rated versions). I simply can't get it out of my head which, in this case, is a wonderful thing. Aside from the fact that it's crazy catchy, the sentiment is so relatable for all of us women who feel constrained by society's desire for us to fit a girly-girl mold. And I HIGHLY recommend watching the video!!! You can either follow the links on the Rock Star site or go here to watch it without commercials (albeit with lower quality).

Anyway, since I'm commenting on the show, I'll throw in a couple of other observations. Love Dilana! Even if she did have a bit of a meltdown a couple weeks ago. I think she's pulled herself together and is back to her rocking, original self. Can't stand Lukas Rossi, even if he is Canadian. He's kind of like this year's JD for me. Though I confess that he's probably more talented than JD and I did actually download his original song, "Headspin." To take the comparisons further, I kind of feel like Dilana is the new Jordis, Toby Rand is rather Mig-like (though I think Toby is a stronger contender than Mig was) and, for me, Storm was this year's Marty. To clarify that last statement, Marty Casey was the guy that I didn't even realize I loved until I noticed that the Rock Star songs that I played most were his... all of his. Same with Storm. That girl can sing the sh*t out of a phone book.

Tempest = Storm
Great = Large

I can't wait for the storm to pass this way.

P.S. Check out this awesome video of Storm, Inc. (Storm's old band).
