Don't Judge Me
I've got a new favorite song. You're gonna laugh.
The song is called "Alone" by Heart. It's from 1987.
Okay, maybe it's not my favorite song, but hear me out.
I have one reality show crutch -- "Rock Star: Supernova." Last season, it was "INXS," this year, it's a band of three -- Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe), Jason Newsted (Metallica), and Gilby Clarke (Guns 'N Roses) -- looking for a new lead singer.
This week, facing elimination, Jill performed "Alone," and absolutely rocked the house! It was, by far, the best performance I've seen on the show. As a matter of fact, I have a hard time believing a woman has a chance to win this competition (including last season), but Wednesday night, she made me reconsider.
The criticism to "Rock Star" is the musicians aren't as talented as, say, "American Idol."
I disagree.
It appears, though, that "Rock Star" seems to put their less-talented performers (bottom three) on stage more often. To be fair, I only watch Wednesday night; they may work differently other nights of the week.
Personally, I prefer to hear bands covered, like the Stone Temple Pilots, Live, and Pink Floyd rather than pop-crap I'd hear on "American Idol."
If you get a chance, check it out. You might be impressed.
