Last TV Season, I started watching the Program Rock Star INXS & got interested in it. It was kind of like American Idol but much better. They were picking a lead singer for the actual 80s Rock Band INXS. The original singer had died.
We went and saw the band with the new singer, JD Fortune, last month on June 28th.
Now they are doing a show called Rock Star Supernova. http://rockstar.msn.com/
Tommy Lee and some other rockers are forming a new band and they are picking a singer.
One of the contestants is from Houston(currently). Her name is Dilana and she has done gigs in the Houston area for the past several years. I have never seen her show but I had heard that she used a Karaoke type set-up where she had backing tracks & would put on a whole show of Rock and Pop Songs. A friend of mine named lloyd had seen her live show and told me she was good and I had been meaning to check it out.
A couple of years back when I first started my live show, I played alot of the same "Venues" that she played at. Mostly Sports Bars & some rougher type places also. Not anywhere I would consider dangerous, Just more down to earth than other places.
Dilana's Web Page is http://www.dilanarox.com/
From the first two episodes it looks like she is a front runner in the competition. I know it can chage week to week but I am definitely rooting for her. I never met her in person but from watching the show, she seems to be very supportive of the other contestants and comes across with a certain level of humility that I like to see in any type of performer.
The first song she did was from Nirvana and she really did rock. As a matter of fact, when I was watching the show my comment was that "She F---ing Rocks" which was funny to me a the time becuase that is what she always advertised.
GOOD LUCK DILANA!
