I've been watching and I actually like the show, if it wasn't for Gilby saying that one dude sucked got me to keep watching it. Here's my 2 cents.
In my opinion Lucas & Dilana are the ones to beat followed by Storm and Patrice.
Lucas has had 1 bad night, like his vocals or not, he is the total package. With the exception of this week he's owned the stage when he's set foot on it. The only reason I say Lucas is the man to beat overall is cos he has the swagger and attitude that makes up for any lack of range he has. This man could very well be the next gen "showman" ie; Roth, Stanley, Jagger. Why wasnt he in the bottom 3 after delivering a bad performance? Because he has all the fans. In simpler terms if you go see Evergrey 5 nights in a row and they're off 1 night, do you condemn them to hell for all eternity? No. They're human.
Dilana is the same. It's like she hypnotizes the crowd. Not 1 lackluster performance from her yet. She is the gal to beat in the group.
Storm only had 1 off night and it was only the ending of the Cheap Trick song... too brodway was the perfect description of it. If it wasn't for that I'd say she wasa dead tie with Dilana in the best of the gals.
Patrice in my opinion has the best voice of all that's left. She is starting to tweak herself and push herself more and that will make her a mainstay. Why she was in the bottom 3 again this week and Zayra, Lucas or Aussie boy wasn't is just becuase you have people voting on looks rather than talent during this as well, there's no way around it. Everyone was shocked she was in the bottom 3. Why they let Jill sit down before her is a mystery to me.
The only thing that saved Jill was Heart. Jill drops the ball way too much and I would have sent her packing over Dana in a heartbeat.
Dana has grown vbery much. Sure, she may be too young to pull off the gig, but she's been solid 3 running weeks where Jill hasn't, I would have kept her around to see more of the transformation.
Josh does not belong on this show. He's bringing a wrong vocal style and performance to this band. Sure he's talented, as everyone is in their own way at this point, but Supernova he is not.
Same thing with Magni. Sure he sings great, but can you picture this guy fronting that band? I can't.
I will put Toby in this category as well. Vocals are ok, sure the chicks dig him, but they dig Lucas too and Lucas will win out over an accent any day. This guy brings nothing else to the table performance wise other than being "mostly" consistent in the competition.
Ryan. Great performance. I don't see him in this band. I see him as becoming another Springsteen, Squier or someone along those lines. I don't think he's edgy enough to make the final cut. Also he's hit and miss too much in his weekly performances. One great performance won't save him in the long run.
And last but not least in my book is the sexy Zayra. Voice? Not bad, in fact pretty damn good. Easy on they eyes? hell yes. But a square peg does not fit in a round hole. She shakes it up every time she hits the stage. She raises the bar in a different way with shock value and that is something the band is looking at. Can she front this band? No. But she is showing other people another aspect you must bring to the competition.
Now that they will actually have to write lyrics for a Supernova song I think you will see the top 4 I mentioned stay there as they have the most experience in writing material.
