Finale Week Reality Recap
And then there were four. Four Rockers who have been through a whirlwind of
anxiety, competition and finally, friendship. With just a few days before the
prize is announced and little time left to enjoy the mansion's posh digs, these
Rockers were definitely feeling the end of a long journey.
As the Rockers toasted Storm's classy exit, they pondered their future with
or without Supernova. Magni retreated to sing Radiohead's "Karma Police." But the private moment was interrupted when
Toby handed a pie to Dilana who promptly planted it on Magni's face. Some things
never change.
The reality of the competition returned when MiG, a contestant from last year's "Rock Star: INXS," popped
in for a visit, presenting Toby with a new Honda Element before more serious
talk. MiG stressed that their exposure will be great, but they have to choose
their own destiny: "The world is your oyster...you make it what you want."
As they entered the song selection room, the Rockers got a pleasant surprise
when they discovered their own performance photos hanging next to the myriad
honors of Supernova's individual members. The Rockers were pleased to find that
each of them was featured in a pose that best captured their individual
personalities.
Song selection contained another twist. Not only would the Rockers again
perform originals, they could choose any song from the entire season's library.
The Rockers scanned the songs, re-living memories of past performances, thrilled
over the amount to choose from. Still, rivalries persisted. Lukas and Dilana
argued over Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb." After a little negotiation, Lukas selected
Coldplay's "Fix You," a song that poignantly reminded him of his
relationship with his father: "If he happens to hear [this], I want him to know
I'm thinking about him and I want to fix whatever was broken." Dilana, in a bold
move, chose "Roxanne," the tune that marked Chris' downfall.
During rehearsal, however, House Band leader Paul Mirkovich wasn't taken with
her arrangement. Dilana had shown that she was not afraid to take risks, hoping
that this one would pay off as well as her others.
Looking on at the mansion, a place they'll be vacating in a few days, the
emotional four reflected deeply about their experience. "I don't even want to
think about this being the end...I wish this could go on forever," said Dilana.
For one Rocker, the ride will continue and for the others, well, this is one
adventure they'll never forget.
