Dana adds that Lukas gave her a really loaded question last night. "It was like, can you help me get the steak knife out of my heart..." Boy, rockers are dumb. Matt says he jumped on Lukas because he doesn't like it "when someone asks you a question and you answer the question and then the person who asked the question won't answer it. You know." Except you didn't answer it either, Matty.

Dilana gets the encore performance. I still can't believe she can jump around like that and never miss a word. Afterward, Brooke tells her that just because the band wanted to see her again doesn't mean she's safe from the bottom three. "Nobody is safe from the bottom three!!!" she cackles before draining the blood of an albino squirrel.

Speaking of the bottom three, it's finally time to see who they are. Brooke tells the contestants that when they went off the air last night, Magni, Phil and Chris were in the bottom. But that doesn't mean they ended up there. Because over the course of the night, Zayra (yay!) Ryan and Matt also spent time at the bottom. And when voting finally ended, the final final bottom three were: Chris, Phil and Matt.

Okay, Chris and Phil I totally see. But Matt over Zayra? I'm calling shenanigans on that one. Hell, during the prep for my last colonoscopy, even my ass made better sounding noises than her singing.

Tonight, the singers get to pick the song themselves, which gives them a chance to recover from a bad song choice the night before. Like TheDave, the band and/or Brooke keep reminding us every few minutes, song choice is SUPERDUPERDUPERIMPORTANT.

Chris is up first. His song? "LA Woman" by The Doors. He says he picked this because it's one of the songs that got him into rock and roll, because it's about being yourself and not giving a damn what anyone thinks. Uhm, no it isn't. Although after Chris' performance I don't give a damn whether he stays on the show or not, so I guess he's half right.

Next up is Phil. Watching the recap, his performance was even worse than I remembered. Not as bad as Chris', but still not good. To make up for it, he decides to do "Stars" by Switchfoot. Who? What? Tommy's happy, though, as loves that band. Phil says when he looks for inspiration, he looks to Switchfoot. Maybe he should look again, because his performance both sucks and blows. I wish G-Ram would run across the stage and tell this stupid donkey to SHUT IT DOWN!! Although in the interest of bad puns, I'd have him yell "SWITCH IT OFF!!"

The final performer of the night is Matt. Last night he did an okay version of "Yellow," but since that's a really poppy song, tonight Jason says they want to hear him get uglier and really bring the heaviness. Matt's choice? "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" by Culture Club. Not really, but it was almost as bad. He's going to perform "Planet Earth" by Duran Duran.

Jason tells Matt it's an interesting choice. It's not quite Supernova's speed, but let's see what ya got, kid. Right off the bat, you can tell the band isn't digging it. Personally, I like what Matt does with the song. It's a lot more guitar-heavy than the original version, and it's light years ahead of Chris and Phil. Still, when Supernova tells you to bring the rock, and you bring this...

...you can't be too surprised if they don't like it. Which they don't.

After his performance, the band gets together to make their decision. Before saying who they're sending home, however, Jason reminds them one more time of how important song selection is. This can't be good for Matt. "Next week, you need to pick a song and make it your own, no matter what it is," Jason tells them. "Even if it's a ballad. Whatever it is, make it your own and bring it to us." Hey, maybe Matt's going to make the cut after all. He definitely made the song his own.

First Gilby tells Chris they question his vocals. With Phil, they question his stage presence. And with Matt, they question his song choice. Gilby, didn't you hear what Jason just said? He made it his own!

No matter, as Matt is the first one cut. Such is life in the world of rock and roll.

Before leaving, Matt thanks the guys for the opportunity, and says they're still his heroes. He tells Tommy he's a beautiful guy who's just gotten a bad rap in the press. Now Matt's just sucking up. Tommy Lee isn't misunderstood. Dude steers his boat with his cock. Not a lot to misunderstand there...

Anyway, Matt says he doesn't mind losing to the other singers, at which point Tommy interrupts him and says Matt didn't lose, it's just the wrong time. Ah, Tommy's so nice...

So, what do you think of the band's decision? I know Matt wasn't going to win, but surely he's better than Chris or Phil, isn't he?
