The Ryan King - 
by copygodd
Finally, she addresses the crowd: "Nobody's perfect, we all stumble, but I'm back, stronger than I was before." What she doesn't tell them is the source of her renewed strength: baby hearts. She finishes by saying she loves her friends, and she'll never ever do anything to hurt them again. Until the next full moon, at least. Or fajita night, whichever comes first.
Remorse.
Guilt.
PASSION!!!
After the break, we get some footage of the rockers learning what songs the fans have chosen for them. Ryan gets to sing "Clocks" by Coldplay because the fans want to hear more of his falsetto. Ryan says that's the amazing thing about the Internets is that it's a series of tubes. Actually, he says that before he even had a chance to think about what to do with this song, his Internet fans were already telling him what they wanted. Through a series of tubes.
Lukas gets "Lithium" by Nirvana. Is there any way he's going to top Dilana's version of it from Week One? Survey says, NO! Lukas thinks the fans gave him that song because they want to see him show up Dilana. I think they gave it to him because they want to see him shoot himself in the face.
The fans have selected Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" for Toby. And they want to hear Magni do "I Alone" by Live. Storm gets "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence. Storm says she knows the melody, but has to learn the lyrics. What do you bet she does so with the aid of her trusty Verizon V-Cast phone?
Finally, Dilana gets "Mother Mother" by Tracy Bonham. Storm reads the following message to Dilana from one of her fans: "You give women who love to listen to rock someone to look up to. Keep fighting the fight and I'm sure we will see you standing there when the smoke clears." At the end of the Apocalypse.
TheDave tells the rockers he doesn't want any train wrecks this week. Then he tells Lukas he's up first. So much for his "no train wrecks" theory.
Amazingly, both the ball and the mug are normal size.
Brooke tells us that all summer long, we've seen Lukas's "dark brooding side." But tonight, we'll see another side to Lukas: his brooding dark side. Lukas says he's glad he got this song, because hopefully the fans will see him for what he is: a hardworking musician that believes in what he's doing, and when he's not onstage, he's just hanging out just like everyone else. "I love playing basketball. I love video games. I love drinking beer. Did I mention that?" Before joining the show, Lukas says he was working at Hooter's, flipping chicken wings. "I am like everybody else," he finishes. "I just wear more makeup than everybody else." Fair enough.
I think I'd ask for a new microphone.
At this point in the season what else is there to say about Lukas except mumblemumbleslurmumble? At least he doesn't stare at the band this week. Afterward, TheDave tries one of his old misdirections: "You took a classic, sacred Nirvana song, and you rearranged it like that?" Dramatic pause. "It was awesome dude!" Much like the high school girls of Dazed and Confused, that never gets old. Speaking of, you know what else never gets old? This.
Next up is Magni. He says that statistically speaking, if he's in the bottom three again this week, for the third time in a row, he's probably going home. So the only thing he can do not to be in the bottom three this week is to campaign to get people to actually vote for him. Hmm... I'd have tried "not sucking" but I guess that's the difference between the American and Icelandic mindsets. He tells Australia he's a lot better looking than Toby. Canada can certainly do better than Lukas. And just because Ryan's American doesn't mean America has to vote for him. Funny how he doesn't get in any digs on Storm or Dilana. Probably because he knows Storm is going home next, and he's afraid Dilana will cut more than his head.
Magni is doing one of my least favorite songs by one of my least favorite bands, so I just fast-forward through his performance. TheDave lurvs it, though, standing up to shout "that boy can sing!" TheDave says there's nothing he can say to Magni; it just comes down to the roll of the dice now. Tommy tells Magni it was cool he came into the crowd, but he wishes Magni had gone into the back to the cheap seats. Gilby tells him that while he's been solid all season long, tonight he gave them that extra something he's been looking for, and thinks Magni did a great job. Maybe I should go back and actually watch Magni's performance. Nah, fuck that.
