Normally I hate reality tv but…

admin | July 6, 2006

…I happened across Rockstar Supernova tonight. Generally I was surprised by the quality of the talent but I just about wet my pants when I heard Dilana. She has an amazing gravelly voice and an intense stage presence which captures and enthralls you and makes you almost afraid to look away.

I am an instant fan and given I spend most of my time bitching about the complete lack of talent displayed by most famous female singers this is a big deal for me.

Check out her performance here, but trust me, the itty bitty screen (and my speakers) don’t do her justice.

Holy fuck am I impressed! I mean for fucks sake she got a standing ovation from Dave Navarro and rendered Tommy Lee speechless!

And just so you know I’ve been singing since I was 14 months old and have performed professionally so I’m not just some couch expert either.

Wow!

Ok I’m probably scaring people now so I’ll shut up :-)

Edit: its now on YouTube :-)

    Hi, just listened to one of her songs. She sounds like she smokes 3 packs a day :-) Kinda like the surprise I got when I saw who Anastacia was (I had this mental picture of a black lady in her 30’s).

    Then I wanted to see the video. But I’m on a Mac:

    Arghhh!!!

    Don’t you have a YouTube account? Flash videos at least work cross-plaform (somethig that you as an engineer should like)…

    Are ‘Australia’s Next Top Model’, ‘America’s Next Top Model’, ‘The Amazing Race’, ‘Faking It’, ‘Road Rage School’, ‘Property Ladder’, ‘Make Me a Million’, ‘A Place in Spain’, ‘Risking It All’, ‘The House of Tiny Tearaways’, or ‘Sports Kids Mums & Dads’ reality TV shows?

    Couldn’t agree more, she totally rocks!

    She reminds me of a more mature Jordis from last season – who kicked ass too btw.
