I was surprised to see Magni in the bottom three again. He did an awesome version of Fire by Jimi Hendrix, but he missed an opportunity! The previous night someone, I think it was Tommy Lee, mentioned that he wanted to see someone break something. I was hoping Magni wouldn’t smash the Gibson Les Paul guitar. But he could have bought a cheap Fender Squire guitar, played, and smashed it. Years ago when I lived in Seattle, I saw Yngwie Malmsteen play a Jimi Hendrix medley. He normally plays a heavily customized Fender Strat, but for this medley he played a Fender Squire Strat (an economy version of the Fender Stratocaster). At the end of the song, he lit the guitar on fire, then smashed it. I managed to grab half the body of the guitar, and still own it. But Magni could have bought a cheap guitar, played it, and smashed, and won some valuable brownie points. I am glad he didn’t smash the Les Paul though.
When they had Toby sit down, it wasn’t any surprise to see Patrice go. I knew Magni wasn’t going anywhere yet.
I don’t even know how Storm Large could have possibly been in the running for the bottom three. Her performance of Cryin was great!
I liked the new original Supernova song. It was better than the first one. But Toby didn’t stand out like Dilana did.
Ryan needs to go. Of the people that are left, Ryan is the person that I most NOT want to see get the job. Toby is the number two guy that I don’t want to see win.

A few weeks ago, I listed my favorites to win. I listed Dilana, Storm, and Lucas. I gave Patrice a nod as she was starting to look promising, but that obviously didn’t last. I am liking Magni more. So I will add Magni. I will also say that Lucas is dimming a little.
