Rockstar Supernova taping July 16, 2006
Seeking the gig of a lifetime, Rockers, aka Rockstar: Supernova Wannabees, awaited the opportunity to impress and possibly become the lead singer for Supernova, comprised of legendary rockers Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Gilby Clarke (Guns ‘N Roses), and Jason Newsted (Metallica). Dave Navarro (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Brooke Burke returned once again to play host from last summer’s success Rockstar: INXS.
The CBS studio air-conditioned stage reminds one of the Mayan, a once popular nightclub or reminiscent of a temple to the sun god, hence the name Supernova.
Glancing at the audience, one wonders how they all made it there. Beside me were friends of camera men, the band, CBS executives and friends. If you don’t know someone in the know, you can also obtain tickets from Audiences Unlimited (www.tvtickets.com) or audience tickets given out at Venice Beach and Santa Monica Beach and the Santa Monica Promenade for ten.
Warming up the audience were Rockstar: Supernova production personnel leading the audience in sounds effects, later to be edited in and to be televised on Tuesday – the applause, the agreement applause, oohs(males, females, and both together).
How tough is it to select the lead singer of Supernova? For the band members, they’re able to hear and see the Rockers with a variety of music and situations, with cameras catching their off-stage persona. Stage presence, vocal range, audience connection, ability to connect, work with and represent the image of Supernova, amongst who know how many “intangibles” will make the right fit.
They want some that understands that someone in the nose bleed section of where they will be preforming is just as important as those in the VIP section
They also have to be able to belt out popular tunes, and they do have them in their set, as well as their hard rock tunes.
As we heard often throughout the taping, “we’d like to see more of you” as expressed by Dave Navarro and Tommy Lee, to the females.
Finally these men are very knowledgeable about what is going on and articulate well.
