--Posted by Rock Star: Supernova Producers August 15 August 12One more week and I got to stay to perform a David Bowie song. Cool. I always wanted to do that. I had to top it off with an amazing outfit. The Oscar outfit. That’s how the rockers called me with it. I called it the "Goldmember" outfit. Either way I loved wearing it. I was terrified at first because I can’t believe the situations I put myself into, but once I put it on all my fears were gone and I was transformed. What a thrill. It’s hard to believe that only one of us will stand alone. We have gotten so used to each other. It’s weird. But this week’s shocker was elimination of Jill and Josh. What a coincidence. The house is missing Josh a lot. Especially the boys. They keep acting and talking like Josh all over the place. Josh’s humor was very infectious and it’s catching on with the boys, especially Lukas. This week, I've got a huge challenge ahead of me. After song selection I got to sing my original song on the show. You’ll hear and see all about it because it’s a first and I’m the one everyone is watching--to see what happens to me. I feel very positive about the whole thing. I get a chance to sing in front of the world in my most comfortable way, doing my own song. How great is that? The rest of the variables are just over thinking it. I am excited and ready. Hope you guys enjoy it. Got to get some rest now. Talk to you soon!! Here's my song in English: "Rainy Days" By: Zayra Alvarez Rainy days (sing over the sea) Dripping dry over my wet skin There’s no pain while I’m sinking down You stay still, then you push me back to Where I really want to stay Your crazy waves hitting my hungry hell Until you make me want it. Wait. I see you now. (Still, I can not make you go away) Wait. You bring the sea That’s filling up my room with everything. You’re the wind. Fly over my skin. Bring warm breath. Break up this silence. Look at me eternally damn to you. To your memory That follows me everywhere I go And promises that I will get to know your mystery. Wait. I see you now. I don’t know how to make you go away. Wait. You bring the sea that’s Filling up my room with everything. You follow me everywhere I want to go. You show me things that I don’t want to know. You break me like rainy days. Wait. I see you now I don’t know how to make you go away. Wait. You bring the sea That’s filling up my room With everything. Don’t let me go. No. Why? August 08 August 5Week 5. And it flew as fast as a Rocket. So many things and events I should get started from the beginning.
My week 5 song "Jenny 867-5309." What a challenge. I was really needing a punk rocker song and I had do imagine if I could hear that sound on this song. It took me about 10 minutes during song selection and it hit me. I love the way it came out. I couldn't wait to play it live with the band. All that happened and then all that was left to do was to wait for results. The most scary part of this process is the instant feedback on how you performed under pressure. Also gives me an idea on how people see me and respond to my personality and this crazy path that I chose as a vehicle of expression.
Believe me, I always wanted the freedom to express myself and become someone, even if it's just for 3 minutes on stage. August 02 July 31It’s the morning after a cool party at the Mansion, I’m having a tasteful cup of coffee, writing on my bed, and listening to someone flushing the toilet behind my wall. I guess the babies are slowly waking up. Usually I’m always up before everyone else. The girls, Storm, Dana, Patrice, Dilana and I, are always first in the kitchen waiting for coffee or tea like a pack of sleepy wild dogs staring at a prey. Love my girls. They are a solid power house; beautiful individuals. A Great specimen of womankind. Here, they walk as solitary women, but from the distance they look like giant walking statues, permanent in time. They are so unique, that I can’t help but to study them. Some of them are thinkers, intricate, mysterious, the others are like an open book. Both kinds extremely fascinating, sensual and intelligent. The women of “Rock Star”…solid like stones, full of light like a star. July 29Jason Newsted – Performance Clinic Jam Session Last Thursday we get in the ballroom around noon to find out that Jason Newsted was in there waiting for us with a camera crew and a giant flat screen TV. We were all very exited to have a one on one with Jason to talk about performances on stage. It was completely different than what everyone was expecting but it was everything we were hoping for. We got a clear understanding about the feeling, the responsibility and power that should be present very clearly on whoever fronts Supernova. My most favorite moment was listening to Jason’s story on how he got into music, all the way to becoming the bass player for Metallica and the journey he encountered with its sky high ups and hell deep lows. You can tell there is a nostalgia towards the past, a real life flashback that gets lived once again when you tell your stories. I could see a young 18-year-old Jason leaving his hometown, full of hope for an exiting future, but also scared of the unknown. It takes a brave heart to follow a calling. When you have been gifted with a talent, whatever it is, dreams are not an option. You don’t dream, you obey. You follow a calling and listen to your heart for guidance. You will fight that calling sometimes because it’s clear we are slaves to our calling, but though we will have the toughest road ahead, we will have the most fulfilling life at the end. Week 5 – The Song We are getting read for week 5. The 11 Rockers left (by the way, 11 is my lucky number) have managed to select songs in the most civilized way possible. We are getting good at not panicking. This week I got the Tommy Tutone song called “867-5309/Jenny.” Once again, the song chose me. I had to take my time to visualize myself singing this song. When I did, it was all good. I could feel it clearly and felt confident about the arrangement I kept hearing in my head. It was as clear as listening to some headphones at full volume. No one else put their name down for it. That’s the weirdest thing. I am so excited about it. I can’t wait for you to check it out. I felt a little freaked out when Lukas displayed all 11 songs on the table by the pool. I felt like Alice in Wonderland falling down a while as I was looking at each song and thinking, what the f!! How am I going to find my song when I can barely recognize 3 out of 11? Cnce again, I can’t believe how good hearted everyone is. It warms my heart when I see someone helping out someone else. I felt the love as usual. Storm, my girl, she is another song jukebox. She knows them all. She and Magni are the song libraries. I am so thankful for all the good souls. It makes it pleasant to be isolated here with them. |
