Rockstar Supernova Runners-up: Where are They Now?

Rockstar Supernova Runners-up: Where are They Now? by Roxanne McDonald

We know Lukas the genius is frontin’ the band, but what’s going on with the other equally fine performers?

We have been blessed with utterly awesome rock, by way of two seasons of “Rock Star…”—“Rock Star INXS” and “Rock Star Supernova”. But we might then lose track of those laying great tracks after the show is over. If we search (and it doesn’t take much, we can find info on the other “Rock Star Supernova” favorites:

According to such info sites as the blog Cuzoogle (don’t know if there is an affiliation, there) and contributors, Wikipedia contributors (who typically give us the most thorough of details and data), and other official and unofficial fan sites, the runners-up of “Rockstar

Supernova” have resounded their resilience:
Storm Large, the sassy super songstress who kept Tommy Lee’s tongue in his mouth, has appeared a number of times on FOX Reality TV; is touring the club circuit; was originally slated to open for Rockstar Supernova but—according to Wiki—was dropped due to “financial reasons”—and has produced such singles as “Ladylike”, which made it to # 5 on the “Hot Sexy Singles” billboard chart.

Dilana Robichaux, another dynamo who almost made it into the lead role for Rockstar Supernova, has taken her musical talent to a debut album, Wonderfool; has done (also according to Wiki) four music videos, five singles, and performed more than 200 gigs; has sung the title tracks for two movies; and performed at a Belgium festival with Joe Cocker, Heather Nova, and K’s Choice–where a crowd of 100,000+ rocked to her throaty brilliance.

Magni Ásgeirsson blogs his progress, so suffice it to say here that he has been super successful on his home turf: with Á Móti Sól (his band) a chart-topper in Iceland, Magni has produced six albums (two of which went gold, reports a Wikipedia writer); has toured consistently everywhere in Europe from Luxemburg to Liverpool; and continues to perform with his “favorite people,” those in Canada and those he hopes to keep doing duets with, fellow rockers like Áms and Dilana.

Toby Rand, the Aussie who brought us “EVS” (meaning, “whatever”) by way of his sexy, shirtless self has made a

success with band Juke Kartel, for which he fronts, touring from Capistrano to Colorado to Canada; opening for such super well-knowns as Nickleback; and working on an album in L.A. which is due for release in 2007.

And Ryan Star, who was consistently dubbed the “dark horse” of the competition, came out with an album titled, appropriately, Dark Horse: A Live Collection; and is purportedly looking at being known as S. Star (foregoing the “dark horse” moniker and playing on the “superstar” name/image?).

All that’s left to ask now is when the next installment of “Rockstar…” will commence! And who will be hunting for a front man/woman: maybe a neo-Sabbath? Maybe, if I got my first choice, Aerosmith?
