There was never any doubt that Lukas Rossi would strut his way to the final four on Rockstar: Supernova.
From the very beginning last June, the Toronto singer has had the look, voice and especially the ‘tude. Except for stumbling into the bottom three last week — when showy Storm Large was eliminated — he’s always looked like the frontrunner.
Now he has a great shot at succeeding another Canuck — INXS’s J.D. Fortune — as Rock Star champion.
In Wednesday night's finale, he’ll have to beat Australian Toby Rand, Iceland-native Magni Asgeirsson, and South African-born, Houston-based Dilana Robichaux, all trying to become the lead singer of the new group Supernova. Drummer Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), guitarist Gilby Clarke (Guns N’ Roses) and bassist Jason Newsted (Metallica) will make their choice.
Rossi told The Toronto Sun Monday night that he is confident going into the final. “I think we have to be at this point, man,” he said on the phone from the stage of the show in Los Angeles. “We’ve come so far that to not feel confident at this point would be a pretty detrimental thing.”
He described a bold plan to make one last statement on the final performance hour: To sing Coldplay’s Don’t Panic — a cappella. “I just want to try something new,” he says. “The boys in Supernova, they’re looking for a singer, right? They know I can perform. I just gotta showcase my true voice, not be covered up by the band.”
Win or lose, Rossi says he’ll look back on this summer as the best one that “I’ve ever had or ever will have.” After 13 weeks cooped up in the Rock Star mansion, he’s anxious to get out, “although I’ll miss the keg,” he says.
