The following statement is my opinion:
The majority of the vocalist this year are definitely lacking, without a clue as to what they're doing and who they're auditioning for.
Last year's 'Rock Star INXS' the vocalist were top notch, presented themselves in a much more professional manner.
I find it hard to believe that for a national contest the current bunch is supposedly the best of the best, if that's the case, how sad it must be for 'Supernova' to have to pick from this group. Most of them are so young, that they were just children when, Gun's N Roses/Metallica/Motley Crue were in their prime. There are a couple that stand out from the pack, but overall the pickins are pretty slim. But then again, I guess I'm just jealous that I'm not up there, so maybe my comments are a bit biased and I'm the one who's out of the loop when it comes to what America looks for in it's talent.
But regardless of my opinion, if I were there, I would still wish each and everyone of them nothing but the best. They may not win the contest, but the publicity and experience that comes from auditioning for a show such as this is priceless.
May the best person win.

P.S. I'm still holding out and hoping that Ozzy will eventually retire and Black Sabbath will give me a call.....
