Getting there
The ticket said to be there 15-20 mins before 845am at CBS Studios in Hollywood before the taping to park annd get in line.
We got there just as they said, 815am, but omg, the amount of people there was insane. And the parking structure was far away.
But i should have expected it.
Inside
The studio was amazing. I've been to live tapings before, in US and Singapore (Even the "Live on 5" hosted by Gurmit Singh) and this was definitely one of the most spectacular live taping studio atmospheres ever! It was really set like a rock concert.
Ok, for those of you who follow the RockStar show, you know the area where the crowd stands? It's about a little bigger than a street soccer court. There's audience seated in the back, and above (kinda like a gallery upstairs, great view of the stage but u cant see Supernova, they are under u).
The "throne" area i call it, where Supernova and Dave sit, is amazingly extravagant. They are actually sitting on lavish thrones, very rock star king.
And the lights are ridiculously massive, omg, they can do anything, welcome to Hollywood baby.
(SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
HOLD ON, if you haven't seen the where Supernova chose the next person to play with them on their Second original song, then don't read on until you watch it!
Ok, the episode that day was the elimination as well as the 2nd chosen rocker to sing with supernova.
Toby was chosen. But i felt that Toby's performance wasnt that big deal. Also, i do agree with many people that Supernova's songs are pop, not very rock. The song was like the "Hey hey hey HEY! Ho ho ho HO!" kind. Sigh.
That day was so drama. Dilana got slammed for ratting on Ryan and Lukas. But, being a Dilana fan, i think its really what the media made of her. She really didnt mean a lot of what she said in that way. For example, she said something as a joke, but the cameras cut off the laugh and smile after that, and pretty much took it as a straightforward comment. Thats Showbiz. Watch what u say.
Then, Magni did an awesome "Fire" by Hendrix. OMG. Actually i was fixated to the drummer. he was MAAAAD! I'm sure i dun have to tell u how good he is, but he's GOOD.
Patrice is too nice for a rock star. And she's too tame.
Throughout the show, I was looking at Storm. She's NUTS! She wore this very short skirt and didn't really care about modesty hhaha. She is bascially very hyper.Even when the cameras not on her, she's like in her own world.My friend says she's weird haha.
During the intervals, one girl took off her bra and gave it to Tommy to sign, hahaha! And she was so proud of it. I like Tommy the best among them all, he's the coolest.
They do say words like "shit" and "fuck" in the show, but of cos they don't air it. Hahaha. "That was the SHIT bro!" but thats rock n roll baby.
Here's something strange. If you have been to live tapings, during the intervals where they either change the set, or commercial breaks, they may have a host coming out to entertain the crowd or have music playing etc. There was a host, very good host, he was funny and he worked the crowd. Sometimes the break is too short for him to do anything, so they play music. Guess what. They play Hip Hop. Wah piang.
One minute i'm head banging to Nirvana, they next minute.............
"How come everytime you come around my Lon-don Lon-don bridge wanna go down.My Lond-don, Lon-don, Lon-Bree!"
I wanna say something in hokkien, but maybe i shouldn't. But it's the most common thing to say after "Lun-"
Anyway!
So the show was amazing. They had LCD TV screens all around too, to make sure every single person in the audience can see something. It was cool to watch the screen, to see what u will see on TV, and when i look down, its them right in front of me, physically live. Cooolness.
After the show, while we were walking out of the studio, as we turned the corner, Dilana, Ryan and Lukas came out! Lukas wanted a smoke. and everyone just flocked to them to take pictures etc. So cool, they were like right next to me, dangit, no camera.
Dilana's my fav. She will win.
I've got tickets to go next wed again! Woohoo!
I love being in LA!
And Jars of Clay performing live somewhere close to me this weekend. Free.
Sorry, no cameras were allowed, i would have loved to take some bootleg shots and post them, but sigh. this is all i can prove i was there. Its pathetic.
