Dilana - Roxanne (Rock Star: Supernova)

[CavePeople07]

1:28 - 1:48 is the best moving camera shot in the history of all live recorded music.

[MastaDamage]

I'm so in love with Dilana and this is the best i have ever heard of her! lol

[MrAboujanty]

what a voice

[helldx07]

SHE IS NOW LA GUNS!

[MyAndo123]

Looks a little like Debra Messing in this one.

[m8q7]

love her anyway..:)

[DntApply45]

I've loved her since the show!!! Still do just as much, if not more!

[transploft8]

Dilana is G R E A T !!!! First time i've seen her was in Holland 15/16 years ago with her/a band named Cazz! ( or Caz! , don't remember that ).

[TheSevenNation]

oh my god... what a beast!

[misterashley]

So good.

[Sutra1lx]

Dilana's performance of Roxanne was brilliant. But did anyone notice...? Yes, we did! I would love to hear more from her. She has the type of voice and mode that attaches to your musical soul and doesn't let go. Simple rock perfection.

[Veetoria]

She was bloody brilliant!

[DrakrSlyr]

i wanted her to win. lucas made he album shit

[demt69ca]

Really - Dilana lost the moment Lucas staggard out - he stole any light she had in this peformance - he knows what it is here to be a featured singer. hes genuine here and adds so much suportively.- Just LISTEN - If you were the guys you would be wanting to work with him too.

[cgmsg1]

@demt69ca she turned the three of them into her backing band!!

[angelived]

@demt69ca Really? to be honest I noticed the 3 guys but my focus was pretty much entirely on Dilana

[HaiBailei]

The only two that were good: Dilana & Ryan Star.

[HaiBailei]

The only two that were even good: Dilana & Ryan Star.

[loveyoulovers]

I'm glad they didn't choose dilana. she's better without GnR's shittest guitarist, motley crues pathetic wash-up and metallicas bassist who didn't even play on the bands first tour. Shit rolls down hill for them and dilanas career is the one pushing it.

[Rasha5377]

@loveyoulovers Considering Newsted was Metallica's bassist when they sold the most records, I don't think your insult has a whole lot of sting to it. Cliff Burton was the shit, but anyone who tries to dump on Jason doesn't know shit.

[lolmenot]

It´s something about her nose and eyes-area that makes me think of Anthony Hopkins. Normally that´s not a turn on but she kinda rocks my world anyway :D Also killer voice!

[Misscharlatan]

I love her voice! man oh man ben sauders or kim de boer from the voice of holland are not that good as her!

Greetings from holland

[3121destiney]

i fucking loved how she made the boys her little bitches by making them sing back up! :)

[warvics]

LOL doesn't matter who won now...but i gotta say that she kicked ass on this song...great version!!!

[CanObeyComedy]

Clearly the best. 

[AceGuitarR7]

I remember this show. Her magni and Toby were sooooo much better than Lukas

[Xfiness]

Do the math idiots if dilana won the band new addition would steal the starlight but wit a punk like rossi no diffrence would be made get it WLC 2 THE BIZ

[mymingo1]

Can someone really be this cool???I love her she ooozzzess the ultimate cool and what a voice!!

[phatcatgal89]

Just got back from her show.... she's FUCKING AMAZING! I loved every minute of it.

[tvorsatvorsa]

Wow... South African Artist Rocks!

[tomdownard4179]

I think she was knocking out covers, better than some of the originals. This show gave her lots of exposure. I always knew, when she came on the stage, she wasn't going to just phone it in. The judges had enough super ego's, so did she. I want to listen to her, but I don't want to work for her. The tour with her as headline would have been hard for the estabed guys. I don't want to have my 20 years of skills showed up by a newcomer.

[devorahacts]

@tomdownard4179 She'd been at it 10plus years herself. She'd be new to being famous but that's about it. I think it came down to working for a girl.

[toopie123456789]

I have not been able to listen to the Police sing this since Dilana sang her version of it OMG it is so awesome luv luv luv it!!

[gudruneydis1]

I liked Magni more :)

But she rocks 2 :)

[tomdownard4179]

@gudruneydis1 I watched RockStar SuperNova every week. It really did get down to the ego's of the judges and making sure you didn't rub their fur the wrong direction. Didn't have much to do with the talent. I personally thought Dilana won. I still go back and listen to her on youtube. I don't go back and listen to anyone else.

Again it proves that marketing and packaging play a much bigger role than talent.

[telbridget]

Wow, can't beleive i've just stumbled here and found a gem, like Dilana. What a voice..i love her. She sounds like a Tina Turner Progidy. Fab X

[walkinmo]

Fresh off her 2nd Tour for The Troops,

Dee will be entertaining stateside @ 2010 ***

check out her site: dilanarocks

[skinnsberg]

She is awesome!!!

[lionmml]

OMG. Wow. My heart skipped a beat. Well done!!!!!!

[Siamterri64]

I think she personally knew Roxanne , awesome !!

[sophoes]

i was so hoping she'd release this song :(

[rockerxxxqt]

I LOVE her. Just amazing. When this season if Rockstar was on, my 1st baby was 4 months old. I loved her version of Cyndi Lauper's tune. I sang it to my boy. Now looking at this with my 19 month old girl & she was so chill, just intriged:)

[DIVINATORY]

Completely a better singer than lucas..... but, not the sound the band was looking for.... Shame!

[knewok]

shes fuckin fantastic

[r0ck0rle]

she's so freakin' HOT!!!

[walkinmo]

See the Killah Queen of Rock in her upcoming movies "Angel Camouflaged" and "Silence the Movie"

featuring her original songs ***************************

[JingerSK]

@walkinmo Movies?! Dilana?! Whut?! Do not mess with me, I am quite fragile. O_O

[dhurricanexpress]

It's hard to make a Sting/Police song your version without sounding like a copycat and not only she does that, but she KILLED IT!!!!!!!! Great job!!!

[paigethestrange]

she should've won.

[c00per69]

She is awesome... I hope she had children..that voice must continue on........

[pissymissy23]

Wow!

[willowischaos]

Dilana is a goddess.

[eyin11]

SHE IS AMAZING !!!!!

[liquidtenor]

I agree that they would have had a better chance to really be a powerhouse band with Dilana. I'm sure there people who really liked Lukas, but I think there were more who didn't. It makes you wonder what would have happened...

[xtina643]

she has a great and strong female voice! i feel the power!

[TheVleckChannel]

How the fuck did Lucas, who's lame as fuck sings like one of the guys from South Park, lose to Dilana who's a force of nature?

Fuck their insecurities.

[b3njamin0912]

Very good actors and undeniable talent make this a good entertaining show.

[DemMarRox]

I knew it was going to be between her and Lucas at the beginning of the show, I was disappointed when they picked him, but i haven't really heard anything from them so, I guess it was good she didn't get it, cause I can still listen to her.

[JohannaEm]

But maybe if they had picked her they would have made something of themselves :)

[DemMarRox]

@JohannaEm  that's also true, but i saw down the list a ways someone asid she would have overshadowed the rest of the band which is another way of looking at it

[sarahjade81]

This was one of my all time fav songs from the show!!

[darthsadic]

this version kicks ass, I've been looking for the studio version of this with out success.

[skinmelive]

she is a star...wow

[Blockxhead85]

WOW GREAT

[xaouqinz]

she's a great singer..i wonder if she regrets that she won't be able to really sing anything other than rock and roll because of her smoking. i guess it doesn't really matter though, she's great in this element. >:D

[MeghanLourific]

Her voice is what makes her, I don't think she regrets it at all, it's a kick ass voice.

[ewxmusic]

I bet she'd be kick arse in blues or jazz.... not mention she proved herself in pop already with the cover of Time After Time

[devorahacts]

Nah, I've heard excellent Jazz tunes with the smoke thing. No problem.

[alwayswildatheart]

Too good for Superfizzer

[dragspelspaj]

wow... thats awesome

[CutterGrl05]

Still gives me the chills

[governslayer]

she was the best and that meathead lukas won and shouldn't have.

[deadpoetxx1]

Fucking great voice!!!!!

[PoLghgh]

She should have won, it´s so obvious. Those retards of Supernova weren´t good enough to play with her anyway.

[CasperCumbuddyXI]

Yeah, that's why they ditched her. They basically said it would be "the Dilana band" and they'd just be background, which basically showcases their extreme insecurity in working with her.

[jansen281281]

@CasperCumbuddyXI they said that?

[TheMotorCity2011]

@CasperCumbuddyXI Those guys are rock legends. If you think they are insecure then you need to dig a little deeper and learn the truth.

[energycmtep30]

WHAT AN AWESOOME VOICEEE !

[xOxDaronMalakianxOx]

When I first saw this, I was.. speechless. My heart melted. I got goosebumps. Legs went weak.

Best performance I had ever seen from her. She deserved to win soo bad!

[wjs1710]

this blows Suzie McNeil's version out of the water...and hers was pretty good to.

[bakeratlas]

Whata great version, I saw the police sing this live in 1976 in glasgow

[b1ff3n91]

Dilana rocks so f*ing hard!!!

[alwayswildatheart]

I think Sting would give this performance the thumbs up

[CutterGrl05]

I think he did, actually LOL

[NandoBoom3]

She did an awesome job!

[knockout68]

Ok, ok. Let me get this straight. Dilana loses to a tard named Rossi? WHat a fucking joke. Supernova rocks.....ummmmmm......NO fucking way and where are they now to Dilana's sold out solo shows? HA HA HA AHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHHAH!!!!!!! Dilana owns.

[natureboy107]

i agree 2000000000000000000000% dialana or toby shouldve won luckas is a microphone sucking creep

[warvics]

@knockout68 in my opinion..she effin ROCKED!!! untill i looked back on those songs she sang today...she still rocked a few...same with Rossi...great wonder no one has heard from either or...still love to listen to BOTH on youtube tho

[jhniscolV2]

@knockout68

dude she was dropped b/c she is a solo artist, not a band artist

if she were the frontman of the band, it would be Dilana and a band. she would completely stand out With Lukas, it became a band. no one took up the spotlight. they performed as one unit

[TheMotorCity2011]

@knockout68 So who gave you the right to judge. They are all good singers. You may not care for Lukas's voice, but that doesn't mean he isn't a good singer!

[thor6580]

from a distance she looks like Xena Warrior Princess. not putting her down, just saying she looks like Xena in a couple of parts of the video.

[renegadehjkf]

lol. yeah, i agree she does look like Xena at some points

[desperatebrix]

this was her best performance in my opinion..

[Brickhouse321]

She should duet with adam lambert

[CutterGrl05]

how did she bum her leg again? I forgot

[tommybabu]

i wonder wat she is upto these days....and yea she so deserved to win...damn lucas!!!

[Angeleyez2531]

I Love Dilana !!!!!!!!

[11kramsey]

damn this girl is amazing she should have won shes so amazing

[eric370016]

Lucas ruined the end of the song with all the yeah yeah yeah and the long woo. It just shows a lack of respect for the song and the performer. Dilana is such a professional that she did not skip a beat.

[JesseWhite4444]

I always thought Lukas ruined the end of this, I used to think full on that he did it on purpose - but that could just be because I was a hardcore Dilana fan.

Dilana rocked it.

[Baliqo]

I actually love what he does in this song. It so much more than just singing Roxanne. Gives more "fill" to the choir. its extraordinary.

[buffalosbm]

She should have won. I bet if she did, supernova would still be around. Lucas, yeah right(LOL)

[danno700]

Amazing.

[rockinglink]

she's amazing, i love her... her voice is't awsome

[andysilver7]

Top class!!

[metalkaz1234]

klemenz,hey, it shouldnt be too hard to find out that is mistake..hey by the way maybe she is a shemale, you never know. plus , hey l think you are so smart boy, or girl what the hell ever you are?and youare rude little fool

[leideneide]

metalkaz. that's a contradictory nick for a metal mind, u busta. I wonder if you'd rather have sex with dumb-ass-girls just because they wear pink skirts. whatever. this is an overshoted thought for a fucking 20th century. my god! by the way. do you know anyone in scotland? guys use to wear kiuts (skirts) there. u fucked up with no culture.

[leideneide]

she's a woman. she's strong. and she represents every women who live their own lives without depending on some dick-head. fuck you.

does she like boys or girls? i dont mind. you shouldnt. what if she prefer girls? at least she won't meet shit like you around.

[metalkaz1234]

he got a great voice , it is awesome , wow

[klemenz]

he???? i dont thing thats a man...:P

[lynnandsophie]

awesome!

[Pufling]

Well, I think she sings okay. I've heard better, but that was okay (: Eve though I think this song is better song with a little more masculine voice.

[prints183rd]

She is the real deal. That's all there is to say.

[Sonetodecirene]

huuu...scary

[bluefuzzypeach]

that was awsome, i liked how the boys had a part in it as well.

[amauri]

I cannot close my mouth...

[tearsofmisery666]

oh my fucking god, how deaf are the people who say lukas rossi can sing, he is the biggest fag ive ever seen, and his vocals compared to dilana´s are just shit, i can´t belive she didn´t win, i think rossi won because all the bitches liked his gayass emo look fuck rossi dilana is a godess

[Barrr3h]

Dilana could sing, but she couldn't write lyrics for SHIT! Lukas could do both. You're hearing her do a cover, and that's a LOT easier than doing an original!

[tearsofmisery666]

she doesn´t have to know how to write lyrics, that´s something she can learn on the way, plus she would have had great teachers like clarke or navarro to learn from, but having talent is different, and she has it all, lukas is just an average singer i don´t really like his vocals, to tell you the truth they kind of annoy me, but well that´s just my opinion.

[CANTEVE]

I hate lukas too.. oh! and..standing ovation for this song

[Pufling]

Ehm, why are you such a mad person just because the person YOU thought should win didn't win? The world can run after your head. There are millions of other people who also wants the world to go their way, but it just isn't so. You have to live with that (:

[vocalyzer]

Everything about this preformance was perfection. I loved the way the camera circled her to show the boys appear out of nowhere.

[SallyHill]

Excellent lounge tune (love the back up singers, too) - really good job

[obsessong]

Absolutely brilliant.

[DaisyBlueEyes]

She is at her best here...however, I believe Lukas Rossi was the best...he's a rock star.

[hornetchik05]

Dilana is freaking awesome, and this performance just proves she is the best out of all the Rockers.

[Sitarro]

Dilana not only had the right stuff, she played the game with spirit. She knew she was the best and also knew she was at a disadvantage trying to get a job with 3 guys that didn't want to be shown up by an unknown singer. She has more heart, more talent and more drive than any of the rest. She also spoke the truth about a bunch of poser competitors and Dave Navarro is a big pussy for giving her shit about it. Roxanne really couldn't have been done any better by anyone

[spudmacspud]

I watched this last wednesday, today is sunday and i still have chills just thinking about this, Dilana was by far the best singer on the show and supernova obviusly thought that too, because they obviously thought she'd be held back by the restraints of the band. From Night 1 she was the best performer and just cause she didn't win doesn't mean she wasn't the best at the end, it just means she's not right for supernova

[vespeneband]

I'm a toby fan, but I've watched this performance more than any of the others. I have to say this is the best performance of the year. The 3 singing back is priceless. This song placed her back on top after all the circus that has happened. Even if she came in 2nd I can't wait to get her cd.

[moronspotter]

Sorry I know that song and I LOVE that song and she freaking rocked it!! Truly unbelievable. again.

[devonkatze]

i wish she would have won.. Dilana is sooo much better than lucas.. i cant wait till her cd comes out

[cursedpunk]

i agree but she trally needs a good writer in able to do that

[candide127]

Tell that to Michael Bolton, Joe Cocker, and a long list of other performers who made millions yet couldn't write a single line to save their lives.

Mediocre songs and mediocre performances is where insisting everyone be a singer/song writer leads. Oh, that's where we are today isn't it? Why not let the best perfomers choose songs from the best song writers?

[trav4217]

Dilana was good but she didnt deserve to make it soo far

[candide127]

It's better if I say this instead of her - we'll find out on the charts.

By the way, Gilby isn't the only one in the studio with her. The remaining members of No Doubt are spending some time in there as well. Hmmm - I hear they're in the market for a new singer.

[hornetchik05]

She did deserve the place she got, and Im glad she didnt win because she will do so much better without Supernova.

[iuijikilio]

I bet you dilana is gonna sell more albums than supernova

:)

[staarmom]

Did anyone really think that these guys would have a female lead singer???

[Kanthalas]

She is very good at singing. But If I were supernova I wouldn't choose her. She is terrible at lyric writing and she doesn't seem like someone who they'd be able to get along with for months of touring.

I think Toby should win. He may not be the best vocal talent (the other 3 are better than him) but he is always full of eneregy and is amazing at song writing, his original clearly being the best.

[moronspotter]

Yea.. and you really know her after 10 minutes of heavily edited footage. Haven't you got some wallpaper to hang?

[the1337one]

Dilana is officially one of my favorite female vocalists, ever.  I really hope she wins tonight.

[Nauticalstartc]

Sorry but i know that song and love that song... she tanked it.. She only repeated one part over and over again..

[patricknelson]

Do you realize they had to cut all of their songs short for the show? In doing so, they may step on some toes and chop some lyrics/verses in an attempt to get the best sound and still have it fit into the time they've been allotted.

She may have sounded a bit redundant with "Roxanne", but my praise goes more to her talent in performing this rendition as well as displaying her range in tone and pitch.

[granitepeaks1]

@Nauticalstartc Ummm...if you know that song...you'd know that Sting repeats "Roxanne" and "put on the red light" countless times on the original. So obviously, you don't know the song as well as you claim to.

[musicalwonder1]

I'm from Canada.. and i know im supposed to root for lukas because hes from here.. but im sorry .. DILANA IS THE BEST! this is one of my favorite songs she did .. in other songs sometimes you cant tell how good of a singer she is.. but when shes not all hard rock like at the first of this song.. she has an amazing voice.

[yougotfrog]

Wow!

[patricknelson]

My opinion is that this version was much better than the original... I can't get her voice out of my head! The style is nice and she does a great job singing it with her magnificent rock and roll-ish voice.

[hpaich]

I agree, patrick - she is the cream of the crop, and I can't get her out of my head. I really NEED to have a CD by her!

[kuchnahiyaar]

wow. what a comeback!

[gothgirl1986]

she is amazing. the best for sure

[Gennita]

Da best of the night. And she does remind me of Tina Turner.

[yy4u2rel82]

D rox.
