"Rock Star: Supernova's" Breakout Star

Tommy Lee and Dave Navarro may be established musical bad boys but to catch some true rock star antics on CBS' "Rock Star: Supernova" check out gorgeous contestant Zayra Alvarez.

With her lively and outrageous performances of The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" and "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence, the Puerto Rican songstress has stolen the show and become the one to watch this season.

Unfortunately, despite haunting renditions of REM's "Everybody Hurts" and K's Choice "Not an Addict," Zayra has routinely landed in the bottom three.

But since you never know what she is going to do, say (her sassy retorts to the judges' critiques are worth the price of admission alone) or wear next, fans are tuning in just to catch the latest episode of the Zayra show.

A fact that even the judges, Navarro and Lee, pointed out on this week's episode.



A mix of Blondie's Debbie Harry with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O, Zayra's fashion forward ensembles (like the blue skin tight catsuit or her cape, gloves, and boots superhero trifecta) are a welcome change to the standard rock star uniform of black jeans, tank tops and wrist cuffs.

Zayra has the potential to become a musical fashion icon - think Gwen Stefani or J.Lo but edgier.

And if Zayra winds up on top at the end of the competition, the leggy Latina may find that the hardest part of the gig isn't winning but fending off Tommy Lee while on tour.

Check out Zayra Alvarez in all her glory on "Rock Star: Supernova" Tuesdays at 9pm on CBS.

154. Yeah of course the show is lame and so is Supernova (where'd they get that name anyway???) Geez, I did watch Rock Star last time and had fun, but told myself I would NOT watch this time....but last night, channel surfing, I came upon Zayra and her defending performance-it was FAB!!!! I agree with JC on Aug 3rd...she's not right for Supernova but she has a great schtick! Her voice is supposed to crack in those song spots....she was terrific. Go Latina's!!!

156. I realy like the show but i cannot stand Zahra( or how ever you spell it) She has no talent what so ever! I realy was pissed when jill and the other guy went home because i thoought that it should of been her and patrice ..Jill and the other guy where not my favourites but they deserved to go to Vegas Over those chicks .....Patrice wears no make-up ....even the guys do so wtf! i dont like either of them so i am glad that sluty nutcase went home THANK GOD! but when will patrice go...hmm
I thought zahras best preformance was her Origional (even that wasn't so good)but they are not looking for Pourto Rican Sluty ...confident (i dont know why) lead singer......(no offence to Peorto Ricans ..sry for spelling) anyway yay shes gone ....oh ya and y was magni in the bottom 3??????!!!!!

157. ZAYRA.......SUPRISED SHE LASTED AS LONG AS SHE DID.....SHE SURE DID SCREW UP A FEW GOOD SONGS....AS FOR WHO MIGHT WIN........I'D LIKE TO SEE MAGNI OR TOBY TAKE IT......IF DILANA WINS...I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD LISTEN TO HER ON A CD FOR VERY LONG......MAGNI OR TOBY...I COULD HANDLE LISTENING TO THEIR VOICE A BIT MORE......I'D BUY THE CD

158. All you "Gimme a Break" cliche meisters relent. She has spirit that pushes through the crap despite a not great voice - definitely entertaining to experience - her own song was excellent as was her rendition of the band that Supernova had not heard of. BTW, has anyone noticed that Supernova's own tunes barely rock and are extremely derivative?????????? Definitely a place for her near the top of the entertainment universe with all the drivel that passes as talent. Plus had the most eloquent and precise departing speech so far = GUTS galore...more than a catsuit!!!! suckerzzzzzzzzzz.

159. Zayra was awful. I could not wait until she got voted off. She could not hold a pitch and she only has theatrical ability which she should use as an actress if you can understand what she is saying. I think that she thought this competition was a Halloween contest and not a serious competition to sing with three very talented and cool men. I am glad she is gone.
Now Dilana has been kicking it from the start and isn't it obvious that she is going to win? And she is beautiful and is the real deal !!!! I can't wait until the last show when she wins.........................

160. Just the fact that she was always in the bottom three should tell you something. I think that she lasted as long as she did so the guys in the band could have something to talk about. When she was on, it was bathroom break time!!!!!

161. She dresses that way to detract from her poor singing abilites.

162. While her vocals are poor she is very entertaining and does have her moments. Her changing 867-5309 (Jenny Jenny) from an 80's pop song into a Punk rock lesbian anthem was a stroke of brilliance. Yes, in no way shape or form is she right for this band, but she does have merit as an entertainer.
