"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.

16. Zayra looks like someone that guys would like to watch, but watch her on TV so you can turn the sound down. I agree, they've kept her on the show to see what she does next. I can't believe she wasn't in the bottom three this week!!!

19. It is unfortunate that people think that Zayra is untalented, and that the reason that she is still on the show is to help them gain ratings. So unique equals no talent? I think she is better than some of the other "rockers" on the show. At least she is fun. unpredictable, and she is very TALENTED. It is sad that people have closed minds in regard to "some latino chick" leading a great rock band. Also I think it is comical that people say that she cannot pronunciate correctly, however there are plenty of Americans who cannot pronunciate properly. Sad, sad world! Go Zayra! And if she doesn't make it in this band, she is going to make it as a solo artist because she is that talented!

20. She is awful and I can't believe someone called her gorgeous. She is far from it.

22. Are you kidding me?
This pathetic attempt for a singer makes me cringe whenever she stands up on stage. And yes i do agree that the only reason she is still on the show is to bring in the ratings! She drives me crazy and her remarks to Supernova after they consistently put her down, are ridiculous! She can't even pronunciate any of the lyrics?!?!?! She's just a joke, and even Supernova said this week that the only reason they're keeping her around is to see what the freak is gonna do next!

27. Zayra rocks! Shes not right for Supernova, but I do think she has talent, and shes really really hot! I love her outfits too, I hope she stays for the whole season she will definetly not win but who cares its fun to watch her and the judges as well as de public seem to think so too.

30. She sucks!!!! Holy sh*t I can't even believe she is "news worthy" What the hell, they need to boot her lame ass. This season totally sucks. Dilana is the chick to watch if you can handle this lame ass show. Tommy Lee's band HA! HA! will go down in flames, pretty much like anything he has done music wise since the "crue"
