We watched Rock Star: Supernova this evening. Many of the performers really needed the people in the audience to jump. They said it a lot.
I need you guys to jump!
Okay, now I really need you guys to jump!
Now I'm going to need you guys to jump!
You know what, would-be rock stars? I think you didn't really need everybody to jump. I think it was a preference that the people jump. You guys ought to be careful with that. You will be the rock stars who cried wolf. What if one day you truly need us guys to jump? What if you're stuck in a tree? Or what if it doesn't work out as rock stars and you become firefighters and we're all in a burning building and you're holding out something soft for us to land on and if we don't jump we will be obliterated by the flames in the room behind us? You didn't think of that, rock stars. You didn't need us to jump tonight. You just would have liked us to jump.
Also, rock stars, if you are performing and you SUCK, our jumping cannot help you - particularly jumping that you guilt us into. That kind of jumping is meaningless, rock stars. It's pity jumping. If the people spontaneously jump, though, bully for you.

True THAT, Monkey! It's like a comedian telling the audience when to laugh!
I was also NOT jumping at home, because they are not the boss of me.
that show blows! i tried to watch it for like 2 seconds and i couldn't because it was too painful... it ain't the idol! that's for sure...
Take it from a real rockstar, Diamond David Lee Roth, that pushy approach is un-called for. For the truly rocking, a modest "Might as well jump!" is all the prompting that the stoked-on-hot-rock audience will need before they go ahead and jump.
My husband has such a love hate relationship with the supernova show. He wails and screams "POSER!!!!" at the tv a million times. He loves only Dilana, but he thinks she will not win, because she is too much for the band. She will steal their thunder. He suspects they will chose boy toy poser Toby.
