Supernova final too close to call

Rockstar Supernova finalists (clockwise from top left) Toby Rand; Magni; Lukas Rossi and Dilana.

Tonight's the night that Rockstar Supernova decides on the winner. Here's a form guide to the finalists:

* TOBY RAND

From: Melbourne

Who is he again? The St Kilda pub rocker who has become the show's hot favourite.

Distinguishing features: Surfer dude with rooster hairdo.

Why he could win: Because he kind of makes sense when you think about what sort of frontman Supernova need - actually, with a drummer like Tommy Lee they don't really need a frontman, just a singer who kind of looks the part, sounds the part - and he does. And after Canadian J.D. Fortune joined Aussie band INXS in last year's series, there's a certain symmetry in an Aussie getting the job this year.

Why he might not: Well, he's already won the car for best original song, which might be setting him up for a fall. And having a frontwoman instead of a bloke could always make Supernova more of an intriguing long-running soap-opera.

Latest odds: 1/1


* LUKAS ROSSI

From: Canada.

Who is he again? The cocky cool kohl-eyed Canadian who would rather sing his own songs than torture a classic.

Distinguishing features: Many shades of eyeliner and makeup, hair gel galore, and a penchant for looking and sounding like a young Billy Idol.

Why he could win: He looks the part, he writes his own songs and he's got the right attitude. He's been in the bottom three only once during the whole competition, so the fans must love him.

Why he might not: Last week, when he was in the bottom three, he didn't look happy. Plus his appearance could be too flamboyant for the Supernova lads. And often, rather than singing he either yells or sounds constipated.

Latest odds: 6/5


* DILANA

From: South Africa, through Netherlands

Who is she again? The scary pink-haired thing who looks like a rock'n'roll Muppet and sounds like a metal version of Tina Turner.

Distinguishing features: Pink tresses, tattoos, piercings, lack of surname.

Why she could win: She has an unusual, husky voice, a menacing presence and a theatrical, dynamic singing style. And we'd be surprised if the boys didn't feel threatened by her.

Why she might not: We'd be surprised if the boys didn't feel threatened by her. Hell, she hurled a glass at Magni's face and told a reporter she wanted to strangle Lukas. Maybe not the best person to share a tour bus with.

Latest odds: 3/1


* MAGNI

From: Iceland

Who is he again? The aloof iceman who plays a mean Radiohead on keyboards.

Distinguishing features: Bald, with a slight scar on his forehead because Dilana threw a glass at him, prominent goatee, with steely and icy eyes. Like Dilana, and Bjork, has only one name.

Why he could win: The boy can sing, he's a musician's musician, and give him a song and he will nail it. He's also experienced, having released six albums in his native land.

Why he might not: Overall he's too reserved and lacks both the flamboyance and filth needed for Supernova. Plus back home he's in a pop band.

Latest odds: 2/1
