Motley Crue drummer stunned by talents

There's been a lot of talk about the contestants on this year's Rock Star: Supernova TV show, and whether they're really the best for the job. While that's open to debate, Tommy Lee says he was knocked out by the number of qualified singers there were among the 20,000 who auditioned for Rock Star. The Motley Crue drummer and Supernova leader told us: "We narrowed it down to the Top 15, and dude... I mean, yeah, there were some really bad ones, but for the most part, there's a lot of talented people just out there floating around, either didn't get their big break, or haven't been noticed, or... you know, I don't really know a whole lot about their background, but you're like, 'Jesus! There's a lot of talented people just out there, just not really doing anything.'"

Rock Star: Supernova, featuring Lee, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, and one-time Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke, airs Tuesdays and Wednesdays on CBS. The winner will record an album with the group and go on tour.
