RBL Rock Star:
All Stars
It's the final week! And we have three very worthy contenders. Will the final winner, our Ultimate Rock Star, be the only singer who never hit the Bottom Three in the entire game? Or will it be the guy who hit the B3 so many times we lost count, but who made it through again and again, because it seems everyone loves him? Or will it be the singer who hit the B3 with the a huge target on his back, as the winner of season one, and managed to survive?
This is the week we find out! This is the week we crown the RBL Rock Star: All-Stars Ultimate Rock Star. Try and say that three times fast...
Stay tuned for some of the best performances you've seen in the whole game. This will not be the week to skip the performance clips and just vote - you will want to watch these clips again and again! Not only will you see the best from Rock Star, but we'll also be seeing the best from INXS, Juke Kartel, and the Lovehammers. It's going to ROCK!
