Grant you that, she does have a nice voice and perhaps I will learn to appreciate her more, if and when, she puts out future cd's. I haven't heard "How come..."

Actually, I think that all the Canadian Idols have been pretty good. Unfortunately, I don't think they get the best material to work with after the fact. Nor do I think they get enough exposure after the season's over. It's as if they need a summer replacement show, and once it's over and the American TV season kicks in, the C.I. winner is abandonned. Why doesn't CTV give the C.I. a 1 hour TV special? Maybe a Christmas special which would come out about a month after the finale, and the winner is named. But no, there isn't a lot that happens post-Idol. It's kind of disappointing, but it seems like it's happened every year.

Hi Lou...........

I don't think CDN Idol has found a worthy singer to make it famous just yet. We had some great singers fall through the cracks like American Idol but maybe this season a true star will be born!

I was really, really pleased with last night's Guy's show. There are some really good ones there. Some bad, too, don't get me wrong, but they showed a lot of promise. This could turn out to be a very good season.

I think the rocker from Cape Breton should go though. He seemed way too exaggerated. I don't know if he's genuine, or if he is faking it, but it just didn't work for me. A couple of others weren't to good, but all in all there were a fair number of good ones. I really liked Liam Styles Chang, the last guy. Who would have expected such a big voice from such an unassuming guy.

I think this could be a fun Idol summer. Let's hope the girls are as good tonight.

Yes, the Cape Breton guy was terrible. I thought the judges were going to kick his arse for that lousy performance??!! I could have sung like that for crying out loud. It was a corny Kareoke performance!

JD Bixby was good. He will have to mix it up to stay in the competition but he has a great voice. The other's names I can't remember but yes there was some good ones.

Try going to http://www.ctv.ca/idol/gen/Home.html

Poke around there and you may be able to find stuff. If not, let me know and I'll see if I can find out more.

The girls weren't as good as the guys I didn't think. There are some good ones, don't get me wrong, but I think the guys may be stronger this season. Tonight the eliminate 2 of each. It will be interesting to see if the really bad/weird rockers go. I am not convinced they are serious. I think that they may be trying to mock the concept of the show, because they are way over the edge. Let's see what the voters think.

Funny enough, I liked the two rockers. I know the little one is different but that's what I like about her. She reminds me of the female version of what's his name, Lucus, that won Rock Star last year.

which one was mila? What did she sing? I actually liked one of the two gals that were sent home. I can't remember her name but I loved the song she did and how she sang it. The judges said it was terrible and the audience obviously agreed but I liked it. She had the long brown hair and she was from Quebec.

I didn't care for that girl that they last eliminated. At first I thought she was great but then I found that I wanted more oomph out of her performances. She didn't wow me at all. The person before that was the rocker chick wasn't it? So far so good for me, I have agreed with all the eliminations. That doofus with the blond hair which he liked to shake was a joke LOL. The guy from Cape Bretton, I couldn't handle him.

Thankfully Jaydee is still in! His song wasn't that great last week and I was worried about him but he made it through!! He said he couldn't hear himself sing so he was too fast when he started off singing and his song choice wasn't that great IMO. I have a feeling he has a huge support of voters from Alberta so hopefully he'll see it through to the end if not the winner. I'm hoping he'll be the winner.

Eileenacanadian
07-30-2007, 10:23 AM
Actually I have another favorite that I would love to see win it. His name is Matt Rapley. If Jaydee and Matt make it to the final three I would be very happy. Carly is good too so that's my bottom 3 pick. Check out Matt here. He is the second performer. The first performer I used to like but she's getting old for me. So Matt is second so check him out!!! The 3rd guy wrecks an awesome song IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLF1I0gTkLM

I've been so frustrated trying to find some chatter about Canadian Idol. I loved the AI season, and chatting all season long. Unfortunately with CI, there has been nothing on this site (or very little), so I had to resort to a different site, and it's been terrible. It's so great to find you guys chatting, so I'm getting caught up.

I really liked Jaydee before this week. He was terrible this week though, but he's only 16, and he has a lot of growing to do. Jordan had a terrible week on the Rock week, and she still pulled it off, so maybe he can recover.

Personally, I really don't like Matt. I can't understand why they keep saying he's the best singer - I totally disagree, although, last week, he was fabulous. This week, he could have done really well, be he didn't heed Enriquo's advice. Speaking of Enriquo (is that how you spell it?), he was FANTASTIC last night. May be my new fave.

I think Marth Joy definitely was the best singer in the group, but she just could not perform, or at least pick good songs - don't they get help and advice from anyone other than the weekly celebrity, who only spends 10 minutes with them?

Carly Rae and Greg are the standouts to me. I'm picking them both to be in the final two, which will be interesting if I'm right, 'cuz they're both from BC.

I also like Brian, but from reading other sites, I don't think he has a strong fan base. I think he's a really strong performer, but unfortunately, he's got a definite style that doesn't appeal to everyone, and he picks songs that he likes, but the audience doesn't necessarily like, which will probably be his downfall.

I'd love to hear other people's opinions.

Hey Loulou,

Are you from BC? If so, where abouts? I'm in Vancouver. I love Jaydee and would like to see him go far. He is talented, no question! I do love Matt! I love his voice. So Jaydee, Matt, Carly and Greg are my favorites. I think Martha Joy has a nice voice but she's not my style. She is only 16 right? She is so confident for her age Jaydee too. It blows my mind how confident they are.

Nope, not from BC, it's just that this year I think the best ones come from BC. Personally, I thought that Liam Styles was the very best, and how he ever got eliminated pre-top 10 is beyond my imagination. He, too, was from BC, and I put it down to the fact that there just wasn't enough room for 3 people from the same province - either due to the producers (????) or because the votes just got split poorly. In any case, I think that's were the winners coming from this year.

I'm from the Toronto area, but from a talent/voting perspective, I never vote for someone based on their region of the country. I don't care where their from if they have talent. In fact, now that I think about it, I've always tended to like the people from the western provinces best. Year 1: Billy Klippert - Calgary, Year 2 - Kalan Porter - Alberta, Year 3 - Melissa, Alberta, Year 4 - Tyler, Saskatchewan. All from the west. However, I really don't like Matt this year at all, and Jaydee, is just too young to win it all. So, this year my vote is for BC all the way, although, I must admit, I really think they're all pretty good this year. Probably better than most other years as a whole.

How do you like our judges? I love em!!!

It's pretty cool how a lot of talent is coming from BC this year!

What I like about CDN Idol vs American Idol is that our singers seem to sing more up-to-date stuff. Svetts from another board thinks Canadian Idol looks like America's Top Model because most of the contestants are pretty good looking lol. I think CDN Idol is getting better and better with every passing year. I like our host a lot, Ben, but he seems a little stiff this year?? He's always such a nice guy to all of the contestants and that's what I like about him.

Svetts from another board thinks Canadian Idol looks like America's Top Model because most of the contestants are pretty good looking lol. I think CDN Idol is getting better and better with every passing year. I like our host a lot, Ben, but he seems a little stiff this year?? He's always such a nice guy to all of the contestants and that's what I like about him.

Originally, I really didn't like the judges, but they grew on me. I couldn't stand Ben either, and I heard that Jon Dore, who was the comic in the early years, actually auditionned for the host job, and although they gave it to Ben they liked him too, and created that role for him. I thought he would have been a better host. But, over time, I got to like Ben quite a lot. However, I can't find many people here that like him much.

Now, after saying that they all grew on me, I'm having a bit of a problem with the judges this year. I really like Farley, I think he's the best judge by far, and although I often agree with Zack, I'm not always comfortable with how crass he can be. I think he tries too hard to be the Simon of Cdn. Idol. And Jake never seems to crack a smile. Apparently he and Zack HATE each other, and it's hard for them to be in the same room together. Since I heard that, it's really quite obvious. Jake will almost always have some snide comment about what Zack says, and when he agrees with him, he almost apologizes for it. This has really interfered with my watching them this year. And Sass, does she ever really say anything valuable? Like this week, she said to Jaydee, "you tried something different, and I appreciate that". So, was he good or not???? She's supposed to be a judge, so judge, don't just make a comment that cannot be interpretted.

But, even though it sounds like I don't like them, I actually do. On Cdn. Idol, the competitors are the stars of the show, not the judges. That's what makes us different than American Idol. The judges do not try to steal the show.

I agree that Ben's always nice to the contestants, but so's Ryan on Amer. Idol. I think when you're dealing with young, fragile contestants, you have to be able to pick up the slack after potentially bad comments from the judges. Do you ever watch E-Talk? That's where I really started to like Ben. I think he's much more comfortable in that setting.

I had a dream that I was engaged to Ben and he took me home to meet Mila. That's when I knew that I must be starting to like him. But, as I say, I don't know anyone who watch CI anymore, because they can't stand either Ben or the judges, but I keep trying to convince them that if they give it a chance, and stick with it, they all grow on you.

Hi Lou!

I enjoyed reading what you had to say. I love Farley he's my fav! I love his style lol. He's over the top with his style but it looks good on him. Last year was worse between Zack and Jake from what I saw. I get the impression that they are trying to back off from each other this year. So I do believe there is no love between them but they are keeping somewhat away from each other. I like Ben better than the other guy you mentioned. I did'nt know the comic guy was considered to be the host. I rarely pay attention to the comic guy. He's the guy that mingles with the people during the first round of auditions right? I think Ben is somewhat nicer than Ryan. I think Ben is genuinely kinder and Ryan is kind but I see a difference not that it matters. I couldn't stand our judges 3 years ago but now I really like them a lot!

That's hilarious about your dream LOL! The last star I dreamt about was Owen Wilson. I dreamt that we were partying on a luxury bus with Simon Cowell. I was sitting in my seat and Owen Wilson grabs a guitar and starts walking over to my seat singing a song! He was flirting with me and I was so up for that. I got up from my seat and we started dancing and them my fricken alarm went off!! uggghhhh!

Maroon 5 takes to Canadian Idol stage for pop/rock week
Updated Wed. Aug. 8 2007 4:09 PM ET


A week after Greg Neufeld was eliminated at Top 7, his favourite bands will take to the Canadian Idol stage: the platinum selling Maroon 5. Talk about unfortunate timing.

The look on Neufeld's face when next week's act was announced on Tuesday's show clearly indicated his disappointment, and who could blame him. One of the most popular pop/rock acts in the world right now, Maroon 5 are known for soulful vocals, catchy hooks and a string of danceable hits.

Based in Los Angeles, Maroon 5 is made up of Adam Levine (lead vocals, guitar), James Valentine (guitar, backing vocals), Jesse Carmichael (keyboards, backing vocals), Mickey Madden (bass guitar) and Matt Flynn (drums).

Their debut album "Songs About Jane" features hits "This Love," "Harder to Breathe," "She Will be Loved" and "Sunday Morning." It hit quadruple platinum status and earned the band two Grammy awards.

Now, after a four year interim period, they are promoting their second album "It Won't Be Soon Before Long." Their first single from the new CD, "Makes Me Wonder," is currently number one in Canada on Nielsen SoundScan's Hits Chart.

"We love Canada and our Canadian fans and are really looking forward to performing on Canadian Idol," said a statement issued by the band on July 12, the day CTV first announced Canadian Idol's guest lineup for the season.

The band will perform on Tuesday's results episode and will also be featured in Monday's performance show where they will comment on the songs the Top 6 has chosen.

If song selection on the show so far is any indication, they'll be facing a sympathetic demographic. Two Maroon 5 songs have already been featured on Canadian Idol performance nights: "Sunday Morning" was sung by Andrew Austin on Top 18 week and Neufeld's took on "This Love" on Top 22 week.

I can't believe Greg got the boot!!!! He was the whole package! I didn't have my hopeful winner locked in yet but he should have gone to the last three standing!! Ben the host said Canada got it wrong and had everyone stand and give him a standing ovation.

What a shock!!! I couldn't believe the bottom three. Just like Jake said, they were all my top three. Unbelievable. I was sure that they were going to go to a commercial and come back and tell us that it was a mistake and they were the top three. I totally agree with Ben when he said "Canada got it wrong" - big time!!!!

Now I really can't undertand what the heck Canada is voting for. For the Queen night, every one of the remaining 4 who weren't bottom 3 were far worse than those 3 - what's going on?

I voted for Carly Rae 5 or so times, and I must admit, I was a tad surprised that I got through so easily. In other years, I remember getting so many busy signals. I didn't think for a second though that it was because she would be bottom three. If she and Brian go, I'm not sure that I'll have any interest left in the show. Of course, I'll keep watching, but don't really think that any of the others have any real appeal. I think Jaydee and Tara both have a good chance for a Nashville career, but not for Canadian radio, not Toronto radio anyways.

I'm hearing a lot of Kalin Porter's new song, and although I initially thought it wasn't so great, I really like it now.

Yeah, that's too bad. We're lucky up here because we get all the American TV, Canadian TV, and we import the best of British TV.

I can't wait for tonight's show with Maroon 5. I also want to hear if they say anything about a rumour I heard that last week the phone lines were screwed up, which may account for why the best three were all in the bottom three last week. I don't know if I buy it, but it sure would explain the way that vote went.

JD is a great singer but he's not CDN Idol material, I don't care for Dwight, I don't like the country gal but I like Matt and Carly. I think Brian has a good voice but I don't like his song choices. For me Carly and Greg were awesome competition for each other but now he's gone. I just have one winner in mind now and that is Carly.

For me Carly and Greg were awesome competition for each other but now he's gone. I just have one winner in mind now and that is Carly.

I agree, but not totally. I think Matt's terrible. He's a nice enough, shy guy, but and his Whipping Post week was great, but every other week, his singing has been rather poor. I think Zack was right about that last night. But, Carly Rae is my favourite. I agree that Greg and her were the only real competition in this, and now he's gone. She's been bottom 3 twice, which makes me think that the voters are just wrong this year. Really wrong. I, too, like Brian, and totally agree that he's picking the wrong songs for this type of competition. I think the songs he's singing are perfect for his type of voice, but he's not considering the audience/voters. The judges recognize it, and as Zack said last night, because the judges are saying they (Greg, Carly Rae, Brian) are good, probably they'll get kicked off, so I fear either Carly Rae or Brian are gone tonight.

Tara's song last night was so Mickey Mouse. Jaydee was terrible. I agree that by the time Matt sang he was probably the best of the night by then. Carly Rae was fantastic. I've even got my husband watching her, and really liking her. Brian was fabulous, and then there was Dwight. He cannot sing at all. He should stick to his guitar playing and give up the singing.

The judges were very harsh last night. I think they were really angry about Greg's departure the week before, and decided that there's no more Mr. Nice Guy. They called it as it was. If Carly Rae or Brian don't win, there is not future for the ultimate winner. None of the other four can sing very well at all. I think the show will lose a lot of credibility if that happens.

I have to agree that Matt is blowin lately?? I know he has it in him to belt out a good song but these last few weeks he's been off?

Did you see the friction with zack and that other judge who hates him last week? That was something else! It seemed like he was just waiting for an excuse to rip zack's head off. Sadly, Zack was right with his critique on Greg. He should have rocked that Queen's song but he did it in his own way and style. That judge said he advised him to do it that way and then Greg gets the boot. I like that judge but he goofed bad!

So finally Canada got one right. Tara's gone, and although I think she's got the ability, she still needs a lot of coaching. That song last night was incredibly cheezy, and sometimes she's just too mouthy with the judges. But yet again, Carly Rae was bottom 3. What the heck is wrong with the voters?

What was up with the the way Zack was dress tonight?

Yeah, I think you're right. Jake and Zack clearly can't stand each other, and I thought last week Jake was finally going to burst. He has been keeping his cool, but he couldn't hold back last week at all. I wonder why CTV feels compelled to keep them both when it's so obvious that they don't like each other. I really is bothering me a lot this year. I wonder how they do it in the early days when they spend days on end together with the big groups of contestants. They must be paid very well to be willing to spend so much time with someone they dislike so obviously.

I missed seeing Zack tonight, drats! How bad was he dressed lol?

I said the same thing as you when Tara got the boot, Canada finally got one right! Amen to that! And yes what a cheeeeeesy song. Even when she got up tonight to do the same song I couldn't handle it! When she danced her way to her parents and they started singing with her I said oh how fricken corny is that LOL! What a corny, corny performance. I'm glad she is gone. Jaydee has a huge following I think. He never looks nervous on elimination night. He is like Sanjaya but with talent. He should have been in the bottom 3 a few times but never has, right? I don't recall ever seeing him in the bottom 3. If Carly ends up going home early the show will suck.

Sounds like we're both on the same page with this, but you like Matt and I don't. I totally agree that the Jaydee thing is Sanjaya-like. I hope this isn't the direction of Idols going forward. We lose good talent that way, for a little fun to some people. Vote for the Worst was promoting Jaydee earlier, so maybe that's why he's still in this, and never been in the bottom 3. I thought he had such a wonderful, strong voice early on, but I thought he was a little nerdy, in need of a makeover. Then on week 1 of the file 10, when they were all given makeovers, I thought "wow", he's going to do it. He looks great now, and he's so young, but he's got such a powerful voice, but he's gone down hill. He's replaced the power with a twang, and he looks awkward on the stage. His time is long overdue.

I really think Brian has hope. He has a great stage presence if you like his song choices, and he delivers them well. I kind of see him like Chris Daughtry, but with hair and hats. I think he will go far after this - win or lose, but winning would help. If it's not he or Carly that win this, then it really will be someone with very little talent. None of the others have been consistent in any way, and to me that means they still need more time before they can be Idols. Oh well, Canada will vote the way Canada votes, and I simply can't do enough myself to influence that. I will continue to vote for Carly - let's hope it's not i vain.

Try to find a picture of Zack. He had a hat on and looked like he was in costume or something.

I did end up seeing Zack! I had that episode scheduled to be taped! What a gawd awful outfit! What was he thinking and why didn't the other judges go after him??? Wow!

I'm not a Brian fan. He hasn't wow'd me yet . I know he sounds good but his songs, so far, has done nothing for me. I hope Jaydee gets his act together and Matt too.

I hope so, too, because I'm fearful that one of them will go all the way. Matt's been bottom 3 before, so he's more likely to go, but I really don't think either are any good.

I was reading another site, and they were talking a lot about regional voting. It's probably true, but I think it's ridiculous. Why wouldn't we want the best Canadian talent, regardless of what part of the country their from? I'm really disappointed that people care more about someone's location than talent.

I think the judges and Ben couldn't be bothered with Zack because they are all so angry and disallusioned by last week's vote. I seriously wouldn't be surprised to see one or more of the judges take a pass on this next year because of it. Zack's made it very clear that he wants to sign Carly when this is over. Did you see her original audition? Jokingly, he said he didn't want to give her a gold ticket because he wanted to sign her right then and there. Based on recent voting, I'm pretty sure she's not going to win this thing, but I'm confident that she'll have a record deal immediately, and I'd definitely buy her music.

I seriously wouldn't be surprised to see one or more of the judges take a pass on this next year because of it. Zack's made it very clear that he wants to sign Carly when this is over. Did you see her original audition? Jokingly, he said he didn't want to give her a gold ticket because he wanted to sign her right then and there. Based on recent voting, I'm pretty sure she's not going to win this thing, but I'm confident that she'll have a record deal immediately, and I'd definitely buy her music.

Yes, I'm sure that there is regional voting going on. Jaydee knows Alberta has his back. If Carly gets the boot I won't have much interest left in the show, unless of course Jaydee or Matt make a come back.

I agree about Carly. If she goes, then there are only guys left, and for me Brian is the only one that can sing with any consistency. I think Matt can sing (Whipping Post), but I don't think he's too bright, because he was told over and over again that he needs to sing that kind of stuff, and make if raw and strong, but he doesn't do it, so I don't think he's really Idol material. And although I could one day make a go of it in Nashville, he's still way too young, and he just can't sing well right now.

Carly, Brian, after that I'm really not intereted.

Interesting night tonight.

I thought Matt and Jaydee were better than usual, but to me Jaydee always sounds like he's immitating someone (Elvis) and not singing himself. Matt was better, but he still had some pretty flat notes.

Once again, I thought Dwight was still bad, and as the judges said, he probably sang as well as he could, which isn't too good.

As always, I loved Carly Rae. She's so unique, but I think she'll be gone this week. For some reason she just doesn't have the fan base.

But, by far Brian was fanstastic. He really should win this thing, but I'm not sure about his fan base. He's been bottom three too often, and he picks songs that he likes, rather than mainstream. Just fabulous!!!!!

....Yeah, I guess you're right - which Canadian Idol hasn't drifted off to whatever land? When you put it that way, who really care who wins? I do think Carly Rae is unique enough to break into the States, and I really like Brian, and I think that he could have a following. Funny that I say that I like him, because I never listen to that type of music, and I never will, but I think he does a great job with it.

Tomorrow is standards night and they have 2 songs each. Of course Jaydee is singing one Elvis song - since when is Elvis "standards"? He was the start of Rock & Roll, not standards. For some reason, they let Jaydee sing Elvis at every opportunity - whether it truly fits the theme or not.

Standards is always my favourite theme night, and with 2 songs each, it should be really fun. It shows off the voices the best I think, and normally it can make or break you. But this year, there have been plenty of instances where Jaydee and Dwight have shown that they are very limited vocally, and they're still around, so who knows?????

Carly Rae has the singing chops to become famous and Jaydee would appeal to the country folk so those are my two picks to win it now. The rest are yawners for me.

Do you still think so after the "Standards" night? Brian blew me away - he was so in character. Carly Rae, I'm afraid to say wasn't her stellar best I don't think. I love her, but if people didn't know those songs, I'm not sure that they would have liked her or vote for her. I'm kind of worried about her after tonight.

Dwight was terrible. And I think Zack's bang on when he says Jaydee should move on directly to Nashville, and cash in on his good looks. I think he could be next real teeny bopper heart throb. He is so cute, but he cannot move, and his singing leaves much to be desired.

I'm still hoping for a Carly Rae/Brian finale.

Yes, you are right I did appreciate Brian more. Not so much by his first song but by his second. He nailed the second song and I like how he gave kudo's to Paul Anka for getting him there! I respected him for that.

I think Dwight sucked big time and I sure hope he is the one going home tomorrow. I liked Carly and Jaydee's performances. I really liked Jaydee's second song and I liked the first one because of his Elvis moves LOL. Carly and Jaydee still remain my favorites.

Well, although we agree about Carly Rae, we'll never agree on Jaydee. I think he's cute as a button, and he's got a nice deep singing voice, but he's way too single dimensional - Elvis. He is untrained at this point, and would really benefit from some heavy duty coaching, but right now, he's not Idol material. A lot of far more talented people left long before him (Greg/Martha Joy). He's only in this because of his looks, not his talent. I think he's Canada's version of Sanjaya - cutsie, and liked by the you girls and grandmothers, but not talented. Sorry.

I chose Carly Rae from day one, but I think I'm voting for Brian now. He's the one that's grown the most. I'll be happy if either one wins, and I think both will have great careers.

I had to re-read it myself a few times to figure out what I was trying to say. "you girls" are supposed to be "young girls". I have a bad habit of not proof reading what I type.

Obviously not a lot of people likee Martha Joy, but I think that was more because of her lack of personality, not lack of talent. I thought she had the most vocal talent of the bunch, but absolutely no charisma. Which is why I like Carly Rae so much. She just oozes personality.

Canadian Idol is very good this season with trying out a few different things like letting the singers play instruments and tonight our judge Sass sat in with the singers during rehearsals. Sass gave great advise to them. It would be like Paula sitting in the rehearsal giving pointers rather than a special guest. Also, not only did the judges pick a song for the top 3 singers but they had a poll for the public to pick a song too. Subtle but good changes.

I love Burton Cummings. When my brother was young and in his early 20's he was drunk with some friends at some hotel. They stepped into an elevator and there was Burton Cummings. My brother being the loud mouthed drunk and figured he was way too cool for Burton yelled out "hey look everyone it's Hermon Cummings!" and everyone bursted out laughing at Burton??!! What a jerk! So recently I said to my brother how can you not like Burton Cummings? I said when you are driving and his songs come on the radio you can't tell me you don't sing along? Well he finally admitted that he likes Burton now LOL.

Carly Rae was being interviewed by our local radio station and she is in high spirits. She said she can't possibly be sad about coming in third because this was a thrill of a life time for her. She said it's up to her to go on and make a career for herself and she is excited about it. They asked her who she hopes will win and she said she couldn't choose for she felt both Jaydee and Brian were very talented. She has a great attitude! I would buy her cd for sure and Jaydees.

A while back you posted a video of a Canadian Idol that I had never known about. The guy had blonde curly hair. He was on Idol during season 2. I didn't watch CDN or American Idol back then. Any how, he was on the show last night singing and he knocked my socks off. He immediately reminded me of a young Robert Plant and also of a sexy guy I went to high school with LOL. I can't remember his name but he was really, really good.

I can't remember his name but he was really, really good.

That was Kalan Porter, and he won it in Season 2. He was fabulous then, and he was only 16. Way more advanced at that age than Jaydee is now. He was great last night - wasn't he? I didn't particularly like Hedley or Ryan Malcom's band, but Kalan was superb.

Carly Rae was very gratious last night when they announced that she was leaving. I really, really like her.

Brian is from Hamilton, which is just outside Toronto, and if you listened last night, he had a ton of cheers, but that's just in the studio, where of course he has more local fans. Historically though, I don't think that Toronto/Ontario fans vote, so I don't think that location will help him much. I hope he wins this, because I think Jaydee still needs a lot of coaching. I think he's got a good voice, and he can do it with the right coaching, but he's just not ready yet to be an Idol.

I think Jaydee did a wonderful job on the Burton Cummings song. If you didn't know the song already, you'd think it was a brand new country song that was written just for him. He really did a good job with it, and I don't really like him. I think he benefitted from a long coaching session with Sass. For the other guest coaches, they only get 20 minutes each with them, which is really nothing. Long enough for them to listen to you sing it once and give a word of advice, but do they really work with you??? Jaydee has the talent, but it's still really raw and untrained. I think he still needs 2 or 3 years, with some really good help picking the songs. No more of this Elvis crap. He's got to diversify himself. Make himself modern. If I want to listen to Elvis, I'll get the real thing.

I have gone to every Guess Who/Burton Cummings concert that comes around. He's my absolute favourite, and when I was working at my summer job years, and years ago, I met him. He was nice enough, but I think he's got a pretty big ego - but then again who doesn't when you are famous?

I have been to Hamilton once, back in the 80's.

I think Jaydee would sky rocket to fame if he won because who ever wins they are told what they are singing and how to sing it, right? So he'd be coached right along. This is what I'm thinking anyway. He has such an incredible voice that he wouldn't need much to get him going. I'm starting to hear people more and more say they like Jaydee so that is encouraging. I would love to see him win this but you already know that.

Kalan Porter was great and yes those other two bands not so much.

Jepsen fans to be crucial to Canadian Idol winner
Updated Fri. Sep. 7 2007 4:08 PM ET

Eye on Idol

Fans of eliminated Top 3 competitor Carly Rae Jepsen will prove critical to the Canadian Idol winner, who will be decided next week from two competitors who are currently neck in neck in vote standings.

According to CTV, the margin between votes earned by finalists Jaydee Bixby and Brian Melo last week was only 2 per cent - meaning that next week's winner will likely be decided by Jepsen fans who must pick a new Idol to support.
It was the biggest vote yet this season, with 4,126,861 votes recorded last Monday night for Hamilton's Brian Melo, 25; Drumheller's Jaydee Bixby, 17; and Top 3 finalist Carly Rae Jepsen.

On Tuesday, more than two million viewers tuned in to CTV to learn that Jepsen was eliminated, meaning Brian and Jaydee would go head to head in the finale.

What they didn't know was that less than two per cent of the total votes separated Brian and Jaydee.

The Top 2 take to the stage for their final competitive performance on Monday.

They will sing three songs each, including the new 2007 winner's single "All I Ever Wanted," which will be released to radio on Sept. 12; a tune from the Bon Jovi songbooks following a mentoring session with that band's Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora; and one final song of their own choosing.

The following night, the next Canadian Idol will be revealed in a two-hour, star-studded season finale featuring Bon Jovi, Avril Lavigne, Season 4 winner Eva Avila and the remaining eight 2007 Canadian Idol finalists. Throughout the show, host Ben Mulroney will throw to live feeds from Hamilton, ON and Drumheller, AB, hometowns of the Top 2 finalists, as their communities rally to support the contenders.

Then, as the show reaches its climax, host Mulroney will reveal the winner and invite him to perform "All I Ever Wanted" in triumph. Last year's winner's single, Avila's "Meant to Fly" debuted at No. 1, went platinum and remained on the top of Canada's singles chart for six weeks in a row.

Immediately following Tuesday's broadcast, the winner will sign a contract with Shane Carter and Neil Foster, co-presidents of Sony BMG Music (Canada) Inc. The winner will begin work the following week on a debut CD, to be released this fall.

The last Canadian Idol performance show hits the CTV airwaves on Monday, Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. ET. The finale will be broadcast on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. ET.

The last Canadian Idol performance show hits the CTV airwaves on Monday, Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. ET. The finale will be broadcast on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. ET.

I agree that this makes sense - I loved Carly Rae, and as I've said before, I think Jaydee is not ready. My Carly votes are going to Brian, who was my second choice from week 1.

Yes he is. I loved him during Season 2 - he was my pick to win from day 1, and nothing's changed.

Do think of me with you're voting tonight. Remember, although I don't want Jaydee to win, I think he will. You heard it here first. Enjoy tonight.

Well, I may be biased, but Jaydee was BAD - all the judges basically agreed. The first two songs were terrible, and the last song - Tom Jones' It's Not Unusual, was just OK - very Karoke-ish, which isn't good for this point of the competition.

Brian on the other hand was fabulous, and the judges completely agreed. I'm almost embarrassed for Jaydee, because the judges didn't hold back one bit. Clearly the judges think Brian should win.

I'm intrigued as to how the audience will vote, because clearly Brian is the whole package NOW, whereas Jaydee has tons of potential, but still needs a lot of work. It will be interesting.

Jaydee is only 17 so I can see how he was nervous! It was clear that he was nervous. I still don't like Brian's voice and only give him credit for the last song. Zack said he'd rather manage Jaydee so that is one judge on Jaydee's side. That grumpy judge that makes snotty remarks to Zack has been gunning for Jaydee for the last 3 or 4 shows. He has been trying to persuade people to vote for Brian. My husband didn't watch the show but could hear it from his office. He said they both sucked LOL! He said he was glad he didn't watch it.

Any how, may the best man win!

Well congratulations Lou!

I did watch tonight and I'm glad I did because Jaydee rocked! He really can put on a good show. Anyhow, the other idols were good too. I enjoyed watching them more than Avril and Bon Jovi. I thought they were quite good.

I know Jaydee is going to be a huge success so I'm not feeling bad for him.

Congrats on Brian winning...

Me too but he's going to do well. He's has so much talent at his age and he's got the looks to boot! He's going to be hugely successful.

I don't think our Idols tour together like America's Idols? However, I heard that they asked Carly to join Jaydee and Brian on their tour so that will be great! The three of them will put on a great show.

I was so pleased with the results last night. I was going to post something, but I didn't want to spoil it for you, so I held back. I really enjoyed the entire show last night. I thought Avril and Bon Jovi were great, and I was really pleased with Eva's performance. I really, really liked seeing the top 10 back together again. They all are really quite talented, and I even thought Dwight was not bad, which I definitely didn't think during the competition.

I wonder how the voting went. In other years they made a point of saying how close the voting was, but there was no mention about it at all this year. Although they made a big deal about the record number of votes (5 million), they didn't stalk about the split at all. I have a feeling that it was pretty one sided in the end.

I totally agree that Jaydee will be very successful if he wants it bad enough. I think he needs some heavy duty coaching, but as you say, he's got the talent and the looks. So, if he takes advice and applies himself he'll be fabulous.

I think the reason we don't do the top 10 tour thing, is because our season is a summer replacement for AI, and by the time it's over, we're back into the September routine and very busy, whereas the AI tour is typically a "summer tour". It's kind of unique that they are doing the top 3 tour. It will be interesting to see how well it does.

My hubby watched too, and he really enjoyed it. But, he superficially watched it with me all summer.He wasn't really that into it, but he humoured me and watched. He was disappointed when Carly Rae got voted off, so I thought I might lose him for the finale, but he really enjoyed it.

What on earth are we going to do until AI starts again????

I didn't watch that. Dancing With the Stars is starting soon, so I'll watch that, and wait for AI in January/08. Hopefully I'll talk to you then.

It's been fun!
