Great show!!!

Less positives first....Kaleb...not getting into his way of singing and I am certain that I heard misfires. But, based on the judges' interpretation, what do I know????

But, Jacob is fun to watch...wouldn't buy his music, but can see why the young gals will be won over:-)

Jason....liking his voice and his spirit and his look:-)

Brenda...really, really like her voice!....hope I can see her for more performances...great potential.

Kalan...has something extra for sure...a whole whack of talent, a unique effeminate-blend to his look, and a sort of 'distance'. He will get wherever he wants to get with his music is my guess.

Theresa makes me tear up...not so much tonight, but from her other appearances....love her style and her whole personality...she is as sweet as they come and full of talent!! I do think that song must be a difficult one to pull off...does anyone who understands music know? Her music I *would* buy!!!!

Queenbee: Wow! Good choice to be at the show! I can't even imagine the electricity that must have been in the place.

I do think the judges were being too harsh. Sometimes I get the feeling Sass is harsh simply because she doesn't want to be known as the "nice one" and is going to an extreme to let everyone know she's not "nice".

Shoofly: I agree with you about Kaleb. It is cool he can take a safe song and make it his own (as all the judges praised him for) but that can only go so far.

I agree, Theresa is great. She's so sweet and humble.

Where is Kellirippa? I am dying to know what she thought of the show.

Ok, so I've watched the show about 5 times now. No, I'm not a freak, just using it as background noise while I do other things. I'm now at the point where I like them all, but the show really goes out with a bang with a number of really strong performances toward the end.

I've decided that some of the judging at the start was a bit harsher then needed, but maybe they just knew the best was yet to come, and they wanted to really highlight the cream of the crop, and not be saying the same thing all night.

I'm trying to remember the AI crew, and I don't mean to pick on that show, I liked it as well, but didn't some of them really choke at the start? My opinion is that they ended up carrying some unpopular performers for quite a few weeks. The CI show by comparison seems to have a group that came ready to sing and unless we lose Theresa (I'm a big sucker for what she's selling) pre final three, I'll really be hard pressed to complain if they all keep performing at this level.

Having said that, I don't expect every show to be this good. They got to pick what they wanted, no one picked a tune or a gener that they were going to suck at. As the show progresses, they are going to be pushed out of their comfort zone, and will probably stink the place up a bit.

Queenbee: Have you seen the show on TV yet? Did you make it on TV? That is very cool!

Bets taken on Canadian Idol


Can Vegas be far behind? An online gambling site is handicapping the race on Canadian Idol.

World-Wide Tele-Sports (BetWWTs.com) in Antigua rates Kalan Porter, 18, as the one most likely to win the record deal, at 9-to-5 odds. That means for every $5 put on the blonde from Medicine Hat, Alta., a win would produce $9.

Elena Juatco, a 19-year-old wildcard pick from Vancouver, is seeded second at 7-to-2 odds. Next is Theresa Sokyrka, 23, of Saskatoon, at 4 to 1.

Last night's telecast began the process of reducing the Top 10. Results of this latest viewer voting will be aired tonight.

I was absolutely impressed last night. My thoughts:

Joshua - very safe and reminded me of Ryan Malcolm's performance last year, and I didn't need to be reminded of that.

Brandy - looked fantastic. Choked on some of the notes, but a great performance none the less.

Manoah - bad song choice. This is the search for a "Popstar" so to speak (although being Canadian, that doesn't really mean anything since we don't have traditional popstars) and a heady gospel tune just doesn't do it for me. She's talented but definitely not a favourite for me.

Shane - ooooo that was definitely off last night. He was flat throughout half the song, and just seemed bland.

Jason - cheese, cheese and more cheese, but he's pretty good.

Kalan - Woooooweeee!! That boy has it all! Definite front runner.

Theresa - Fantastic job, she always has me mesmerized.

Kaleb - couldn't tell you, I fast forwarded through his entire performance. I had seen snippets of it when I returned home from my guitar lesson and was still taping and heard enough to know that I didn't like it.

Jacob - Loved it!! He's too much but I still loved it.

Elena - Glad to see she's toned her antics down, but I enjoyed her performance. Much better than the last time it was performed on an Idol show! (Nikki McGibbon)

Some great performances last night...Most of the contestants really steped up to the plate. I am really getting sick of the judges comments (but hey...what do I know

What is all the hype over Kaleb..I really just don't get him and yet they grovel and grovel over him.

Cross - I watched the show when I got home and about half my face got on tv. They kept showing the woman beside me but never quite made it over to me. Oh well.

I posted my votes but I don't think I'll do very well this week. I just can't decide so I ended up spreading the votes around to five contestants. I don't really want to see any of them go...

Hmmm. Did the voting audience see the same show we did?
