Isn't it funny that both AI and CI have female judges who seem to need help to get through the shows?

At least on Nashville Star, the female judge is not fluff. SHE is the record producer! PS I guess I just don't care for this song.

I liked the one Ryan sang and his other tune he had out. I must say I haven't been a huge fan of Kalan's from day one, he seems a little too bland for me. good camera angle people lol

I couldn't bar to watch the show in real time (even though I missed watching it with you guys). But I just finished fast forwarding through most of it. Ugh. Boring. Lame. Sappy. I thank my lucky stars I don't listen to terrestrial radio and won't have to listen to the "Idol ballad" when it is released. Yuck.

The Toronto star article (excerpts which follow) certainly assumes Kalan is the winner but likes Theresa the best. It has some great things to say about her and her future. To read the whole article go HERE but for selected excerpts from the article (mainly about Theresa) see below: He's the new Idol, she's the winner `Elfboy' Kalan seems a cinch to win tonight's showdown But Theresa is the singer with a future BEN RAYNER POP MUSIC CRITIC Winning a contest like Canadian Idol doesn't depend nearly as much on talent as it does on the ability to shape one's talent into one very specific model. Even the show's four judges seemed to be predicting a Porter win at the end of yesterday's wholesome showdown between the wee Medicine Hat native and his arch-rival, unassuming Saskatoon gal Theresa Sokyrka. ...(skip to end of article)... One got the impression last night that Sokyrka's personal tastes don't leave much room for hokum like "Awake In A Dream." She handled the song capably, mind you, underplaying it in contrast to Porter's later, full-throated wailing and overcoming a stiff, slightly flat first verse by suppressing her nerves and barrelling into the later reaches of the song with more confidence and energy. It just wasn't her bag. Sokyrka's understated, just-the-tiniest-bit-husky delivery came through a few missed notes and what seemed to be a lingering case of the big-night jitters much better on the relaxed, unforced performances of Norah Jones's "Come Away With Me" and Smokey Robinson's "Cruisin'" that followed. Her voice — occasionally wobbly of pitch, but blessed with a charming, natural tendency to fall right into place at the end of each phrase — is not as perfect an instrument as Porter's, but it is indeed hers. She wields it with a restraint her opponent would do well to observe, too; turning it on is much more effective when it's turned off occasionally. Win or lose tonight, anyway, Sokyrka should be fine. There were enough music-industry types in the room yesterday buzzing about her talents and genuinely magnetic stage presence to suggest she's already got a leg up on most aspiring pop stars. Besides, if she doesn't win Canadian Idol, she might get a chance to tackle some decent material. Porter likely won't be so lucky.

Do you think Jacob could have done anything special with the "idol" ballad? I'm not trying to be controversial here - I'm just curious. He may well be glad that he got out when he did.
