LOL Crossfire! You cracked me up! YES! Brock, the school teacher and the chick with glasses made it! Did I see right? Did the guy who totally blew it when he did his duet (and then his duet partner got cut) is in the 32? They actually kept him to the end? Audrey looked amazing. Billy and Gary sounded awesome. Ryan looked ridiculous.

O.K. I'm not biased or anything , but IMHO our final four from last year were so much better than F4 for AI this year. At least, I find them more entertaining! Nice to see them again. No doubt, CI is the CTV "flagship show".

Hi, sorry I am late, but I couldn't get at the computer, have to say I really enjoyed the show but for the guy that forgot the words during the duet, the girl sold him out and then she had to leave, man she carried him, I didn't get that, but whatever, quite pleased with what we have to offer.

I agree, LL. Glad you saw the show! It was more one to watch rather than comment on!

I can't wait to hear some of these folks sing an entire song. From what we've seen, there are some fantastic singers this year. (I agree about Ryan's hair - wtf was he thinking!)

Just a thought - does Joshua look like Nathan from Big Brother or is it just me?

Jake, it's not just you... thank you for finally clicking my brain into place for me!!! That guy, Jakob should not have advanced. I can't believe that he made it through to the semi-finals. (He's the one who looked stoned and stayed after his partner, who completely carried him, was rejected.) My favourite, unfortunately started off the "When a Man Loves a Woman" segment. I can't remember his name, but he's such a cutie - I just want to put him in my pocket and go home.

I am quite impressed with the singers so far. We have a lot of good ones this year. If it continues this way it's going to make for hard decision making when it comes time to vote. It was nice to see the top 4 from last year there. What is Ryan trying to be - a punk rocker now??

It was great to see the final four from last year again. It’s only my impression, but Billy, Gary and Audrey seem as popular as ever, while Ryan just doesn’t seem to generate a lot of audience enthusiasm? They seem to have a good group of contestants this year so it should be fun. I don’t understand what happened when they put that one guy who couldn’t remember the lyrics and didn’t practice through – what were they thinking?

Remember his face, you guys. As far as I'm concerned, he has got to go (unless he blows everyone away when he sings during Week Two):
Here is his bio: Kaleb Simmonds Age: 21 Occupation: Singer / Carpet Layer Hometown: Dartmouth, NS Audition city: Halifax When did you first start to sing? QUICK FACTS Favourite song: Stevie Wonder's "Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away" Favourite male/female pop artists: Michael Jackson, Missy Elliott Favourite CD: D'Angelo's "Voodoo" First CD ever bought: Talib Kwalib Age 7. What is your favourite song to sing? "O Holy Night" What CD would your friends be surprised you own? CCR. Who in the music world do you think your style is most like? Nobody. How would your friends describe you? Musically focused. Besides performing, what other talents do you have? Writing skills and composing music. What are your goals in life? To establish a music industry for the youth. My definition of a Canadian Idol is: Being a positive influence on young people and expanding beyond Canada. Who is your Canadian Idol? My father. Who in the Canadian Idol Top 11 did you identify with the most? Toya. What are your greatest strengths entering this competition? The fact that I'm calm and understand why I'm here and what I'm going to demonstrate. What is your biggest fear regarding this competition? I don't really have a fear competing against other musicians. If you don't make it on Canadian Idol, what will you do? Make high rates making and selling music. How would your life change if you were to become Canadian Idol? An opportunity to easily attack my goals and accomplishment for the future.

There must be something more to the story than they showed us? The judges had to have some reason for doing what they did.

Geez, there are 2 from Nova Scotia and I am not voting for either of them unless they really impress me which they haven't so far. I like that girl with the glasses and the girl from Quebec, who had the white scarf the first audition.

I just love the pace of the Canadian Idol show. There seems to be so much packed into every episode. Fox could learn a few things from good old CTV.. week after week of bad audition tape doesn't do a thing to enhance the show....

Aw.......my cousin's daughter was eliminated. SIGH....oh well, she did have a kinda weak voice and would have gone sooner or later. I found it hard to see that 'all hope is lost' look in her eyes the few times she was shown on camera. The duet wasnt shown so I can imagine it must have been really bad. ANYWAYS, the kid should stick to acting and modelling. Singing is not her strongest talent (In MY opinion) ******* I LOVE Some of the people who made it thru to the next round~!! Like you guys I am a little bewildered how Kaleb made it through...he did look stoned out of his mind!! BUT....it could also have been two days with almost NO SLEEP. My theory is that he was PUT thru since the camera people would have passed on that the Duet Partner had LIED on stage to the judges. To say that they didnt practice, she just Babysat him was VERY damaging to him. I was very pleased at Kaleb and his reaction to the girl afterwards. He didnt get angry or anything. I figure he deserved another chance due to his maturity and the way he handled the situation. ***** I LOVE that french girl's voice. She has a crystal clear voice and the CONTROL is amazing!! I have GREAT hopes for this season......I sure hope a Gary Beales type doesnt make it to the end again. Didnt anyone here notice that he STILL cant sing in tune?? Billy was great, Audrey gorgeous and great pipes, Ryan..always the performer but Gary...whoa! Only my opinion...I wasnt a fantasia fan either....but I'm glad she won. Truly she is more marketible than Diana is.

I think Gary has a good soulful voice, granted not great but I would rather hear him than Ryan or Billy, loved seeing Audrey again, Billy never did much for me but I sure as heck like him better than old rooster head, Ryan, gee, that guy just doesn't do a thing for me, he annoys me to no end so I guess yes he does do something to me, not for me. lol, Funny how we all see differant things in differant people. Gotta add that the talent this year is way, way above last years and sure as heck beats AI.

I finally had a chance to read through this thread. I so missed being here to take part (thanks for noticing Tweety  ) It wasn't the same watching with no one to talk to! I'll just have to plan my life better in the future. I agree with all of you about Caleb. There just has to be some back story there, n'est-ce pas??? I did a count of the competitors at the official site (LINK.) Here are some stats: 16 men and 16 women made it through (I thought there would be more women than that!!) The geographical breakdown (ie where the contestants are from, not where they auditioned) is as follows: ON 14 BC 5 AB 4 QC 3 SK 3 NS 2 NF 1 Week 1: 4ON; 1QC; 1BC; 1AB; 1NS Week 2: 3ON; 1QC; 1BC; 1AB; 1SK; 1NS Week 3: 3ON; 1QC; 2BC; 1AB; 1SK Week 4: 4ON; 1NL; 1BC; 1AB; 1SK PS sure looks like they broke them up to allow the regions to be able vote their local favourites. ie the least amount possible from each province each week.

That’s very interesting (and probably not coincidental) how the groups are broken-up regionally. One of the few things that bother me about Canada is its regionalism, so I hope that people will vote for the performer they like the best, disregarding what region of the country they happen to be from (I know I will).

Last year I voted for Toya and Gary, Toya because I thought she was best and Gary because he was hometown, when Toya left all my votes went to Gary mainly because I didn't like any of the others to bother to make the effort. This year the Nova Scotia girl has a pretty good voice but doesn't appeal to me, I doubt if I will vote for her. The guy from Nova Scotia imo doesn't belong in the top 32 and I would not vote for him. The ones I like are from accross the country so for me this year it is who I like the most. There are 3 people in the first group that I like, I don't know if I will divide my votes between them or give them all to the one who does the best that night. I'll have to wait and see what moves me, but probably I will try all of the ones I like and keep calling the one it is easiest to get through on, obviously they need the votes.

I will definitely vote for whomever I like best. Actually I would prefer if someone from Ontario does NOT win this time (I am from Ontario, BTW) but if my fav's are from Ontario, that's how I will vote.

In case you missed this week's shows or simply want to see the 2 hours again, CTV is repeating both hours from 7PM until 9PM. These are the shows where the 155 is whittled down to the final 32.

I notice that they also seem to have split the weeks by age Week 1: 8 in their 20's week 2: 4 teens; 4 in 20's week 3: 4 teens; 4 in their 20's week 4: 3 teens; 5 in their 20's
