I have a bad memory to but for some reason I thought I remembered LLK saying that Kevin would be to old to try out the next time around? I'm prolly way off base here.

That's kool LLK about George being from your town. They play his song all the time on the country station here.

Hey, I did say Kevin would be too old, because I thought he was a year older than my son, he is actually a year younger. He said he didn't try out this year but will again next year. He isn't actually a relative directly, his aunt is married to my uncle, we share relatives but are not related.

Wasn't Kevin the nice guy who nearly beat out Ryan in the wildcard? It's amazing how close Ryan came to being eliminated (I was voting for Kevin, if it's who I'm thinking of).

How about that Spitfire, we were both right :-):-):-)

Kevin was the big guy with the great voice who got really sick before/in?? the 32 and had to leave. He just couldn't sing. They brought him back for wildcard but he was still too sick and didn't make it. I can't remember if he is the one who almost did in Ryan though, sorry. I was never a Ryan fan but I liked kevin a lot.

That's him ... the one that nearly did in Ryan!

Seriously, I really liked him and would have preferred that he had made it instead. It would have made for a very different ending (obviously).

That is him, he came in 12th and they took 11. He had viral pnemonia and strept throat at the time. He really had bad luck to be so sick at that time. He also hadn't sung in a while so he is taking his time, getting his voice back in shape singing at places. He is planning on trying out again next year which they did recommend to him so I don't think they will hold what happened last year to him.

How bout that Jan. I am impressed with my memory. I guess I file the unnecessary in the circular and keep the important stuff.

Check out the show tonight or for the Halifax auditions for a girl called Mary Grace. She is 17 I think, she has this Joni Mitchell type thing going on. I didn't see it but her music teacher told me what she was doing. She makes it to the 64 but I don't think she makes it any further, she is not allowed to say but rumor is that she didn't. The day before that tryout she was playing an old lady in the school play and I did her hair and makeup. I put so much grey hair spray in it she said she wasn't sure it all came out. I am going to look for that and have a good laugh.

could be subsequent TAR episodes will be a different night...but the first one's definitely a tuesday.

Tabby, I am sure CTV would LOVE to share the show but no American network is willing to pay to pick it up :-):-)

Seriously, CTV in Canada has paid to carry this show, along with many other American shows, plus our cable companies offer all the American networks. We are really well off when it comes to TV viewing in Canada!

I don't know where you are but maybe a satellite company in your area may offer it if they offer CTV. We would love to have you watch with us :-):-)

Llkoolaid, your town must be a hotbed of music!!!! Residents seem to make it on so many talent shows..and isn't it just a small city??

No it isn't a city, it is a group of 5 towns that runs into each other and the rural areas with a total population of around 60 thousand. My town New Glasgow is the biggest and there are only 10,000 in it. It is a very small place, but music is found in almost every household here. It is in the blood here. Poor me, I have no talent. lol

That's amazing, LLK, that, with an area of 60,000 max, you would know three who made it through at least one round of Idol plus George Canyon!!! You are right. Music is obviously in the blood. Is it a celtic area?

First commercial comments:

I was THRILLED to hear the judges say they are going to be more ruthless this time. I think, now they know how much of a hit this show is, they really do need to "raise the bar" bring people who could be a pop star, not just a good singer like Ryan was.

That guy from Ottawa who came dressed in pink and sang "Sweet Caroline" was a riot! I love it when the judges start singing along with the bad singers.

hey Tatyana, nice to hear from a neighbour.

Jan it is only Ottawa and Toronto. There are some good singers getting through. Also lots of idiots auditioning with tooo much time wasted on them.

Yes Jan it is very Celtic. The phone book is full of Mac's and Mc"s. Everybody loves a kitchen party here.

I like the last 2 guys that get through. Actually there were a few that I can see getting to the 32.

Tatyana was right. Andrea, the last girl from Ottawa, was awesome.

Why is it that the people who come across as arrogant and annoying can't sing, but the quiet people who seem very humble and sweet can?

So you and LLk get it an hour before us..is that right? Does this mean you can spoil for us this year (spoil in white font plus well labelled so only those of us who want to be spoiled , read it??? I mean I want to read it..and those of us in EST always spoil for PST so I don't see why the Atlantic time zone can't do the spoiling first :-):-))

Can't we just have another thread with called Canadian Idol Spoiled or something like that. I can read the white type without hi-lighting it.

I just finished helping spoil AI but if no one else will do it , I will do my best. I don't want to start until we start voting if that is ok.

It always looks like the girls are singing directly to Zack.

That chick who sang "Over The Rainbow" was so horrible.

Is it just me, or is John Dore actually bearable tonight? Maybe by September he'll have gotten on my nerves, but he's actually quite funny.
