I thought the group number was great – at least compared to American Idol’s efforts. Seriously, at least on CI they try to do something with the songs, rather taking turns singing like robots. Now most of Casey’s votes will go to Rex. Turn out the lights – the party’s over. Nothing against him - he seems like a nice guy who can sorta sing. I like our version so much better than AI. The judges are vastly superior and the production is so much classier, the way they allow the eliminated contestant to actually finish rather than cutting them off two seconds into their last performance.

Why would Casey's votes go to Rex? Did Daryl's votes go to Aaron (who are closer geographically than New Brunswick and Newfoundland) or did Josh's votes go to Melissa (both out in the prairies)? If so, we all know where the population base (and the major phone lines)are. It is definitely not in Atlantic Canada.

Beating a dead horse Sasha lol. I think most of Casey's votes won't bother voting anymore and those that do will split them between Rex, Melissa and Aaron. I doubt any will go to Suzy, maybe a few younger ones.

Oh and I have to add, Suzy does sound like a bar band singer, she is a one act show. I loved her at first, thought she was edgy and a great performer, dismissed the yelling and fact that she isn't a great singer. I am so over her. She can't hold a candle to Melissa's voice. Same with Rex, I love his personality but he is not even close to the same league vocally as Aaron. I am hoping final 2 are Melissa and Aaron. Geez I wish they were Eastcoasters.

I hear ya Llkoolaid, I wish Suzi would get out of the rock mode for a song or two...I think she's a great singer but needs more variety for CI. I really like Rex too(what a cutie he is!) but am swaying over to Melissa for the big win. That girls got it going on!

Melissa and Aaron are on a different level. Suzi is a talented performer, but she probably doesn't have a broad enough appeal to win this sort of competition (plus she is from BC ). Rex is a nice guy with a great personality and appealing looks and a good manner who is from the East Coast and is a fairly decent singer. He's going to be hard to beat. For example, my wife likes him - she knows that the others are better singers but she just likes him. I know talking about regionalism in Canada makes people tense, but realistically they have done studies and the only province where a lot of people identify themselves as being “Canadian” is Ontario. In all other parts of the country, people tend to identify themselves by the region they are from. That is why Aaron would not pick up as many votes from Daryl as Rex will from Casey. You even hear people comment on here about that sort of thing, where they say they’re supporting someone because they are from their area.

i think suzi is great. i look forward to hearing her every time she comes on stage, but i don't think her appeal is broad enough and i think she has rocked too much. i think she did show that she has a great voice when she did a ballady number quite a while back and she was awesome with 'minnie the moocher'. aaron is very good and i love his personality, but i don't think he's canadian idol. rex has got lots of charisma, but he is just a so-so singer to me. melissa is very talented and i think she should probably win this thing. i'm glad casey is gone. amber was my very favourite, but she tightened up with all the pressure of the praise, i think. also, she picked a bad song with that 'jesse james'. i'm sad that i don't think she went far enough to get some sort of record deal, since hers and suzi's cd's would be the ones i would consider buying.
