I'm beginning to think no one cares anymore (me included), we were all such prolific posters early on, now it's blah, and this early time doesn't help matters. Just two more weeks and then we can put it to bed for the year and hope next years crop of talent knocks our socks off.

But I am looking forward to the Barenaked Ladies performing.

Not exactly loads of posts are there?

I had something else come up and didn't even bother watching the show tonight. Who else was in the bottom two?

I don't like the theme shows. I wish they would just let them do whatever they want like real artists. I'm not interested in who is the best rock/jazz/motown/oldies/big band/Elvis singer. I'm interested in seeing people do what they do best!

Jimmer, there was no bottom two - Ben just announced who was going home from the remaining four.

Jasper, I too am looking forward to BNL next week, but I'm afraid this group will royally kill their songs, too.

I only watched Tuesday's performances late last night and I think Zach hit the nail on the head when he commented people need sleep. I think all the appearances and travelling (last week was Fairview Mall, CNE then off to Graceland) is hurting the preparation time and performances. Plus they now have to prep two songs per week. Suzi was on Canada AM this morning and basically said she didn't mind leaving and figured her time had come since she was so tired.

What I can't figure out is I'm sure we're not the only ones who are less than thrilled with this year's crop - so who the heck is voting? Every week they say they are getting a record number of votes. Must be a couple of people with very worn out re-dial buttons

the last 2 seasons, the kids and I used two phone lines and would vote for the full 2 hours for our faves.. this year, I started out voting, but lately I usually forget the show is even on..

I was so disheartened to see Ryan Malcolm playing to a barely half full theatre in a small venue in my little town less than a year after winning Canadian Idol. Kalen Porter is such a little cutie and so talented, vocally and instrumentally and yet a year after his big win, where is he? I think he likely would have had a more successful career had he just tried to make it on his own. Jacob Hoggard's band is appearing at Reds in West Edmonton Mall on October 1st, and my daughter and her friends have tickets, but I think Jacob has worked hard living down his days at Canadian Idol..

All and all, I guess other than Kelly Clarkson, there hasn't been an idol in the US or Canada that has amounted to much more than a novelty act, William Hung was as successful as any of them.. It's sad, but I guess that American/Canadian/World idol really just makes for good television, but I've realized, it doesn't make for an actual pop idol.

I wonder if it would make a difference if they would let them be themselves and let the public judge that, this role playing everyweek is not who they are. I like how INXS does it, that way good ones don't really get the boot too early and bad ones are gone the first chance they get. I can't help thinking of the first year and Toya Alexis getting kicked off so early.
