Where is everyone tonight. I was coming here to see what people sang etc. as I am watching BB now and won't watch the show until tomorrow. I had company so couldn't watch the show. Has everyone left because the good singers we wanted to win are gone?

Kelli & Skootz - Can't speak for the others, but my cable went off shortly after 8pm. When I called, I was told there was a major interruption and service wouldn't be restored until tomorrow at 12:46am. Happily mine came back on 10 minutes ago. So, missed most of Cdn Idol but can catch Rock Stars INXS

Sorry to hear about your cable going out Tweety because it was a great show. Although Rex has had some weak moments in the past few weeks he absolutely outsang and outperformed Melissa last night. He was controlled, mature and sang amazing. His rendition of the "Idol" song was incredible too. It's a really cool song.

I like Melissa's voice but she doesn't seem to put heart and soul into her performances - they seem a bit cold to me, and at least last night - her voice was weak.

I would definitely say that it's anybody's game - although Zach ofcourse declared Melissa the winner before Rex had even sang his 3rd song. *sigh*.

Either one will go on to have a career - that's for sure but last night was Rex's night to shine.

I voted for Rex as I watched Canadian Idol during comml's and on the West coast feed so caught most of the songs. I also thought he outsang Melissa.

I voted for most of the two hours and got in maybe 20 times altogether.

So if Melissa wins, it has to be a really close vote???

Really, although I was not overly impressed with either of them last night I don't think our Rex can sing beans compared to Melissa and frankly if there was a World Idol would be mortified if he represented Canada. (I watched it on tape after the fact, sorry I couldn't join you guys last night)

Rex is a half-decent singer but I’ve never thought much of Rex’s performances. My wife likes him because she thinks he’s cute and nice so that may be where some of his votes are coming from.

Having said that, I was astonished at how good he was in the finale. IMO his performance was excellent. Melissa (who I’ve always thought to be a much more capable performer) gave a fairly tame performance in comparison. Based on last night, I can see Rex winning this, although Melissa is a vastly superior singer.

With respect to World Idol, I would say that we would have had a much better shot at winning with Kalan, Rex or Melissa, than we did with Ryan. Ugh!

Melissa is a way better singer than Rex, but Melissa lacks personality to me. Theresa Sykorko can sing circles around both of them..

There was so much to watch last night. So I only managed to watch both Rex sing the original song and then when I flipped over later on I saw Melissa sing the original song as well. So I sort of lucked out since that song is what the winner is going to release. In my opinion, Rex kicked it! I loved his version. I am hoping even if he doesn't win, he could release that song. The versions are different enough don't you think???

I am very tired, stay up to vote ... 12:30AM is too late

Hi, everyone. I'm usually a lurker but just wanted to come out of the closet today to say that I loved Rex from day 1 and really hope he wins this contest. Melissa is also a great singer as were a lot of the contestants but Rex won my heart because I am a fellow NFLDer and he reminds me so much of home with that accent.

Hi Sharon. I am also a fellow Newfoundlander! We must be everywhere! I love Rex's accent as well. I also thought he represented the province well. I would love to see him win, especially since he is from a very small community and opportunities are usually more limited than someone from an urban area.

Go Rex!

Yes Rex is adorable and seems like a nice guy, but this is about singing and Melissa is much better than him consistantly. I wasn't blown away by either of them last night. Maybe I missed his version of the song but the one that sticks out was a Cuddy song he sang sitting down and it was lame (jmo) I didn't vote for either last night so will have to be happy with whatever happens!

Kelli - Melissa usually works the stage but does come off a little one dimensional when speaking to the judges but she is only 17. And Theresa while I enjoy her for the most part always comes off a little needy and very little girlish with her thank yous, just bugs me for some reason

Kelli-I was checking out the game to see who I was missing and I must say I am honoured to have contributed to your vocab! Fugly is very handy.

I really had fun this year and wish we hadn't trailed off at the end, but there is always next season and I hope you all come back and we have all you lurkers join us as well!

Interesting point Jasper, but I think I disagree with you. To me the point of the whole Idol franchise was to find the next big thing, a manufactured star, a pop idol. Other than Kelly Clarkson, it doesn't really turn out that way, but it's about getting TV ratings, not actually creating a singing career. The judges criticize the singing, but the show is set up so that the country picks the winner based on popularity.

LOL, Jasper, you're prolific today.. I was responding to your comment to Sasha, took a phone call, came back and finished and I'm behind you by 3 posts!

I was not really a Theresa fan last year myself, and for pretty much the same reason's that you gave, (Jacob was my fav last season) but last night when I heard her sing, I thought to myself, she's better than either of these two..

Melissa is very talented but she lacks experience. She is phenomenal compared to the others when you consider that she is 17. If this contest was taking place a few years from now when she was in her twenties, I don’t think it would be much of a competition. She would win easily.

I like Theresa a lot but I agree that she does kinda over do the thank you's.

It has been a fun year but I'm still waiting to see a performer that will make me sit up and take notice. As I said, if only Melissa was a little older with more experience .....
