Wow!!! What a difference between CI and AI auditions. I really enjoyed tonights show.There is alot of respect for the Kids who try out for this.They aren't battered around as much.The comedy sketches of Ben and Jon are cute and the tribute at the end was really sweet.I'm not fustrated at the end of the show like I am when I watch AI.If it continues like this I am going to enjoy watching.I hope Kalan will have an appearance some time to show how well he is doing.I love his new single "In Spite Of It All". So far my favorite is the girl who sang those real high notes with the dark hair that everyone said yes to except Zack. Everyone keep your eye out for the CTV idol,Colleen.I saw her audition live at Fairview Park Mall. She's not too bad but I preferred a girl named Brittany. I think Colleen is auditioning in Ottawa.

I agree, Luv. I felt much better after watching this. I thought the editing (not necessarily the judges) was much "kinder" to the kids who couldn't sing.

REally really really enjoyed Monday's show, just watched it today. Looks like it will be tough, lots of talent. It was odd though that there were several people, that girl Raven that Luv mentionned include, that everyone BUT Zack liked. Jake was on CHUM FM today and he said they picked people with personality and charisma as well, lots of interesting people. Let's see how the east coasters go.

so far east coasters are a little disappointing. Scorpio and Crossfire can I put you down on the game list? Starting when we get to the public voting. Anyone else let me know. From last year we had Alib, Alegria, Jhonise, MacDanny, Queenbee, Scrapforme and Tweety as well, any of you out there and want to play let me know, all newcomers welcome as well!

I can't remember Jasper, but I do know that I really like how they handle/edit the bad singers. They really try hard not to humiliate them it seems to me!

One of the things that I like the most about Canadian Idol is our judges. They make intelligent comments, they are entertaining but they aren’t mean for the sake of being mean and they truly seem to care about finding talented people that will make the show interesting. They are the best.

Jasper: Yep. Please do include me. Jimmer: I agree with you about the judges. On another note: Is it just me or does anyone else tingle or get a tad bit emotional when they show footage of the various cities and do/show things that are distinctively Canadian? Also, I found a Web site that offers the shows in torrent form. If anyone ever misses a show and wants to download it, let me know.

Scorpio, I know what you mean. I especially enjoyed the group singing that song about Cape Breton.

Am I nuts or did they give a gold ticket to that large girl with the red cheerleader outfit on?? She couldn't sing at all, I thought she was one of the joke ones, and then they showed her holding a gold ticket??!!!

She said it's not to go to Toronto, they had all signed it for her.

Wow, Tatyana, that is so cool, Danalise has actually been to my house. I will tell you a little bit about her. 5 years ago she was in Halifax on a music trip. This guy in Halifax (Cowey or something like that, I think he is full of himself )has been bringing them in for years. You may have seen on tv, Los Primos, they are a group of young musicians from Cuba. Danalise sang for their stage band.Anyway, my connection, albeit miniscule is this. The band director at our school is buddies with this guy in Halifax who organizes this exchange and way back then they had some fund raisers to help buy instruments and pay for the exchange. They brought them to our school and needed parents to billet the kids from Cuba. I took 3 boys. They were here for 2 nights and on the second night my daughter threw a party for her band and the Cuban kids. Danalize was staying up the street with Ashley's friend. She was a good singer, actually amazing for her age, but she was just a tiny thing. I didn't recognize her until she spoke. Anyway less than a week after she left us, we heard she had defected. Not sure if I have this completely right but I think the musical director from Los Primos had defected the year before, and she went to her. She was only a teenager. I always wondered what became of her. Anyway, Ashley and I are also going to throw all our votes to her. I know I have some pictures somewhere, I will try and dig them out so you can see her like a remember her.

I'll vote for her too, you guys, as I have no preference and like to vote for someone who knows someone (but LLK you must come from a really musical town as you know so many of these contestants over the years!!!! I am envious.

Lat night was such a good show! I am enjoying all the Ben/Jon exchanges as well. I wish that the Americans could get this show as well. The audition shows were great and would be a wonderful example of what the AI production staff should look at for next year. After each show I felt good, most of the show was a laugh with only a rare cringe worthy moment. I turned it off smiling and felt good for all those people.

Yup own town is very musical, with a highschool population somewhere around 1000 and an enrolement in the music department around 300 I'd say tht is quite a lot. My husband played in local bands for years along with my bil and now my son does so we have always had a connection with people in music around here. The thing is it is a small place, my family has been here for generations, if I don't know someone, chances are I know someone who does. Really I don't know Danalese, she was just a kid when she was here and wouldn't have a clue who I am, I just remember her because of her defecting and I always wondered what happened to her. I was told she was in New Brunswick but didn't hear of her again until I saw her on the show Tuesday night. Anyway I am still looking for those pictures, Ashley said she is sure there are some in one of her albums which are packed away but we will dig through someday and find them. I know this kid will go far in the contest because she has a beautiful voice so I can't wait to show you guys what she looked like when she first came to Canada.
