I really missed Canadian Idol. Didn't realize how much until I watched the auditions last night. :-)

I think this year I am going to wait to watch until the voting shows start since I have to download. (plus I don't really enjoy the auditons) I am drawing a blank, does CI voting start at top 24 like AI? I've watched like 4 seasons of CI and have totally forgotten when voting starts.

I can't remember for sure myself but I think in past seasons, CI has stuck with the original AI method. That is having four quarterfinals with voting. The two with the top votes (either male or female) in each quarterfinal advance. They then have a wildcard round where two more advance. That makes up the top ten.

It was a good episode tonight. I'm interested to see how the 'lounge singer' from Vancouver will do singing modern songs. Also wondering why they let the guy who sings metal and has the father who sings opera adn both were dressed in leather go through. (Geesh, sorry for the run on sentence, I'm sure you know what I meant to say. lol)

Last week they had another "sympathy" vote. A girl from small town Sask. was let through so she could experience the big city. Hardly seems fair to those who are good but just not quite there yet.

I didn't know it started, my brother called and said he was watching with a couple of friends, one is from the states and he said he was embarassed by the lack of talent, asked what I thought, I turned it on and called him back, I too was embarassed, not one did I see that impressed me. I hope they didn't show the good ones, cause if what I saw is what we have I won't be wasting my summer on it.

Caught it tonight for the first time this season and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's so much LESS of a circus than AI even with 4 judges. LOVED the kids in the intro pretending to be the judges. They looked spot on, especially the kid who played Ben. hahaha.

I have been thoroughly entertained by the audition shows. I don't really expect to see the real talent in these shows, you don't in AI usually either. There is a more home grown feel to CI that I appreciate more, AI is more slick"ified" imo. I look forward to seeing how this season progresses, to be quite on honest AI lost me as a regular viewer by mid season. I was basically ffing thru PVR copies for scoring purposes of the game only.

It's funny Jasper. Maybe it depends on mood? Last season CI lost me completely right at the top 10. I enjoyed AI this year and I'm also enjoying this season of CI so far. I just hope they keep a few of the more unique people around for the top 10 this year. I love the judges and the general "feel" of the CI show.

I really like these judges... And I'm wondering how old Sass is cuz damn!! shes pretty hot. I had to stop watching the last show I recorded cuz it was pretty emotional...that young guy who's mom was battling cancer and didn't have long to live and then they put out a dedication to her...poor kid.. Looking forward to watching the rest of that...and then Top 200 starts tomorrow night..YAY

Still loving the brothers. Liked Mookie too. I think the guys are much stronger than the girls. Another emotional night with Omar's story of his brother's death.

I didn't really watch the show last night but heard most of it. From a listening point of view the males were far superior to the females. Some very good voices this year. On another note, I have not been in here for awhile and noticed there are some fellow Canadians that I have never "met." So hi to Ritsin and Trini! Pretty bad seeing as you have both been here awhile.

I am pleased with the final 24 but can someone please explain to me how that guy with the dangely earrings and the greasy black hair got to the last round. He was beyond horrible.

I am so pleased with Canadian Idol this year! It was nice to see that the judges kept people who they thought were potentially great singers. They did not feel the need to divide up an even number of girls vs. guys. As well, kudos to them for pushing it to be a Top 24. There are some seriously talented males this year and they all deserved a shot - Yay

ITA Llkoolaid. He seemed shocked when the judges actually gave him a golden ticket, like he KNEW he was awful. I suppose he could have assumed they would reject him because he was "different" (and because they commented on his unusual style), but I personally think it's more because he knew he was terrible. Then in Toronto he sounded just as bad, but also forgot words repeatedly! His "look" wasn't exactly helping matters, either. Btw -- his partner for groups was also terrible (probably because no one wanted to work with either of them, IMO). Still better than earring guy, though. My fave is Martin Kerr, but he's not a strong fave since I like several of the others as well.

ITA Serenity - glad to see they went with talent versus an even split of male/female. Looking at the top 24 it is going to be so hard to whittle them down to 10. Regarding Omar and his last audition we saw where he talked about his brother, I thought it was his worst one and didn't get any feeling from him it at all. I actually thought he was going to get cut.
