I'll concede that Tyler wasn't the best vocally, but he was entertaining and unique..and since the actual winners of Canadian Idol seem to have no relevance in even the Canadian music industry, Canadian Idol is all about the TV show. What we have in store for this summer is (in my opinion) cookie cutter. The remaining 10 will have good performances and bad performances, one will go each week and it will be, "oh..too bad.." Carly and Greg will be the final two, Carly will win, she'll get to release her Idol ballad and sing on the show next season to promote her debut album. If I have one bit of interest in the rest of the season it is this, will Zack be able to get away with an entire season of "what you do isn't my thing, I don't get you, I have no comment so I'll throw to Jake", every time Jaydee or Tara perform? And in related science news, it has been reported that Jimmy Osmond's DNA was stolen for use in a bizarre cloning experiment, the result can be seen through-out the summer on CTV's Canadian Idol in the form of Jaydee Bixby!.

I watched....it was...'ok'. Last night I really enjoyed Jaydee. My stars Carly and Greg didn't do as well as I thought they should have. I'm now routing for Mila, I like her. The rest to me are mediocre.

My thoughts exactly Miz. I watched in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep and was seriously underwhelmed. Poor Mila as well. Jaydee is just so darn cute.

by the way, once the program in onair in EST ,you no longer need to use spoiler boxes. If Central or PST or MST people don't want to know, they shouldn't visit the thread till after they see the show  (you can use the box if you want to . I am only saying that you don't have to. Once the EST showing in on, it is no longer spoiling.)

I just watched last nights show. They had them singing as a group; Carly was terribly off key. I wonder what happened to her? Is she cracking under pressure? I really didn't think they got the bottom 3 right and I REALLY didn't think they got it right to have Mila leaving. I hope Carly does better next week.

Ok watched it LATE last night. 60's night. Jaydee was first to perform. To my disappointment he wasn't as good last night plus he didn't take a risk and did his usual 'Elvis' voice. Carly (To my enjoyment) was back on track as was Greg. Martha was not as good as she normally is. Overall everyone had good performances last night but I think Jaydee and Martha might be in the bottom 2.

I thought the show was great. Matt did fantastic and I was impressed he got two standing ovations from the judges!

I agree Serenity. I'm not a big Matt fan but last night's performance was thrilling. I also loved Carly Rae's version of Georgia.

Does anyone know where I can see/hear Matt Rapley's performance? I hear I missed a good one. . . (He just graduated from my old high school. . .)

There have been postings of Matt on youtube but I just checked and it's not up yet. Maybe in the next couple of days. Sorry to see Khalila going. I really thought her shout out to Quebec might have saved her with a few extra votes. Happy to see Carly avoided the bottom 3. She should do well next week.

Youtube has Matt singing Whipping Post. It's on the same clip as Tara. Tonight's show was pretty blah save for Carly and Greg. Judges were right about the fact they all have good voices but lack the punch. (My words not theirs.)

Carly knocked it out of the ball park for me!! Greg was good too but I happen to like the song Carly choose to sing more than the song Greg sung. GO CARLY! I would definitely buy her CD.
