I hope they are hiding a lot of the best! The judges have been entertaining though. They've never got this upset in prior years. Normally, they have been very friendly.

yeah - it really seems like jake doesn't get along with either farley or Zach. I wonder what the scoop is on that? I also hope they are saving the best for the show because so far???

I just watched the tape of this week's show (was away for a few days)and I have to give my honest opinion here. I was embarassed, yes embarassed. Forget my opinion on the contestants,I'm talking about the judges. What an idiotic, juvenile display! Someone in here said they were more animated this season. Animated???? They are out of friggin control. Is it normal to throw things at these innocent kids? Are you kidding me? Yes, the American Idol judges had a lot of verbal battles and Simon walking out of auditions, but nothing like what I saw on this week's show. Am I the only one that thinks this is unacceptable? I'm at a loss. I can't believe there isn't more of an uproar about this. As a Canadian, I am deeply ashamed.

I tend to agree, Maddy. It didn't thrill me either .

I always liked the Canadian judges so much in past seasons. They seemed to genuinely care about the young performers and offered constructive criticism. There was rarely anything mean about them – they were funny but they weren't mean. This year they have been funny too. I think of Zach rolling around on his chair and the judges singing. In past years, when contestants forgot the words, sometimes the judges would end up singing the song. It was great. However, I agree that there has been some meanness this year that I don't enjoy seeing at all.

I don't think any of us thought Zak and his throwing things was acceptable or entertaining. However I do think for the most part they are great at their job.

Darla Stewart the very last girl on the show, or just before this commercial lol, at five minutes to 10 is a girl that used to sing with my daughter in music festival. My opinion of her, so so, I have no idea how far she got but I can find out.She also gives voice lessons to one of Hilary's friends. I was never greatly impressed with her in festival but that is also a totally differant thing, where they are looking mainly for technical good voices where as on Idol it is more of a popularity thing with an ok voice.

Strange show today. Not sure about how I liked it. There seemed to be more of the judges and their behaviour then actual performances. Funny how one judge will like someone and the others hate em. Jake must be a co-producer or something because he seems to take control sometimes and put people thru regardless of the others.

I found the show nicer than usual - they seemed to show more of the good singers which I like. LLK, I see it is still "six degrees of LLK for singers" . Your community really has some great talent.(Didn't both George Canyon who placed second in Nashville Star plus the kid who won Rock Star INXS come from around there?) What ever happened to that boy who made it year one but then got sick and had to pull out - they invited him back year two but he didn't come??? Do you remember whom I mean? I was thinking of him just the other day for some reason.

Just watching now, there seems to be a lot of the performance I think, more so than the prior shows. Sun - Jake did say that when it was a two two tie the last judge to vote had the final say. I remember who you mean Jan, he was good and LLK did know him I think.

You are talking about Kevin Murdock, we share and aunt and uncle but are not related. The uncle is my side the aunt is his. He is still singing but haven't really asked, I will see the aunt on Saturday night, she is one of my canasta buddies. Yes George Canyon (Fred Lays is his real name) didn't know him, just know some of his family a bit and know lots that know him well. Yes,JD Fortune, not his real name either, he goes by his mothers last name, is from our area too. I didn't know him but his mom and my hairdresser who is a friend of mine are good friends, that is why I could send Landi some pics of him. My son also knows him. JD and George also went to the same highschool. Funny story about Darla Stewart, the first time I met her she joined my daughters soccer team, she had never played soccer before on a team and she was real bad. Anyway she got the ball and was heading to the goal, and it looked like she was walking funny, so everyone was yelling run Darla run, she stops, turns around huffing and puffing and says I am running. I know that doesn't sound funny but if you were there you would know. Every time Ashley talks about playing soccer one of us will say run Darla run and we all bust up laughing. Geez I do seem to know a few of them don't I, but really this is a very musical, very small town and everyone knows everyone else or someone who does.

I think that is great that you live in such a talented place - and great for us that we can get "insider" info on these people from someone who knows them or about them personally

Oh Lordy, I don't even know if I should post this but I will anyway. A friend of mine told me on Saturday night about a friend of her daughter's who made it to Toronto, she couldn't remember his name, duh, she is kind of dumb lol but loveable. Anyway this one is a guy, and that is all I know, got to do some investigating to learn who he is and who knows him so I can tell you guys about him. Darlene my friend, said he can really sing well but I don't put much stock in that cause she also thinks he daughter is an amazing singer and to me she is only passable at a party hum and strum when you are kinda drunk. Oh well she is a nice kid too. Anyway I am going to do some sleuthing and see what I can find out.

http://thechronicleherald.ca/Entertainment/509910.html hehehe didn't take long to find his name, it is Scott Decoste and he is from New Glasgow like me, I also see Darla's name on that list so I see she made it, I wasn't totally positive when I saw her on the show because it was so quick. Now that I got his name and I know quite a few Decostes I can probably get some info on who he belongs to. Off I go again lol.

Oh I have an Idea, Trevor is 28 and I can look in his year book and see if they graduated the same year then I will have a picture, I don't remember his name but there is only one highschool in New Glasgow so he had to go to school with him.

Oh sure we can discuss live here. I thought it was a pretty good show tonight. I'm never sure why the judges appear to be a bit mean to some contestants and do there best to help others, but I guess there is behind the scenes stuff that we don't see. At this point I don't have any particular favorites whereas I did at this point in past seasons. That is probably not a good sign. Overall I think the women are stronger than the men this year.

Well the 2 locals didn't make it through, actually I still don't know which one was the guy, and I can't find anyone who knows who he is. The girl Darla was the one that said she was from an itty bitty spot on the map. I didn't expect her to make it. IMO there were some good singers but I wasn't wowed like I was with the group at this stage on American Idol. Hopefully someone will stand out for me. I love the show anyway so I will find someone to root for.

I like the girl from Goderich and the one from Emeryville. I agree the women seem stronger at this point.

Really? I really liked a couple of the guys, but personality played a factor there as well? Pretty good top 22 I think,I look forward to this year!! Anyone want me to start a game now, or wait until the final 10? I'd be happy to.

I'm happy with starting the game anytime. We might want to start slow with the points and then increase the points awarded once we get to the top ten so that people who don't play from the start still have a chance. I don't know how much interest there will be though. There doesn't seem to be many posts this year.
