Jan | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 05:40 pm     who was it who said it the other day..it is the Canadian way. We vote for the underdog and so the best get kicked off as the lesser underdogs get moved up. Whoever it was (sorry I forget ) really hit the nail on the head IMHO |
Llkoolaid | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 06:11 pm     Karen Lee is shining tonight, why isn't she in the final 2, heck why isn't she Canadian Idol? |
Tweety | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 06:23 pm     First of all, thanks to all that responded to my inquiry re programming times. According to Ben 3.3 million votes were cast in a record two hours last night. According to TVCH posters, I would put the window at 4 hours. But still WAY TO GO CANADA, on a population basis, I think it's a higher participation rate than for AI. More importantly, we now know live is not the same for all of Canada, and we're moments away from results. So "West people", do you want us "East people" on the board to remain silent until you get to see the show? Posting quickly to see the results so sorry if there's typos in this post. . . |
Shoofly | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 06:27 pm     Tweety, go for it. I would like to know. Also, is it worth taping? Please and thanks |
Llkoolaid | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 06:33 pm     Ryan won, I am disappointed, it should have been Karen-lee, Ryan was my least favorite of the 11. |
Llkoolaid | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 06:36 pm     Tape it, it is a really good show. |
Tweety | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 06:39 pm     (Teaser) and the winner is . . . whoever wrote the lyrics for the Canadian Idol song - what great words for the victorious Idol to sing! |
Shoofly | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 06:41 pm     Thanks, Llkoolaid I will tape and cheer for them all. I am sure that they learned a lot about the fickle nature of fans. Congratulations to Ryan. As I said before, I hope all with a fan base will be able to continue in the entertainment industry. I will be back later after I see the show or tape, to give my 2 cents. |
Shoofly | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 06:43 pm     Tweety, you are a teaser. Will you buy their music? |
Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 06:51 pm     I will say this: Even though I lost patience with this show a few weeks ago, tonight's show got me choked up. It was so good to see everyone back again. I loved the Canadian song medley. It was a great show. |
Tweety | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 06:51 pm     Shoo, it's definitely worth taping! Wish I had, but I have a feeling CTV will re-air. In fact I don't know what they're going to do for programming now this show is over ;-) Watching the Top 11, I think Tyler is my Idol (although I missed two weeks when he got voted out). I agree with other posters that the final two weren't necessarily the best. However, on another note (no pun intended), listening to Ruben tonight, I thought I would be more proud to have either one of our two finalists as Idol than him (but I was and still am a Clay fan!) Now that LL's spoiled, way to go Ryan! But I also really liked Kevin, maybe he'll be back next year. |
Tweety | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 07:00 pm     Good news for all. According to E-Talk, BMV has rights to all 11 finalists for 30 days. So who knows what other recording deals are in the making. Shoo, I would buy Ryan before Gary (although I think I would enjoy a live performance more!) I am also very intrigued by Jenny. |
Llkoolaid | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 07:07 pm     Wasn't it shown live in the West, it was on the National right after the show.I can't believe all of Canada didn't get to hear who the winner was at the same time. Bring on American Idol. I was a Clay fan he lost, I was a Richie,Karen-lee, Tyler, Toya, Audrey, Billy, Gary fan, they lost. Next time I am going to support who I least favor and boo my favorite, and maybe then my favorite might win. |
Tweety | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 07:20 pm     I don't think all of Canada knows yet, LL. A promo for the National just ran here (Ontario) and they showed a cut of Gary singing even though we know Ryan won. I agree in terms of reverse supporting favourites - that's what usually happens to me! BTW LL, where are you really from - you spell "favorite" like an American! |
Kellirippa | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 08:43 pm     Yeah.....I FINALLY BACKED THE RIGHT HORSE!! Sorry for your dissappointment LLKool, But I for one am very pleased with Canada's choice!!! (p.s. Jan, that Canadian way person was me, but in my opinion, my own theory was disproven, I really believe the best man won!) |
Kellirippa | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 08:48 pm     Wouldn't a Richie and Jenny final 2 have been a total hoot!! This was a great thread with interesting people, I think I'm going to re-read the whole damn thing!! |
Flamingo | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 08:52 pm     Karen Lee is owning this show tonight, I can't believe she was the first one voted off. Yay Ryan!! |
Jimmer | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 09:24 pm     I thought Karen Lee was great too and I couldn't believe it when she was eliminated so early in the competition. I was also a big Jenny fan but her performance tonight was pretty weird (even by Jenny standards) as if she really wasn't into it. As for the final two, it was a toss-up. Both are decent singers. Gary seems more likeable but Ryan sure can sing. Also, we loved Ruben's performance. The crowd went crazy before he even sang a note. I'm one of those people who was cheering for Clay (and thought he should have won), but really like Ruben as well. Overall they did a good job filling in the two hours. |
Kellirippa | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 10:07 pm     Yup, gotta give cudos, I missed the first few weeks of this show, so I didn't really know who she was, but that Karen Lee is fantastic. |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 01:09 am     With you Kelli! Over time, Karen Lee really impressed me. She should have gone farther. "Wouldn't a Richie and Jenny final 2 have been a total hoot!!" LOL! That would have been a hysterical! My final thoughts (I think): I'm thrilled Ryan won. I like him for many of the same reasons I liked Clay. For one thing, he's not a "cookie cutter" pop star. Ryan is way more cooler than Clay is though. When I was watching tonight's show, I couldn't help but think of the show "Popstars" and how Sugar Jones had one single, got a bit of attention and then fizzled. I hope that doesn't happen to Ryan. And I the stigma of being a reality TV show winner doesn't hurt him in the end. I will be most curious to see if any of these guys go on to do amazing things. I've enjoyred sharing the CI experience with all of you. |
Llkoolaid | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 02:57 am     Pure Canadian Tweety but just a sucky speller or should I say a lazy spell checker. I didn't even realize I was spelling it wrong. It must be lack of sleep from all the voting. |
Spitfire | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 05:49 am     Karen-Lee.....man she is good. I would have like to see more of her. You don't see to many "rocker-chicks" anymore and it was refreshing. I think the producers certainly saw the talent in her being as she fronted alot of the songs last night. Good luck to her. Tyler...kinda the same reaction. He got lost in the shuffle to soon to. I think he is a unique talent and deserves to move on to better things. Out of the two who were left I am happy that Ryan won and hope that he does OK. I just hope they don't give him cheesy stuff to record which would make him fizzle fast. Jimmer ITA with the Jenny performance last night. I was a big fan of hers (still am) but last night was just plain weird. It's been fun all. Oh ya I read an aticle in the local newspaper today By Angela Pacienza of the Canadian Press and these couple of things caught my attention.... - FreemantleMedia and 19 Entertainment are at work on a global competition pitting the winners of all the different permutations of Idol against each oter. Malcolm, 23 of Kingston will be the Canadian entry. - Voting rules have yet to be announced althought it's been suggested citizens wouldn't be allowed to vote for their home competitor to ensure countries with larger populations, like China, wouldn't be guaranteed the crown. - John Brunton, one of CI's executive producers said the show's bigwigs have been impressed with Canada's take on the franchise.. Freemantle and 19 saw the quality of the kids that were in our show and all of a sudden became really excited as to how they could participate in international idol. He said "They thought the level of talent was fantastic." |
Djgirl5235 | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 06:12 am     Spitfire - thanks for the info hon! I was happy with the outcome last night, but music is subjective to the listener and I have always preferred Ryan over Gary. As for the rest of them, it was a good show last night but I wasn't disappointed with the results ever throughout the run of the show. What I find interesting is that I didn't like Ryan when he first entered the Top 30, but he got my attention on the night of the Wildcard show and I have only voted for him since. He has been consistent throughout, and I'm happy with the results. Congrats Ryan, and good-luck in World Idol!!! Now, who to root for... Ryan or Kelly???? |
Djgirl5235 | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 06:14 am     Something More is playing right now on my radio (Mix 99.9 in T.O) and he sounds AMAZING!!!! Really clear and full of passion - really nice. |
