Just now had the time to watch last night's tape.... tried to sneak in here to post without allowing my eyes to find the name that got the send-off...failed at that.

But, I hope for the best for Jenny. I love her when she does a song that grabs my ear. Doesn't work with every song for any performer anyway and she is so unusual that I have to watch.

Ryan, yes, you still can do the job.

Billy, you are a gem. You still seem so honored and surprised and 'twinkly', that the crowd is finding your talent and charm to be real:)

Remind your brother that this is your show, even if the cameras keep finding him, please.

The theme next week is Love Songs with Celine Dion spending time with the idols. I would think this should favour Audrey. (But the way the voting is going, who knows?)

I'm disappointed Jenny went, I will miss her and she would have made a uniquely Canadian idol!

Thanks Tweety, I think you are right about it being good for Audrey, probably Gary too, but I can see Billy stepping up for this too. I, unlike a lot of people love Celine so I am looking forward to it.

I knew ahead of seeing Tuesday night's show that Jenny was going, but, it was hard to watch all the same:(

This is one special, classy young lady!

I wasn't too surprised with the results last night - I think fortuneately for Jenny she was sent home. She has such a distinct flavour and style that the title of CI would be the kiss of death for her career. They would have put this cookie-cutter image thing on her, and that wouldn't have worked for her. Farley was right when he said that she has a 30 year career to look forward to.

I personally think that the final two will be Ryan & Billy - don't ask me why, but that's how I see it. Everyone has been in the bottom 3 now - no-one's safe, and that will shake the voters up a little...

I won't be around next week - I'm on holidays (YIPPEE) without a puter, but I'll be thinking of you all!

How did you know ahead Shoofly? You mean just hours ahead from a spoiler?

The voting results don't seem to be making any sense to me. There hasn't been one week when I'm not surprised by the bottom 2 or 3 and I'm always surprised by who goes, (well, except for Mikey B.)
I'M starting to think that Canadians everywhere love an underdog. We're voting for the ones we feel sorry for, but then suddenly they have a good performance and the judges like them so we throw our votes to somebody else that we feel sorry for. Poor Toya and Ryan, they were wildcards so lets all vote for them, oh oops, sorry Candida, Karen-Leigh, Ritchie oh no, those judges are picking on that poor, strange Jenny, we better all vote for her, oh oops, sorry We lost Tyler and Mikey, ooh the judges love Audrey, but they're still picking on Jenny and Gary, oops, sorry Toya... We're not voting against the more tallented or popular ones, we're just helping out the weak ones, it's the Canadian way, it's just that when we help out the weak ones we make them strong and make the strong ones weak and then we have to make our newly apppointed weak ones strong...and it all looks very confusing when Ben makes the announcements, but really, IT's just the Canadian way.

i would really be interested in hearing a c.d. that jenny puts out.

Did anybody see Jenny interviewed on Etalk? She's just charming, and what a strong newf accent! She's says she's going to buy a hair straightener, pack up her new clothes and makeup and go back home and play music with the Whiskey Kittens! LOL (guess she's still Jenny from the dock!)

Kellirippa, I am on the West Coast, so reading posts from the Eastern time zone, I knew before the show was on for us here.

LOL Kelli! Jenny from the dock!!! Good one! :)

I saw all the CI coverage on eTalk Daily. And after seeing it, I have to say, I'm sick of Audrey. I want her gone.

Kellirippa

Oh ok Shoofly, I thought maybe a little of Scorpiomoon's psychic energy was rubbing off.

(OK, I don't know anything about Scorpiomoon, I'm just making assumptions based on her name )

What is it about Audrey that's getting under your skin Scorpio? I'm not saying that I disagree, I'm just interested in your take on her.

I LOVED the best of the worst production number, now that was funny.

(The rest of the show however was oddly disturbing)

I still can't figure out why Ben was singing - that was just too funny!!!

The worst of CI was very funny and I loved the production number at the end. It ended up being good natured instead of cruel. I'm concerned with how CI is going now. The voting seems to be regionally motivated rather based on talent. I checked the ctv messageboards and it gets intense in there. I think the best singers have been voted out.

Hate to argue with you Alegria but if the votes are regionally motivated how did Ryan get in the bottom 2 when he comes from the place with the largest population.

I think it is just that when we think a favorite is safe we get lazy and when we think they are in trouble we get off our butts and vote for them.

I do agree with you that the best singers have been eliminated. That sucks.

etalk daily, which is on now on CTV in EST, is doing quite a lot of coverage on Can. idol tonight in preparation for tonight's show. It's the Celine Dion stuff tonight. They are also doing a recap so they are showing the AMerican Idol stuff when they were in Toronto, as well.

Okay its only 25 mins into the show and we're on the last contestant...don't tell me we get half an hour of Celine.

Nevermind I guess they are doing 2 songs each.

what do you think so for Liza?

You know, this show is just annoying me.

It pains me to say this (because I'm not a Billy fan) but he was best tonight. The rest were average at best.

I'm getting irritated with the cheesy lines Ben tries to pull off. He's not funny at all.

And why the hell is Sass Jordan even there? To boost her career? She comes up with the most useless comments, "Nice job!", "You rock!". Oh please.

I think Gary will be booted tomorrow.

Kellirippa: I didn't see your question (direct toward me re: Audrey) until tonight. My dislike of her is purely subjective--not intellectual or logical. I just don't like her and I get the feeling the "fame" is going to her head more than with the others. That bothers me.
