Candida for the big voice.
Kelly-Ann cuz I liked it.
Mikey cuz everyone is seeing potential in him.
Billy was good to though.

I am so bad at making decisions. LOL

Shoot, if I had to vote, I think I would probably have to go with the last one. There is just something about that song though...I am afraid I'd be voting more for the song than the singer.

Bye you two...it was a pleasure.

well Spitfire you can vote for all 4 of them so it isn't really a problem

OK, g'night all, I'm heading over to the love or money thread.

Jan

at 9:00 I could only get in to vote for Candida...but at 9:30 I could get into to anyone. No line was busy at that time.

so I voted for Kelly twice, Billy three times And Mikey and Candida 5 times.

too busy watching love or money guy make a fool of himself to vote more:)

Well no one really blew me away but I did like Kelly-Ann? The one who sang Georgia... so I got in about 6 votes for her. Oh well I'll have to switch back and forth between this and BB tomorrow night. :) I just wish they all wouldn't always sing slow songs. A lot of them did that on AI also. Why do so many sing slow songs?

At 10PM I am now having trouble geting in for Mikey. I guess it just ended in the next time zone.

Tatyana what time zone are you in? Here in EST the canadian idol show on Tuesday is on 7:30 to 8PM so it does not overlap with BB, I don't think.

The show just finished here. Weird. . the only one who "moved" me was Billy, and I haven't been a fan of his from the beginning. I so much wanted to like Danny, but he was just off.

I really like the judges. They're honest, but not mean.

If I had to predict, I'd say Mikey, Billy and Candida move on.

I have mixed feelings. Man, I like all these guys! They seem like they'd be dun to hang out with. But their songs, to me, all sucked. No one made me tingle. And man, I am really sick of ballods.

I'm with Jasonfan. I liked the judges too. They had intelligent things to say. But to be honest, I couldn't stop looking at Sass's breasts. Could that shirt have been any more low-cut?

I hope someone in the next bunch proves to have extreme raw talent.

I found last night that I couldn't really hear the words to the songs from a lot of them. I did send thru some votes for Billy, Candida and Andrew though. In the prior auditions Andrew was really good. None of them were really stand outs last night.

Kathy Ann was great at the auditions too but I really didn't like her rendition last night, it sounded all garbled half the time.

So this is where you have been hiding. Djgirl's post elsewhere alerted me to this thread.

Yeah, I watched, too, but the contestants' names are still eluding me. I figure I'll wait to learn them when they have whittled them down to the last 10.

Afraid that there would be nobody for me to vote for it came as quite a relief when the last one opened her mouth. Until then I struggled whether to even bother to dial for either the raspy voice, blond fellow (?) or the young Asian contestant. Either vote would have been without much enthusiasm though.
Were they told to submit a slow ballad and who made those choices, the contestants or the pros coaching in the background? As a viewer I was not exactly enthralled.
The judges seem to be quite fair though, giving genuine feedback without the viciousness of that Simon on AI. The guy on the far right may have the propensity to quite easily slip into that role though. Hopefully someone has him on a short leash.

I just got to watch my tape.Sadly Mikey didn't blow me away like he did in the audition,but I have faith that if he makes it through,he'll get better.Thanks to anyone who put a vote in for me......8-)
I thought Miranda was pretty good too.I like Billy's voice but that hand waving all over the place has got to go.It's worse then Trenyce's finger flapping.

Jan,That would be great if spitfire was her but she is a couple years too young according to her profile...

Top 3 based on last night for me:

- the last girl
- billy

though the performances are average for most of them, hope the next groups get better.

Went to CTV.ca to put some names to the faces/voices and it looks like we are for the most part agreed on the top 3 out of this group.

- Candida
- Billy
- Mikey

Oh great that's whom I voted for!

A pretty typical "Canadian" show-- a few flubs, honest emotions, good performances, political jabs. . .

Next week's group will be good.

i'm sad andrew didn't make it. i hope they bring him back as a wild card. i like mikey, but i thought that was a weak song for him; it just didn't work for me, and i wonder about his range. andrew wasn't as good as he has been, but he was better than mikey. now he's got range. my picks were in this order:
candida
andrew
billy
mikey

jasonfan, i thought it got pretty canadian when billy took a moment before the final reveal to say that he thought that andrew was great and that he should win. and then andrew told mikey that he rocked.

i wish that sidekick guy would disappear.

I just watched my tape of last night's show and I thought that Ben, while a doll, cannot compare to Ryan Seacrest. He flubbed a few things and got lost a few times. Mind you, I am sure it was the first time he ever hosted a live show (I sure couldn't do it) and hopefully it will get a lot better. It was so obvious that the banter between him and the judges was scripted. I hope they get real and forget the script.

I loved it when Zack said he rarely agreed with Canadian public voting "especially in some political races, Ben!" a jab to Ben's dad. Ben took it like the joke it was intended to be..

Anyway, I found it a little lame but hopefully it will improve as they get more shows under their belt.

I have a confession: I have a crush on Zack. :)
