I've been trying to get other things done while having this on in the background, but I keep having to turn around to see who the amazing singer is.

who to vote for?

I dunno Jan, he looked pretty shocked to me but I could be wrong. So far I'm liking Sherry and Sharon and this guy, didn't catch his name.

Aye, aye, aye...this is going to be hard. I like all of them except the guy with the cowboy hat.

i think I'll go for Toya..but only because I marked her with an asterisk when she sang. I know nothing about music and can't even remember her song now!

Think that I'm gonna give my vote to Sharon...she was a little hoarse tonight, but I get a good feel from her.
The hubby's gonna vote for Audrey 'cause they're both from Quebec.

But now I'm hearing Karen-lee and she's great too...it's hard pickings tonight.

wow...this is going to be a tough one. most of them were really good...

Monday, July 21, 2003 - 05:56 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Oohh, she was good too...

Anyone know why Audrey doesn't sing in French? Is she not allowed?

I'm voting for:

Tyler, Toya, Audrey, Gary, Sharon and Ryan

I didn't think the last girl was as great as the judges said. I don't get what they saw in her.

don't know but it might be that she thinks she can get more votes singing in English? or maybe it is a rule since she auditioned in English too

before the show I told myself I would pick one person and give that person all my votes...but now I don't know that I can do that! so many good ones.

Lizajane

Monday, July 21, 2003 - 06:04 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I think I'll stick with Sharon and Sherry

Lizajane - they would have to allow singing in french wouldn't they? I can't see them banning it...but maybe it would mean less votes? :( On the CTV Canadian Idol page under Audrey's profile most of the songs and singers she seems to like are english. Except Celine, of course. So, I think she's probably choosing to sing in english.

Your probably right Happypixie and Jan, I guess it could mean less votes. It just seems like so much more work for her. Personally I'd like to hear her sing a song in French, imagine how good she'd be w/out the language difficulties.

The English/French thing seems a little tricky. I know that recently there was a very popular Idol-like contest here in QC that people went nuts over. I'm sure, like with this competition, the French contest stuck with one langauge to cater to the majority of the audience.

I checked here at the first of the show and no one was here so I missed you all.

I am finally impressed by the talent on CI.

Well, how do you vote tonight, I can't, I just can't give an edge to anyone. I can think of at least 6 of them that are better than anyone that we already have.

I don't think they did a very good job selecting the groups to sing together. The judges should have done a better job of mixing up the good ones if they were the ones who did it.

We are going to lose some of the best talent even with the wild card because of the way the groups were put together.

I have an idea, throw out the 6 we have and just use this 10. lol

Llkoolaid: Excellent point, re: picking groups. I'd be curious to find out how they do pick the groups because, compared to Group 2, this group was over the top.

And you're right. Some people who deserve to be in the top ten won't be. I like Jenny, but let's face it, there were at least 4 other people from this group who deserve her spot.

That is a good thought, Llkoolaid...the way the groupings of ten was done will mean some of the best are dropped.

Gosh, this was an outstanding night for talent and such a mix of style!

Good stuff! Hopefully talent scouts will track down the ones who slip through the next pick of three.

I agree-- the best performances. No one "caught" me like Billy Klippert did, but they were all excellent. And I thought Ben was at his most relaxed tonight.

One criticism-- I found Sass to be quite "girlish" tonight in her comments. Kind of annoying.

Will the show announce who the wildcard competitors are on tomorrow's show?

I too don't like the group picking - the 3rd group is by far the strongest, and 2nd the worst. I would only pick perhaps one from the 2nd but five from last night's group. Too bad, the wild card only allows one to be in the top 10. Next week is gonna be tough... Jenny and Richie should realize how lucky they were.

Stick a fedora on Sherry's head and I really don't think her performance was one bit better, or different from the girl from Calgary in group 2, it was over-the-top, campy and cabaret.

Have to say that Ben is growing on me:)

And that kiss! Well now...how does one top that? He handled it all well and I think she did seem a little embarrassed, after the fact, that she had taken such opportunity. Live tv can be fun. lol

Wow! Did you guys just see the AI people? They sounded so good together! It was so good to see Ricki and Kimberley Locke again.
