I like Amberley, but that was performance was weak, REALLY wish she would have picked a different song. But Jacob's "Space Oddity" is in my Top 5
list of greatest Idol performances of all time so I admit to being extremely biased. Sebastian is hotter than the fucking sun, but he needs to either play the
guitar throughout the song or not bother with it (and stop flailing his bloody right arm around, made me want to break out the duct tape). Theo continues to
pwn everyone else, Earl continues to be off in his own appealing little bubble, and Mark continues to both suck and blow (and to outlast better contestants

In my opinion, from best to worst:
-Theo. Beautiful rendition- I agree that he needs to try something new, though. -Mitch. He stepped out of his box and showed he's more than a singer-songwriter type. *small gap* -Amberly. It was a wee bit boring, but I thought it sounded beautiful. She should make sure that the emotion shows 100% of the time because that's what she brings best. -Katherine. Nice job-- she's improving, but still has light years to go. -Earl. Good voice tonight but he's painful to watch. I hate the stage-sauntering. *gap* -Sebastian. I didn't get why it was so bad in the judges' mind. Same as usual. Still a good performance if not good singing. -Mookie. Not bad, but not great. Very boring. *gap* -Drew. Not as good as he could be. Needs to step it up. -Adam. Got the audience riled up with the motorcycle, but then fell flat... as usual. -Mark. I don't know what was worse: the fake dance movements last week or the real but oh-so-bad dance movements this week. All in all, I thought tonight's performances were good, but would have been great had the theme allowed for song choices that were better known, especially considering Canadian Idol's very young audience. |

The only people that are dead.to.me are people that like or are voting for Mark. So that pretty much makes everyone on this board alive.to.me.
As for tonight.... Drew - meh, I don't find him memorable at all. next Adam - I thought he did pretty well tonight. He sounded in tune and one of the judges made a good point about him voice not being melodic. If he's here next week I would like to see him put down the guitar and sing something with more melody. Mark - Sanjaya-lite, except more annoying than entertaining. go home Mookie - I absolutely love this song but he disappointed me with it. It needed more intensity or something. meh Amberly - My favorite so far. It didn't make me think of Jacob that much because they are both so different. Sebastian - I can stare at him all day but that was terrible. But I hope he sticks around because he can do better. Earl - He's more stoned that Jason Castro. I was shocked at how many people came to him home-coming party. Katherine - I don't understand why people hate this girl so much. I hope she stays because she's talented and because she's female. Theo - Step away from the instrument. We know you can play. Good as always. Next CI? Perhaps Mitch - He surprised me. I thought he did pretty well and I don't really care for him. B: Adam H: Mark G: Sebastian |

After just watching Fat Clay.. this show is officially
Drew singing from a drum set, Adam riding in on a Harley and butchering the song. And the 10s of people in the idols home towns.. OVERWHELMING!!! ... this show is .. PATHETIC! Maybe Earl, Theo or Amberley can help this abortion of a show. and now Mookie.. I have 2 words for you about this song... JORDIS UNGA!! Listen to how it should be sung! |

Yeah, Zebra is pretending to like NewFaFu. He didn't get the memo that even roadie isn't doing it this year. So it's pretty much a waste of time.

Okay--here is what I wrote watching the performances:
Drew--Bad choices: the drums and showing the girlfriend, cause that just loses you a TON of votes--however, I really like his voice. Performed first behind drums, not sure he'll survive it, but I think he should stay more than... Adam--sorry, one gimmick too many and the boy can't seem to sing in anything other than a monotone. Plus, he always sings up into the mike which makes me think "Raise the effing mike!" but I guess that is his thing. Had good energy, though, but I am not a fan. Mark--looked like the love child of Meatloaf and Rosie O'Donnell. I don't know what to say it was so bad. (Did he actually do a shimmy? Ugh.) Mookie--I thought this was a Nirvana song lol--sorry, haters, I love this kid--singing 5, vibe 10. Amberly--I know I'm going to be dead to someone here, but while I really like her and she has such a pretty voice and adds little unique touches to the melody, this song deserves to be sung where you can feel longing, fear, anger, etc. and she didn't even come close. Sebastian--Absolutely horrible. Horrible. (Oh my side note said: Eeeew! Was that the Rock Star: Supernova winner in the audience in his home town clip?) Earl--his dog is a lhasa or shit tzu? <3 My lhasa and I put him through on that alone. (kidding) He really is compelling and bizarre to watch but I liked him tonight. Needs to keep his eyes open more. Among other things. Like standing up straight occasionally. Katherine: Great voice, great stage presence, mediocre artistry. Theo--I love him but he is going to have to get away from that piano and prove he can perform and not just sing. I didn't love his song choice. Mitch--Really like Mitch tonight, great job. Stylists need to do something with his hair stat. Right now it's part rocker, part balding choir boy and it is just not working. That's it for me! Off to read what y'all thought. |

Drew - I give him points for drumming, but without it, the whole performance would've been uninspiring and forgettable. Adam - His best performance on the show so far but I'm getting tired of his monotonous vocals. The motorcycle bit was total gimmick. Mark - Mookie - Not his best, but still not bad. I think he's in danger to leave this week. Amberly - Much better than last week, I think I would've liked it even more if there were no drums. Sebastian - Erm... I liked it but his vocals were not there tonight so I totally get the judges' criticisms. He's gonna skate by anyway due to his hotness factor. Earl - His best performance so far. He was tolerable tonight. Katherine - Hmmm. Another good performance from someone I don't really care. Not liking the Avril Lavigne's pink-over-blonde streaks. Still not liking her tone. Theo - When are we going to see him move around on stage and sing with just a microphone? It was good. Mitch - He too did good tonight. The pimp spot should help him. Ranking: 1. Mookie 2. Mitch 3. Amberly 4. Sebastian 5. Theo 6. Katherine 7. Mark 8. Earl 9. Adam 10. Drew |

RB, did you seriously rate Mark anything but last?

I'm afraid so dags! He was the most entertaining tonight. That bumped him up a bit.

I am really worried about Amberly. A middle performance + bad reviews + a final good review that makes voters think it's okay not to vote for her this
week = shocker boot?
Let's hope not. She should be top 3 easily. |

I'm still a CI newbie, but I doubt Amberly is going anywhere.

The theme sucked. I love David Bowie, but it would have been better to have the Canadian Hit theme or even just Billboard top 10's. I listened to Ben in a
radio interview this morning, and as much as I hate his cheesy-ness on the show, he's actually pretty well spoken and has a decent sense of humour.
My thoughts: Drew - I really like his voice, and I keep waiting for him to step it up and blow something out of the park. He hasn't done it yet, but I keep hoping he will before he runs out of time. Adam - My fave going in, and my biggest disappointment now. Bad song choices most weeks, and completely uninteresting, IMO. Mark - OMG, get this fucker OFF my TV. I don't think I can handle another week of this. Mookie - Not his best performance, but guy's got a great voice and a great vibe. He should be in the top 3, but he likely won't. Amberly - This may cause many explosions of DTM, but she's just okay for me. Pretty voice, pretty girl. Sebastian - Never liked him that much. Ollie should have made it instead of him. Earl - Started off crappy, but when the song got more lyrical towards the end, I really enjoyed it. Katherine - I don't get it. I really don't. Theo - I love him, and I hope he wins the whole thing. He's in danger of becoming too predictable. He needs to switch it up a bit next week. He could blah blah the phone book blah blah and all that. Mitch - Best performance from him so far. But I'm not a fan. I really really want Mark to go home, but I fear it will be Drew or Adam. |

Drew - How is he still here? Pleasant sounding, but blah.
Adam - How is he still here? He's so not as good as he thinks he is. Another meh performance. Mark - It's like he knows it doesn't matter how bad he is. He's Sanjaya, without the likability. This is too gay, even for me. Mookie - Still not a big fan of his growl. This episode sucks so far. Amberly - Like Drew, pleasant voice, but blah. Sebastian - Yeah, I still hate his voice. Very spastic performance. Earl - No, just no. I don't get the love at all for him. He's fucking horrible. Katherine - I still love the tone of her voice. Definitely the better female at the moment. Either the band was too high or she was singing too low at some points. Theo - Points off for the person with the sign that said Theo is Tamtastic. I agree with everyone that he's great, but needs to expand his performances and get up from behind an instrument (or at least stand). Mitch - He's been very hit or miss for me the past few weeks. More of a hit tonight, especially considering what else I listened to. I liked the last 3 tonight; that's about it. |

Nobody that didn't like Goddess's performance last night is not DTM (except Jake, Sass and Farley) as long as they still love her.
Not her best but she's still wonderful to listen to and of course the emotion is beautiful. bucking fitch I don't even know who you are so you're neutral to me thus far. Vote for Amberly but don't worry too hard about her. Given the history of the show she's not going anywhere just yet. If a girl is going to go early again this year it will be wonderful but admittedly over pimped Katherine. The judges refuse to point out her flaws and that will begin to annoy a lot of people. Even though I loved Amberly's "Space Oddity" if anything with CI Jake, Sass and Farley are doing her a favour. Complacency is always a huge issue with Idol and when you treat a contestant like they're perfect then they're going to be in danger. Katherine will be the first victim of this and Theo will probably be the second unless Zack keeps the other 3 in line and points out that Theo is great but is not flawless. No one ever has CI in the bag (androgynous wonder not withstanding).

Ok, just watched. It was a decent night, no one was really bad (aside from Mark) but no one was fantastic either.
Rankings 1.Mitch - lol at trying to look tough with stubble. Go back to the nerd chic look Mitch, it was much more convincing 2.Earl - Drunken stumbling on stage <3. I loved his arrangement though 3.Amberly - Gorgeous as always and she did a good job with a song that is classic to Canadian Idol 4.Sebastian - I didn't mind it. 5.Mookie - Probably my favorite Bowie song. I expected a lot more from Mooks. But I guess he can't be great every week 6.Drew - I'm still shocked he's there. I liked it but am yet to see him recapture of the magic of his performance in Toronto 7.Adam - Am I the only one who thinks trying to be a rebel on that motorcycle is pointless. I dunno how bikes are up in Canada, but that thing just doesn't look all that cool. 8.Theo - He needs to continue playing the piano every week. I'm starting to get a bit of a Ben Folds feel to him. But this week was forgettable 9.Katherine - You aren't a rocker, go away 10.Mark - Seething hate I'm thinking Adam is gonna go home. Drew and Katherine round out the bottom 3 |
