I'm predicting she'd fall into a coma drooling before she even heard the duet.

Another Canadian Idol contestant joins Eva Avila and Hedley in V-Fest Montreal this summer...

If it makes you feel better roadie they spelled her name wrong on the official V-Fest website.

I was thinking last night: Canada is a nation of 33 million; the US has nearly 10 times that amount. If musical talent is dispersed at an even rate per
capita, then only one out of every ten CI singers would have been able to cut it on American Idol. Looking at each season's top 10 (or top 22, whatever),
which one or two from each season would have been able to hold their own on American Idol?
Making it even more concrete, Canadian Idol was usually one season behind the US version of the show (Season 2 of Canadian Idol took place just after Season 3 of American Idol wrapped up). Trying to match seasons, how might Kalan, Theresa, and Jacob have done on AI3, or Theo, Mitch, and Amberly have done on AI7, etc.? This was just a game I was playing in my head last night. If it spurs discussion, great. If not, that's cool, too. |

We all love this kind of shit. I'll have to think about it a bit first though.
Personally though I choose to believe that Canada has more talent though. :P |

Going with only one per season per top 10, my "team" that I'd send south of the border would consist of:
CI1: Billy CI2: Jacob (though the fangirls would easily love Kalan too I suspect) CI3: Melissa (I wanna send Josh, but he's too unique for the Yanks) CI4: Eva CI5: Jaydee (fangirls + country = win) CI6: God, what an awful season. I don't see any one of the top 10 as an obvious lock choice. But by process of elimination I leave myself with Amberly. |

Season 6 actually has the most people I like in retrospect but I don't know if AI would go for any of them except maybe piano Theo. Maybe, maybe, maybe,
maybe Amberly.

I highlighted who I think has the best chance.
CI1: I'd like to think Billy but it could be Toya. Also Karen-Lee would do well with the Country vote. They could all hold there own I think. CI2: Kalan, Shane, and Elena would do well. I would love to see what America thought of Jacob though. CI3: I honestly don't think anyone in the top 10 would get very far on AI. Ashley would probably have the best chance. CI4: Eva (duh) CI5: Jaydee (I agree with SG), Carly Rae maybe since Megan Joy was popular and Carly is better than her. Matt Rapley could be the next Ruben Studdard CI6: Theo, Amberly, Katherine, Omar, Drew, Oliver, Katelyn, fangirls might like Mookie |

CI2: Kalan, Shane, and Elena would do well. I would love to see what America thought of Jacob though.At first I thought what about Theresa and then I realized Simon is too fucking thick to get her. He'd probably feed her the same kind of bullshit about being too nice, too humble, having no personality, that her performances are too small for the stage etc etc that he fed Kris. I'd like to think Amberly would do well and maybe she would but I dunno. Simon would probably think the same thing about her performances being "too small for the stage." Kristen Baldwin's comment on the Idolatry finale was perfect, "so what, folk artists just shouldn't do concerts." Simon doesn't at all appreciate subtlety and people like Theresa/Amberly aren't loud enough or in your face enough to impress Simon. Where the CI judges were in love with something like "Everything I Own" or Zack loving the Natalie Merchant version of "Space Oddity" she did Simon would probably hate it and be like wtf. Beauty and simplicity are wasted on that egotistical moron and I think that's something a lot of CI contestants have that a lot of AI ones lack. |

Simon would've get Theresa for sure. But then again he did like Jason and Brooke so who knows. He probably likes them but not enough to win. I wonder
what he would've thought of Jacob. Blue spandex suit and all.
I was thinking about this the other day but I would absolutely kill for an Amberly/Kris duet. Their voices would sound amazing together I think. |

Amberly and Kris would sound beautiful together. A "Falling Slowly" duet, *faints*

dies Kris and Melissa would be good too. A When I Fall duet. dies again |
||||||||
suckshardcore |
||||||||

I still have "When I Fall" on my iPod. Barenaked Ladies week was my favourite Melissa week, I love that and "The Old Apartment."
Jacob and Adam would be good. It would be so over the top and flaming though the building would catch on fire. Now I want an Amberly/Kris duet Max and it will never happen. *cries* |

Jacob and Adam can wear matching blue spandex suits.
Now I want an Amberly/Kris duet Max and it will never happen. *cries*I blame Gokey. cries |

Gokey is a good choice. It's probably his fault. On top of being a fat homophobe he probably hates Canada too. Either that or he just wants to eat
Canadians.

I'd only send Eva south of the border and the band Hedley, not Jacob alone. The only two I see that would have a significant shot at success there. |

I think he means actual contestants to compete on American Idol.
HOLY SHIT #29 That's certainly better than most of us predicted. That said we still don't know how much he sold to hit that #. Eminem's album is at #1 and it debuted with 63,826 in Canada. Some more telling #s, and they are not good. In the Canadian market - Method Man & Redman Blackout 2 debut at No.10 selling 3,181 and Busta Rhymes Back On My B.S. debuts at No.19 selling 2,154.So at 10 spots below that I would imagine Theo sold 1000 copies or less. Why exactly do we even have a Top 100 chart? Clearly #100 only sold like 2 copies this week. (it's actually Carrie Underwood but that album's been out for like 2 years now). |

alol. 29.
Did any of us predict sales numbers? We should have tried to predict those instead. Chart position is all relative. |
||||||||

I don't know if we will ever actually get real sales numbers (because they're too embarrassing for SBMG to officially report) but I'll be generous
and say he probably sold 1010.
