Canadian Idol 6! Episode 21 – Top 7 Performance – VIDEO

Mark Day is doing “Bleeding Love”. I don’t understand this.

BTW…Mark was up first.

Just saw the first two performances…Hard to believe, but Mark isn’t going to be the worst of the night.

First up was Mark’s “Bleeding Love.” And I liked it. Not loved it, but liked it. By far, his best performance ever. He sang well (great song choice, I thought), and he was animated. Not over the top animated, but he moved around. Good job. I’m not saying he’s not going home, but if he’s going home, he’ll go home on a high note.

On the other hand, I didn’t like Mitch’s take of a John Lennon classic, “Jealous Guy.” He turned a tender, apology into a rocker, stripped of its essence. Ugh.

Mark Day – Takes Leona Lewis’ plaintive lament Bleeding Love and turns it into boy band pabulum. Nails the vocals and looks pretty comfortable on stage. But his choice of performing yet another song so closely identified with a female singer is a strategy that is getting tired. The pandering for applause was the last straw though.

Mitch MacDonald – He’s certainly smart about choosing songs that suit his voice. Too bad I’m just not into his thin voice. How far will that cute smile take him? The worst of the night.

Drew Wright – Radiohead’s Creep. Clearly his best performance. Even shaved his beard a bit. I finally get his appeal.

Theo Tams – Dons a leather jacket and struts across the stage. Playing at being a tough guy isn’t ideal but he wasn’t an embarrassment. Good singing as always.

Mookie Morris – Everyone will think his rendition of Lola is “cool” but I’ve never used that word without sarcasm. I found it off key in the lower register. Second half was okay. Not my taste. Garage band sound. Wow the judges liked him.

Amberly Thiessen – Can’t really do the sex kitten act that Haley S. rode to success but learning to work it. Put Your Records On was a good choice for her voice and vibe. Good job.

Earl Stephenson – Clapton’s Change the World. I would like his records but not sure if I could take him live in concert. Liked the vocals though

Theo was amazing, I like watching him away from the piano. Mookie was mesmerizing to watch, I loved his take on Lola. Drew did a decent vocal job on Creep. Amberly’s song choice was very good for her voice but she is still boring to watch as a live performer. Earl was awesome as usual.

The rest were just meh.

I love everything about Earl. That was stupidly good.

Sir Tom Jones has a scary-ass tan.

————————–The Performances————————-

Mark Day is up first. I guess the producers are stacking the deck against him. Bleeding Love? VFTW Victory! I’m starting to think that Zach is better at coming up with one-liners than Simon is. He’s hilarious!

For the last 5 weeks, I’ve been so tempted to skip Mitch’s performances. His voice is so thin and nasally. This is so painful. NEXT!

Drew isn’t half-bad this week. He gets the Most Improved Award so far. It’s my favorite performance from him, but then again, I thought he should have been eliminated a long time ago.

Theo “works” the stage. It’s not a disaster like it was for Brook and Jason on AI. Theo’s performance is kind of karaoke; probably my least favorite of his so far. They’re talking about him winning….and I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens.

Probably my new favorite performance of Mookie’s. He killed it tonight! BEST PERFORMANCE this week by a mile. I hope Canada VOTES.

Amberly was good. Perfect song for her.

Earl, my usual favorite, was a huge letdown. Probably his worst performance to date, and he didn’t seem able to take control of the song like he usually does terrifically well. What has with that weird ending? I hope his popularity isn’t getting to his head.

————————–Rankings————————-
The Good
1. Mookie
2. Amberly

The OK
3. Drew
4. Theo
5. Earl

The Downright Ugly
6. Mark
7. Mitch

My picks for the B3: Mark, Mitch, Mookie with Mark/Mitch going home.

Sir Tom Jones has a scary-ass tan

I said that to my friend on line when I saw him. Matches the scary-ass facelift. And I hope he sings ” Delila” tomorrow night. Just saying.

I loved Mookie. The Kinks are my favorite band of all time. And they let a song about a transvestite be sung on a ” family” show during family hour in Canada. I loved it. I love CI, and I still love the Kinks! :wub_tb:

Was that to much a fangurly love fest?

Mark Day -Bleeding Love
Oh boy. It’s nice to hear Mark sing a modern song, and I think that if he really felt the lyrics, he could have really hit a homerun with this. As it is now tho, it was merely ok. No real emotions behind his vocals, cheesy stage presence with the pointing at the audience, and it seems like he tried too hard when he pushed his vocals here and there. Very meh.

Mitch Macdonald – Jealous Guy
Good song choice for Mitch. The beginning is rough and seems too low. But when he reaches for the higher notes, it sounds really good. Not bad, but not his best.

Doody… Oh Ben…

Drew Wright – Creep
Gotta be honest – when I heard Drew was doing Creep, I said to myself – NO FUCKING WAY is he going to pull this off. While his cover is not my favorite of all the ones out there (hello David Cook, Lukas Rossi, Magni!), I thought he did a really, really good job. I dind’t care for how the song was cut, but that’s not really in his control, so I won’t hold it against him. I thought his vocals were the best I’ve heard from him so far, and holly molly that RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN was impressive. The makeover makes it all the better for me – while before I could not watch him perform, this time I could. don’t care for the nose ring tho… All in all, really good from Drew.

Theo Tams – You Had Me
I was nervous for Theo when he asked for advice on stage presence. But boy, those worries faded away quickly! I really didn’t care for the big shoulder jacket, but the little bit of facial hair – WOW! And I didn’t think Theo had the growl in him – I was wrong, he does! I really enjoyed his performance – vocally it was strong (although the beginning seemed a bit rushed) and the performance was really good. Awesome!

Mookie Morris – Lola
That was good. Great choice for him. Too low in the beginning, a bit shaky. But when he kicks into gear in the second verse, it sounds great. Performance wise, I’d love to see a bit more from him. From the judges comments, seems like Mookie might not get the votes the judges/producers want him to get…

Amberly Thiessen – Put Your Records On
I’m not too fond of this song, so this might cloud my judgement somewhat. I really didn’t like this performance from Amberly. She was on pitch, but she seemed so uncomfortable without her guitar, concentrating so hard on how she’d perform the song that I felt her vocals suffered – no power, no feelings, no passion. Not good. Seems like the judges disagree…

Earl Stevenson – Change The World
Hey Tom, how’s it going? *L* I love Earl and his laid back attitude. Listening to him rehearse, I thought, wow, this will be GOOD… But it was not. And it makes me sad. I thought the beginning was weird, too low in the vocals and fake in the performance. Then the chorus – it sounded much better and I liked it. But this son, to me, doesn’t go at all with Earl’s style. The ending was totally WTF for me.

My Top 3:
Theo
Drew
Mookie

My Bottom 3:
Earl
Amberly
Mark

I liked Earl, as usual. He’s just so into the music. I also think Mookie is very “current” — to gag on a word they overuse on AI. I didn’t like that Theo had a lot of his song sung by the backup singers. I can’t help but identify “Creep” with Marty Casey of Rockstar INXS. No other reality show contestant can touch Marty on these type of songs.
I like we had some songs from this century, and the 90′s. I liked the nod to Kalan and Jacob. I though they were great, and I haven’t watched CI since the second season.

1. Earl
2. Mookie
3. Drew
4. Amberley
5. Theo
6. Mitch
7. Mark

Agree Mark was the best he’s been, but I still think the song was all wrong for him.

I liked the nod to Kalan and Jacob.

I don’t remember seeing that. When was it?

I’m really happy with what I saw tonight. Mark didn’t make me gag, Drew showed intensity and it worked, Theo put on a great performance (I still don’t like him though), Mookie just keeps making me smile, Amberley sounded pretty, and Earl had some nice moments. Mitch is hard to listen to.

My favourite performances tonight were Drew and Mookie.

I agree with the judge (Jake?) who named the best four contestants: Theo, Amberley, Mookie, and Earl. I hope Mark goes home soon, but if Mitch goes first it wouldn’t surprise me.

Loved Earl. Loved Mookie. Loved Drew. I felt like, well, HELLO, Drew Wright. Then Mookie was adorable and totally himself, and so was Earl. I feel like Earl is really coming into his own and becoming more comfortable with who he is and the fact that people like him. (And he continues to remind me of Hugh Laurie, which is a very good thing in my book.)

Amberly was lovely, as always. I like that song, and her version doesn’t touch Corinne Bailey Rae for youth and freshness, but she was fine.

I don’t know the song Theo did and I didn’t really care for the performance. Vocally, it was fine. I’m just not sure what it was supposed to be.

Hated Mark and Mitch. Not good. At. All.

So, for me, I think it goes:

1. Earl
2. Drew
3. Mookie
4. Amberly
5. Theo
6. Mark
7. Mitch

Yikes. I can’t imagine Theo will be B3. But I don’t want anybody except Mitch and Mark touching the bottom, either. Not Mookie. Noooooooo…

I actually tried to vote from my American cell phone, just to see what would happen. You get a twinkly sound and a disconnect. I assume that doesn’t count! lol

I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t help but identify à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Creepà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  with Marty Casey of Rockstar INXS. No other reality show contestant can touch Marty on these type of songs.

Agree. Loved Marty’s version so much more. The intensity just wasn’t there for Drew.. I still don’t get him.

I loved Mookie (great song choice) and thought Earl was okay.

Can Mark Day just go now? Note that he didn’t sing any of the difficult parts of the song.

I’d settle for Mitch leaving, too. Runs and riffs during “Jealous Guy?” Sigh.

donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t remember seeing that. When was it?

At the end. Jake mentioned (paraphrase) that 4 contestants this year are as good musically as Kalan and Jacob.

dbl post!

Mookie was all kinds of awesome!!! Is it ok that I’m starting to have a TV crush on an 18 year old kid? Anyway, I really really hope he gets enough votes tonight because the show just wouldn’t be as as entertaining (not to mention nowhere near as hip) if he were gone!

Tonight was not my favorite Earl performance, but he was still good. There is just something about him that makes me grin furiously anytime he is on stage!

I like rocker Drew. I hope he sticks to doing songs like “Creep”

Amberly was lovely as usual, and, though vocally not as perfect as he usually is, I think Theo did really well as well.

Mark and Mitch need to go. I kinda like Mitch better than Mark if only because he has better taste in music (IMO) but I will be sad if either of them outlast Mookie. Which, unfortunately, I know is a real possiblity.

Sir Tom Jones was a cool mentor.

First off WHAT THE HELL happened to Tom Jones??? Did he fall asleep for five days in a tanning bed?

Mark, why are you on my vids still?

Mitch: his voice creeps me out, cross between a chipmonk on helium & he stole the voice from my old preacher’s wife when she warbled her solo’s during my childhood. Put them together and BAM you have Mitch!

Drew: Marty from Rockstar was ok, but David Cook’s version of Creep makes other’s seem extremely pale in comparison. Drew was ok. Cook’s Creep, OMG.
Drew does not have the power vocals to pull this off like Cook does.

Theo: I still think he is TCO. Amberly might give him a run for his money.

Mookie: I really try to like Mookie, really. He does nothing for me. He’s like a kid who has had too much to drink at a softmore party and jokingly performs.

Amberly: Pretty voice. I can definitely pick her voice out of others. She puts her own stamp on things much like Mookie.

Earl: I like Earl. It was ok, ending was horrible. I still have to laugh over Earl’s *Gorilla Robot* dance. It’s so stilted, the boy has absolutely no rythymn, lol. What was up with the wolf howl? It. Was. Just. Weird.

My rankings:
Theo/Amberly (toss up there)
Drew

Middle:
Mookie

Bottom dweller’s:
Mitch, Mark and I hate to say it, but I think Earl will join them. Since VFTW is behind Mark, I think it’s Mitch’s time to go.

haha, am i the only one that laughed when Tom Jones said to Mookie that he had an unusual name and Mookie’s like “It’s not unusual”??? Haha. And then Tom mumbles something about how that’s the title of one his songs.

anyway, that really made me laugh…

haha, am i the only one that laughed when Tom Jones said to Mookie that he had an unusual name and Mookieà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s like à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s not unusualà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ??? Haha. And then Tom mumbles something about how thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the title of one his songs.

anyway, that really made me laughà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

I chuckled there too. And I liked how Mookie was so enthusiastic in his appreciation for Tom Jones – kinda like how Cook was with ALWebber.

At the end. Jake mentioned (paraphrase) that 4 contestants this year are as good musically as Kalan and Jacob.

I rewatched Part 6. Are you talking about Jake’s comment on Earl’s performance? Cause he only lists the 4 best contestants from this year who “have rhythm.” No mention of Kalan and Jacob. Am I watching the wrong part?

What? I was thinking that they were singing Tom Jones songs, lol, that would of been funny. CI is definitely smart with themes. They are pretty much letting the contestants pick what they want, it isn’t as limited as it is on AI. I must say that I didn’t love anyone tonight. It was all meh to me, last week was WAY better.

Mark did ok, not bad, not great, he did better than usual.

Mitch may be going home, that wasn’t good at all, he was the worst tonight.

Theo, was just ok tonight, I didn’t like that song choice for him, it didn’t work for me but he has great vocals. I like Theo as the piano man, he just seems more passionate and emotionally connected to the songs when he plays the piano.

Drew did better but still not great, he did good damn cute tonight. His eyes are amazing.

Mookie, did pretty good but I know tons of guys that are ten times better than him. He just seem ok, his vocals are weird at times.

Amberly, great song choice but she is kind of boring, she can still sing though.

Big EARL, why must he insist on being so weird with his performances? He has a great voice and great tone, just use your voice Earl. I think he could of sang that song with more emotion and sitting down, LOL.

Some of these guys ok pretty much all of them except for Mookie has any rhythm and they just can’t dance. It’s better that they use there instruments, that is what they are great with. Mitch stuck by his guitar every single week because that is what he is comfortable with, as for vocals he needs help. Overall it was a disappointing night.

I don’t have a favorite tonight, they all made mistakes and I think that either Mitch, Mark, Drew or Mookie is going home…:) I don’t know!

I’ve just listened to Mark Day’s performance and now my ears are bleeding! Ugh! Maybe being first will finally get him kicked off the show. Off to watch the rest.

Really enjoyed tonight’s show. And I’m sorry, I love Tom Jones. Burnt to a crisp or not. Nobody moves liked he does. Looking forward to Mavid doing their Sir Tom take at some point on the AI tour.

Hated Mark and Mitch. Au revoir. Can they just go now, please? Nice guys, I’m sure, but so out of their league at this point.

Thought Drew did great tonight. Loved his take on “Creep,” but you have to hear David Cook sing it. (He does the uncensored version, so don’t play it around the kiddies.)

Theo seemed out of his element to me tonight, but I’m glad he went for it.

Loved Mookie, thought Amberly was good (not great) and still am not sure what I think of Earl. But I sure would miss him if he goes!

For me:

1. Mookie & Drew
3. Theo
4. Amberly & Earl
6. Mitch
7. Mark

Thank you, Canada, for saving me from that travesty, Nashville Star.

Theo was great. Though i hate the runs, i do think he puts alot of heart into his performances. Mookie is just joy to watch .. and i would be SAD if he’s voted off tomorrow. Sadly Earl was just okay tonight. As Lisa so eloquently said “Mark, why are you on my vids still?” .. even Jesse McCartney’s version is better.

BootStar the link doesn’t work =(

There wasn’t any perfect performance but I enjoyed some way more than others.

1. Theo – Yeah, he knows how to communicate feelings thru song, more than any other person in the competition. You could tell this type of performance was stretching for him, but that’s a good thing. I appreciate folks who are always stretching into unexplored parts of themselves rather than just settling for what they already know they do well. So, I’m a big fan of Theos. And I’m sure, as an emotional diver, he does have other aspects of himself that he’s open to exposing on the show. Can’t wait.

2. Mookie – Started off a little shaky but he found his sweet spot and milked it.

3. Earl – By a hair. Really, this time the adhesive that connects Earl, the weird snowboarder didn’t hold tightly to Earl, the musician. A little too much fraying around the edges in this performance. I think it needed a bit more work and artistry to reign in the man’s wild side enough to show his alchemical gold. But we got some kind of copper.

4. Amberly – I think this kind of song works for her. But my view is that she has folks mesmerized by her beauty, and she’s sneaking by with a mediocre voice. I think she needs more training to develop her voice. I found it often evaporated at times or couldn’t hold the note, and then she smiled, and most of us forgot all about it.

5. Drew – I think the guy thinks he’s better than he really is. He’s a passable rock musician. Nothing to write home about. He has moments of greatness surrounded by many moments of ‘shrug’. Again, the man is going to win alot of votes on cuteness alone. He looked much hotter than usual.

6. Mark – Decent performance. Of course, the guy belongs as MC of a variety show and to me that fact is so explosive, it leaks out everywhere, in performance, in interviews… Get the man a show soon, please. It will be a riot.

7. Mitch – Could you please leave now? I agree with the judges that he took the emotions out of the song and we’re left with the skeleton, sung by the nail-on-the-chalkboard guy. Well, maybe not that bad, but close. I love that he chose to perform the song, but I wish he had the skills to interpret it.

All in all, once again, I want to give props to CI for opening up the show’s format. Thankfully, no painful night of Tom Jones covers. Instead they widened the field to UK top hits, of any time period.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record here, AI ARE YOU LISTENING??? I know many of us would have loved to have heard David Cook do Creep on AI. Even though CI is also a family show, they seem to be much freer to delve into more risky material. And the show is better off for it. I also think the distance between who these contestants are musically on and off the show is much less severe. It’s still a covers show, but much more contemporary and relevant to the actual music and musicians of the day.

That was entertaining and a little weird. I love Earl but tonight I was wishing he was behind his guitar. He seemed off his game.

Drew surprised me tonight. I didn’t think he could pull it off. He’s no David Cook, though.

Theo was okay. Not my favorite performance. It reminded me of Drew’s performance last week – another WTH moment for me.

My top three:
Mookie
Drew
Theo

My bottom three:
Earl
Mitch
Mark (Hopefully this is the last time I ever have to see or listen to him.)

The link for David Cook‘s Creep (when he was part of Axium) is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P3Ty0p3x84

I love David Cook singing many things but I enjoyed Marty Casey’s version more.

As for tonight’s show, I would rank them thusly:

1. Theo
2. Amberly
3. Earl
4. Mookie
5. Drew
6. Mark & Mitch

I don’t feel anyone sang really badly. I think Mark was technically ok but he lacks good interpretative ability (plus the good sense to pick songs better suited for his style, whatever that is). I think he should follow in the footsteps of Steffi D from CI4 and pursue musical theatre. I could see him portraying Nicely Nicely Johnson in a revival of Guys & Dolls or when he’s a bit older, perhaps the Nathan Lane role in The Producers.

I like Mitch a lot for the charm, personality and pure love of music he’s displayed on CI. His vocals are never going to be perfect and his tone of voice will turn some people off as being ‘whiny’ but I still really enjoy his performances. I can’t say I’m a big fan of alt rock but I’d be interested in any future music he releases. Compared to the Top 4 though, position 5-7 is probably as far as he’s going to get.

Drew gave a tremendous performance of an iconic audience-pleasing song; however, I can’t rank him higher than 5th because, frankly, the difficulty level of the song isn’t very high. There’s a reason “Creep” is only a Tier 2 song to sing on Rock Band where Tier 9 is considered most difficult. As I wrote above, I prefer Marty Casey’s version from Rock Star INXS over David Cook’s version when he was part of Axium. I’d like to have heard a longer version from Drew in order to compare him more fairly to Casey and Cook. Even Lukas Rossi from RS Supernova sang a nice version.

Theo is at the top of my list because he truly does different genres and styles very well. Contrast tonight’s performance with his takes on “Apologize”, “Collide”, “Weak In The Knees”, “No Woman, No Cry”, even “Bubbly”. Amberly, Earl and Mookie seem to have a more narrow focus in terms of what they sing and how they sing. Which is not a knock on them because they’re great at what they do.

Earl seemed a bit wonky tonight, but man do I love his voice and his vibe. Nice to hear something more definitive from Drew. Theo is the same as always for me, very good, but not my fave. This will probably be Mitch or Mark’s swansong, so long as people pick up the phone and vote for some Mookie for once!!

I would like to thank so much the admin of this site for uploading all the show. I’m Italian and the only way for me to watch every week CI is downloading from a torrent, but unfortunately the usual uploader looks like he gave up since it’s already two week that it became quite difficult to find the episodes!
Anyway i started watching CI just for filing the hole left by the end of AI, but i must admit that at this point the competitors are all really good and the game is maybe more balanced, i don’t realy know for sure who’s gonna win!

Primeminister I don’t know. But I did hear Jacob Hoggard and Kalan Porter mentioned.

I love that we are all mentioning who’s cover of Creep we liked best! I had *shame on me* forgotten about Marty’s version. Admittedly, he never did it for me.

Lukas Rossi version was incredible. There’s one guy who really emoted the meaning of the song. Magni, from Rockstar Supernova, put down amazing vocals on that one also. I would LOVE to see David Cook do it – his vocals on the one he recorded with Axium are fantastic, and I am sure he performs the hell out of that song.

I agree with everyone who said Earl would have had a better night if he had sat down and played the guitar on this one. I really was hoping for that myself.

Radiohead’s original Creep will always and forever be greater than any version I’ve heard and NEVER heard. In other words, Drew, nice try, kid. :p

Am I the only one who thinks Cook sounds too much like that Creed guy while singing “Creep”? It’s the lower register of his voice. Shudder. Higher part, better.

Sorry about that bum link. I shouldn’t try to do that in the middle of the night. Appreciate RemusL getting the right one up there. David’s vocal on that song has to be at least a few years old, and he’s “progressed” so much since that time. I can’t even imagine how good it would be if he were to do it today.

I should have mentioned that, of all the contestants, Theo is my favorite. I like so many of them, and Theo doesn’t necessarily gravitate to my type of music, but he is in a league of his own, IMO. He has as good a voice as David Archuleta (better, I would argue, but that’s a taste matter, I think) and the cojones of David Cook, in that he’s willing to step out of the comfort zone and really go for the win. I also love the emotion that he brings to his songs and his look, in general. He really reminds me of a young Elton John in terms of talent but he’s way cuter. “Theo,” I assume, is short for Theodore, and he really looks like an edgy Teddy Bear to me.

Am I the only one who thinks Cook sounds too much like that Creed guy while singing à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Creepà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ? Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the lower register of his voice. Shudder. Higher part, better.

Yeah, he does a bit. I remember reading an interview with one of his former bandmate, and the guy (can’t remember who at the moment) was saying that Cook had a phase of using his Stapp/Vedder like tone of voice when singing… *L* Thankfully he got out of that.

I was pleasantly surprised by Drew’s “Creep.” I disagree with whomever said he doesn’t have the power for that song…I thought he proved that he did. I love David Cook’s version also, and would have like to have seen something more like that on AI, but I could just imagine Simon telling him that it was a mistake to sing a song about being a creep and a weirdo. Simon isn’t very forward-thinking, and CI is.

Alright, I’m going to put it out there…I don’t get Earl and I never have. I don’t think he’s a good singer and he skulks awkwardly around the stage and performs to the floor. I think he could vomit on stage and the judges would praise him for it. Someone above called Theo the chosen one…but I think it’s Earl.

Mark Day – à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Bleeding Loveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  by Leona Lewis – it was ok..his vocals were alright..his overall performance was not very good

Mitch MacDonald – à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Jealous Guyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  By John Lennon- very bland, boring and yeah still has the annoying voice…and now im starting to get annoyed with his facial expressions

Drew Wright – à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Creepà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  by Radiohead- I pretty much bash this guy every week for being a tryhard…but this week he sang a Radiohead song and did it well..and so he gained points…i thought it was great. New look+break out song= Winner?

Theo Tams – à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“You Had Meà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  by Joss Stone- It was pretty good…I thought he would be awkward on stage..he wasn’t..I dont think he will win though

Mookie Morris – à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Lolaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  by the Kinks- This guy has all the tools..too bad his city is not backing him or anyone..Toronto is too obsessed with hockey..maybe they should actually cheer for a winner?

Amberly Thiessen – à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Put Your Records Onà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  by Corinne Bailey Rae- that was pretty…she has a beautiful tone…happy to see she is moving up again …the downward trend she was on must have sucked

Earl Stevenson – à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Change The Worldà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  by Eric Clapton-When I read he was doing this song I thought he would do great. It was good…he sounded good…..could have used a little more killer in the end….I missed his forrest gump way of speaking this week ” yeah thanks Farley that means alot”

Hopefully Mookie does not get eliminated both Mitch and Mark have their entire provinces voting for them who combined don’t have the population of Toronto…but do have nothing better to do but vote.

As for David Cook’s version of creep…his version was ok…his deeper voice he used was strange..almost like he was smiling while doing it..like he was joking..and then end run was good..but his voice didnt sound in tune with the music…the song is more suited for Drew’s voice who also sang it with more understanding which he emoted well..I thought Drew performed the song better

Hopefully Mark gets eliminated, but Mookie is my prediction to go home.

Allison – thanks for your responses. Although this is my first season following Canadian Idol, I stumbled across clips of Kalan online and thought he was great! So, I’m pleased that Jake mentioned him.

The show overall was quite good, my favorites are definitely Theo Tams and Amberly who i think are the most talented singers in the competition. Earl is a great soul man, the problem is that sometimes he does too much and tends to look like a clown; i’m a huge fan of Eric Clapton and i must admit that during the verses Earl was quite good, but in the chorus he wasn’t strong enough, but i’m quite sure he won’t be even hit the bottom 3.
Probably this time it’ll be Mark or Mitch turn to go home!

I rewatched Part 6. Are you talking about Jakeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s comment on Earlà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s performance? Cause he only lists the 4 best contestants from this year who à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“have rhythm.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  No mention of Kalan and Jacob. Am I watching the wrong part?

primemister

Zach made mention of Jacob and Kalan during his comments on Earl’s performance.

I love how they put Mark and Mitch at the beginning of the show – the two people who I think should go home.
It was almost as if they were the ‘opening acts’ for the real show!
