Wow, Canada. A big thumbs down on two of them.

Can’t believe how friggin’ good this results show is. Lindsay Barr totally won me over.

So she gets the boot. Whaty do I know?

Anyway, Sebastien Piggott during ‘Fly Like and Eagle.’ Very impressive. He’s going to be a round for a while.

It’s strange how things go. Canadian Idol is always a case of Expect the Unexpected.

This totally beats the AI choreographed group numbers any day.

WOW. I’m on video 3 and I’m loving the CI results show. This is awesome. And I love the “We’re celebrating music” mantra. Let’s keep it up!

Can they just perform in groups for the entire season? Wow. Awesome.

Loved Sebastian singing “fly fly fly fly fly”– Adorable.

I really enjoyed the groups songs. What a great idea! My fav was Tetiana, Oliver and Sebastian. WOW! Love how they worked a bit fof Seal’s Crazy at the end.

I absolutely LOVED the group numbers, with the “Fly Like An Eagle” number as my favorite!

ETA: agree with Bouffe above, was typing while you were posting…

Re: the eliminations- two were definitely right and the others deserved to stay as much as some of the others, but Canada votes differently. At least my favorites survived to sing again.

Thanks again, MJ, for following this season and posting. Awesome!

This is far superior to the AI pointy posing choreorgraphy. They want to make some changes for next season – take note. Instead, they give us stupid call in segments, a mosh pit, and, want to lower the age to 14. They’re clueless, I tell ya, just totally clueless.

Can they just perform in groups for the entire season? Wow. Awesome.

That, I would love!

Wow, this was new. I don’t recall any results show being like that, what with all the separated group numbers. Everyone did fantastic and it just shows how important song choice is. It’s funny how at this stage in the game, certain contestants still fail to see how the game is played.

Anyway, as I said about tuesday’s show, I think Sebastian is the dark horse for it all. He’s got so much presence and charisma.

I picked the two Lindsays to go home. Thank you, Canada, for getting Tetiana off my screen. I would have gotten rid of Jesse and kept Shaun, but oh well.

The fact that that judges praise every single freaking contestant doesn’t help the public decide who to vote for, I think.

mj, I’ve been covering Canadian Idol for the last 3 years, and I’m glad you are covering it too this year. I love, love, love that our american friends are watching with us!

WOW! Fabulous! Nigel, are you watching? This is far better than AI’s crappy group numbers. Like put people that actually can harmonize with one another in group and sound good together, what a freakin notion. LOL…Good job CI for show casing your idols, they were all fabulous. I know that Sebastian boy has potential but my money is still on Theo or Earl. Many of them sang much better tonight than the previous nights. Now for the results…have to go look.

My favorites are still in it…however I hated to see Tetiana go home. I never liked her solo singing, but I thinks she, Oliver and Sebastian make an awesome trio. Assuming neither of the brothers win it all (and I still haven’t given up on Oliver), I’d love to see those three record together.

Jake mentioned that he thought that there would be some future collaborations among the top 24. I can see it. Most of the groups were great.

Last year I followed CI was CI 3. I remember three of the top 10 (including my favorite, Amber Fleury) formed a group of their own. How did that turn out? And were there other similar collaborations after seasons 4 and 5?

So the Lindseys, Shaun and Tetiana, that was quick. I can’t believe 3 girls gone already. The girls are really outnumbered now and I guess CI is going to have a possible all male finale like AI. We shall see. That was a quick ending to a fabulous result show, Ben just call them down, snappy and no brutal commentaries. That was cool! I like that, take notes AI, take lots of notes tonight.

I’m glad the judges give praise to every contestant,and, not try to sway the viewers. Too much manipulation goes on with AI.

The fact that that judges praise every single freaking contestant doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t help the public decide who to vote for, I think.

Yeah, I think it might screw up the voting. (Not to mention the regional voting.) ^_^ At the same time, I appreciate that there is no chosen one. It could be anyone’s game. I think the second season was the only exception. Everyone and their mother, and unborn fetus knew Kalan was going to win the minute they saw his audition. Check it out on youtube if you’re curious. I liked the crazy punk Jacob better, but Kalan’s audition has seriously got to be one of the best auditions ever.

Jacob was a character, but, not really an idol. HE is doing very well with his career , however.

This is far superior to the AI pointy posing choreorgraphy. They want to make some changes for next season – take note. Instead, they give us stupid call in segments, a mosh pit, and, want to lower the age to 14.

Word. I have never enjoyed a results show more. I was sad when it was over. Great collaborations. It makes so much more sense than wasting all of that time learning choregraphy.

I was not expecting them to send four people home. I’m still in shock that Shaun was one of them. The girls are dropping like flies.

I actually liked Shaun. For some reason, Canadians like their Idols to be male, and, in the states, they sort of lean more toward female winners.

Ai should do nice little group numbers like the ones tonight. They an be little previews for the summer tour.

Have You Ever Seen the Rain- Lindsay’s voice kind of spoils it, but she’s better here than she was yesterday. Martin’s beautiful voice is BACK. Nice emotion from Paul.

Midnight Hour- They’re both in their element. Why didn’t Lindsay pick a song like this?

Old Time Rock and Roll- Jessica has a nice voice. Mookie’s in his element. It’s official, I love Earl- his voice reminds me of Elliott’s in some odd way. Mark is surprisingly good for the most part.

Yellow- For the third time this season…Jesse sounds so much better here than he did on his performance. Nice head voice, Katelyn. Amberly harmonizes beautifully. The thinness of Mitch’s voice stays hidden pretty well.

Heard It Through the Grapevine- Nice, Drew. Sing songs like this mmkay? I’m over Omar. Gary’s actually “singing” and he’s not bad.

Fly Like an Eagle- Tetiana- meh. I really like Sebastian’s voice. Oliver is so much better with a guitar in front of him. They looks so cocky after they’re done. And sorry to channel by VFTW self, but Tetiana is such a Pigott whore.

Imagine- Will Theo be singing You’re the Voice next? Or maybe Angels?

Oh yeah… that’s another thing about Canada’s voting. Carly would have a very valid reason to complain about little fangirl votes not letting girls win. I like these guys, but almost all male top 10 is a scary thought. I think Amberly is a lock for top 10, but other than her, I feel like any girl could be toast.

Yes, regional voting is really important. This might screw with the results later on, as there are a lot of contestants from Toronto. Newfoundland and the east coast in general usually really support their own, too.

100 bucks says Tatiana tries out for AI8. lol

primeminister- I called both Lindsay’s and Tetiana ( I predicted they would go with four for elimination, and I was wrong about Jesse).

I also completely agree with you about Earl. I love Earl. I also was reminded of Elliott ( who I love as well. I’m a very loving person).

Very nice show. The four that were eliminated were all at or near the bottom for me after their first performance so won’t miss them.

I don’t think there’s excessive gender bias on Canadian Idol vs. American Idol. Two females have won out of five previous seasons and every year has seen a female in the top three (except year one). The females this year are, as a whole, a lesser group of performers this year.

Wow, they don’t mess around with the eliminations. No head games, just call them out, and, home they go. No sing out either. This is so superior to the crap they put the kids through on AI.

I was always mystified that Idol shows would make the viewing audience watch again the competitor they didn’t care to vote for, repeating the performance they hated the first time.

This new results show format is one of the best innovations they’ve come up with, imo. Perhaps the producers thought back to season 2 when CI introduced instruments for the first time on any Idol show anywhere in the world during the Gordon Lightfoot week results show with the Top 6 giving this amazing group performance of “Canadian Railroad Trilogy”.

CI2 – Canadian Railroad Trilogy

Thanks RemusL that was amazing.

Good job, CI producers. Love all the changes this season. Letting the kids split into groups to work out their own numbers and harmonies was genius. Some of those numbers were amazing and put the cheesy AI group numbers to shame. Yes, music was highlighted tonite. And next to no drama. Four are out, no major suspense, just call em up and send them on their ways. I was neither shocked nor disappointed in the choices made. A little surprised, mostly about Tetiana and Shaun. But I didn’t think they’d last too long anyways.

Now this is how a results show should be. (AI – are you listening?) A very enjoyable half hour, indeed.

wowwwwwwww ty remusl

i didnt watch cdn idol till last year but i’ve always been a kalan porter fan since i saw him do the devil went down to georgia OMG hes just so mad talented

and jacob jacob jacob hehe hedley is not my usual kind of music but somethin about them all i just love

and i agree with all this is how a results show should be… i would have loved to see the ai, kids do somethin on these lines… mj & cookie… castro & brooke can you imagine the awesomeness lol

I hadn’t been able to watch the second performance night videos yet so I don’t know how Shaun did, but awww that he’s already gone. There was something about him that was a bit off-putting to me, but I was really liking his song choices. Too bad there won’t be more. :s

Gee that was nice — no bandzilla, no doofy dancing, or waste of time segments, just music.
This may be the first season I try to keep up with CI since CI2.

Think AI might learn something?
