Amberly Thiessen is eliminated tonight. Drew Wright and Earl Stevenson were in the Bottom 3.
Well. The “kindler and gentler” Canadian Idol got a little nasty tonight, pulling a mean little switcheroo. As Ben asked contestants to take center stage, those left on the couch breathed obvious sighs of relief…only to find out they were actually in the B3. Ugh. Me no likey. I also didn’t like tonight’s result. I think Amberly is a fine singer. I loved her delicate phrasing and unique vibe. She tried to work the stage last night, and unfortunately she’s not very good at that. She’s best sitting down with a mic or playing guitar. I’m not too keen on an all-guy Top 5. Drew or Mitch MacDonald should have gone before Amberly, for sure. Although I did enjoy Mitch’s performance tonight. Like Amberly, he’s best performing folkie. Drew’s got a fanbase, obviously, but I agree with the judges. He’s a lightweight. Mookie Morris and Theo Tams put on great performances this week, they deserved to stay out of the Bottom 3 for sure. Earl was right behind them.
I don’t have much to say about Simple Plan. Derivative mall rock? Eh.
Icrecman’s videos for the performance show weren’t posted last night, so I grabbed a torrent file and cut some myself. I posted them in last night’s performance post, if you haven’t been back to the thread yet today. In the meantime, it looks like Igrecman is updating his video page HERE.
Tonight’s Results show begins at 8 pm ET. Vote For the Worst has results up right away. That’s the best place I know of to check for quick results at 8:30.
I probably still kind of suck at the Canadian Idol prediction game, but I have a feeling Earl Stevenson may be going home tonight. I think it should be Drew Wright, but I think a combination of regional support and this new haircut are gonna keep him in this race…
