starshinexavier said:Gary's performance makes me shudder. I wanted to gauge my ears out, but then decided against it because Ryan hadn't gone on yet. He BUTCHERED that song. I seriously hope that he doesn't move on any further, and if he does, I will change the channel when he's on. What were the judges smoking as well?!?! IMO, their credibility as music bigwigs are going down the crapper at an alarming rate. I'd rank him LAST!
ITA with you! If anyone deserved to get the boot last week, it was Gary--and I was shocked to see him so high up in the voting while Audrey was so low and Toya got eliminated.
I'm also as to all the hype about Jenny (both from the judges and all those voters who've gotten her this far). Although I think a lot of the rude comments I've read on other boards are definitely uncalled for, I just don't think she's that great a singer and I thought she sounded more and more off-key as the weeks went on...until last week! That was the first time I thought she picked a song that really suited her (and that she was able to sing more or less on key). She's definitely better at slow, bluesy songs than at the more contemporary, upbeat stuff.
BTW, did anyone else really dislike how many finalists were eliminated during the first couple of "live performance" weeks. I wish they could have extended the show by at least a couple more weeks so only one contestant was eliminated each week (that's how it worked on AI, IIRC). A lot of good singers were eliminated during those first two weeks and I thought some of them(coughkarenleecough) definitely deserved a second chance.
I'm even more disappointed about the format after reading a quote from this article:

"A clips show dubbed The Best And Worst Of Canadian Idol will air on CTV August 28 at 8 p.m. and will repeat on September 4."
Personally, I would much rather see a couple extra new episodes than a recap of everything that already took place (especially since there was already a "recap" show a few weeks ago!)
I wonder which Elton John songs everyone will pick next week? I just hope nobody sings "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"--as much as I love that song, we've already heard it waayy too many times on "Idol" both sides of the border!
