If watching 32 episodes of Canadian Idol wasn't enough for you, you can catch winner Theo Tams, runner-up Mitch MacDonald and third-place-finisher Drew Wright across Canada this fall and early winter. The Canadian Idol tour will feature songs performed on the show, Tams' "Sing" single and one original composition from each member of...

Theo Tams Crowned Canadian Idol

in
By Michelle Singerman (CHARTattack) September 11, 2008 10:53 am
Well folks, this is it, the moment we've been waiting for all summer. This year's Canadian Idol is Theo Tams. The 23-year-old music student from Lethbridge, Alta., who watched the past five seasons of the show on television, took the competition by storm. He clearly was one of the strongest competitors right from the start — armpit stains and...

Idol Finalists Outsoft Each Other

in
By Michelle Singerman (CHARTattack) September 9, 2008 10:38 am
After 31 episodes, it's almost time to name this year's Canadian Idol. On the final performance night, Theo Tams and Mitch MacDonald battled it out through three different songs. Each contestant performed a song of their choice, their single (if they win) and a number chosen by the judges. Monday's show started with a hilariously dramatic recap...

Drew Wright Eliminated From Canadian Idol

The final Canadian Idol showdown was made official on Tuesday night when Drew Wright was kicked off the show. With the Collingwood, Ont. native gone, the face-off comes down to Mitch MacDonald and Theo Tams. I guess I shouldn't be surprised to find out who the last two are. After all, this is Canadian Idol. Would the show really be sticking to...

Three Of A Dull Idol Kind

in
By Michelle Singerman (CHARTattack) September 2, 2008 3:34 pm
The trio of remaining Canadian Idol contestants have proven one thing: they're all boring. Two of the final five contenders at least had some vitality spread amongst them, but nothing memorable or noteworthy came out of Monday night's performances. Special guest Bryan Adams didn't up the ante, either. What host Ben Mulroney labelled the "...

Stevenson's Idol Train Derailed

By Michelle Singerman (CHARTattack) August 27, 2008 4:27 pm
The weird vibe that engulfed Canadian Idol on Monday followed the show like a bad fog into Tuesday, when Earl Stevenson was voted off the program. The show started with the remaining contestants singing selected tracks from Anne Murray's catalogue of hits. Stevenson started the round-robin singing session with "Danny's Song." He...

Canadian Idol Gets Weird

in
By Michelle Singerman (CHARTattack) August 26, 2008 4:16 pm
With only four competitors left striving to be the next Canadian Idol, you'd expect things to heat up. But Monday night's episode had too many awkward moments — and not all were during performances. For starters, Anne Murray was the big name on stage. While she's credited with prying open the music industry doors for Canadian female artists, and...

Fans Don't Come Together For Mookie

in
By Michelle Singerman (CHARTattack) August 20, 2008 4:33 pm
Tuesday was shock and awe night on Canadian Idol, as Mookie Morris was the unlucky contestant who was sent packing. I was sad to see him go. There are now four contenders left, only one of whom I like. The show started with the remaining contestants butchering a well-respected music catalogue. While I may have said Monday night's Beatles covers...

Beatles Upstage Canadian Idol Wannabes

By Michelle Singerman (CHARTattack) August 19, 2008 4:30 pm
Beatles night on Canadian Idol wasn't nearly as painful as I had anticipated. A few of the five remaining guys even had what may have been their strongest performances of the season. But the best part of the night, and season, was the five-minute montage of classic Beatles footage shown prior to the wannabes' performances. The judges were...

"1234," Amberly Thiessen's Out The Door

Canada may rock, but Amberly Thiessen doesn't. The remaining female Canadian Idol contestant was finally given her deserving ticket home on Tuesday night's show. After weeks of sitting through her off-tune performances, Monday night's rendition of Feist's "1234" finally brought the salvation we've all been waiting for. The results...

Canada Rocks, But Not On Idol

in
By Michelle Singerman (CHARTattack) August 12, 2008 3:47 pm
"Canada Rocks" night on Canadian Idol was badly misnamed. Not only did the wannabe idols put on mostly boring performances, as was expected, but their song choices were an insult to Canadian rockers. No Neil Young or The Band. Feist was chosen over Joni Mitchell. Our classic rock landscape is much stronger than what the remaining six...

Last Night For Canadian Idol's Day

Victory is mine! Mark Day was finally booted off Canadian Idol on Tuesday night, leaving six contestants to fight for the crown. I never thought this show could be so satisfying. I've been waiting for Day's riddance since day one. Tom Jones has become synonymous with the Carlton Banks character from The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air for me. So when...

The lucky number seven wasn't so lucky on Monday night's episode of Canadian Idol. The surviving Idol contestants were a letdown once again while performing "hits from the U.K." with help from Sir Tom Jones. The Welsh superstar joined the Idol wannabes for quality one-on-one time over the past week, but it didn't help their acts. But I...

Canadian Idol: Pigott Sent Packing

By Trevor Morelli (CHARTattack) July 30, 2008 4:11 pm
Tuesday's Canadian Idol episode played out almost exactly as I had imagined. After a third week in the bottom three, rock 'n' roll poseur Sebastian Pigott was finally sent home. His squeaky version of Little Richard's "Lucille" the night before earned him the pink slip, thank God. If Mark Day is the next one to get the boot, we might be...
