The Mike Haddad Show: This is relevant to my interests.

Last night (July 5) was the second results show for this season of Canadian Idol, dropping us down to the Top 14 Competitors. This week I was healthy enough to see the guys perform too, instead of just the girls. So I was a little shocked to see who was eliminated this time around.

I was curious to see who was going to get cut. I missed Keith sing again because my Dad cut out the signal right at the end of the show, so as of right now all I've seen are clips of him sing. Incredibly unimpressive clips in which I want to change the channel or phone CTV and demand they show me something I can make a judgement on. Brandon butchered his song choice and it makes me incredibly sad to have to admit that. Craig sings well, but I'm so interested to see what happens once his voice changes because of puberty and he's fucked. Chad took a song that could have won him gay votes across the country and did a disappointing job with it. Tyler was off key his whole song, so I was sure he was going home this week. In fact I was almost giddy about it.

I was confident that Nancy would be safe and she was. The judges love her; Zach clearly (and truthfully) stated that she was the BOMB. Despite what everyone else thinks, I thought Ashley Coulter performed really well. I ranked her at the top with Sarah Loverock (who doesn't like me thanks to Adam's horrible jokes), Nancy, Eva and Alisha. So you can imagine how surprised I was when it was announced that Alisha, Alyssa, Greg and Chris were eliminated. Well except the Alyssa part. I give her credit for doing her thing, but it didn't work at all. Even when they announced the bottom four, I figured it would be Rob, Sheldon, Alyssa and Ashley Coles. Shows you how bad I am at predicting the voting habits of the Canadian public.

I'd like to say that I'm really glad Zach clarified that Nancy's an incredible singer. After the first week during one of my forays through Google I stumbled across the fact that Nancy was picked for votefortheworst.com because of her spazzing and the fact that she did a "really bad Jann Arden song." Now they've doubled back to not picking a female for last week because "Nancy is very VFTW but sings well, so it's a tough call." I guess that's what happens when people with no musical training whatsoever decide who gets a record contract. Although in reality I'm a little happy Alisha is gone: she was one of two people I thought Nancy had to worry about. One down, one to go.
