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

Here we have the end of my short but almost sweet viewing of Canadian Idol. When I started watching the show, most people I know through musical means got really upset with me. "That show is ridiculous; talented people don't actually win. Canada doesn't know what talent is, they just know what's pretty." I argued in vain that Canada as a country wasn't that stupid. I changed my tune a lot as the show progressed and I actually witnessed the travesty that is Canadian Idol. A week ago I was arguing that we were one of the dumbest nations ever. Now Nancy's kicked off and I feel no need to keep people happy and sugar coat everything.

I'd like to start by saying that I didn't like her song choice, but I give her credit for doing a better job with her song than say, oh Kati Durst, who butchered the song she wanted to sing. Or Steffi, who I love with a small part of my heart but did an only almost ok job of her song. Not that they need to worry, they're in the Top 10.

I'd like to talk about some problems with the way the show is set up too. Apparently now they compete as one big group, instead of guys vs guys and girls vs girls. Watch slowly as the guys get voted off one by one. I don't care what the fags at Sheridan think about how pretty Chad is; he's done a horrible job of every single one of his post-Top 22 songs. Brandon is pretty, and that's the only reason I cheer for him. Craig will be screwed (metaphorically) when he comes out of childhood and loses his high pitched voice, and then screwed (physically) when he comes out of the closet after moving away from Newfoundland. There's a trend here, watch for it. Tyler sings flat. Period. I'd also like to say something really horrible about Sarah Loverock, because she's so rude – but I can't. Fucking bitch can sing, and she has a life waiting for her when she goes home. What can I make fun of there? Nothing.

I'd like to talk about what happened over the past three shows (the systematic removal of people with talent, minus Sarah) as the reason of all my anger with Adam after stupidly suggesting that there be a judge with no musical training what so ever. No, that's what Canada is for and they've proven to me that they don't have musical training. Just in case you're wondering, chopsticks and a C major scale do not count. I blame most of this on idiotic twelve year old girls. I also guarantee that they ruin my Panic! at the Disco concert on Saturday. That's ok. I'll probably be drunk and I'll probably crush their spirits by pointing out that they ARE in fact liking to get pregnant at 16, only it won't be Brandon or Tyler or Craig, but some sleazy guy from their high school who won't graduate and will work at McDonald's or a Rec Centre for the rest of his life.

I'd also like to say that I'm the tiniest bit happy that Nancy is not continuing on Idol. Personally I would have liked her to be there to watch the whole group of untalented people go home, but having her win would mean her getting a record contract - a record contract with Sony. I loathe Sony. While I would have supported her, and purchased her album, and told everyone else to, I would have secretly felt incredibly guilty for caving in on my Sony Boycott. Oh well. Nancy, go get signed to Universal now and introduce me to McFly. That way we can exchange one moral ambiguity for another. Now come home so we can drool over the latte boy at Starbizzle.

Oh ya, and a BIG FUCK YOU to CTV for changing the airing time. I missed the show. Assholes. It's a good thing friends were taping it.
