(I know that in theory these boards are supposed to be about events, but since we have pretty much none up here, I've pretty much decided that when I want to post something that is only apt to be of interest to other Canucks (if even them), that I'll post it on this board.)
Ive found over the past few years that Canadian Idol makes the perfect show with which to get my ironing done. I dont generally catch all of every episode, but usually catch a decent part of most of them. I finish getting our son to bed, then come downstairs and get a few things ironed while watching however much of idol is left.
Anyway, the new season is underway. Im hardly an authority, but it seems to me that there is a pretty strong crop this yeareven one who plays a real rock n roll piano, which I think is a first (A couple or so seasons back one girl, Theresa I think, played piano, but usually more of the mellow or emotional kind). Also the judges havent descended too far into clichés just yet, and Sass seems pretty coherent so all four judges are having useful things to say, which is nice. Although it still feels odd that that they didnt stick to an even number of both genders this time.
This week was the first week of public voting, and they cut four people from the top 24. Already the only woman who was remotely chubby has gotten voted off. I cant complain too much about her elimination, she was not bad but I didnt feel like shed been outstanding either. There is however a moderately fat guy (Mark Day) still competing. He is a wise cracking lad from the maritimes, who made a joke about his weight this week; Im not sure if that was his idea or that of the producers, but he seemed pretty comfortable with it. I hope that he lasts for at least a while, for the sake of any FFA who are watching. Although I cant say he is my favorite performer so far. And totally aside from performance issues, I cant but cheer for Mookie, just for his name!
Any thoughts or opinions?
