Canadian Idol: Theo Tams is your new Canadian Idol
The National Post – The Ampersand
by Sarah Millar
“Theo Tams of Lethbridge, AB was crowned the season six Canadian Idol. Tams beat out Mitch MacDonald of Port Hood, N.S., who was known as the guitar hero.
After Ben Mulroney announced that Tams had won, he barely got out a thank you before breaking down in tears.
“First of all, I just want to say thanks to Mitch, he is such a great guy and has become such a great friend, and I’ll be first in line to buy his record,” Tams said before beginning to break down.
“Thanks so much.”
The Albertan only appeared in the bottom three during week seven. He said it was his trip back home to Alberta during the final few weeks of competition that showed him just how much he wanted to win.”
“The Ampersand had interviews with both MacDonald and Tams. Read our interview with MacDonald on Thursday and our interview with Tams on Friday.”

The Scarf Thing:
“MJ: I gotta tell you because when Christy (the PR liaison) brought you in here, I was like ‘no, bring the real Theo because I don’t see that guy wearing any scarves!
TT: I think it’s because when I lived in India, I just wore scarves all the time there. I was kind of tapping into my inner hippie side and ever since I came back, I just haven’t lost it. It’s more just out of habit. I am not trying to make a fashion statement or anything. It’s more just out of habit. They have become like a security blanket for me on the show.
MJ: All the ones that we see on the show are they all yours?
TT: Yeah.
MJ: How many do you think you have?
TT: Probably… I don’t have like that many. Close to 20 or 25. (Laughs).”
“MJ: Were you laughing when they did that TSN recap of the performances and the turning point was you kicking the bench?
TT: Oh, that was so funny!
MJ: That was one of the funniest things that I have ever seen on the show.
TT: It was hilarious.”

Alberta crooner beats Nova Scotia folk singer for title

“The battle had been billed as an East-meets-West showdown, with the 23-year-old Tams facing off against 22-year-old MacDonald, a carpenter from Port Hood, N. S.
But the differences didn’t end there, with the classically trained Tams wowing judges with a strong voice on sensitive ballads, while the doe-eyed MacDonald made a habit of offering up off-key renditions of lesser-known songs. “
