Canadian Idol: One-on-One with Adam Castelli
July 17, 2008

I had high hopes for you Adam, I also thought you had better taste. Amberly is your pick for Canadian Idol?! Tell me, does she sound better live or something?…because it certainly isn’t translating through to my TV.

Next Week the Top 9 competitors perform on Rock ‘n Roll Heaven week! Season five Idol runner-up Jaydee Bixby will perform on the July 22 results show.

So long Adam, we’ll miss you.

July 15, 2008

Adam Castelli was voted off tonight. I knew he wouldn’t make it to the top five, even though he’s probably my personal favourite. It’s so unfair, he finally puts in the performance all of his fans knew he could, with the entrance to end all Canadian Idol entrances, and he gets voted off. If he was going to be voted off in favour of Mark Day, and Amberly and Mitch (who even giving his best performance by far was still BO-RING) it should have been last week for his uninspiring performance of “If I Was a Carpenter.”

This brings me to my personal pet-peeve of the moment, “worsters.” For those of you unfamiliar with the term, these are the people who “vote for the worst,” this season the designated worst being Mark Day, as a kind of joke on the producers and viewers of Canadian Idol. This is what passes for humour with these people, watch an hour and a half of a show you profess to hate in order to obtain the number to vote for a bad singer so that this person will continue to progress and the show will be made to look stupid. Of course, the producers are having the last laugh as they’re paid by advertisers based on the number of people watching the show (or more importantly the commercials) whether it is to laugh at the show or to actually enjoy it doesn‘t affect their revenue. That’s right “worsters,” your doing exactly what CTV and Canadian Idol want you to do, watch and vote, they don’t care why or what-for. But more importantly, why do this? Why ruin others people’s harmless fun? I personally hate hockey (and most professional sports) but I don’t have a website that advocates people buy tickets only for the worst teams so that the league is made to “look stupid” or that people throw rock-salt on the ice in order to disrupt the proper progression of the game. Why not you ask? Because other people’s innocent fun is their business and not mine. I don’t enjoy hockey so I don’t watch it, I don’t destroy someone else’s wholesome fun.

So, “worsters,” (many of whom I am sure are probably laughing as you read this ‘cause you’ve irritated some fans of an admittedly un-cool but nonetheless fun show), you need to get lives and ignore an otherwise inoffensive summer distraction if you do not enjoy it. If you are pressed for summer fun you’re going to have to get back to the bear-baiting, all midget mud-wrestling or finger-painting you used to fill your time with.

The Top 10 Performances Review

July 15, 2008

Theo Tams – Silly Boy Blue
I didn’t recognize this Bowie song, but it was a good choice for Theo. He is so talented, and his voice is so suited to this song (I was really wondering song what he would choose). He totally proves again that he is quite a talented musician with this song choice.

Adam Castelli – Rebel Rebel
What an entrance!…very cool (and a bit crazy too!). This is one Bowie song that just completely suits him, great song choice Adam!

Sebastian Pigott – Let’s Spend the Night Together
Just terrible. I was really hoping for ‘China Girl‘, ‘Blue Jean’ or even ‘Jean Genie‘. Very disappointing performance from him. Is he just trying to get voted off now that his brother is gone?

Earl Stevenson – Rock n’ Roll Suicide
This is similar to his performance last week, but I would like to see more performances similar to ‘All Along the Watchtower‘(which I loved).

Amberly Thiessen – Space Oddity
What was she thinking? Zack seems to be quite stuck on her, I think he would even stick up for her if she had done something like Under Pressure.
She isn’t memorable and should ONLY sing Norah Jones. I’d like to see her sing “Sunrise” by Norah Jones, if she could handle that one, then maybe I might actually vote for her.

Drew Wright – Five Years
Good drummer, bad singer. Seriously, I just don’t get it. What does everyone see in this guy?

Mookie Morris – The Man Who Sold The World (Nirvana version)
Very cool song, I think he’ll get by on his cool factor. He was lacking a little vocally but this is still a good choice for him. He wanted to show the judges that he could do a song without the Mookie dance.

Katherine St-Laurent – Cat People (Putting Out Fire)
Well, it looks like she’ll be back next week, 80’s rocker Katherine. Such a great choice for her.

Mitch MacDonald – Moonage Daydream
So boring as usual. Please finally take this guy off the show.

Mark Day – Dancing in the Street
I was hoping for a great (hilarious) show from this guy…I was thinking he might come out dressed ‘in drag’ in some totally outrageous outfit and start into ‘Space Oddity’, or ‘Scary Monsters’ dressed in a Monster outfit. That would make my day, I may have HAD to vote for him just to see what he’d come up with for next week.

Poor guy, I really do feel bad for him when I watch his performances, he really does seem to believe that people think he’s talented. I didn’t think he could top last week’s terrible ’Against All Odds’ performance (which just has to prove that he thinks he can sing), but this week the dancing in ‘Dancing in the Street’ topped it off. Please Canada, put this poor guy out of his (and OUR) misery.

Vote for Adam

July 11, 2008

Interesting approach. I was pretty surprised when I found this one on YouTube today.

ADAM CASTELLI is our Son. VOTE for ADAM (YouTube video)

I wasn’t to thrilled with this song choice but his performance was better than this weeks.
I had to laugh when he said “YES, I named it” (When referring to his white cop bike). Really.
                                             
I like the Springsteen-ish belting out bits, I think that’s what he does best.

I think if there was a Springsteen night on Canadian Idol then “Glory Days” might be a good choice.

Next week is Bowie week

July 10, 2008

I know that regional voting plays a big part in Canadian Idol results, and that Newfoundland always manages to get a contestant into the Top 10. Well, that most certainly explains how Mark Day made it through.

I am interested to see how they handle the themes, next week is David Bowie week. What song do you think Mark Day will entertain us with? Or for that matter, what Bowie song would you like to see and from which competitor?

There’s a great discussion about the song choices for Bowie week in the CI Forum here.
