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.
Links to the Top 10 performances, I’m just writing my Top 10 show review and I’m hoping to get it up here soon.

Martin Kerr started things off with Coldplay’s “Fix You.” You know he’s wanted to do Coldplay all along, well, now he’s done and now he can home….. Boring, boring and did I mention boring? Oh yeah, don’t mouth off to the judges, for the record, Zack isn’t competing.
Then there was Theo Tams who sang the girliest of girl’s songs with Colbie Caillat’s “Bubbly”. Well he made it a little (a little) less girlie, but frankly, this performance didn’t make me want to care. He’s probably the most talented person competing and my personal my pick for #1, but this performance just doesn’t cut it. The only thing that redeems this performance is his immense talent. Did I mention not to mouth off to the judges, really.
Amberly Thiessen from took the stage next with “You and I Both” by Jason Mraz. Zack said it all, sing a song that’s got star power, and wear something you wouldn’t wear to work to Starbucks, which incidentally is where you’ll be seeing her next week… “tall, or grande?” I really don’t get why the judges keep raving about her.
Adam Castelli followed up with the Bobby Darin version of “If I Were a Carpenter.” Another one of the real stars on the show this year in my humble opinion, but this performance was just bland, I can hardly remember it already. Sadly, one of the best performances of the night.
Up next was Marie-Pierre Bellerose with Janis Joplin’s “Piece of My Heart.” Just don’t do this song. No one can sing like Janis and everyone has tried, in every bar band and every karaoke night ever. Good-bye.
Omar Lunan from Scarborough, Ont., was next with Garth Brooks’ “If Tomorrow Never Comes.” Garth Brooks?… Really? Probably the most talented person this season after Theo, but this was just not his best performance, and there were parts that seemed off key. My only question is, is the world ready for the return of Boys 2 Men.
Then came Mark Day singing “Against All Odds” by Phil Collins. He didn’t beat those odds. This sounds like a bad karaoke performance. Like Farley said, he was all over the map vocally, first he’s flat, then he’s sharp, then there’s the fact that he doesn’t have the right tone of voice for this song (think a man’s voice). I think Ben said it all when he said Phil Collins disappeared from film forever. Just like Mark Day did after Top 16.
The last performer of the night was Mookie Morris singing “Valerie” by the Zutons. First off, the Mook-walk doesn’t look nearly as cool without a guitar. Seems like a groovy little song but I couldn’t really hear him singing. The song was cool, but it was really just not memorable.
Are all of the singers getting home sick? All I could think was “these people WANT to get sent home, even the talented ones. Please guys (and girls), step up and show off what you have or don’t bother showing up at all. This is only week 3 of the real competition you can’t be fading out just yet.
