Canadian Idol

Ben Mulroney sucks. Every time I see his stupid, full of himself, less-than-40 IQ face on my TV I want to just punch him right in the eye. Canadian Idol as a show I could take or leave, not for me (not much of a reality TV fan) and they always seemed to get their winners wrong, but with Ben Mulroney being added to the mix I can't stand the thought of watching this show for more than one second. He is an airhead Canadian, brunette version of a Ken doll and his father was obviously a total D-bag. I can't stand that guy he makes me want to jump head first into the nearest hole just to get away from my TV. Ben Mulroney sucks!

Canada has put some great talent out there. Shania Twain, Default, Swollen Members, Avril, Sum 41, Three Days Grace, Finger Eleven, Alanis Morisette, and Nickelback are among the honorables. However, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...and here it is.

This is Canadian Idol. It's like American Idol but with none of the talent and none of the likability.

The judges will pick anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who can sing above a certain number of decibels. People will come up and sing a painful version of "Stacey's Mom" or screech through "A Whole New World" and the judges will ooooh and awwww and gush at every atrocious note the singers attempt to hit.

They will drown the singer in praises and give them the golden ticket to Toronto.

Meanwhile, the host is out on the town, picking up Idol hopefuls on a greyhound bus, drinking Screech, having a date with a Cod (unfortunatly, I'm not joking), chipping away at the sea ice so the ferry can get to St. John's, and comforting weepy losers who diddn't make it to Toronto. WHAT THE HECK AM I WATCHING HERE?! I thought this was a talent show seeking the next great Canadian singer, not revealing the worst in Maritime culture. This show literally makes me ashamed to be Canadian. And I though Hayden Christianson's horrible acting in "Attack of the Clones" was the worst in Canadian no-talent. Can I still change my vote?

Americans, don't think you have it easy. You guys still need to shake off "The Swan".

1/10

CTV Bring this back! Or can you ask Simon Cowell for a X Factor for at least one season? Please?

The only way this show can flop is if this guy does not win. I find that he is the best every week. I mean Mikey Bustos sucked I am glad he is gone, Toya Alexis sucked I am gad she is gone, Tyler Hamilton was better than Jenny Gear, why is he gone and she's still there?

Looks like Canada are just as bad at voting as the Americans.

This season was absolutely spectacular! I've seen American Idol, and i didn't want to give Canadian Idol a chance. I was sure it was going to be a waste of time, like almost every other Canadian-based show we have. I was completely blown away with how wrong i was... with this particular season anyway. It was jam-packed with talent and hilarity, two very important factors, I'm sure, in the show's ultimate success. I was especially impressed with Canada's ability to distinguish between real, original talent and your everyday excellent performance. The top 3 easily proves our country's ability to do just that, having Jacob, Theressa and Kalan - all of whom have very original voices. Even though Kalan won, all three of the finalists developed equally impressive careers for themselves afterward, something American Idol has yet to accomplish. Besides the amazing talent this season, there was definitely other memorable moments (especially involving Jacob's comedic antics) that further proved that this season of Canadian Idol was definitely the best season, in any country, thus far.
