Risti 190 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 05-30-05, 02:57 AM (EST) "Canadian Idol Starts This Week." ... and I'm just checking to make sure this is still an ok forum to be discussing it. I'm pretty sure I remember it being mildly brought up last season, but I just wanted to confirm. Also, to see how many CI fans(or at least people who like to bash the show, and with Ben, you always know there will be plenty to bash) there are around here. Having auditioned, and been rejected at the second round of precuts, I've been planning on doing a sort of "Bitter Rejected Contestant Summary/Commentary" this season, based on my (fairly) knowledgable wisdom. (A year of being a voice major at university, amoung other things) The main spot for them will probably be on my LJ, but I'll cross-post here, if there's interest.   Top

strid333 2928 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 05-30-05, 03:53 PM (EST) 1. "RE: Canadian Idol Starts This Week." Yep, I can't wait. We could do official summaries (that is if the blue peeps approve), like we did for this past season of AI. I wrote a couple for them. I'm willing to do a few summaries, but I don't want to do every single one because they are quite time consuming and I do also want to write some Big Brother summaries this summer, as well. And yes, if people won't read them, I don't really want to put the effort into them. Three is the perfect number.   Top

Risti 190 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 05-30-05, 07:17 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Canadian Idol Starts This Week." Ooh, official summaries. I'd gladly trade in attempting to do them every week if there are others who are interested in trading off. In any case, I'll be watching tonight with a notepad in hand and the vcr set.   Top

strid333 2928 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 05-30-05, 08:12 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Canadian Idol Starts This Week." I just sent an email to one of the moderators asking about summaries. In the AI season, we didn't start summarizing until the top 32 was revealed. I think summarizing before then can get difficult (making The Amazing Race summaries look easy). Three is the perfect number.   Top

Risti 190 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 05-30-05, 09:35 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Canadian Idol Starts This Week." Probably, but I decided to torture myself this season and attempt it anyhow. Especially since I just watched them show the city I auditioned at. On another note, though. Wow. I was really, really impressed with that episode.   Top

strid333 2928 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 05-31-05, 00:03 AM (EST) 5. "RE: Canadian Idol Starts This Week." I just saw that episode too, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous two years. They didn't showcase the cities and didn't show as many of the "stories" of the contestants as they did previously. Nobody struck me as really wonderful. But on the other hand, there wasn't anyone who was William Hung horrible, either. To me, the episode was ok. Three is the perfect number.   Top

Risti 190 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 05-31-05, 02:04 AM (EST) 6. "RE: Canadian Idol Starts This Week." It was different, but to me, after the first city or two, it lost the feeling of being rushed, and began to just feel sleek. No five minute pieces dedicated to people who they're just going to end up humiliating, but rather, just a nice overview of talent and personality. I'm wondering if they're changing the format of the show, considering that if they do another episode that covers this many cities, they're barely going to have any first audition episodes. I liked the way things were edited together. Ben and Jon, with only one or two exceptions, seemed funnier than normal(Ben in the tan bed was classic, IMHO, and shows that a producer somewhere knows what the main Ben snark is). There was a real flow to the episode, an overlying arc, even. Would I have liked to have spent more time in each city? If they could have kept the production level and pure filler-quotient at the same place? Yes. However, as long as there proves to be a purpose for rushing us through this stage(Longer time spent in the Toronto auditions, perhaps a Top 24 similiar to AI4), I'll be happy. I don't mind if we get to know our eventual finalists(as picked by the judges) better, while leaving behind the people who turn out to really only be mediocre. Mainly, though, I'm glad it didn't turn into the "point and laugh" form of entertainment that Fox is dragging the show towards more and more each season.   Top

"I'm watching for the first time" Seeing as I enjoyed this years American Idol so much I thought I'd give the Canadian Idol a try. Last night was the first time I've ever watched the Canadian version. I liked it. I'm guessing that Rockerchick from Vancouver will be our version of Constantine. Holy cleavage Sass!   Top

Phonestayedbusy 9 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 05-31-05, 06:42 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Canadian Idol Starts This Week." Never heard of Canadian Idol. Where can we see that show? What channel, time? Will it be aired in the US? I'm in Texas. I just love to see the passion and drive of these kids.   Top

strid333 2928 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 05-31-05, 08:44 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Canadian Idol Starts This Week." I think that it airs only in Canada (which is dumb imho because we watch your American Idol), but I do know of some torrent websites that do sometimes show this. For example, I know a couple of sites that are providing the torrents for Big Brother Australia. If I start seeing the Canadian Idol torrents, I might PM you. (Because technically, it is illegal to download this stuff and posting on this website is breaking the rules.) Three is the perfect number.   Top
