Okay, yesterday on Canadian Idol the final 8 performed, and this is how it went: Mikey Bustos sang "I heard it through the grapvine", and he kept smiling even though it's not a happy song, and he kept holding the microphone out to the crowd so they could cheer. He's totally acting like he's already won. Jenny Gear sang "Sir Duke", and she was really good, and the judges couldn't judge her because Farley Flex said, "It's impossible to judge Jenny Gear.". Next up was Ryan Malcom, who Ben Mulroney called ,"The king of Kinston". Heehee Ben's so funny! Anyway, Ryan sang, "For Once In My Life", and he totally blew the house down. Zack said, "You're actually starting to grow on me, Ryan, that was okay." and then Jake says back, "When you think about it, Ryan, not much grows on Zack, so that's a compliment". That's true. Next came Audrey with, "Mercy Mercy Me". She did alright, but she seemed to be running out of breath during the song. Well, she's only just learned English, so I guess it's kind of hard for her. Next was the star of the show, Tyler Hamilton, with, "My Girl". He was totally and completely AWESOME! Mum said he was embarassing because he kept "grunting" as she put it, but I thought he was just acting hot. He's definately safe for this week, although he got hit pretty hard with criticism from the judges, although I think Zack was just jealous because Tyler stole his clothes. Jake said, "Elvis has left the building, but he seems to have come back as Tyler Hamilton." Is that bad? Number 6, Toya Alexis broke the windows with an extremely pitchy rendition of, "If you really love me". She seriously needs to give up the uber notes, man. They're earsplitting and painful to listen to, which both mean the same thing, but whatever. Moving on, Billy Klippert got the girls screaming with his soulful performance of, "I just called to say I love you." Man, that guy can sing. Zack said that he hit "The two Billy notes", whatever that means. After Billy's performance, Jon starts question Ben about his underwear again, which, as Zack's told you, is a main part of the Canadian Idol Message Board. We have 110 pages about it. Ben tells Jon, "What is your problem? No one CARES about my underwear. Give it up." and Jon shoots back, "You are SO naive Ben, so naive indeed.", and he then tells the crowed to bring signs next week saying, "Boxers or Briefs?" and he starts chanting it with the crowd. A very embarassed looking Ben tells the camera man to go to commericals, and they did. Now, we're back with the last performer of the night, Gary Beals. He sings, "Signed Sealed Delivered", by Stevie Wonder, and did not pull it off with the judges. Jake tells him, "If Toya was the best, then that was by far the worst." Zach told him he sounded like a lounge singer. I thought he sounded just fine. Tune in tonight at 7:30pm to find out which two Idol contestants get the boot. Special thanks to Cynical Scribe for helping me with the recap. Oh, and if you want to see who makes it on American Juniors, it's on at 8:00.
