The Top 6 perform on Canadian Idol


This week the Idols performed pop rock hits from around the world.

The special guest mentors of the night were Maroon 5.

01. Tara Oram sang Walking on Sunshine.
I thought that she just isn't good enough to win this competition and should have gone home weeks ago. She has a good stage presence and her vocals are not bad they are just not up to par with where there need to be in my opinion for her to deserve to win.
The Judges said that it was a tough song to do and she was a little short on notes but the performance was strong. Too pop, it suited her personality, she didn't sing as good as she acted, awful.

02. Jaydee Bixby sang Amazed by Lonestar.
I thought that he had a rough start. I really don't think he knows how to portray a serious emotion during a song. He is always smiling which makes it feel corny. I didn't like his voice or performance this week.
The Judges said that he didn't hit the notes needed to and caused his ears to throb, looked better than sounded, awful, sang pretty good but the drawl is a bit much and emotions weren't believable.

03. Matt Rapley sang Everything by Michael Buble.
I thought that he was hard to hear at times because the background musicians were drowning him out. It was a pretty good performance. Was definitely better than that first two singers of the night.
The Judges said that it was the best performance of the night so far. Was shaky in lower parts but good, better than he had done the past couple of weeks but smiling too much, lot of entertainment in that song, looked comfortable on stage, good job.

04. Carly Rae Jepsen sang Come to My Window by Melissa Etheridge.
I thought that as usual I didn't enjoy her performance. She seems like a sweet person but I just do not enjoy her vocals at all. I thought this was the wrong song choice for her as well.
The Judges said it had its moments but not fav song, she was smart to do it Carly Rae way, beautiful, good interpretation, best version ever heard of that song.

05. Brian Melo sang Dolphins Cry by Live.
I thought that he got into the song. There were some rough moments but for me it was the best of the night and he is now my current pick to win Canadian Idol.
The Judges said it was the right song choice, good job, great emotions, excellent song choice, sang with emotion, inspiring, only real performance of night.

06. Dwight D'eon sang Smooth by Rob Thomas and Santana.
I felt that he was entertaining , his vocals weren't too bad and it was one of his best performances. He was great on his guitar. I actually thought he was the 2nd best of the night.
The Judges said they really enjoyed, lots of energy, singing not so good, cool, made it his own, not vocally strong, good guitar playing.

My pick to be eliminated this week either Tara Oram or Jaydee Bixby.
As I mentioned before now that Greg Neufeld has been cut I am voting for Brian Melo to win. Out of the bunch I feel he deserves it.
