Canadian Idol sucks. Plain and simple. I have a feeling that Simon Fuller (creator of American Idol and its Canadian spin-off) didn't realize what he was doing when he decided to come to Canada to launch his show. The contestants are a group of misfits who lack vocal talent (the best are only good, not great) and definitely lack the visuals. Everyone looks like a dork. There haven't been any powerhouses, and so far I've been bored each time I've watched the show. Maybe it's missing a certain Cowell. My sister's friend called to vote for 2 people, and found that the phone lines were NEVER busy. So with the 500,000 votes they receive, they're going to determine who the Canadian Idol is. Fascinating. Heck, I don't even think I've heard them say something like "X million people voted, and..." I think they keep it quiet because the number of voters is embarrassing. Anyway, that's why I think Canadian Idol sucks.
