Canadian Idol - Fantastic

Ha! Not a mis-type or oxymoron (not this season at least). We are just HOOKED this year. I happened to tune in at the beginning of the season, and have been amazed by the talent. I think its because most of the finalists actually play an instrument this year, while I know it takes hard work to sing, I am more impressed by people who are out there, trying to break in, working hard, writing their own music, plying their craft. And most of these people are just that, people who have a love for their guitar and their music. I was just so over Idol, then the talent they have on this year have both Mike (a hard sell!)and I watching every week.

Not only are we watching, but the kids stay up and watch, this is Mr K's favorite show at the moment! He LOVES the guitarists and lives for when he gets to watch it!

This kid Mookie, (from Toronto, he is only 18!)I fell in love with as soon as I saw him sing Twist and Shout,if I had ever come close to "swooning", this would be it.He is so incredibly talented! You can look up more vids on Youtube and watch him and see yourself, this was my favorite tho.There's no way this kid won't be recording soon, and I can't WAIT to see what he comes out with.




And Earl, (good ol' Lloydminster) well, I have a crush on him :) he is Bob Dylan wrapped up in some Leonard Cohen with a dash of soul.



And Theo Tams,(Lethbridge) his voice just says it all. Its gorgeous and he's an amazing pianist.



I just want them all to win!
