They voted out the back flipping Cameron Whitcomb, he was the only thing that made that show the least bit interesting.
I have been recording it and watching the performances that interest me, it takes me about a half hour to watch a two hour show.

I’m tired of all the country singers. Country is my least favorite genre and it just dominates all these singing shows now. I miss the old days.

Our only hope now is Noah Thompson, the black guy is also an acceptable choice.

Katy Perry must be pissed:
Gaga is still one of the biggest stars on the planet in both music and film.
Taylor is the biggest pop star on the planet.
Rihanna is a billionaire.
Katy is stranded on a dying talent show.

I saw bits & pieces the year Kelly Clarkson won. And only because a neighbor watched it. That was BARELY watchable. So I can only imagine how bad it is now. It should've been canceled at least a decade ago.

The last time the show produced a contestant that had success after they were on the show was back in 2009 with Adam Lambert - and even his success was just so-so.
Not sure why people still go on this show thinking it will make them a star. Those days are over.

Making tens of millions each year as a touring front man for queen is hardly “so so “ success.

I like the show until the live shows, when the singers are forced into theme genres, like Disney songs.

I’m sure J hud wants back on but they don’t want her

I only voted for Nicolina. I love her big voice. Noah or Huntergirl (insert eye roll) will win, though. Country wins.

If you think Adam makes “tens of millions” a year being a Freddie Mercury impersonator, you’re delusional. He might get $1-2 million per year and the rest is going to the original members of the band.

It’s not called North American Idol. If it were, there would be no need for Canadian Idol.

It’s a tough watch, with all the judges swooning over every performance, calling the contestants “superstars.”

R12 Taylor Swift is NOT the biggest pop star on the planet. Maybe in America, but she’s not that big in the rest of the world.

I agree. Have a group of people over and then don't turn on the TV. See what they do. They'll freak. But first they'll look down on to their phones, wh. won't be put away yet because AI hasn't started and they might miss a like on Facebook. Announce, "Why don't we have a discussion?" Start taking pics of their expressions. The stark horror. Tears will be shed. Texts will be sent.

No other genre of singer has a chance now. The show needs to be renamed “Cuntry Idol”.

Canadian Idol hasn't been on the air since 2008.
Here is the wording of the residency rule:
2. You must be a legal U.S. resident and be authorized to participate in the entire competition portion of the Program and throughout the term of any post-show agreements provided by Producer or any of the other Program Entities (as defined below), including, but not limited to, a recording agreement. This means that you must either: (i) have the unrestricted right to work in the United States, or (ii) possess the appropriate United States employment authorization that permits you to participate and compete in the Program and engage in any post-show agreements and related employment. Prior to the beginning of the competition portion of the Program, each potential contestant must demonstrate, to Producer’s satisfaction, compliance with this requirement in order to accept an invitation to the competition.

I was born the year Carrie Underwood won AI. I did hear about how huge the show was when Simon Cowell was on but I didn’t understand why he was so mean. He wasn’t very nice or validating. Surprised ABC allowed that.

Nicolina may have not won, but she gave us the most GAY moment of the season, if not entire series.

^You're forgetting Phillip Phillips, who won Idol in '12. He's had commercial success (certainly more than Adam Lambert).
