Canadian Idol Top 22: Results, week 1

For those of you who missed tonight's results show...

The bottom four boyz: Derek, Clifton, Justyn and Andrew
The bottom four grrls: Mila, Naomi, Maud and Christine

Before I get to the final results, I want to quickly mention a couple new songs that I discovered. New to me, I mean.

The first was sung by Montana Martin Iles: "The Bird and the Worm" by The Used (on "Lies for the Liars"). I added that one to My Music Box last night (check out the sidebar). I definitely want to hear more by this band and might end up doing a full post about The Used once I've discovered them more fully. And here's a link for the lyrics.

The second was sung by Carly Rae Jepsen: "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae (on "Corinne Bailey Rae"). I've now uploaded that song to My Music Box, too, for your listening pleasure. And here's a link for those lyrics.

And now for the final results...

The two boyz that went home: Derek Hoffman & Justyn Wesley
The two grrls that went home: Maud Coussa-Jandl & Christine Hanlon

My favourites have lived to sing another day!
