Canadian Idol Top 6
Pop/Rock week… I'm still not convinced that those two genres have truly merged. I think it just represents Pop music with a Rock influence. Real Rock is something else entirely, but I digress.
1. Tara Oram
[singing "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves on Greatest Hits (lyrics)]
This was probably one of my favourite performances of Tara's because there was barely a twang in sight. Although I could have done without those little yips and she was kind of pitchy in the chorus, but I'm just happy it wasn't country!
2. Jaydee Bixby
[singing "Amazed" by Lonestar on Lonely Grill (lyrics)]
I don't know why I bother reviewing Jaydee. My opinion of him hasn't changed since last week except to be a little tinged by bitterness that he's still here and Greg isn't.
3. Matt Rapley
[singing "Everything" by Michael Bublé on Call Me Irresponsible (lyrics)]
It was nice to see Matt at the piano. And nice performance technique when he later stood up from the piano. I think his performance ability is finally starting to catch up with his vocal ability. Good job.

4. Carly Rae Jepsen
[singing "Come To My Window" by Melissa Etheridge on Yes I Am (lyrics)]
I don't think it was the best song choice for Carly Rae. The first verse was really good, the first chorus was magic, but the bridge and second chorus were a little shouty for my tastes. But she ended it as pure Carly Rae, so the scale tipped in her favour and I mostly liked it.
5. Brian Melo
[singing "The Dolphin's Cry" by Live on The Distance to Here (lyrics)]
Funny, I was just listening to Magni's version of this song from Rock Star: Supernova on my minidisk player today. While I think that Brian connected to the emotion of the song, I couldn't help but compare it to Magni who just killed it. So while I don't think Brian sang it as well as Magni, I still think it was the best performance of the night. Way to go, Brian.

6. Dwight D'eon
[singing "Smooth" by Santana and Rob Thomas on Supernatural (lyrics)]
Well, this performance did help remind me that I actually liked this guy in the Top 22. However, I think his guitar playing trumped his singing. But not bad overall.
Hmm… did everyone else find this week a little disappointing or is it just that I'm not in the right mood because Greg wasn't there?
