Greg Neufeld

I thought it might be time to get to know each of the Idols a little better. I'm starting with Greg Neufeld even though he's already been eliminated, because I think there are a lot of people (including me) who believe Canada messed up and Greg should really still be on the show. I'll do similar posts on the remaining Idols over the next couple of weeks.

Stuff that you can find out over at the CTV Idol site: Greg Neufeld is a 23 year old singer/songwriter and house framer from Abbotsford, BC... plus more generic biographical information.

Stuff that you can find out at The Abbotsford News site: He would love to meet Dave Matthews, his first CD was "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor and he describes himself as weird, spontaneous, chill.... plus more trivia.

Watch Greg's first audition for Canadian Idol in 2006.

Check out Di Marco, Greg's band, on the Di Marco site or their MySpace site. And speaking of MySpace, there's a site just for Greg, too.

And if you want to try to help Di Marco get the attention of a record company, there's a petition that you can sign at: http://www.petitiononline.com/recorddm/petition.html

Hope you guys enjoy these links. I'll try to come up with some stuff on the remaining idols soon. (And if anyone has any links or suggestions, please let me know.)

Updates: For those of you that don't read the comments, you can find a collection of Greg's Idol performances and a few mp3 downloads at gregneufeld.blogspot.com. Thanks to the anonymous commenter who left that link! I've now uploaded one of those mp3s to My Music Box in the sidebar for your listening pleasure: "False Accusatins" by Di Marco.

Also, there's a good article about Greg's reaction to the elimination posted over at Idol Stalker.
