Girls take center stage tonight for Canadian Idol and prove that the view must be truly golden from the bottom. With no desire to bring it to the level the boys did, the majority of the girls instead seemed to fight over who could be the worst. Poor song choices and out of key lyrics not only brought harsh criticism, it also left one of the judges speechless. For what I am sure is the first time in Canadian Idol history, Zack could do nothing more than shake his head.

“Sing songs that matter and stop this Kareokee nonsense” where Zacks parting words as Canada is left to wonder what happened. Even the judges admitted tonight that they may have made a few mistakes with the top 11 girls

Sadly only two girls are truly safe, Carley Rae Jepsen, the sweet flirty girl from Mission BC stole my husbands heart with “Sweet Ones”. Kicking around on stage in a green mini and high heels that doubled her hight, she had the look, personality and voice to save the show and prove she is the one girl to beat. Mila Miller was the most improved improved tonight lifting her status from an ok performance last week to an all out love fest from the judges with “Tenderness”. Although I had no qualms with her singing I was slightly disappointed that she didn’t bust out in the end, but I don’t think it will hurt her tonight.

Montana Martin Iles, the spunky girl with an accent so thick I can barely understand her when she talks, was critiqued tonight for her lack of singing ability, but more than made up for it in showmanship. Singing, “Thanks for the Memories”, I only hope she can pull out of the punk rut and shines in other venues as well. The sadest moment of the show came second to last, my heart goes out to Annika Odegard. I thought her performance of “Super Duper Love” was amazing, but was critiqued by the judges as having no soul, and left her with a perma smile that you know will end in tears backstage.

Falling from grace as a front runner to truly last in the pack was Kahlila G
singing “I can’t help myself” . Painfully out of tune, she did try to fake
it with spirit, but it didn’t work. Martha Joy, Tara Oram and Naomi-Joy Blackhall followed up last weeks so so performances with unremarkable performances that could send any of them home. On an upside though, Naomi did look amazing!

The most painful performance is also the most truly depressing. Leaving me to wonder if she was called back to be a top 11 for geographical reasons and a cheap budget alone, Scarlett Burke butchered “Proud Mary” and takes home the honors of leaving Zack speachless.

Even John Brunton must admit while eating his humble pie, Scarlett is one Torontonian that truly deserves to go home.
