Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For The Top 8 Performances On Canadian Idol
Well, that was an interesting evening of music. Not at all what I expected from these singers.
As I try to grasp for words in writing this week’s Masterclass article, please feel free to add your comments in this post.
Who were your favorites? Did you feel the singing was on par with last week’s or previous weeks’ performances? Who is the chosen eliminated one? Were you happy about the song choices? So many questions, so little time.
Overall this was a tremendously weak show. The singing was not good, folks. And the song choices? Woah! That’s another story. I think Carly and Brian rose to the occasion and I felt that Martha was not given her due from the judges. The girl can sing - give her a break already.
I will attempt to have the Masterclass evaluation up as soon as possible.

I agree, MCL, with what you said about Martha Joy. I thought she gave a lovely performance last night, but the judges were still hard on her.
Yes, Beth, I am getting tired of the judges saying she has a beautiful voice but they aren’t “feeling” her.
She doesn’t really have a whole lot of the “likeability” factor going for her, but you cannot deny her talent.
I thought this was a singing competition?
Jerk Gold is really out to get Martha. He is going around the radio circuit berating her. I’ve heard one of his comments from a major radio station in Toronto where he repeated that Martha is stiff and she doesn’t know how to groove. These were the comments he gave Martha on the Idol show. The tone of his voice is of mockery.
Martha doesn’t stand a chance of winning if this judge continues with his unprofessional conduct outside CI.
Jerk Gold has a vendetta against Martha. What it is, only he knows.
Mark - I hear ya! I have had enough of this show this year, but I will keep on slugging out the Masterclass articles - if only to support true singers like Martha.
I don’t think this girl could do more than she did last night - plus she has become more accommodating and sincere when dealing with the post - Idol “judging”.
I don’t know what his problem is, but he had an identical issue with Season 3 semi-finalist Matt Humphreys and I am glad that Matt did not move on with the show, as he would have had to endure the same negative bias the longer he remained.
Say what you want, but even though we are “voting” the contestants through, one finger is on the phone dial and one ear is listening to the judges.
I wish the voters would think for themselves.
