Canadian Idol Season Five Announces Their Stellar Lineup Of Stars For The Top Ten Performances

July 12, 2007 by Masterclass Lady 3 Comments


It’s going to be an exciting summer of music and, with all the famous rock artists traversing the Idol stage, I, personally, will miss eliminated rocker contestant Tyler Mullendore’s contribution to the mix. I can only imagine the entertaining performances he would have presented throughout the season and sometimes that’s all we are left with in this very unpredictable show.

However, I am still very happy – not thrilled – but pretty happy with this year’s Top 10. Some have yet to evolve, but I am certain that we are in for a few artistic surprises along the way.

Here is the show’s lineup as posted on the CTV SITE.

Barbados-born Rihanna, 19, has landed in the No. 1 position with singles from each of her three albums. Her current hit “Umbrella” is sitting in the No. 1 spot of Billboard’s Hot 100 list. Rihanna will appear in Wednesday’s episode as she answers questions from the Canadian Idol Top 10 and shares her secrets on landing No. 1 songs on the charts before performing her hit song “Umbrella.”

Top 9
Monday, July 23 @ 9 p.m. ET/PT – “The Music of the Sixties”

The Top 7 competitors will workshop with Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor on the set of the hit musical “We Will Rock You,” rehearsing with the nine-piece rock band that backs the Queen-themed production. Then, the Top 7 will join May and Taylor and some of the cast of “We Will Rock You” on stage for the musical’s show-stopping finale. On Tuesday’s show, “We Will Rock You” star Yvan Pedneault will perform with the Top 7 on the Canadian Idol stage.

British pop sensation Mika has been compared to everyone from Freddie Mercury to David Bowie, which makes him the perfect mentor for Canadian Idol’s “British Invasion” episode. On Monday’s episode, Mika will workshop with the Top 4 as they rehearse songs, both past and present, from the UK. Then on Tuesday’s episode, Mika will take to the stage himself.

Top 3
Monday, September 3 @ 9 p.m. ET/PT – “Judge’s Choice/People’s Choice”
Tuesday, September 4 @ 8 p.m. ET/PT – Kalan Porter

Each member of the Top 3 will perform two songs each on Monday night – one chosen by Canadian Idol’s four-member judging panel, and for the first time ever, the other chosen by Canadian Idol viewers in an online poll. One week after his sophomore album Wake Up Living is released, 2004 champion Kalan Porter returns to the Canadian Idol stage on Tuesday’s results episode.

Top 2
Monday, September 10 @ 9 p.m. ET/PT – “Finale”
