I hoped that here in Canada we would go beyond this just being a popularity contest. It seems that I hoped in vain.
Let’s go back a day to the performance show; Jaydee Bixby was just teh awful. When he performed the Green Day song Unpredictable I agreed with the judges: in this case delving outside of his comfort zone just highlighted his singing flaws.
Now push forward a day to results night. He was completely safe! Matt Rapley and Martha Joy were the two lowest vote-getters. Matt I wasn’t surprised; after a great performance last week he was just mediocre this time. Martha Joy on the other hand was actually pretty good, especially not singing a Celine Dion song… but of the two she got cut.
She couldn’t hold in her emotion to sing the show out - but at 16 I wouldn’t expect her to do so.
