Canadian Idol Vs American Idol- Simon Cowell vs. Zack Werner!

This year Canadian Idol seems to have a good talented mix of hopefuls. In contrast to other Canadian Idol years, I would venture to assert that this will not only be a good season but most likely the best season in Canadian Idol history! Normally, Canadian Idol has proven to be a real snooze fest in talent, song choices and themes. This season can be a top rate show, that is of course, if the judges pick the semi finalists correctly.

Speaking of judges, did you see that rat faced Zack Werner on tonight’s show? I have to ask who does this idiot think he is? I was overwhelmingly appalled when I saw him put his hands on these kids shoving them all over the stage. While these kids want a to make it in entertainment, they need to know, they DO NOT! have to put up with someone doing to them what Zack demonstrated tonight! I love to hate Simon, but at least with Simon, he has wittiness and you may want to say piss off Simon, at times, but not to the capacity that you want to jump through the television screen and punch Zack out. Seriously, this guy is a nutcase! Where did they get him from?

Reading Zack’s impressive bio does very little for the viewer watching him in action. My own personal opinion of Zack Werner is that he is a rat faced, intolerable, narcistic punk. That would be of more use to society if he stopped being insufferable, pompous with his asshole antics and if he picked up the trash for a living.

I have watched Canadian Idol, all along, however for the exception of Rex Goudie and a few other Canadian Idol talents, I was never compelled to write about the show until now. I always viewed Zack the hack ass Werner as an idiot whose own good fortune has got to his head. Zack Werner has forgotten how to be a human being and how to treat other human beings. He has forgotten that he once was a younger person trying to make it. He has forgotten that viewers are pissed right off with his annual Canadian Idol antics of wanting to get attention. It did not escape my viewing attention each year, when he yelled at some of these kids in such a harsh way that he scared the daylights out of them. Is this really the road to stardom? Having to put up with over aged men who do not contain their tempers, whose class is all in their asses?

I have never seen a more ridiculous judge in all my life and I have to agree with American Idol’s Simon Cowell, “GET ANOTHER JUDGE," and ZACK WERNER’S DEMISE WOULD A WELCOME RELIEF TO VIEWERS. ZACK SIMPLY LACKS SIMON COWELL’S FLAIR TO MAKE EVEN HIS MOST NASTY REMARKS, FUNNY! I also note that Zack every year forbids, wantabee’s from twaning, or being soulful, ect…. Zack’s idea of a good song choice, is watching himself gargle in the morning. I would like to know what Zack suggests, what jandra should the hopefuls sing. Do it Zack’s way or it is the highway. I view Zack as this little insignificant gnat who starts having tiny fisted tantrums to draw attention to himself.

If the judges of Canadian Idol pick correctly, then viewers will be in for a great multi-talented show this year.

I also noted that the other three Judges, Farley, Jake and Sass have a better communication when it comes to judging talent. They actually, have some good advice for the hopefuls. The advise they give is such a breath of fresh air, in comparison to American Idol judges, Randy and Paula.

I am looking forward to a watching a good Canadian Idol year of sheer talent after such a bad season for American Idol which proved to be a big letdown to viewers!

Amazing Race All Stars: Who will be in the final three to compete for the million dollars!

Friday, 20. April 2007, 17:51:43

, , ,

Last week Eric and Danielle avoided elimination, because it was the final! Non-elimination match! However, they will have to pick up speed in the race, in order to stay in the final three for the million-dollar prize. All other teams in the race are very strong, very wilful and will almost stop at nothing to win the million dollars!

This Article is written and owned by: Arne

The teams left:

1. The Dynamic Duo!- Charla and Mirna- You either love them or hate them! Charla and Mirna are the biggest surprise in this race. They showed that they can race, they are not followers they are leaders. Having said that, in their quest to get the finish line, they can be annoying, rude, demanding, and ill mannered! I don't think I have a problem with the above with fellow racers (who for the most part are just as rude and ill mannered)! I do have a problem with how they treat the natives of the countries they visit. It is not necessary to treat the people in the host countries in this manner as we have witnessed them doing! Having said that I am rooting for Charla and Mirna to finish the race and win the prize. I am very impressed with Charla, she has more against her in this race then any other team member, yet she has proven it can be done!

2. Class Act- Oswald and Danny-I am also rooting for them to win as well. If Charla and Mirna cannot win it, I am hoping that Oswald and Danny will win it! This team is the very opposite of Charla and Mirna. They have class, they are well mannered, and they are very respectful to the host countries. I love the way they race! They depend on themselves as opposed to trying keep up with everyone else. They also pride themselves in running a clean race! Having said that, Oswald and Danny may find themselves in the predicament having to get down and dirty for the final leg of the race, if they want the prize of the million dollars. Anyone left will play it down and dirty, if not downright evil to get to the finish and the prize!

3.Dustin and Kandace- Brains and Brawn! Dustin and Kandace have shown and proven they have the skills that go beyond pretty faces, they can play hardball competition! I think the beauty queen's are a threat to the other racers. I don't think that others took them seriously enough. They were to busy thinking that they were the Beauty Queen's and not a serious enough of a threat. Dustin and Kandace seem to be sneaking up on the unsuspecting competitors. Don't be surprised if they go full speed ahead it they make it in the final three. I also think that the Beauty Queen's treat the locals of each country with respect. I do like that quality in them. I am rooting for them as well. They have shown they are not just beauty, but they have a competitive spirit entwined with brains and brawn. They have played this race well!

4.Eric and Danielle-The Mystery Team-This team is my least favourite of all the All Stars! I don't know what it is about them, but they are not that together in this race. I think that they are cynical; they have too many unflattering comments to say about other racers. I am not as impressed with them! Having said that, I know the heat is on in this competition and they were facing other all stars, but I don't know why they are even in the all-star series! Comparing them to the other all stars, it is almost a mystery to why they were selected. They did not do that well in their original race, and it was not their personalities or characters that would of got them an all-star spot! The one’s I would have liked to see in the race in place of Eric and Danielle is Colin and Christie. Could you imagine Colin and Christie pitted against Rob and Amber that would have been something to see!

The Many Music Career Transitions of Icon Great Kenny Rogers: American Idol 04-05-06

The Many Music Career Transitions of Icon Great Kenny Rogers: American Idol 04-05-06




This Article is Written and Owned by: Arne

There are nine competitors left for Idol title and it was going to be a night of Country performances. Who better to represent the Country sound but Icon Great Kenny Rogers. Ryan did a good job in giving us Kenny Rogers musical prose and background in country music. Kenny Rogers’s roadmap and journey in his music career is an inspiration in itself. Even before he was Kenny Rogers and the first edition, he had established himself in the music industry as a talent of staying power. Many Kenny Rogers fans still feel today that he has been vastly underrated by the music authorities. To his fans, he is extraordinarily popular, he appeals to all age groups, and to date still sells millions of albums. Kenny Rogers keeps good credible company with other guest appearances such as Wonder and Manilow. I think that American Idol producers are doing a great job in their guest appearance selection. Icons greats like Kenny Rogers who appear on American Idol is a great memorable experience and guidance for the competitors and even for some viewers who may be considering a music career. Kenny Rogers gave honest gentle critique and guidance to the competitors. He pointed out if thought the song or parts of the song was weak. He knew if a competitor was going to struggle with the song or theme, and he also acknowledged if he thought competitors would be able to do more with a song then anticipated.


Ryan makes his presence known on stage and as usual looks good; however, Ryan did not have time to shave. The well-endowed suit and stubby cheeks is just not a match Ryan. It was a night that Ryan traded some grand slam barbs with Simon and that Paula Abdul received the boo nomination! Ryan introduced to the world Simon’s love life and Simon called Ryan a desperate housewife! Randy Jackson looked dapper and spiffy and we saw stars in the audience with Miss Whoppie Goldberg and Jamie Fox. In fact, they should have had Whoppie critique Simon; she would have made mincemeat out of him!

Simon Cowell has gotten himself in a bit of trouble lately when he decided to diss Beyonce Knowles. Simon made a statement that Beyonce is not sexy!!!! Moreover, an average singer! OK, let us separate the wheat from the chaff here; First Simon needs a reality check! Because in the same token Simon is not sexy, he does have a bit of a middle age gut on him! In addition, he is not the most handsome bloke on earth! In comparison to Beyonce who is a beautiful looking sexy woman who does indeed have a mountain of talent in singing and acting and has the staying power required for entertainment. Compare the spice girls talent to Destiny’s child and Beyonce Knowles, there is no comparison that Beyonce and Destiny Child reins supreme. Beyonce Knowles is the full package. Not only should Simon get his head and ears checked, he should get his eyes checked.

It was a night that Simon was even briefly tongue tied, and he related that he did not know what to say. It was also a night the we saw for the very first time Chris Daughtry Rise to the Challenge and show the viewers that alas, Daughtry has a voice and he can sing. For the first time we saw all nine performances based on the theme. It was a night that Paula accused Simon of being a double talker in his critique; to be fair I think that Paula is also guilty of that and so is Randy Jackson. All three judges double talk in their critiques. Just a special note, Simon admits he is no expert on Country music and he does not like Country music, so his critiques are more personal then that of an expert!

First up was Soul Man Taylor Hicks, I continue to love to see Taylor perform. Even on his worst night, he performs and you just cannot help but love this guy! Taylor sang for us John Denver’s “Country Road”. The redundancy of dumb, dumber and dumbest continues: Randy said good song choice! Nevertheless, it was just ok for him! (If you ever notice with Randy, it is always just okor aight)! Paula did not like the song choice and had expected more because Taylor is so full of life, the song did not allow him to shine or electrify the viewers. Simon pit-bull image comes springing out and he asserted that the performance was boring, safe and lazy. I disagree with Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest, I think that Taylor did a excellent job and he at least rises to the occasion each week!


Ryan quipped, safe, boring and lazy, “ladies and gentlemen this is Simon’s love life”. ha ha ,ha, lets give Ryan 100 points for that quip, it was great, I know I enjoyed Ryan’s wittiness.

Mandisa is front and center and sings for us Shania Twain’s “Any man of mine”. Randy said it was a weird song choice for him; it was not hot but showed some personality. Paula did some double-talking and extended that Mandisa can sing the phone book, her voice is amazing, but it was not a good song choice. Simon started growling his discontent and said it was fun and cutesy but he did not like the song choice. I also disagree with dumb ones; Mandisa did a excellent job with the theme on hand.


Elliot Yamin was up to bat next and he sang for us Garth Brooks “If Tomorrow never comes“. Randy loved the performance. Paula loves him and he is a breath of fresh air. Simon thought Elliott was nervous a good song choice but not a great vocal. Again, I disagree Elliott also did an outstanding job.

Baby Paris Bennett is up next who sang Leann Rimes “How do I live”. First, my critique, wow, Paris really hit it out of the ballpark and gave the best performance of the night. She was bang on. Randy (Dumber) said that it was a tough song choice, not good in the beginning but she got it together, it was alight! Paula (dumb) did not feel connected to the song, but Paris is a powerhouse. (Paula was booed at this point) Simon, decides to cash in on the audience’s jeers and boos against Paula, and disagrees with her! He loved the song and it was an excellent song choice. The audience cheers for Simon, who feels redeemed and human! He boosts that he is lovin the transition of who is the most loved Judge. (Feel better now Simon?).

Up on stage base next is Ace Young who sang for us Keith Urban’s “I wanna cry”. Well I was pleasantly surprised at Ace’s performance; he gave an excellent, outstanding performance. Randy was bored, nice song but did not bring out Ace’s personality. Paula trying to redeem herself with the audience now disagreed with Randy and felt that Ace picked the right song choice to go along with his vocals. Simon eating up the audience cheers and craving for more shed his pit-bull image and said that in the past Ace had not chosen the right song but tonight he has and it was very good. Simon is cheered and Simon grins at Paula and Randy!

Next up was that Vixen Kellie Pickler who sang Reba McIntyre’s “Fancy”. Randy eager to give brownie points to Miss Thing, said that Kellie is in her element and he thought it was great. Paula gave a pass with a good song choice. Great night for her. Simon looking flushed as he always does around Kellie (sad isn't it to see a grown middle age man so smitten with a young lass, that he is all tongue-tied). Simon said, that it could not go wrong for Kellie tonight, he hated the song (sureeeeeee you did Simon) but her performance was good.

Next up was Mr. Rise to the challenge Chris Daughtry. Now I know some have said Chris bombed, but I have to give the man his props and due. At least he tried, and overall he did not sound too bad. Obviously Chris is out of his comfort zone, but the fact is he at least tried it. I know by the look on Chris’s face, he hated every minute of his performance, he can be comforted in knowing, that we the fans enjoyed the change in his performance. Randy, emphasized so we could all be reminded that every week Chris did his rocker thang! This week we saw a different side of Chris, Randy then got all emotional, as he tends to do with Rockers and said good job he enjoyed it. “I’ll rock to that Randy”! Paula not wanting to be outdone said that he showed versatility but he stayed true to himself, (talk about doubletalk) Um Paula, he could not of showed versatility and stayed true to his rock roots! Simon who hates country music said it was great to see this side of Chris, but all the competitors choose boring, uninteresting songs and he felt the home audience deserved more then that. (Awww Simon, for a brief shiny moment, you were loved globally!)

Next up was Katherine McPhee who sang Faith Hill is “Bringing out the Elvis”. Katherine started out strong , started slipping in the middle but gave a good finish. Randy liked the song. Paula thought Katherine had found her niche. Simon thought that the performance was weird he did not like it. Katherine responded to Simon” just admit it, you don’t like country music”! Simon did owe up to this fact. 100 points for Katherine for challenging Simon’s critique and making him owe up to the fact he does not like Country. You go girl!

Closing the show was Mr. Sweetness Bucky Covington. I like Bucky; he is refreshing in his nativity! Bucky sang for us Gary Allen’s “Best I ever had”. Randy thought it was aight. Paula thought he was in his element and he shone in his performance. Simon exerted that he was not an expert in this kind of music it sounded ok to him!

The best performances of the night: 1. Paris 2. Elliott 3. Taylor 4. Chris Daughtry (I have to give him a rating today, based on the fact he rose to the challenge).

The worst performances of the night: 1. Kelly Pickler 2. Katherine McPhee

Who will be going home tonight after America votes: Kellie Pickler( just because I think she is losing her country charm with American Idol fans).

The dumbest award goes to Paula for saying that Simon double-talks in his critques which she also does.

The Dumber award goes to Randy: He is aight, just not hot in his critique.

The Dumb award goes to Simon: For commenting on the performances and admitting that, he does not like country music.

Special Dumbest Award goes to Simon Cowell. For the Beyonce Knowles crack.

Special good guy Award goes to Ryan Seacrest: for getting the best of Simon.

Kenny Rogers will be peforming for us tonight, I look forward to this as do many fans!

All That Buzz- American Idol producers thinking of replacing Paula Abdul! You will never guess with whom- 03-25-2006

All That Buzz- American Idol producers thinking of replacing Paula Abdul! You will never guess with whom- 03-25-2006



This Article is written and owned by: Arne


On Thursday March 23-2006, television news reported that American Idol Producers are thinking about replacing Paula Abdul for her outlandish and strange behaviour like hitting Simon, aggressiveness with Simon and incoherent feedback. The most baffling of this report is that they are thinking of either Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson as replacements! Are they out of their minds! First Britney Spears is considered in most mainstream households as a home wrecker! A man stealer! Jessica Simpson has her own problems and has just been divorced. If they are thinking of replacing Paula, could they not come up with other more CREDIBLE PEOPLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT?

My Opinion:

No I for one do not want to see Paula go! I do not dislike Paula, I like her, and I just think at times she can give better feedback then she does! Having said that, we could say the same for Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson are they going to replace them to?

In Paula’s defence:

I do not think Simon is the easiest person to work with at all! I think that he takes hissy and pissy fits, and that Paula is surrounded with men with no female support! I think that Paula is starting at times to show strength, when she told Simon this week that she would never give him flattering words. (I thought that was great, she gave him a dose of his own medicine)!

What American Idol can do is separate them by having Randy Jackson sit in the middle of them. Really, Simon has a piss poor attitude at the best of times, do not blame it on Paula! I for one want to see Paula really give it to Simon, its entertaining and he deserves it. I love it when Ryan tops Simon. I think many American Idol viewers enjoy it as well.

Finally, Paula could of very well been on medication when she was incoherent, she had not been feeling well if I remember it correctly. I said in a previous article that I did not think she was drunk or on drugs! However, if medications were changed or she was taking an antibiotic her internal system could have been unbalanced. Medications tend to do this to a person including some antibiotics. American Idol leave Paula as Judge, we need her and Ryan to control Simon’s outbursts!

If American Idol producers and Simon think that we will enjoy watching a hag like Britney Spears they have another thing coming. Britney Spears lost her credibility with fans young and old when she became a man stealer and a home wrecker. Neither replacements in Spears or Simpson would be an INCENTIVE!

Would you like to see Paual Abdul Replaced with Jessica or Britney? Vote in the poll.

Other American Idol News:

Simon Cowell appeared on Larry King live on March 17,2006. Simon gave his top three pick( we already know about this and who they are). The best of the inverview is when Simon’s mum called in and she gave us some interesting facts about Simon. For example it seems that Simon likes to shock people, Mrs. Cowell related a story that in on interveiw Simon, told the audience that he was 11 years old before he knew what hot food was! Mrs.Cowell said that she was sitting there watching the show and thought to herself, “I will kill him, I will absolutely kill him”.

Simon’s mom also shared that Simon can sing and dance!!! And that he is kind! ( she added she should know she’s his mom!) Now who can argue with that assertion from one’s mom! Simon’s mom seems to be a spirited jovial lady, she related to Simon and Larry King that she bet that Simon thought she had been sleeping, but she hadn’t she had been out at a disco! Then she added in a fun voice, “ can you believe that!” Simon was responding ok mum, go back to bed! I think that Simon’s mom is probably a very fun lady to be around! She has definitely not stopped living!

Simon also related that he has a close family and he is very close to his brothers and sister and was close to his father! Simon received calls from viewers on Larry King Live,including one genttlemen who asked the famous question:"Is American Idol going to fix that voting system to ensure that we( fans) don't continue to lose talent like Gedeon McKinney! Simon's response was that he could not honestley think of a fairer way for voting. I could! At least limit the votes to 10 times per competitor, I think that would be fair!!
