Teddy Geiger takes different approach to choosing new album's songs

Posted by Paul Little | Thursday, July 3, 2008 @ 4:25am

Teddy Geiger is a young singer-songwriter I first encountered through the short-lived TV show Love Monkey, where he played a (big stretch) young singer-songwriter alongside Tom Cavanagh, Judy Greer, and Jason Priestley. Sure, it starred 2 great Canadian actors and one of my favourite actresses in the world (seriously, I love Judy Greer), but I was impressed by Geiger and his songs which were featured on the show, including its theme song "For You I Will". The song became a Top 10 single, and the album it appeared on, Underage Thinking, entered the Billboard charts at #8.

Canadian Idol Season 6: Top 20 Results

Posted by Mandi Barnett | Thursday, July 3, 2008 @ 2:34am

I just fried my mouse by accidentally dumping half a cup of coffee all over my keyboard tray. It was not fun.

They’re really playing with the format of the entire show this year. Last week, as you may recall, the results show consisted of small group performances. This week, the judges each get to pick their favorite performance from the past two nights and have that person sing again.

Canadian Idol Season 6: Top 20 Performances Pt. 2

Posted by Mandi Barnett | Wednesday, July 2, 2008 @ 3:02am

Happy Canada day, from me and Ben Mulroney. Hope it was a good one.

Tonight’s show opens with a performance from Adam, who claims that he is a rebel (directly associated, I think, with the fact that he rides a motorcycle. Hardcore!) He’s going to sing Wyclef Jean’s “Gone ‘til November”, and he’s not going to do it well. He has good rhythm, but the song itself is more of a spoken track than anything, and Adam’s not really showing us that he can sing. In fact, it seems like all he’s doing is mimicking Wyclef’s version.

Canadian Idol Season 6: Top 20 Performances Pt. 1

Posted by Mandi Barnett | Tuesday, July 1, 2008 @ 12:08am

Good evening, and welcome to Sixties Night on Canadian Idol. During which Ben Mulroney will (unironically) wear a white v-neck t-shirt under a beige suit. The whole time.

By the way, you may have noticed that I’m not Ariana. She’s busy this week helping to plan and execute her best friend’s wedding, and she asked me (Mandi) to fill in for her. So let’s get to it!

Review: Wanted

Posted by Cameron McLeod | Thursday, June 26, 2008 @ 2:21pm

Curving bullets you say...?

The first time I saw a preview for this movie, I was aghast at how ridiculous the idea of curving a bullet was. I mean come on.... The rest of the trailer showed a Dodge Viper fish-tailing in a parking lot at just the right speed that it scooped someone up and into the passenger seat oh-so-perfectly, and a few other tidbits of lesser note.

Canadian Idol Season 6: Top 24 Results

Posted by Ariana Heppner | Thursday, June 26, 2008 @ 1:59am

I would like to personally thank whoever came up with this idea of small-group performances on results night, and I sincerely hope they keep it every week until the numbers dwindle a bit.

I better get to it, since Ben’s all No-Nonsense Mulroney tonight and I desperately seek his approval.
