Who is she? Well, if you are Canadian you might know. If your watching Canadian Idol you will know! This women's voice will rock your soul. I have never heard someone's voice that made me want to cry. This women's voice does that to me. And no not in the "Lord, she *really* sucks!" No, in the way that one of the judges said, Zach, he said the voice that comes out of her mouth is holy. And honestly that is how I feel when I hear her voice. I would honestly go to Toronto, sit through the torture of bad Canadian humor just to hear her sing! If they put up part of her performance on the website I will share it with those in the States who won't or can't get the chance to hear her.
Now, there is one other Idol I don't want to neglect. His name is Josh Palmer. Tonight he sang Hallelujah . It was so haunting. I loved it. He is so original. He's kindof like Bo and Constantine from American Idol. He just has this intense stage presence and such a haunting voice. He is truly an artist.
I'm not a fan of Canadian Idol. It sucks compared to American Idol, but I have to say they hooked me with these two people. I would pay over and over to listen and watch them that is for sure! :)
BTW: Have you ever read the words to Hallelujah? I guess its been awhile for me. Here they are:
I heard there was a secret chord
That david played to pleased the lord
But you don’t really care for music do you
It goes like this, the fourth the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing, hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
Well I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well really, what’s it to you
There’s a blaze of light in every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken, hallelujah
Hallelujah...
I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel so I learned to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I’ll stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my lips, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Well, maybe there’s a God above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it’s no complaint you hear tonight
It’s not some pilgrim who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

I think Leonard Cohen is the one who wrote the song "Hallelujah". That song has beautiful imagery but I can't hear it without picturing Shrek ;)
