CANADIAN IDOL 3
Idol border battle
by Andrea Baillie
Sun Media
When asked whether Canadian Idol is a more interesting show than
American Idol, judge Farley Flex doesn’t hesitate. “Oh
hell yeah,” he said. “Hell yeah.”
NORTHERN TALENT ... Canadian Idol judges, from left, Zack Werner,
Sass Jordan, host Ben Mulroney, Farley Flex and Jake Gold, present
another season of the hit show on CTV. Flex says the Canuck version
is better than its American counterpart. “When you go to
Newfoundland and those places, they’re less jaded or less
influenced by American culture.” — Farley Flex, Canadian
Idol judge
The boasting comes as American Idol wrapped-up a successful fourth
season and Flex prepares to once again dole out advice to Canadian
singing hopefuls alongside fellow judges Zack Werner, Sass Jordan
and Jake Gold.
The third instalment of Canadian Idol began May 30 on CTV, with
the initial shows — as usual — featuring auditions
from across the country.
While American Idol made news this year for singling out performers
from different musical genres —winner Carrie Underwood is
a country crooner and runner-up Bo Bice a long-haired rocker — Flex
insists the Canadian contest has always featured diverse performers.
“ Maybe we have more eclectic tastes (in Canada),” he said, citing
offbeat Idol contestants like Jenny Gear and Jacob Hoggard.
“ Population distribution has a lot to do with it, too. When you go out
to Newfoundland and those places, they’re less jaded or less influenced
by American culture.”
As a result, says Flex — who has managed homegrown artists like rapper
Maestro — Canadian Idol is more about finding talented performers, than
about discovering a huge commercial star.
“America’s driven by ‘you know what, it’s got to make
money.’ I think here we’re driven by ‘here, it’s got
to be good and make money,’” he said.
This year, the judges visited 13 cities — including first-time trips to
Whitehorse, Yukon, Sudbury, Ont., and Moncton, N.B.
The show has been a fan favourite for the last two summers and has so far remained
free of the voting chaos that has plagued the American version.
Of course, American Idol also made headlines for another reason this year — allegations
of a sex scandal involving a former contestant and judge Paula Abdul.
Flex laughs nervously when asked if a similar situation could arise in Canada,
involving himself or his fellow judges.
“You’d have to — from the standpoint of the Canadian show — be
really dumb to even venture there,” he said.
“ I just don’t see it happening up here at all.”
Catch new episodes of Canadian Idol this week, June 7 and 8, at 9 p.m. on CTV.
