+ the only rocker chick on the show, has the rabid Nova Scotia voting bloc
- too edgy for Canada, tweentards can't relate to her
Prediction: will be booted off around Top 14
+ stands out as the only female RnB singer representative
- token coloured person AND from Manitoba
Prediction: DOOMED. one of the first ones to go
+ distinct pop-rock/blues voice will separate her from the other girls
- Francophone and female
Prediction: will leave first week of semis
+ uberpimped, very talented, can sing and interpret songs in his own flavour
- will split votes with other singer-songwriter types
Prediction: a lock in the Top 10 and possibly Top 5
+ distinct raspy voice makes him stand out
- barely featured last season and this season, will split the die-hard English loyalist votes with Martin, will split votes with other singer-songwriter types, raspy voice may not be everyone's cup of tea
Prediction: gone second week of semis
+ fangirls and gaes will love him and vote for him based on his looks. he's got the contemporary pop-rocker style
- medicore vocals, will split votes with other singer-songwriter guys
Prediction: may stick around in the semis but not make the top 10
+ strong voice, beautiful modelesque looks will help her (maybe)
- little airtime in Toronto rounds, will split votes with other folk singers
Prediction: may make the top 10 but will be gone early
+ from Newfoundland (he's got the votes locked)
- worst male singer in the Top 24
Prediction: as the only Newfie in the Top 24, he gets a pass to the Top 6 at least
+ good vocals, may be a fangirl target
- cocky attitude might or could have already turned off some potential voters, will split votes with pop-rock guitarists
Prediction: gone second week as there are other better singers than him
+ experienced singer, medium amount of pimpage at Toronto rounds, likely to win the show according to the executive producer
- his vocals don't stand out, will split votes with other singer-songwriters, will split votes with other fellow Englishman Paul,
Prediction: he'll get Keith'd around the Top 14
+ the only RnB representative for the males therefore he should stand out, lots of pimpage at Toronto rounds, sob story may help him out
- token minority
Prediction: KKKanada will get rid of him first week (just like the other RnB singer types on this show)
+ dark horse to win despite minimal screentime, may perform indie songs not sung on idol before
- will split votes with other singer-songwriters, will split votes with fellow Nova Scotian Lindsay B, tweentards may not relate to his indie song choices
Prediction: he's the fly-under-the-radar types that tend to do well on the show therefore, he's in the Top 10.
+ talented guitarist. very edgy. rocker persona will get him votes. stands out as the first and only online auditioner on the show
- will split votes with other singer-songwriters, British Columbia won't give a hoot about him
Prediction: possibly in the Top 10
+ as the youngest male competitor on the show, he is the fangirl target numero uno
- will split votes with other singer-songwriters, will split votes with fellow Torontonians, enigmatic personality might not help him build a fanbase
Prediction: possibly in the Top 10
+ strong voice, people may remember her from her group performance with the Pigotts and Mooks
- she carries the "BUT SHE AUDITIONED IN AMERICAN IDOL 7 ALREADY!" stigma, may split votes with the belters/balladeers
Prediction: gone second week
+ extremely talented and uberpimped to the max by the judges, confirmed fangirl target
- will split votes with his brother, will split votes with other singer-songwriter guys but he will prevail each and every time,
Prediction: a lock in the Top 10 and possbly Top 5 but will go home in a shocker boot
+ fangirl target, gimmicky sibling story arc will help him get votes
- always overshadowed by his brother because he is not as talented and uberpimped, will split votes with other singer-songwriter guys,
Prediction: will leave in the semis possibly before the Top 10 is established
+ none
- female, from Quebec, little airtime, no fanbase, canon fodder, there are other vocalists better than her
Prediction: gone first week at semis
+ people will remember her as the "OMG! ROBBED!!!11" from last year as well as the moderate amount of pimpage she got this season
- vocals and looks degraded this year (what happened?), this is not the season to be in for ballad-belters like her
Prediction: gone second week
+ as a white boy with soulful vocals, he stands out. also, he will endear towards the blue-collar voters. being a male from Alberta will help him, also a fangirl target
- surprisingly none
Prediction: lock in the Top 10 and possibly Top 8.
+ none
- female, Quebec, little airtime, mediocre vocals = CANON FODDER
Prediction: gone first week in semis
+ one of the stronger vocalists and song interpreters, stands out as the token pianist, his voice appeals to the general viewers
- may only sing boring ballads and adult contemporary favourites
Prediction: possibly in the Top 10 but not further.
+ cute
- will split votes with the other folky females, invisible in Toronto rounds and thus her fanbase barely established
Prediction: possibly in the Top 10 but one of the first ones to go sadly
+ falsetto singing might make him stand out in a good way
- given last minute airtime in Toronto rounds, dispensable canon fodder, will split votes with other singer-songwriters
Prediction: gone second week in semis
Ok, well I'll watch the Toronto shows later and come back here and post some predictions.
