CI5 Episode 29: Top 3 Results: "Prime Minister Della Terza?"
The pressure's on as our Idols are competing for a spot in the finale and the chance to make a flop record and fade into oblivion by November. But that's nothing compared to the pressure CTV and Brunton are feeling knowing that VFTW has completely taken over this trainwreck, is choosing the songs for the Idols and may just be powerful enough to get an Elvis impersonator into next week's finale.
As has become VFTW custom, we begin with the group number. They're doing a song by Sass and beyond advice, she must've given them a sip from her cup as they're stumbling around the stage all confused. Carly's extra-drunk as she's slurring her words. Jaydee has put a lot of thought into this performance and has decided that it calls for a fake twang and dopey grin. I can't pay attention to Brian's singing as I'm watching like a hawk for any sign of the Swastika under his hat.
Here comes Ben, who's not wearing a tie and looks more drunk than his father. And if any more proof of his drunkedness were required, Ben misreads the cue card and tells us there were 4.1 million votes last night. And we know it's going to be VFTW's night as one of our all-time favourites is ready to flame up the stage...Jacob Hoggard! CTV's worried about Jacob's performance and has given him a very specific list of things not to do...
- No removing shirt
- no removing pants
- No urinating on the audience
But Jacob pisses on rules (and everything else) and is determined to give a shout-out to VFTW and our choice Jaydee by prancing around the stage like a dancing fool.
The parade of losers continues as Season One winner Ryan Malcolm's next. Ryan was a bit of a precursor, being that he was the first in a long line of Canadian Idols to flop. He's decided that the key to rejuvinating his career is to become a heroin addict, turn anorexic, and crawl into a corner, being emo. The platinum albums have been handed out by the hundreds this season but CTV has seemed to have forgotten Ryan's. I'm sure he'll be back on CI137 to correct this oversight.
It's now homecoming time as our Idols get to reacquaint themselves with their inbred relatives and drunken friends. Jaydee's having a parade through his hometown of Bum Fuck, Alberta, and is hanging with a crowd you'd find at a noodling competition. Each of our Idols are doing a song tonight and Jaydee has gone through his songbook with a finetooth comb and has chosen...Elvis! And if taking a picture with our sign weren't enough, Jaydee's cementing our support by bringing the Elvis impersonation and fake twang we demand.
Carly Rae's homecoming is next and it's payback time for being a complete bitch to all of British Columbia as no one shows up for her. She's doing Torn but Steffi D is still pissed from last night and is continuing to make Carly miss notes and gurggle. Brian's homecoming is next and Brunton has forced enough of his relatives out to make Brian's crowd slightly larger than Carly's. He's doing She Talks To Angels and I just can't concentrate anymore with this hat mystery. What's Brian hiding under there? It's enough he wears it every single performance and results night, he also wears it when he's being mentored, practicing with the band and EATING KRAFT DINNER IN THE HOUSE! It's time for VFTW to send one of our special agents to the show and rip off Brian's hat, revealing the dark secret he's hiding underneath.
And the musical guests are getting skinnier and skinnier (and more effeminate) as Season 2 winner Kalan Porter's next. Ben tells us that Kalan's gone on to gold records, Juno Nominations and three different genders.
Jacob, Ryan and Kalan are waiting backstage to welcome the next former-Idol contestant to become irrelevent as it's time to get to the results. Who would've believed ten weeks ago that a 16-year old Elvis impersonator would be standing on the stage with a chance to make it to the finale on Canada's #1 show? VFTW, that's who. The 'tards ignored us when we got Jaydee to the Top 8. They jumped off the building when we got Greg eliminated. It's become clearer and clearer every week how VFTW's power in Canada has grown. The question is: When will the day come that VFTW's powerful enough to pick someone at the very beginning of the Top 10 and carry them through to the finale despite this contestant being the laughing stock of Canada and us having to fend off every attempt to sabotage our master plan from Brunton and his goons at CTV through their massive pimping of chosen ones Carly and Brian? When will this day come? The answer is... RIGHT NOW!, as VFTW single-handedly pulls off the greatest miracle in Idol history...damn it, one of the greatest miracles EVER...by getting Jaydee Bixby to the finale! And you'll have to excuse VFTW if we're slightly giddy/drunk as it's hard to decide what's the greater victory-getting Jaydee to the finale or ridding Canada of the phoniest contestant EVER. We get the video of Carly's time on the show and the replay of her emotional breakdowns and dramatics is like watching a performance of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
What can I say, Canadian Worsters! We've always had fun in our little Canadian Idol forum over the years but doubted we could be a power in Canada like we are in The States. Well my American friends, you could probably blow up our country with one bomb but that's nothing compared to the power we've generated in this country by getting Jaydee to the finale. But we'll all hear that bomb explode next week when VFTW single-handedly makes sure that the album released by the next Canadian Idol is nothing but Elvis, Elvis and more Elvis! Either that, or the noise we'll be hearing are Brunton, Carly and Brian hitting the ground.

Well done once again STP -- however, I cannot stress this enough, and I will stress this again for all Worsters and sympathizers and allies to hear, and it's a drum that I'm sure has been beaten so worn that the skin itself is almost nonexistent. But let me put on my Churchill hat, stand on the soapbox, and bleat this out one more time:
OUR VICTORY IS NOT COMPLETE. WE HAVE ONE MORE BATTLE TO WIN, OUR GLORIOUS VICTORY IS FINALLY AT HAND.
In our many summer long battle, we've won major victories with Corpsey LeBland and others. But never have we come so close to achieving our finest hour. Some may claim that we are in it for the schadenfraude, others think we're just wasting our time fighting the powers that be, and bravely we have laughed it off.
We have not cared from wherever we are from, or whatever political persuasion we are. Whatever cleavages have been created, we have come together as one, standing tall for a cause that we hold dear -- to vote for the worst. Maybe not the worst, but the ones who are truly entertaining (and likely highly unmarketable).
But whatever cause you believe we stand as, the premise still remains the same. We're here, we've got a freakin' point to prove, and they're gonna have to fucking listen sooner or later: that their method of "star" "creation" is merely a poor excuse for cash generation rather than about the music as they claim it to be.
So brothers and sisters, unite one more time this season next week, for we are on the cusp of something big! Hey, Nigel Lithgow (misspelling intentional, no offense John) -- how do you like us now, old chap?

HAHAHAH nice work, STP! I love your blogs!
Next week is a biggie but the aim of VFTW should be to get Bwian to the win. Why? You say so yourself:
The pressure's on as our Idols are competing for a spot in the finale and the chance to make a flop record and fade into oblivion by November.
Let's get Bwian to the win and the shitty 19E contract and incredibly shitty CD only his family will buy and return for refunds in a week. Then Jaydee is free to make the CD he wants to!
Now that, my friend, is VFTW power......who would have thought we'd have our pick last so long! WHOOOOOO!!!
*runs off to order a VFTW tshirt*

WHEEEEEEE!!!!
JAYDEE IS IN THE FINALE!!!!
*Dance Party*
And Twisted Chinaman does have a point, we must not forget the big battle to come next week as finale night nears.
Although I wouldn't want Jaydee to be stuck with the crap label CI has in the wings, it would be nice showing Brunton who's really boss!
Jacob was hilarious, just as I expected, but not as insane as usual, Brunton must have told him to be on his best behavior, which means no strip shows, tackling people, or urinating on the audiance.
Something tells me I wouldn't want to be on the groundfloor of a Hedley concert. If Jacob was allowed to be his usual self, peeing on the judges would have been bonus points. ;3
He didn't tackle/grope Ben either! Robbed! I hate you Brunton!
I'm sure Kalan looooved meeting up with the insane Jacob again. XD
Smartie,
19e has right of first refusal on all contestants. If they want to make a record with Jaydee as #2, they will and he will have to work for them as long as they want him there.
Basically we need to get him the win so that he has some cash to post against, otherwise he's in the financial crap hole that so many end up in, and we don't want that for our Jaydee.
Magooish

Hey everybody,
__________________________Although I'm not the bashing type, I'm kinda addicted to this site now. You guys are just growing on me. I also swore to myself I wouldn't watch CI ever again after Tyler was gone, but Jaydee was my next choice, so... Congrats to all of you for keeping him there. :)
Anyway, every time he sang, some memory kept coming back to me and I just couldn't figure out what it was... till last night when he sang that whatever song. For a split second, it became all too clear and I had a flashback of NICK RIVERS! For those of you who are younger than me (most of you), NR is the main character from a 1984 movie called Top Secret who happens to be a parody of Elvis turned rock star. Now you know...
PS: Mr. Hoggard wasn't quite a fool, just a very very happy rooster.
Ciao for now, take care all.
Definitely not normal & never want to be
oops, I meant to say NR when he's singing "Spend the Night With Me"
__________________________Definitely not normal & never want to be
Welcome, Adele!
I'm going to look up Nick Rivers and see what you're talking about...thanks!

AHA! I'm still older than you! he he he. Thanks for the pix and yes, VK was oh so pretty back then. Thanks for the welcoming words (you and M-Dawg)
__________________________Definitely not normal & never want to be
I never saw that movie, but I did crush on Val Kilmer about a decade or more ago....
I'm 46, so I think I may have you beat. But you know what? I love this site because it has all kinds of people on it and generally age does not matter.
However I did just quote (and alter) Henry the fifth on the Jaydee 1 hour show thread, and I think I got a lot of "huh?" looks from the younger crowd. :)
Hey, I would not change a wrinkle! I am who I am courtesy of age and experience.
Welcome!!!!
Magooish
