Canadian Idol Top 9 Results

(andPOP) - The Idols open the show with a medley of songs including “Kiss The Sky” and “A Little Less Conversation.”

We go through the typical recap of last night, with clips from the previous night’s performances.

Jaydee Bixby, the runner up from last season’s Canadian Idol, returns to the stage to sing “Old Fashioned Girl” from his new album, Cowboys and Cadillacs.

Simple Plan will help celebrate Canadian Rock, Gavin Rossdale on Unplugged, Bryan Adamson Bryan Adams week, Tom Jones on Best of Britain,

In a preview for the upcoming weeks themes and special guests, Ben announces that Simple Plan will help the Idols during Canadian Rock week, Gavin Rossdale for Unplugged, Bryan Adams for Bryan Adams songs and Tom Jones for the best of Britain.

And now it’s time to get to the results. After Theo and Earl are announced safe, Ben calls on Mark, Katherine and Drew. The men are safe and Katherine is the first member of the bottom three. Sebastien joins Katherine in the bottom three, along with Amberly.

Ben asks to hear from the judges. “It’s not a matter of blood and guts, it’s a lack of experience and a lack of ability. They haven’t demonstrated the potential to win the show,” says Zack. “For Katherine, it was a question of maturity. For Sebastien, it was more about being Sebastien. I don’t know it’s a tough call,” says Farley.

Amberly is brought back to the couch and is announced safe. It’s down to Sebastien and Katherine. In a surprise ending, Sebastien is safe and Katherine St-Laurent is eliminated.

Only 8 remain on Canadian Idol and they’ll be going unplugged with next week’s performances with special guest mentor, Gavin Rossdale, next Monday at 9 p.m. EST.
