Canadian Idol revisited Matt Good this time

So tonight we heard Apparitions by Matt Good followed by NWL The Grace. Although no one could match Matt live acoustic, he was pretty good. The Grace had some nice parts.
I know there has been a tremendous amount of discussion around the Idol franchise, BUT I believe that this season of Canadian Idol might just surprise a few people. There has been much said about the Idol packaging of people to sell them as opposed to any talent, but this season is mostly comprised of seasoned musicians. As a result i believe that this group is much less relenting to the pressures to develop an Idol brand.
Most of the musicians play instruments when performing and have their own style. There is a fair number of seriously cool musicians on the show and if you were ever feeling inclined to watch, this would be the time to do it, by the time that Canadian teenagers have whittled it down to a top 10 I am sure the funky factor will be voted out in favor for more mass appeal. I believe that Annabelle will win it because she has the whole package and comes across as a seasoned professional. It is unfortunate that her brand is more in line with Anne Murray. She is beautiful and a fierce athlete and a strict Mennonite to boot??? Only in Canada.
