Troy Scott VS Canadian Idol
Well the Canadian Idol Auditions took place over the weekend at Portage Place... and I was there too (in neutral gang colors) however the real show wasn't seen at all. Last Friday, the Idol crew staged something called "Media Idol" @ CKY/CTV Studios in Polo Park - all media outlets were invited down to 'experience what Idol hopeful goes thru" in front of the Judges and everything! Now I'm no singer. In fact NO ONE in the media is a good singer. However in the spirit of charity I took a shot at it. Now... what to sing... Well it came to me pretty easy. The Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers theme song! (plus it was the only song I knew all the words to... well okay maybe not...Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Talespin, OKAY any song from the Disney Afternoon was up for singing) I belted it out and got a ton of laughs from everyone (thank god) and then got a bit of a blast from Simon...err Zack - yeah that's it: "I really want to thank you for being so annoying, " he told me after I had a comedic style but no way could I sing. I agreed. But MAN did it feel great singing that SONG! Thanks to everyone who came out to Portage Place and told me they liked my choice of toon too! Heh. Tune...Toon...

In the end SHAW TV took the Media Idol crown and by crown I mean a over sized novelty $1000 cheque from CTV. The one thing I was surprised by was - how many of the other media people took it so seriously! One girl from 100.7 FM froze completely and almost ran for it... she should have - now that would have been funny.

I also got a chance to interview Mr. Orange himself - Ben Mulroney. He told me his tan was from L.A. I was thinking more like San Fran's Golden Gate Bridge... He's the SAME COLOR!!! If you didn't hear it on Q my interview with Ben will be on Speakfreewithjb.com soon.
