Seven Remain as Sebastian Pigott Eliminated from Canadian Idol

From a media release:

  • Tom Jones to Mentor and Perform Next Week

Toronto’s Sebastian Pigott is the latest competitor to be eliminated from Canadian Idol, it was revealed live on CTV tonight. The 25-year-old singer, actor and writer goes home after landing in the Bottom Three for the third week in a row. Seven singers remain to perform in next week’s “U.K. Hits” episode, featuring previously confirmed guest star Tom Jones. The superstar will mentor the Top 7 for the Performance Episode airing Monday, August 4 at 9 p.m. ET and then perform live on the Canadian Idol stage the following night, Tuesday, August 5 at 8 p.m. ET (visit idol.ctv.ca to confirm local broadcast times).

After singing and playing harmonica to his version of Little Richard’s “Lucille” for last night’s “Unplugged” episode, Pigott received the fewest of 2.3 million votes cast.

Fellow Torontonian Mookie Morris, 18, made his second trip to the Bottom Three while Newfoundland’s Mark Day, 20, was one of the three competitors with the fewest votes for the first time.
