From CanWest News Service:

• Golden boy voted off Canadian Idol
  It was a shocker of an elimination on Canadian Idol Tuesday night when Abbotsford, B.C., rocker and Idol judges’ favourite, Greg Neufeld, was voted off the show. “I was disappointed. I really wanted this to happen for me,” Neufeld said in an interview with CanWest News Service. “I’ve been dropped but I’ll come back and show them I can do it. The door is closed but it will open again.”

  It’s on to the top six for West Pubnico’s Dwight d’Eon, who learned Tuesday night that he is one of the half-dozen competitors still in the running to become the next Canadian Idol.

From Sun Media:

• ‘Canadian Idol’ down to six
  They all came out rockin’ – but Greg Neufeld was sent walkin’. Problem is, there’s no way the adorable 23-year-old Abbotsford house framer deserved to get booted off Canadian Idol Tuesday night. His take on Queen’s We Are the Champions was killer – along with just about everything else he’s done since he stepped onto the show in June.

• Canadian Idol Report: And Then There Were Six
  This week’s Canadian Idol results show kicked off with the audience filled with “We Will Rock You” glowsticks, while clips of Brian May and Roger Taylor’s appearance at last week’s performance of “We Will Rock You” filled the first ten minutes.

• Canadian Idol Update: We Will Mock You
  According to Ben Mulroney, BBC radio named Queen the Greatest British Band Of All Time earlier this year. What what what? Is the entire country high? Queen are great and everything, but name five Queen songs right now! OK, now name five songs by the Beatles and/or The Rolling Stones. Much easier, right? And way better songs overall.

The 23-year-old house framer from B.C., who was considered to be the front-runner in the competition by several odds-makers, becomes the first male to be eliminated from the Top 10 this season. Neufeld had never before appeared among the bottom group of competitors. Four male and two female competitors were left standing as Neufeld reprised his rendition, ironically, of Queen’s “We Are The Champions,” in front of a stunned studio audience.
