Kathryn Greenaway of the Montreal Gazette talks to Canadian Idol’s roving reporter, Dave Kerr:

• Montreal Idol
  “I watched both Canadian and American Idol a lot (over the years) and I think it gave me an edge,” he said. “I could talk about what I liked and what I could bring to the show. So, I guess my advice to the kids out there looking to break into the business is, watch as much television as you can.”

Tara Merrin of Sun Media talks Canadian Idol and the rest of the summer reality fare:

• ‘Canadian Idol’ kicks off
  “Tuesday night’s Idol premiere was jam-packed with these delusional offspring. There was the guy who smashed his guitar after being rejected and the one who threw a loonie in anger. That’ll show those judges.”
