I’m used to gushing about Canadian Idol, but frankly this week’s episode was a little lacking for me. Even the star power of Canadian darling Anne Murray couldn’t save it!

But there was one shining light. That was Theo Tams.

When I heard he was taking on one of my favorite songs, “You Don’t Me,” I was thrilled. This beautiful ballad has been covered by everyone from Ray Charles to Michael Buble and yes, Anne Murray. Yet Theo managed to make the song his own.

It was a commanding performance, tender and romantic yet passionate and strong. In a word, wow. I don’t care what the judges say!

With my other favorite Idol Earl out of the running, I’m gunning for Theo to take home the title this year!
