Canadian Idol Performance Show, July 17 2006

I echo a comment made by Ben Mulroney here: playing with a full band made a huge difference in quality.

Considering Nelly Furtado's recent admission that she's bisexual, I'm surprised that Idol didn't consider her too racey for the show.

The performances on this show overall were above what I expected. Kati Durst still underwhelms me. I'm guessing she'll be eliminated tonight.
