This was the top 2 performance show for the crown of Canadian Idol of 2006; Eva Avila and Craig Sharp each performed three songs - they both did "Meant To Fly" (the Idol song for this year), and then each performed their favourite song from the season as well as one new one of their choice.
Eva was great on all three songs. She sang well, worked the camera well, and related to the audience. I didn't notice much difference between her take on the new Idol song and Craig's but I did think that hers was better, mostly because I could actually hear her singing.
Craig... well, hearing him sing was the problem. In two of his three songs, I couldn't hear him. He was drowned out by the band and the backup singers. I don't know why that would be; I imagine they do sound checks before the show, and try to get the levels right. Was he nervous and just not singing loudly enough? I don't know, but it definitely made my choice for who should win an easy one.
Eva should win. She was better during the season and definitely better last night.moreless
