americanidolfan4life, here is the rundown of CI Season one contestants

Richie Wilcox (he was bald, weird but likeable, singing was forgettable, he was booted first)

Candida Clauseri (She sang "I Will Always Love You" during the semi-finals and that was a fluke performance that got her into the finals, then she sang "Power of Love" on the first night. It wasn't good and was booted on that night. She was the "Jasmine T.rias" - nice voice but can't do big diva songs)

Karen-Lee Batten (the most versatile of the contestants. She can sing slow jazz and easily switch to 80's rock. Booted too early. Canada got it wrong. She has the best track on the CI CD along with Toya and Jenny)

Mikey Bustos (aaaaaaaarrrrrrghhhh... I can't stand him at all. Another bald contestant with a tweeny fan base. When he sings, he overfeels the song that it looks pathetic. He sugarcoated every song he sang. )

Tyler Hamilton (this guy is creepy and looks 36 years old. He had this Fonzie look and wore tight leather pants. He sang "My Girl" on his last night and dressed the part. The judges didn't buy it, so did Canada. Booted along with Mikey.)

Toya Alexis (the diva of CI. She was the best vocally. She's like a Mariah/Whitney hybrid only better. Booted too early. )

Jenny Gear (quite possibly the most unique idol contestant ever. She's technically one of the best singers on CI. However, she looks mentally challenged when she sings. Her face twitches and contorts and slouches like a puppet on a string. Strangely, she's magical at the same time. She's a "love her or hate her" contestant. )

Audrey De Montigney (the sweet French girl. Her english is very limited so, Ben (the host) translates the judges' comments to her) She's Celine Dion lite. She's good with ballads. )

Billy Klippert (the albino . I didn't really care too much about him. He's a rocker so he mostly shouts his songs like a rockstar. Best performance was "Levon". The general public liked Billy. )

Gary Beals (ugh... he gospelizes the songs that he sings but with a lisp. The "s" sounds are turned to "th". Worst performance was on Motown Night. He was off-key the whole entire time. He should've gone long time ago but because of regional voting and not because of talent, he managed to make it to the final 2. )

Ryan Malcolm (originally, there should be 10 finalists for CI but the producers let him in because the vote between him and Toya during the wildcard round was so close. He can sing but he's not really impressive. He has a mediocre singing voice. And he tends to adlib the songs with "yeahs" like Fantasia. I don't like him but many Canadians do. )
