Canadian Idol Kalan Porter's first single hits stores next week, and is already being played on radio stations across the country. But an Edmonton radio station is playing another version of the song -- not Porter's.

The song, Awake in a Dream, was written in advance for the winner of this year's Canadian Idol competition. Porter, of Medicine Hat, Alta., won the contest a couple of weeks ago.

In order to ensure the song could be released as soon as possible, BMG Canada had the top three finalists record the song.

So, in addition to Porter's version, there were recordings of Awake in a Dream  put to disc by Theresa Sokyrka of Saskatoon and Jacob Hoggard of Abbotsford, B.C.

The version done by Hoggard, who was wildly popular on the CTV show over the summer, somehow made it onto the Internet. An Edmonton radio station downloaded the song and has been playing it for listeners.

The station's deejay, known as B.J., defends airing of the bootleg.

"People who are Kalan fans are absolutely vehement that we shouldn't be playing Jacob's version of the song because Kalan is the Idol, it's his song don't play the Jacob version," B.J. told CFCN's Kirk Heuser. "And of course there are thousands of Jacob fans who are saying, thank you very much."

Because Hoggard's version was never supposed to be made public, BMG Canada is warning anyone who comes across it to destroy their copy. Canadian law forbids the distribution or broadcast of the song in any manner.

Hoggard issued a statement asking his fans to respect his wishes and stop distributing the song.
