Chad DoucetteUpdated Tue. Aug. 29 2006 11:33 PM ET Top 4 - Eliminated August 29 Age: 18 "To be doing what I am doing seems just unbelievable to me and I love the fact that I will get a chance to represent my family and friends in front of the entire country." Chad Doucette credits his family for instilling his tremendous drive and creating a focus for music in his life. "All credit should go back to them!" he says. "Without them I would not be the musically- oriented and hard working person that I am today." Having made the Top 48 previously on Canadian Idol in 2005, Chad was absolutely ecstatic about being selected to this year's Top 22. "I jumped and hugged and did whatever my body wanted to. It was a moment I will never forget." A Grade 12 student at Eastern Shore District High School, Chad is a grocery store clerk who hopes to study journalism in university. He channels his creativity by playing the piano and after writing his first song, Chad realized what he was capable of accomplishing. "The reactions I got from my friends and family were amazing." Chad would love to meet Johnny Cash. "He went through so much in his lifetime and I believe that he actually understands what a 'true' musician is," he says. However, he also feels that Kelly Clarkson is a perfect example of someone he can "idolize." "She used the competition as a stepping stone and always stayed true to herself in the end," he says. "I will always stay true to me and what I want to accomplish in music." Chad can be found eating his favourite food, pizza, while cheering on the Vancouver Canucks and Toronto Blue Jays. His favourite movie is Crash and his favourite TV series is 24. In addition to playing baseball, basketball, rugby and badminton, Chad likes to curl, golf and play tennis. Chad feels the song that best describes him is Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy." Canadian Idol Song List:
