Hey all,

So....this is it. The final blog before the finale. Intennnnse stuff. I don't think I have ever been more nervous or anxious or excited. It's just an unbelievably overwhelming feeling.

First and foremost I need to thank each and every one of you for making this experience an unforgettable one. Thanks for all of the support and for spending countless hours voting and getting me to this point.

Regardless of the end result, I owe each and every one of the fans a huge thank you.

Second, you are all in for an amazing showdown on Monday night. Right now we are in the middle of rehearsals and I am just getting so excited for the show. I honestly don't think I have ever heard Mitch sound this great, his songs are all unbelievably stunning. Mine are definitely coming along as well, so it'll be a show to remember I'm sure.

Working with John Legend was also an experience. He is so talented and definitely knows a completely different side of the business considering how he is first and foremost a producer and has worked with amazing acts like Lauryn Hill and Kanye West. It was so interesting to take his advice as a producer AND an artist. He really hears things on a completely different level and gave me some great advice for my songs. Sometimes criticism is hard to take- especially when you feel as though you have put your whole heart and soul into a song- but I suppose it is one of the most important things to learn about this business- and that there is so much more to being an artist than being able to SING.

Also considering how this is my last blog- I thought that I would take the opportunity to tell you a little about Mitch- from my point of view.

It's so funny because I remember telling my parents after the first top 24 show that I thought Mitch was going to win. There really is something undeniably genuine about this guy. It has just been such an honor to be in the finals with him. We are really different people- I'm constantly stressed and nervous, and Mitch is usually pretty chill and relaxed.

Opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of stress management. However, in terms of musicality. I have not met anyone who lives and breathes music the way Mitch does- it is in his bones. So regardless of who wins this year, I believe that Canada can't go wrong because we are both willing to work really hard, stay creative, and above all stay true to ourselves as artists and as people.

I just can't believe that this whole experience is going to be over soon.

It has been my life for 3 months now, and it's just bizarre that I've made it this far. I really didn't think it would happen, and now that it has I know I want it so bad. Thanks to everyone who truly believes that I am the next Canadian Idol- your confidence in me just inspires me to work harder, sing harder, dream harder, and love harder.

All the best,

All for now,

Lots of love,

Theodore

Hey Everyone,

First of all, thanks for getting me into the top 3. I can't believe it!

I realize with each passing day - how much I want this and how much I am willing to work to achieve it. I said from day one, that I was in this for the long run, and didn't want to go home before I was ready to leave. I have now realized that I will never be ready...I want to win. Not just for winnings sake but to prove all of those people in my life wrong - those who made me feel as though I couldn't win - or wouldn't win. I think that one of those people was me. I don't really think I ever believed that I could make it in the industry - I'm a little bit naive sometimes - so I tend to sell myself short. Being in this competition has taught me so much about myself- including the ability to just trust my instincts and run with what I truly feel in my heart and soul.

Speaking of trusting instincts, this week is going to be a fun time. I think I chose two really great songs. I've performed the one quite a lot as it is part of my set when I do shows back at home - but being able to play it with a full band just made it all the more beautiful. I loooooove string players. Haha. I find that strings just add such a depth of dynamic to a song- and the string players for Idol are seriously brilliant musicians.

Wooooah- I just rambled up a storm here eh!?

Lots of love to everyone in the fangroup- dream hard, love harder...

Lots of love,

Final Three has been so amazing and rewarding so thank-you :)

Going home was madness- but in a very good way. I was actually pretty nervous about going home, being on the show has kind of kept me in a bubble, we are just so busy all the time so I haven't really had the time to just reflect on the experience at all. When I went home, and was singing in front of thousands of hometown fans, it really made me realize just how far I've come since the beginning.

Almost 10,000 people auditioned for this season of Idol, and now we are down to four. I can't believe it! Just to share the stage with such talent as Earl, Drew, and Mitch blows my mind, and is such an honor.

I am pretty nervous for this week. I've been battling a bad throat infection and I'm pretty swollen but I'm just going to have to push through it I guess eh!?

I picked a couple really great songs this week. They both mean a lot to me, and are completely different than each other so I really hope that you all dig it!!

I can't believe that in just over 2 weeks we are going to have a winner of this show. It's soooo bizarrrrrre. Really though, going home just made me realize how much I want this. I want to take the title- and I want to make music for the rest of my life. Being a part of this show has really taught me to move freely with the ups and downs of the business but one thing that has never wavered is how much I really believe that this is what I am meant to do.

Thank you so much to all of the fans for wanting this for me too!

Dream Hard,
Love Harder,

To quote one of my favorite songs by Jann Arden, "It ain't about the singer, it's the song"

All my love,
ttt


Top 5

Hey Everyone,

Well, what a crazy shock it was to see Amberly go. I really felt as though she was going to go all the way- and I really miss her already. I don't think I have ever gotten as close to someone in such a short amount of time, and I cherish her friendship a lot. Ah, but regardless of what happens, we will all be hanging out again in a few short weeks for the finale.

This week has proven to be one of the hardest for me. I kind of feel a little bit isolated. It's a strange feeling. I am trying my best to take all of this nervous and anxious energy, and channel it into the Beatles this week. What another daunting task, doing a Beatles song! It's judges' choice to so there is a definite amount of extra added pressure.

I just wanted to also say thank you to all the fans- people who have spent the two hours voting, I owe being here to you- and I appreciate it greatly.

Special thanks to the girls running my fanclub- all the members, and to Puff Mcleod for not only taking a stand for me as a musician and performer, but as a person.

I appreciate it greatly- and I can truly say that my fans are incredible.

Lots of love,

ttt


Top 6

Hey Everyone,

Wow, being in the bottom three is definitely not a fun place to be standing. I have so much more respect for all those competitors from past seasons who were able to do it with so much dignity and grace.

It was fun being out there on the stage though- trying something new is always pretty hard the first time- but I hope (as Sir Tom Jones said) that it just gets easier with time and experience.

Saying good-bye to Mark Day was a tough thing to do. We got pretty close out here, and I'll miss him a lot. He was always the person to keep people smiling and laughing, and his energy is definitely going to be missed.

I'm excited for this week too, I am going to take things back to the piano- but try to keep the performance aspect in mind as well. It's going to be a really fun time, and I'm stoked to be able to incorporate the piano again.
I've also been writing a lot of music lately, last night I stayed up and played the piano till about 3:30am and got a good start on about three new songs.

It feels so good to finally be inspired to write something again, I've had writers block for a good 6 months now or so, and it seriously just feels amaaaazing!

Lots of Love Everyone,
Dream Hard,
Love Harder,

Theo


Top 7

Hellooooooooo everyone,

Thanks again for checking in- I appreciate it. This past week has been a really fun time- yesterday we did MTV Cribs, and that was a blast. Ben Mulroney is seriously one of the funniest cats I've ever met, he is such a character, but really down to earth too.

As for this week, I'm not so sure how the UK POP Hits night is going to go down. I'm planning on doing a song that is really out of my element - but I think that that is a good thing. I've actually been thinking about that a lot lately - and I think part of my "problem" in this competition is that my priority has been a little skewed. When I first came into the competition, I thought it was very important to defend who you are as an artist and to begin to define who you are and what you're about on stage.
I think that this is a good thing - to a point. Because if you're so focused on defining what type of artist you already are, you may end up being a little blind to the artist you CAN be.

This is my inspiration going into the UK POP Hits week, there is a side to me that I really haven't shown on the show as of yet, a stronger, don't mess with me type of guy - haha. Everything that I have sung up until now has been really passive and vulnerable, and I really want to take the reigns this week and prove that I have a FIRE to win this - I know now more than anything that this is what I want, and I really want this week to be a turning point for me as an artist and as a performer.

Also, we get to meet Tom Jones this week? Are you kiddddddding me? This guy is a legend and it's going to be such an honor to work with him, and be able to bounce ideas off of him - I'm still kind of in shock that he is going to be here tomorrow, it's going to be insane.

Alright y'all, well I need to submit this and get up to my workshop with Byrd and Mark Lalama, so I'll write again next week.

Thanks again for coming along on this amazing journey,


Lots of love,
T.


Top 8

Hey everyone,

Ahhhh, this week has been really intense. I'm so stoked for the show tomorrow night, but I'm really nervous this week as well. It seems as though the last 6 weeks have just flown by, and the week (or weeks) to come will go by just as fast. Sometimes it's so hard to just slow myself down and allow myself to take it all in.

I've been writing a lot of lyrics lately- just sporadically really- in my journal. I'm really excited to put some of them to music in the next little while. Mostly just about my experience here thus far, and the ups and downs that come with it.

I didn't realize how hard this was going to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm having a friggin' blast, but being away from your support group of family and friends for so long is really starting to take its toll on me. I'm doing everything I can right now to just stay mentally checked in to the competition but the past few days I have found it really hard.

Wooooah, alright already, enough negativity eh? Haha. Thanks again for being interested in my journey on Idol so far, and for coming along on all the ups and downs with me! All my fans (it's so weird to think that I even HAVE fans) have been a fantastic support and I really do feel as though even though I don't have my family and friends out here with me- I have a great support group out there and that's because of people like YOU.

Thanks Again,

One day at a time,
ttt


Top 9

Hey everyone,

This past week has been intense - for a number of reasons. I think one of my biggest struggles throughout the competition thus far has been song choice - I definitely want to impress the judges - but also make sure that I am singing songs that represent who I am as an artist. Singing a Bob Marley tune was such an honour, I have looked up to him as a musician and a person since I was young, but it proved to be a really tough challenge for me; trying to put myself in his head space when he wrote No Woman No Cry was so hard - but with the help of Byrd (the amazing vocal coach here) I was able to find something that helped me bring out a story - and really that is what music is all about in the end anyways.

Also, I would just like to say thank you all so much for the continued support. The reason why I have even made it this far is because of people like you who are interested in my music, and the stories that I am interested in telling....this means so much to me and I know that regardless of the outcome of this show - I have learned and grown so much not only as a musician but as a person - and I thank each and every one of you for that time that I have had here. Hopefully there will be more days (and weeks) to come.

Dream Big,

Love Hard,

Theo.


Top 10

Hey everyone. First off, thanks for all the support thus far, you have all had a hand in getting me to the Top 10 and for this experience, I am truly grateful. Life here is craaaazy and busy but it has been a ride and I am loving every minute of it. Friendships for life, definitely!

The stress can get to me sometimes but I'm doing my best to just keep my head on straight. Knowing that I have such amazing support from my family, friends and fans makes everything worthwhile. So thank you! Dream Big. Love Hard.

Jonathan Arnold
Hey Theo! Your performances have been great so far, keep it up!
I know you always pick great songs, but my friend had some song suggestions for you and he put them in a poll. That way, you can see which songs your fans on this site want you to sing the most! If any of these songs represent who you are as an artist, I hope you will sing one if you get the chance. Here is a link to the poll: http://ctvforum.insinc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65465

Your performance last week was awesome. I don't usually watch Canadian or American - I was just flipping channels and it was a choice between an episode of Family Guy that I have seen a million times (you know.. the one where Meg kisses Neil..anyway I'm rambling)and Canadian idol.. and you sounded really good!!

I clapped for you in my living room and then felt stupid after!

Oh well I don't know if you actually read this stuff anyway.. but if you do.. good job!!!

ciao ciao!

Hello Theo!! I have no idea if your going to see this, but im gonna write it anyways! First of all i just wanna say how amazing you are. In my perspective you are the best canadian idol EVER on the show and nobody's vocals have ever compared yours and nobody has ever shows such heart and soul as you do when you perform. You are so truly talented and i cant wait till you >WIN< because i know your going too. I really wish I had the chance to see you perform but i've been searching everywhere to find tickets but all nights are sold out :( it would have been amazing to actually be there to cheer you on, but ill have to wait till your a huge star! Anyways I wish you SOOOO much luck and ill be cheering for you at home every week!

Louise Martel
Theo, Theo, Theo...this is my first season watching Canadian Idol, and OMG !!!!, Theo, I can not believe the natural talent you have, you are the ONLY idol contestant I vote for, because to me, there is no other IDOL than you my friend.

Hey Theo,
you don't know who i am, but i know your cousin Jessi Postma and i think he is an awesome guy. I just wanted to see how you are doing to support you for jessi.



Jo
A-maz-ing! You are incredible. I would so love to see you in concert. You have a wonderful voice, so true and heartfelt. You will be a success no matter what happens and I am glad for Cdn. Idol if for no other reason than to introduce you to all of us.



Franco
Dear Theo,

It is worth tuning into a show like Canadian Idol, week after week especially, when it showcases someone as talented as you.

Listening to you sing is an awesome experience.

No matter what happens at this point, I would not be wrong in saying you are a star.

Keep doing what you do best "sing".










Susie F McCreary MB
Hey Theo!!

Great job on the show!! Your voice is AMAZING! I don't know if you actually read the comments but if you do i just wanted good job and good luck in the future i know that no matter what we will be hearing from Theo Tams again. Just a little BTW I was the one that wrote the poem: Canadian Idol 2008. That was included in the binder of the "theo Fan project"!! I hope you enjoyed it!! well can't wait till monday night to hear you sing!! :D



Judy
Theo,

Right from your first performance as a member of the Top 22, you have performed with the ease and expression of a well-honed singer/musician. My favourite performances of yours are when you play the piano and meld together as one. Having said that, I've enjoyed all your perfomances immensely. I wish you every success as you follow this path and look forward to buying your first CD when it comes out.

Stay strong and keep entrancing us with your heartfelt performances.




kat
Theo,

Graydon - Lethbridge AB
Hey Theo! Who would have thought a camp counselor would have made it to the top 8. We all knew you had what it takes to be a great performer and have fun doing what you do. I can't wait to buy your star CD when you win Canadian Idol.



Kristin
You have such a gift. Every time you sing I get goosebumbs! Good luck in the competition.



Gwen
Theo your awesome and we support you 100 per cent we live on the West side and just love your billboard and every Monday night we vote for you keep up the awesome work and it,s one week at a time love the Rowley Family



Alyssa
Theo,
Just taking a break from voting for you now so I can type this!
Wow, never knew they had blogs here.. sweet!
First I want to say you've been a great inspiration to me. I've been really working on my singing!
You are an amazing performer, and I really liked the side of you that you were able to show us tonite, you were amazing! You have such a presence about you, and an awesome personality! I really hope you win, I've been voting for you all the way. Best of luck tomorrow, and in the weeks folowing. We love you! Keep on singing!



Myrna
Dear Theo,

You had me..... on the first note you sung.... You had me even more when you sang Collide and Weak on your knees. You are awesome! You are the REAL DEAL Buddy! More power to you and I wish and sincerely hope you will be the CANADIAN IDOL 6. Keep up your wonderful singing and you will always have me........mesmerized

Love yah,

Myrna

Jillian
Any label that doesn't sign you is just plain stupid(believe me when I say that this is a comment I don't give to too many people) By the way loved Weak in the Knees. This week was pretty good too. Keep up the good work. I'm a singer-songwriter myself and I cannot live without my journal in case of inspiration.



Kim
Hey Theo,
I would just like to take a second to tell you how incredible you are - "Weak In The Knees"...WOW, is all I can say - that has to be my favorite Canadian Idol performance ever. I loved that song before, but I love the Theo version even more. The judges made the right choice when they chose you to move forward. One more thing before I go...when you're feeling down and struggling with being away from your family and friends, remind yourself that you're doing something that you love, and with each performance all of the heart and feeling you exude...it touches all of the people you love and that love you in return. They're with you - even if they aren't right there.
We're so lucky to have you in this competition.
Keep Singing...Kim



Zeina
Hey, buddy!

You rocked the house last night (Top 7). My jaw hit the floor. You are awesome, and will go far no matter what.



Gretchen Hatton
Theo,
I almost freaked when you were in the bottom 3. Something is wrong in Canada if they put you there!!! I'm watching from Florida and love Canadian Idol. Best wishes Theo, you deserve to be the next Canadian Idol.
All the best,
Gretchen Hatton



joelle
hi theo!!you are my favorite on canadian idol!!i love your voice!!and i think you are going to win,keep up the great work!!!!!



J-S
You did awesome on UK POP hits night Theo! You totally rocked it and "took the reigns". As for being in the bottom 3 people probably though you were a sure thing and voted less for you. But I think that this week's scare will make people vote even more for you. Keep up the hard work!
You are definitely taking this seriously and we enjoy your talent and risk taking this week!
It was excellent!



Rebecca
I have NEVER bothered voting for a contestant ... until last week when I voted for you. It seems that I should have "bothered" this week too. I will definitely be voting next week.



Amy
Theo,
you have an amazing voice, when you sang BUBBLY, i loved every minute of it !
i hope you win idol this season ! : D
and if you do, i will def. come watch you when you guys come to Halifa NS for your tour : )



Dean
Theo!

You have Coaldale's support 110%!! There are posters all over the place and you're in the Lethbridge Herald after every show!!

That bottom 3 result was not reflective of how you sang at all! I guess you just have to blow the doors off the top six this week!!

The night you sang "no woman, no cry", I was wearing my Bob Marley shirt (no lie)! Coincidence???

Dean
Coaldale, AB



Deb
He is not going to win unless you vote for him. Don't assume he is going to win, he was in the bottom three tonite because people probably just assume he is going to win and they don't vote. I have three words to say VOTE VOTE VOTE.



Stephanie Dunsdon, Coaldale
OK, I'll admit, I never watched Canadian Idol until there was a local in it.

And I'll also admit, you're pretty damn talented!

You rock my socks off!



Emily
Theo!! You're a great singer and I'll support you all the way. The songs you do (especially the songs you do when you play the piano) are really touching. I love it. I especially loved your performance of Collide. It was my favourite. Keep up the good job and I know you'll go all the way because you have the talent in you and you'll soar high in the sky!
I always be cheering for you!!



Alyssa
Theo,
Hi again! I realized there were things I wanted to say that I missed before!
I love your falsetto, I wish I could hear it more. But I guess the songs you've been picking haven't allowed that, and I'm sure you're picking the right songs. I've enjoyed them!
I also wanted to sympathise with you. I understand what its like to miss family and friends, I was away from everyone I knew for a week, and even tho the people I was with were great, I really missed familiar faces. But under the circumstances, I think this is a price you're willing to pay!
Love ya lots, keep on singing!
-Alyssa
P.S. I loved the treble cleff sweater you wore!



paul noubarian
Theo,
I've seen a lot of big name acts and 2 things seperate the best from the rest as I see it. One is Talent and the other is their ability to connect with the audience. You possess both in spades. You're young and you're this good... It's scary to think of what you may be capable of. In my opinion you have a rare gift and I'm excited to see where you take it.

Bon Voyage



Sue J
Hey Southpaw!

So great to see you've made it through another week, although this one was definitely a nail-biter. My heart was in my throat when Ben said you were in the Bottom 3. What was Canada thinking? How could they let a talent like you almost slip through their grasp?

It's been years since I've enjoyed a season of Idol like I am this one, and you are the main reason for that. Your voice is simply incredible, and each week when I think I can't be any more amazed by you, you take it up to a new level and just floor me all over again. Heck, you've got me actually looking forward to Mondays now!! :)

You are an undeniable talent, and whether you win or not (of course I hope you DO!), I am so happy that you have given so many of us the chance and the extrme pleasure of hearing you sing. You deserve to go far!

So thank you, Theo, for bringing us such beautiful music each and every week. And thank you, Canadian Idol, for giving so many of us an opportunity to "discover" such an awesome singer and songerwriter as Theo!

Cheers, and good luck!

Sue J

Jillian(Earl's singer-songwriter cousin)
I was shocked when you were told that you were in the bottom 3, I wasn't too surprised about Earl(though he is absolutely awesome and my cousin). But you were definitely not supposed to be there. By the way keep on amazing everyone next week.



Lindsay I
THEO!
Man you are soo cool. When you did Serena Ryder it was amazingly emotional and soo beautiful. I'm getting worried about auditioning because I will never be able to top this season!
I don't need to tell you to keep being GREAT. :D



yjp
I'm not one who normally does things like this but when we missed the Top 8 week of the show and watched your performance on the CTV website (outstanding as usual) we found your blog. My son sent you a message wishing you well and after your Top 7 performance (dynamite!) I felt compelled to write as well. You are the sure thing, and will go far in whatever you do. Keep up the good work! And for all the Canadian Idol viewers and Theo Tams fans...VOTE...VOTE...VOTE! Pay attention to what the judges are saying...Theo deserves to make it to #1! Theo...keep smiling! You've touched the hearts of all Canadians.



Rachel
Theo,
You are amazing! You are a very talented musician and singer. I am hoping that you will be the next Canadian Idol. You deserve it.
Best of luck,
Rachel J.



Victoria
Wow..I don't know what to say..you are one awesome guy and I know you will go a VERY long way on Canadian Idol!



Mandy Miles
Theo you are amazing and should not have been in the bottom three.The reason is people see how good you are and figure everyone else is going to vote for you so they figure their one vote won't matter.Now that all your fans see how important it is to vote,you don't have to worry about the bottom three again.
And to Dorothy Lowe,Theo does have a cd out,just go to his Myspace and it will tell you how to get it and you can listen to three of his songs,they are awesome.



Geoffrey
Hey Theo,
UK Pop went very well for you, but then again I think you can do just about any type of music, you are such a talent, I totally enjoy you every week. In my eyes you are our CI. Keep it mixed up Theo as its wonderful to see your many facets. Regardless of the outcome, keep performing I am loving it. Go Theo Go



Liisa S
Three words, Theo: W. O. W. "Extra Extra read all about it, Canada's Own Theo Tam Can SING". I don't watch IDOL, and haven't watched it in the past couple of years... but I thought I would follow this year's. Am I glad I did. Theres only one reason why I don't (usually) watch Idol. Thats simply because we dont get to see the artists that CAN sing Opera, classical, broadway and beyond. I think a performer has to be able to sing THAT way before they can be able to sing another kind of music. Great job, I'll be rooting for you!

Hi Theo,
What I like best about you is that you are unique. Like you don't remind us of Mike Jagger or Joan Baez or whoever... You are new, new, new... I like your wacky hair, that is enough to make you look cool (I think you over do it on the accessories). Keep it simple... I would love to see you in close fitting jeans and tee singing a sentimental tune... LOL You might just discover your 'sexy' edge. LOL All the best Theo! Love.



Karen from Manitoba
Theo -
Your voice may be the richest thing I've ever heard. I love everything you sing and am certain that whether or not you win, you're going to be a star. God Bless.



sam
Hey, Theo, I really, really liked what you did monday night (Tom Jones night). As a guy I liked how you manned it up, dude. Yeah, you were getting a bit unicorns and rainbows for me, though the women obviously love it.
I liked No Woman No Cry a lot too. Good luck.



Karin
Hey Theo,

You are INCREDIBLY talented! My 3 kids & I just love watching you perform. You really are in a league of your own and you leave us just going "Wow" with every performance. You're going all the way man, regardless of if you're the next Canadian Idol or not and we can't wait to buy your CD's! You're the best singer we've heard in a really long time! Keep it up Theo! You've been a blessing and encouragement to all of us!



Roberta
Theo, I was so surprised to see you on the bottom three on Tuesday ! My heart stopped. You did not deserve to be there. Dont worry, I know you are going to go far. You are such a talent. Your fans are here supporting and voting for you. I am sure your family and friends are with you in spirt, always.. Cannot wait to see you on Monday !
Roberta

Hey Theo,

Cam and I are watching you every Monday night, and we keep our fingers crossed for you on Tuesdays. I think I racked up my phone bill just from voting, but its totally worth it!

Looking forward to you getting out and submitting your first full Album. I'm going to listen to it until it breaks X-D

Lots of Love,

Congratulations to all of the Top 10 competitors that have done Canada proud and to the remaining competitors that continue to surprise and entertain Canada every week.

I was just wondering if any of the remaining weeks will include a night of original tunes/lyrics written by the individual remaining competitors? I think it would be awesome to hear what kind of orignal artists these talented people really are and to let them show Canada what they are really made of!

Oh, and Theo, be true to who you are ~ heart, soul and mind! You truly are a rare gem.



dm
I am sooooo hoping you win, Theo, but even if you don't, I am looking forward to buying the many cd's that you are going to record. You are not only the best CI, but an amazing artist, who could easily compete in the music industry, here and abroad.
I wish they wouldn't have cut your hair! You looked funky,cool, and original, and oh, oh, so sexy!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you!






kayla
hi Theo,

i really like your singing especially when you did sweet ones, it was really good.



keep singing!
Kayla



Shannon
Dear Theo,

We are behind you all the way..right from the very beginning. From the very first performance, I could almost smell your talent and flair! What does that smell like? Hmmm...freshly cut grass maybe? See you at the TOP!!!!



Dana - Grande Prairie, AB
Dear Theo,

You are, by far, my favourite competitor Canadian Idol has ever had. You had my votes from the very beginning. I play piano as well, so you're really an inspiration!

I love watching you and all your performances (there is something about the way you perform that is absolutely captivating), though my favourite so far has to be "Collide". It was absolutely beautiful and full of heart, and I listen to it every day.

I couldn't believe it when you were in the bottom three. I was so mad that I threw the pillow I was holding across the room. Haha. I had voted as much as I could. I was SO nervous when Ben was giving the results. What would Canadian Idol be without you?

Theo, your talent is pure and impeccable, and your personality is completely loveable (you seem like such a nice guy!) Always remember that there are so many people who are rooting for you, and who will be there for you no matter what happens in this competition.

Congratulations so far and best wishes in the future.



Sarah McAuley
Theo,

I think that you have amazing talent. You're one of the best and have remained that way throughout the entire show. I just LOVED when you sang Apologize. You're got a pretty good deal, you're young, talented and good-looking. Plus, you've accomplished so much already. You seem like an amazing person!!



Alyssa
I don't know if you'll even read this but...
Theo,
You're voice is amazing, and I love your falsetto! You can also perform, whether it's behind the piano, or standing on the stage. I thought your whole performance this week was extremely creative, although I wasn't a big fan of the haircut (your style IS part of the performance I think).
Just make sure whatever you do, it's because YOU want to.
Keep on trucking, no matter what obstacles come your way (like, say, some of the people you were closest to on the show being voted off). We know you can do this!

-Alyssa

Darryl A.
Hey Theo
you and Mark are my favourites. you guys do such a great job week in and week out. i feel bad too that Mark got the boot a couple weeks ago. you all look like you are having such a good time despite the competition part of it all. singer song writer here as well. would love you to hear some of my stuff. check it out and you can leave me a note. www.myspace.com/reckoningacoustic good luck in the coming weeks



kate
Glad to hear you've kicked the writer's block. Keep creating. We vote madly for you.



Jillian
I hear you with the writers block. I just got over a 3 month case. Songwriting is my way way of venting out my emotions and actually I wrote a song while out for supper in a Chinese restaurant last night and by the way you signed my songbook on Monday. I'm one of Earl's cousins that was there this week.



Beth
theo...
man this top 5 is intense everyone is amazing.
kudos on Sarah sleen i didn't think you could get better after picking Howie day.
I met him once
i don't know if you know this artist but he opened for my inspiration herself Tori Amos, it was before his radio debut the first id ever herd of him, love the boy...
anyway

Rachel J
You really deserve to still be here Theo. I know you're upset about Amberly, but remember, you earned you way here! So, keep being fantastic!
Good Luck!

Leanna Sarome
Keep up the great work Theo
u r awesome

Tabitha Schaub
Theo my darling. haha. I miss you so much. I missed seeing you perform in Lethbridge and I missed our late night Humpty's excursions and all the hilarity that they brought.
Every Tuesday and Wednesday I get numerous emails from the people I work with all raving about your performance and their views on the eliminations and I realize how extremely blessed I am to have known you.
Keep doing what you are doing, you are so talented and your voice is brilliant. You will go far in all your future endeavours.

Call me sometime!!! lol. Lots of love and hugs. Miss you terribly.



Jonathon Whitehead
Hey Theo

Your doing wicked i was your roomate down in Toronto.I was the army guy, Cpl Whitehead, Keep up the good work, and remember all the small guys when you win...lol.. Howy Day Collide...awesome tune... you will just have to out perform Mookie and its all yours buddy! GOOD LUCK




Paul St.John's , NL
Hey Theo,
Your a Pro without guestion, an ELTON JOHN in the making.
Your CD's would fly off the shelves now.



WBall
Theo:

I feel you are really talented and way beyond the next Canadian Idol! I feel that you could be Canadas' Elton John. I would love to hear you sing Candles in the Wind and my friend and I both would like to hear you sing Hallejluiah - I prefer KD Langs version when she was with Elton John. Best of luck and if for some reason you are not picked as the next "idol" I am sure you will receive a recording contract and I would like to see you record both the songs mentioned. OH, and I don't recall seeing Elton John leave his piano during his performances so if you're comfortable there than be true to yourself and stay there!



caitlin anne <3
THEO I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!! YOU ARE AMAZIN'!!!!!!!!



Cornelis Vrijhof
Hey Theo, I wish you all the best! We can see you here in Holland. If i could vote, i voted for you!!

Good Luck!

Cees Vrijhof.



Sarah
THEO!!! u r amazing. your talent is just undeniable and i hope that u win Canadian idol. i think that u r also the best singer i have ever seen on Canadian idol and without a doubt u really deserve to win



Kathleen from Victoria, BC
Theo, get some advice from Earl about Breakfast--it is a very important meal and you need stamina in order to win the whole thing.

We've watched you from the audition stage and continue to be impressed. Break a leg with Beatles night. You can count on at least 600 votes from our phone.



Laura - Victoria, B.C.
Hey Theo--

Break a leg tomorrow!

I've watched other seasons of Canadian Idol with a more casual interest, but this is the first year that I really look forward to Mondays. I love watching you perform: you've got an amazing voice, and you always pick such killer songs. Serena Ryder is one of my favourite artists, and the way you performed her song was breathtaking. You have such an amazing voice, and I'm always awed at the way that you're able to express emotions.

I'm definitely hoping you win, and remember to take care of yourself in the meantime!



c-man
I think everyone made it pretty clear that YOU ROCK!!
best of wishes!



Cathy
THEO YOU DID IT!!!!

You stayed true to yourself and you succeeded! I knew you would!

I have had the pleasure and the honour to listen to some of your original songs and I have to say that they are fantastic and heartfelt.

I can sympathize with your isolated feelings. I'm sure it's difficult and unnerving to watch all of your new found friends go home each week. But you know you will be seeing them all again soon.

My advice again is to stay true to yourself - heart, soul and mind. Also, stay focused and you will be living your dream!



Reese
It sounds like a couple of you guys are getting down about some stuff. I just want you to know that we really are rooting for you and you've got the support of the country. The next few weeks are just the means to an end.

Good luck. I'll be voting.



KB for British Columbia
Theo, your performance on Beatles night was amazing; however, you looked sad. We keep voting for you furiously: your talent is huge. I hope this experience isn't unhappy for you. You provide us with so much joy.



Kyla
Hey theo, i was just reading about you and noticed you volunteered at an orphanage in India. I was wondering what program you went with!! ? thanx



Kaylee
Hi THEO

I am 9 years old and live in lethbridge alberta. I watch canadian idol every week.I think you are a awesome singer and hope you win canadian idol.We vote for you every week.The parade was today and you had posters and banners supporting you.Our city is very proud of you. Who would you say is your favorite singer and favorite style of music? Good Luck to you!



Tasha
Theo,
I just want to say what an inspiration it is to see a classically trained artist on CI. I've always wanted to try out, but I've never been sure that I had the "right voice or style". You have seriously inspired me with your talent and ability to connect to pretty much about everyone.
Thanks so much!
Tasha



Mandy Albert
Hey Theo!!

I just wanna say my mom and I are huge fans of yours. You have such an amazing voice. We were wondering if you had the chance to, would you sing and play Piano Man? You have the voice and the piano talent for it. We think it would be so amazing! Just something to keep in mind. lol

Lots of luv and wishing you lots of luck and success through the show and your music career!!

I'm glad to see some keys and not just strings in the top 5.
How about some more Canadiana music. What do you think of Gowan?



alli
theo
you are incredible, amazing, superior, and all the other great words in the dictionary. You are a very (x10000000000000000) talented singer. i went to canyon church camp in 2007 when you were there and knew even then that you would do great in the music world. i hope that your canadian idol experience turns out to be a good one. even though i know it will. im rooting for you in lethbridge. Yahhh Theo!
Love, alli



Christine Saltspring Island, BC
Theo, you are on your way! I thought the Beatles night could have been better if the band wasn't so over-powering. It felt like we couldn't focus on YOU which is what we love to do. You give us all goosebumps, especially "sweet ones".....wow. Also you look handsome with your new haircut but I would prefer you to grow it out again, the longer hair completes you, gives you more character and adorability! I hope you go international and get hooked up with the right people(if that is where your heart is) Have no fear my friend you've got the whole package, thanks for sharing it with us.



Ann Marie
Hello from Lethbridge Theo. We are very proud of you! Every week I watch you I see a young Elton John or Billie Joel. You truly are the piano man. I wish you had the opportunity to sing one of their songs.

Win or lose, please know you have won our hearts.



Dallas Tenn
Dear Theo <3,

You Are Absoloutly Incredible!!!

Good Luck And Keep Doing What Your Doing <3

I'm Behind You Every Step Of The Way<3

Love,

Patrick
Theo:
Basically what i had to say has been said by other fans. In my opinion you HAVE won,and when on any stage anywhere you will own it.
A guy that takes time to volunteer at an orphanage in India and continues to bring down the house week after week with brilliant performances is a Canadian Idol.
I know its hard to see your new Idol family leave one buy one,but they will remain. Man ,just think of the number of Canadians that love you. (hundreds of thousands)from coast to coast and beyond.

-Friends if your a fan like me and need a THEO fix;) during the week try YouTube, "Collide" you will feel the goosebumps Christine from BC mentioned.



Stace
GO THEO!!!
Represent Coaldale!!! WOO HOO!



Kathy
Theo,

Not since season two have I been moved by a performance on Canadian Idol. You, young man, take my breath away each and every time you grace the stage! Not only are you a gifted musician, but you are a fine example of a caring and sincere gentleman. Your parents must be so very proud of you! I so look forward to listening to you and your music for years to come. Bravo.....and encore!



sher
Theo. You really know how to make Canadians proud. You are a true musician and performer. I love watching you each week. When will your first CD come out? I will be waiting to buy it....Keep doing what your doing and I will be sure to keep voting for ya.

Hi Theo, congratulations on making the top 4! You have such a talent, thank you for sharing it with the rest of us.
Your love and passion of music is something amazing to watch.

Keep your chin up, this whole process is taking you to your dream. Just remember, you can do this.

Thank you for everything you do. Alissa; Ontario.



Laurie in Saskatchewan
Hey Theo
I am not one for commenting on blogs, actually i don't usually even read them. I felt compelled to let you know that when the competition started out you weren't really one of my fav's however, as the show progresses, my husband and I both became big believers in you, You are captivating when you're behind the piano, you're voice is pure with no gimmicks, I know the judges ( for some weird reason ) are huge fans of Earl, however, I think the real competition is between you and Drew. Hopefully Canadians will remember this is a competition of talent and singing, and vote the right way.



Tom Hickey
Theo, I hope you become the next idol as you are doing a great job with your singing.





Tom - St. John's, Nfld.
You were great doing the Beatles song.
You are our next Canadian Idol

Good job on monday! YOu were great with that beatle song. Cant wait till next week! Good luck!



Dr. Tracy Edwards
Theo

When you're back in Lethbridge, look for your photo on our Lethbridge College sign! We're behind you!

Cheers!

T.



Cathy
Someone once told me to "sing how I feel".

After your very emotional performance of "The Long and Winding Road" and after reviewing all of your other performances I can honestly believe that you do exactly that..."sing how you feel". But more importantly, you make everyone else feel it too.

Someone commented that you looked "sad" on Beatles night but "The Long and Winding Road" is a sad and melancholy song. You were totally believeable! (I had tears)

Stay true to yourself ~ heart, mind and soul!



Laura
Theo,
Don't worry about being in the bottom 3...To be a winner, you have to face what feels like the best...and what feels like the worst. Now that you know what it's like to be in the bottom, you can use what you learned to give yourself a boost and strive for perfection. I'm sure you will win Canadian Idol, and if not I will still love you anyways!!!

Always voting for you,
Laura (calgary,Alberta)



PB
Theo... you are amazing and without a doubt, in a league of your own on Canadian Idol. I have watched the show every single week and you have done awesome each and every time... talk about consistant! Saskatchewan loves you and is behind you all the way, my friend!

Greetings from Chilliwack, BC!! I'm related to some of your relatives and I am behind you all the way, Theo!
I even went so far as to have you nominated and sucessfully made "STAR OF THE DAY" on our local radio station. Can't wait for Monday night so we can hear you perform again!
Hope Coaldale enjoyed your performances...I wish I lived there.
Best of Luck cause you ARE the next Canadian Idol.

Hello Theo!

I'm looking forward to the show on Monday and seeing what song you choose for yourself. I think that you're really intelligent about song choice. Although, you have such an incredible voice and amazing way of interpreting songs that I'm sure you would sound phenomenal regardless of the song you chose.

I think it's really inspirational the way you've stayed true to yourself for this entire competition.

Wishing you all the best.

Arlen Mantie
Hi Theo,
Just saw you perform in Lethbridge on Aug. 22nd. I thought your talent was awesome on tv - but in person "AMAZING"!! When you sang "Good Mother" to your parents, I looked over at your mom and wondered he she was keeping it together. Many of us had tears streaming down our faces. Thank you for meeting with soooo many fans and signing autographs too.
Behind you all the way!!!




Sue J
Hey Theo,

Hope your throat feels better soon.

I love the phrase you used - how you want to "take the title". I used that same phrase myself just two weeks ago when I brought the 6-T sign with me to the show - THEO TYSON TAMS, TAKE THE TITLE!! (It was a play on Farley's 4-T - Theo Tams Top Ten.) We fans will do our best to help you do just that.

Good luck tonight! Can't wait to hear what songs you've chosen!

Sue J



Wim & Jannette
Hello Theo,
We are also watching you on the internet.

We hope you win.

Sabrina
Hey Theo, Just want it to let you know, that you should get ready to have a really buzy life because you are going to win this competition. I hope you know you got all Alberta and parts of Quebec behind you...and probably lots of other people from around Canada...When they did the fist cut a 200 peoples i knew already you would win !!!

Cheers,
Sabrina Edmonton Alberta



Tammy
THEO U R GREAT i cant even say how great u are in words! u r the best singer and has the best personality on the show i think!! im going crazy on my cell for voteing for u and trying to tell everybody about u! See i live in Lethbridge and i cant believe i missed u in coaldale and everywhere eles u where.i went camping :(:(:(:(:( ( my Grandma and Grandpa told me u were at the fair and at some place cleaning off tables.) im not sure but thats wat they said. U are just a big Inspiration for me beacuse i want to be a singer when i grow up. I wanted to be a singer since i started talking. and then singing just came nautral! But the odds are 1 to a million! So i really hope u win!!



Michele
Theo:

The last 2 weeks when we have heard more of your classical and opera training you reminded me of someone very famous. Please take this a compliment. I can here certain tones and style similar to Freddy Mercury of Queen. I always loved his range and how he could do a wide variety of styles of music.
I think you will go far in this competition. (hopefully win) but you will definately a career in music. I hope you come out with an album. I would be one of the first one to buy it. You also seem to have a wonderful human nature and that is a rare quality to find today. Good luck.
Michele (London, Ont)



Victoria
Theo,

Your voice has always been the one that stood out the most, and it's amazing to see anyone with classical training on the show. You are a truly gifted artist, and I honestly hope you win this competition. I'm looking forward to tonight's performance, and knowing you... it's bound to be great.

Thanks for another Bravo performance.



Diane
Hi Theo

Enjoyed your performence tonight. Song choice was good for you. I'm glad you let that bit of 'wild side' shine through. That 'bit of bounce' in your step.

You sing from the
heart. Your are truly one with the piano and take us on a ride each time you play and sing.

And as Jann Arden would sing "Rock this girl'.



Nicole Torraville
Theo!!
Oh my god Chariot rocked I loved it. You rock my brother. This is a cheer I figred out for you. WATCH OUT WORLD HERE HE COMES THEO TAMS IS # 1

Devyn
Theo,
You are such an amazing singer! I have been voting for you every week, because you just keep getting better and better. My whole family is cheering for you, and want you to make your dream real, even if you don't win idol. The other day when I was coming home from waterton, alberta....I was sooo excited to go through Lethbridge and Coaldale because it's where you are from....Theo, keep on livng your dream, and make it real,

Devyn,

Theo,
How does one describe you,defiantly a musical genius. Zach did mention that you step away from the piano for a change, you sure did with a guitar that took you just four days to learn to play.Piano,guitar or solo/vocal you do it all remarkably. I'm unsure when on piano if you are plugged into it or it into you. Last night we got to see "Theo unplugged" when you jumped up on the piano, that was unreal.
Michael Buble is one favourite Canadaian performers, now i have to ask Michael to share the stage,Theo Tams is on this way.
BUT NO, Theo Tams IS HERE. to stay!



kb
Great job on Anne Murray night. You don't look sad this week! It's great to see you perform with such energy. The home visit must have done you the world of good.

Victoria, BC



Jillian(Earl's cousin)
Great job last night. You were amazing. I loved it when you were singing on top of the piano craziest thing I've seen in a very long time. I wish you all the best in the rest of your career. Maybe someday we'll run into each other(I;m starting to explore my options in the music industry myself) Right now it's either wait two years and audition for Canadian Idol or look into independent options. I'm only sixteen so I have a long ways to go. Good luck

Hi..Theo,

First time I heard you sing I know for sure you will be the next Canadian Idol. I love the way you sing and perform with the piano of course and I think you are the next Elton John of Canada.

Good Luck Idol,

THEO!

Sheer Talent.

Those are my words to describe your performance this week. As I'm watching tonight's show, I can't help to hope that you'll stick around until the end.

Bravo and Bravo again.

Any suggestions for someone such as myself auditioning for IDOL 2009?

Amazing :)

Hey Theo, awesome job this week. Chariot and Collide are easily two of the best and most energetic and inspiring performances I have seen thus far on Canadian Idol. I hope that you win, and if you do not, I'm confident you'll do well anyway, because you are incredibly talented and pretty modest too. I can't wait to see what you have planned for next week! Good luck, and keep doing what you do.



Disappointed
We've been huge fans since the beginning and vote every week. However, since Tom Jones, your performances have gotten more and more over the top. Remember Gavin Rossdale--IT'S ALL ABOUT THE HEART. We miss the old Theo. You're too talented to be a parody. I'm not sure certain judges are encouraging you in the best direction. I hope you think for yourself and get back to performances that mean something.



Virginia Ryan
Virginia Ryan
Theo,Congrats on making it to the Top3,I'm so proud of you!Your confidence level is really UP there,&you are
'PHENOMINAL'.Plz don't ever let Zack's negative
comments,get to you,sometimes I think that he says certain things,just to get a'Reaction'from ppl.
Can't wait to hear which Bryan Adams song you sing,would love to hear you sing"HEAVEN",
but whatever song you choose,I just know that it'll be'Pure Perfection'.Would love to see vids of your'home
coming,too.I'm voting(2hrs)every Mon,loving&supporting you,always.

Theo,

I'm a fifteen year old girl from Lethbridge who started watching Idol this year after hearing about you...just to see if you were as great as everybody was saying you were...and I was absolutely blown away-you were better! I've started to watch this show almost religiously every week to see what you'll do, and I've never been disappointed!You've made Lethbridge extremely proud and I sincerely hope you win. You definitely deserve it!!!!



Ally
You are truly a one of a kind "Beautiful" talent, not only in your music but in your heart as well. I hope that you will stay true to yourself in your music and in your heart.
Music is in you. It is very special to be able to inspire people the way you do.
Stay true to yourself,and who you are as a person and as an artist, your amazing that way:)

Every man's work,whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anthing else, is always a portrait of himself

Hey Theo. I just wanted to say that you've been my favorite person on this show from when you sang 'Angel' in the top 200. I hadn't gotten the chance to see your first audition, but as soon as you sat down at that piano and started to sing, I knew you were going to do amazingly well in Canadian Idol. I have no doubt that you will win this competition.

Also, I wanted to say that I loved your performance of 'Chariot'. My sister and I had been hoping you would sing something by Gavin DeGraw for a while, and Chariot is one of our favorite songs by him. You did an amazing job, and I can't wait to see what you sing next week.



Diane, Hamilton, Ontario
Hi Theo, Your performance for week four was terrific. Your stage presence is really blossoming. Your voice is amazing and I just love hearing it. I love opera and I see that your training shows through in all your performances, so keep up the great work. Your Beatle renditions were beautiful. We Beatlemanics are very hard judges of other arrangements and you really did a great job of both songs. You are the ballad man. Waiting to buy your first album and supporting you all the way. Hope that we fans can get you to the finish line in first. Can't wait to hear your Brian Adams pick. So many good ones to choose from. Straight from the heart, Do I have to say the words, Heaven, Everything I do I do for you, Please forgive me are all great masterpieces for your voice talent. I look forward to another delight from you. All the best, Diane

Theo
Love your versatility song choices and the way you deliver them. Idol is definitely for you because you have something for each and everyone of us.
When the top 10 were picked, i took time to think and look at the big picture and asked myself which person would be the best to represent Canada.
"Your the Man"



Lily Lamont
Theo,

I've been voting and supporting ever since I saw your audition.
I've got most of the songs you've preformed on my ipod actually :].
You have all the talent and personality to make it all the way in the music business and throughout idol.
I've enjoyed every single flawless preformance you continue to preform each week and I'll always be voting.
No matter what, you'll always be my Canadian Idol, and I know you'll make it all the way in the compition.
Wishing you the best of luck,
Lily Lamont, On.
♥.



Marissa
Theo,

Just wanted to say I love your voice and you are by far the best singer this season, and every season so far.

I love the songs you have wrote too! I listen to them every day, and I can't get them out of my head!! :)

Keep Rocking!
Marissa
Lethbridge, AB ;)



Cathy
What can I say that hasn't already been said?

I knew from the first few bars of "Collide" at your audition that you were the next Canadian Idol.

I felt the same way when I first heard David Cook and look where he is today!

Stay true to yourself ~ heart, mind and soul!

Theo Tams.....look this song up. It's one that you will excel at. The lyrics are something that YOU can easily sell because of your moving performances.

Can't wait till you get your recording contract because I will be buying your first CD!

Rock on to you young folk that go classical and then seize every other style of music.



Luke Palmieri
theo you rock!!


i wish i could watch you tomorrow

but i can't:(

oh well

i know youll win=D

i added you on facebook!

-Luke Palmieri



Haley
Hi Theo!!! You are soooo amazing!!! There's not a doubt in my mind that you will win. I'm from Calgary but I came to see you in top 9. I was actually cheering for Amberly and Mookie, and yet some how, they're both gone. I didn't realize how amazing you were until I saw you sing live! You are really great!
Thanks for making Monday's exciting! :)

Best of Luck -Haley <3

p.s. Sometimes at the end of your blogs you sign with ttt. What does that stand for?



kb Vancouver Island
Theo, I really enjoyed reading your answers to the 10 questions. You clearly have a vision for each performance and for your musical expression in general. Your answers definitely stood out from the others in that respect. I just hope the Idol corporation allows you to follow your dream.

Can't wait to see your two performances Monday night. Sounds exciting!



janicemaerose
Theo,
One of the really appealing things about you is your humility. I love listening to you talk and reading your blog. You are so modest and eager to see other's strenghts. You're also very smart and willing to implement sound advice from the mentors.

You will go far Theo, even if by some freak result you don't win this show!



Kyle
Theo, I think you are awesome!! My friend said they voted for you about 300 times for you! My Aunt said, even before the Top 10, that you were gonna win! And she is gonna be right! You are gonna win!!
Kyle



Brenda
Theo...I have thought from the first moment I seen you sing on idol that you were going to win the whole thing. If you don't I will be awfully surpised. This is the first year that I have watched Idol from the beginning to end but I have to admit I can't wait for your album. Both the other guys are very good...however, there is no comparison..You hold the torch....run with it...there are great things in your future...I sit and wait to watch you every week I am so amazed by your talent...its a damn just a bit to old for you or lookout...You're hot and can sing......but I am guessin' tha I am not your type...lol..Keep up the good work...I believe that Canada has already picked its idol and it is you....



Haley
Wow, you are soooo amazing. Your singing just amazes me more and more each week. I know you'll win. I'll be voting! Do Alberta proud dude, do Alberta proud!



Victoria
Theo,

Even if you don't win (and I sincerely hope you do), you don't need Zac's opinion. You've already won in my eyes, you're a star. Believe it, because I do.

Best of luck this week,
-Victoria.



Mystie Neufeld
Theo GREAT performance tonite! I don't usually do this but I had to let you know how much I enjoyed you on the show tonite. When you sang "Heaven" I had goosebumps! What a talent you have! I wish you all the best and I have been faithfully voting for you. If you don't win I have serious doubts about the sanity of the Canadian voting public! Your voice is AWESOME and I know you will go far. Believe in yourself because we do.



G
Congrats.
Can't say you ever were my favorite but out of the remaining three....it's predictable that you'll take it home.
Hope it turns out better for you than it has for 99% of your predecessors!
Good luck.

Mitch Macdonald Doesn't Have The Good Personality And A Wonderful Singing Voice, And Like They Say He Might Be A True Inspiration To All But That He Is Not A True Inspiration To Everyone Everyone Has Different Opinions But You Theo Tams , You Have What It Takes All Of That, Good Luck Is All Were Saying,
If You Are Safe Tonight

You achieve perfection week after week,stellar performances.
A fan wanted to know why you sign your blog ttt, my answer would be Tyson as in the undisputed boxer champion, you ARE the undisputed Canadian musician champ. (a real cometitor for sure)

TTT Just keep on,keepin on. and maybe drop by Jully Blacks office, ask her to check your hurr (hair)before going on stage. ;) just joking



Sharleen and family
Hi Theo..In all of the years watching Canadian Idol, my family voted last night. You are so amazing that we felt compelled to pick up the phone. We did this because it would be very disappointing to lose you tonight. My family and I have watched both Canadian and American Idol, and for the first time, feel that we are watching a world class singer.
You are so good Theo that I actually get goosebumps listening to you sing.
You are also such a joy to watch. Your family must be so proud of you. A beautiful young man. And another first..we are going to buy your album.
PS..I love Rufus W..but Zack doesn't know Jack. If he did he would be at the top of the stack.
Just be true to yourself and be Theo Tams
Love you Theo..you rock



Paula from Saskatchewan

I need you to consider doing Justin Timberlake's 'What goes around'. As an expert viewer, this is my recommendation to you. haha

Keep on doing what you're doing and stay true to yourself! Have fun up there and be in the moment!



Emma Gordon
I LOVE YOU THEO!!!!!

I think you are absolutely incredible and I love you to death. I'm from Brandon, Manitoba, and just started university today for music. I'm a piano major. I LOVE your singing and your piano playing. I think you have a gorgeous voice, and I respect you so much as an artist. I would love to hear some of your songs. If you ever came to Brandon or Winnipeg I would be there in a second. I really really really hope win!! I'll be voting!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!



Deanna
Theo!
I'm sure you don't remember me from the U of L music program, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that you are killin' it every week with your performances. Seriously. Your performances have been amazing. I see signs everywhere in Lethbridge supporting you so be encouraged that we're behind you 100% and good luck next week!
Deanna
PS- SO jealous that you get to meet John Legend in NYC this week!



Kate, Victoria, BC
Top 2 and you totally deserve it. The final should be awesome, can't wait!
Being mentored by John Legend, how awesome it that!

Theo,
What a pleasure it has been to listen to you each week. You have a fantastic voice. Such passion when you sing. You have stood out from the very beginning. Praying you continue to show your heart, in your songs and win this competition. Count on my votes, my many votes. I can't wait for you to make a CD...I will buy everything you produce. So glad your performances are on the Idol site so I can enjoy your singing over and over again.

Nicole Stratychuk
Hi Theo!

This season of Canadian Idol has been the first I've watched and you have won my votes week after week! I think you are awesome and my roommates think I'm crazy that I have turned into this crazy Theo fan!
I just recently learned that I live below you! Its crazy because I told my roommates (half jokingly) that I swore you lived above us because I used to hear you sing and play piano. But since the show started I haven't heard you! So, now my suspicions are confirmed and I hope after you win Canadian Idol (and you will because you're AMAZING!)I hope i'll get to sit on my deck and hear you sing and play once more before you move on to bigger and better things!!!

Lots of love from the roomies down below!!!

Love
Nicole from Lethbridge



Kj.
Hey Theo
from one of your older fans
Thought you the best from the start.
I just had to mention
if you were to do "the last song" by Elton J.
My phone would smoke for 2 hrs steady !
Good luck man.




Carla P.
Theo,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful, moving voice with us. I knew you would be there in the end. You are an incredibly talented & expressive singer, songwriter, & musician. It is clear you truly feel the music & sing from your soul. This final week, just take a deep breath & let your soothing, soaring voice be the vehicle to tell us the stories from your heart & make us believe in them. You know this was meant for you so go on & just take it! It's yours!

Melony
Hey Theo, this is it! I knew from the first time you opened your mouth to sing that you would still be standing on the last night. You have an amazing ability to connect to your audience through your music and THAT will take you far. I have enjoyed every single performance--some gave me chills, a couple of them made me cry, and all of them impressed me more than you will ever know. You are an inspiration, and I have no doubt that, no matter what happens next week, I will soon be buying a Theo Tams CD and I can't wait! Dream Hard Theo, because your dream is coming true :-)

Theo,
You are an amazing singer and I usually don't watch the full season of Canadian Idol, but i have watched every week this season to hear you. I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on and that is awesome. I will be buying your CD when it comes out, because I know that no matter what happens in this competition, you will be a star anyways.



Ally
Found a quote from someone I know is important to you, it made me think of you!

People are unreasonable,illogical and self-centered.Love them anyway.
If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives.Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies.SUCCEED ANYWAY.
The good you do today, may be forgottoen tomorrow.Do good anyway.
Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable.Be honest and transparent anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.Build anyway.
People who really want help may attack you if you help.Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt.Give the world your best anyway.




Ashley
Theo,
You are awesome! I wish you all the best tonight as you take the stage! Go kick some butt!

Anne
Theo,

I just watched the show (Final 2) and again, was BLOWN AWAY!! WOW!!
I have no idea how to citique a performer, but I know what moves me. And that is you! Each song was performed with so much soul. Your voice seems to just reach out and touch my heart. I had goose-bumps!
I have never logged on to this site before, and am not even a serious follower of Idol, but I was compelled to find a way to let you know how incredible I think you are. Thank you for letting us into your heart with your music. Whatever the outcome of the show, I know I'll be hearing a lot more of you in the years to come.
I would love to have a chance to meet you sometime...you just seem like a great person who I would like to know.
Good luck and enjoy the ride!

IT KNOWER
HELLO THEODORE, Check out second 48-54 of you on the video clip "Top ten perform at Canada AM"! Saw a glimpse of the life loving you. To me the real you is "TIGGER" ( that's a good way to get the jitters out! ). Hope to see you move and dance like that, hop and click your heels all over the world. Pure joy. It needs you!




Terri Layden
Hey Theo... congrats on getting this Far i knew from day one that you would one of the top 2... i've voted for you from day one even though im from Newfoundland.. keep on singing no matter what happends.. lots of love




Teresa (Pickering, Ontario)
Theo, your performances last night were out of this world. I have no hesitation to compare you to the talents of Elton John. You have caught my attention since day 1 and I personally believe that you are the best choice to be our next Canadian Idol. Although you say in your message that Mitch is a great talent, you have that well-rounded quality in your singing which I think will prevail in the end. I find sometimes the judges' comments are a little harsh but it is good preparation for the music industry which truly lies ahead for you. I wish you all the best on Wednesday night and know that you will be the last man standing. We have never had such great musical talent yet on Canadian Idol as you have and it is exactly this type of talent that keeps the viewers' watching the show. All the best on Wednesday.



Karin
Theo I can't believe you are stressed and nervous! You don't look it at all! You look so relaxed up there. Theo you're an absolute natural with music. Every performance you've given has been better than the original artist! You are the next Canadian Idol! We can't wait to buy your albums! You rock Theo and we can't wait to see the finale on Wed. night! We'll miss watching you every week once this is wrapped up!
Cheers to you and continue singing with passion and heart! You do it so well! As the judges said and we agree you're probably the best this show has ever seen yet!
Goodluck to you Theo! You make Canada proud!
Karin



Kimberly Hill
Theo, I just wanted to tell you that I have been rooting for you since the very beginning. I always KNEW you'd be in the Final Two.

You are an AMAZING singer.I bees soo nervous every Tuesday night,just wondering if you will make it to the next round or not.But now that you are in the final 2,I have no doubt that you won't win.
You wouldn't believe how happy I am for you,even tho I've never meet you before.I have been going for you sence top 200.
I hope that the top 10 puts off a concert here in Newfoundland like ye do every year,cause I will be there just for you.
Anyway Theo,even if you don't win,congratulations on gettin this far.When you put out your next cd,here is one person who WILL be gettin it.
Best Of Luck,Take Care,
Carla M.

Hey Theo! I just wanted to say, great job this season. You have an amazing talent and voice that continues to inspire me! It would be soo awesome if the next Canadian Idol! I can't wait to hear your single on the radio. I am also looking forward to your CD'S. GREAT JOB. :D



Parvin (Toronto, Ontario)
Theo, everytime that I watch you perform on television you remind me so much of Elton John. It does not matter to me whether you become the next Canadian Idol or not - you are an idol in my eyes. Good luck tonight and I cannot wait to see you perform again tonight. All the best.



Michelle Thiessen...Brantford, Ontario
Theo,
I'm not sure if you do get the chance to actually read these comments, but I'm going to write anyways..
One thing I don't understand is how you ever doubted yourslef on making it this far. I have to say I have been a loyal fan of Idol from the first season, and right from the auditions this season you were my favourite. You still are. You are such an amazing singer and I completely agree with the judges when they say you havent made a mistake yet! You captivate me when you sing and I have to stop whatever I'm doing just to watch in awe.
I have a two year old son and I always replay the video when you sang Bubbly. He absolutely loves it! He tries to sing along with you, and when it's over he claps for you and says "Good Boy!"
It's such a pleasure and honour to hear you sing and I wanted to thank you as well for lighting up my little boy's eyes everytime he sees you perform! We'll be waiting for the release of your hit cd! And no worries, you're going to win tonight!

Congrats bud. You totally deserved it. <3!!



Janet
Theo - I have been watching Idol with my two children this season..first time. We were all so impressed with you right from the beginning and we were hoping that you would make it through to the finale. To see you accomplish that and then win -it was great. It was too late for my kids to stay up and watch the results - but they will be so excited in the morning to hear that you won. Congrats. There were so many talented musicians this year...Mookie, Earl, Drew and Mitch...all great....and I am sure you were happy to spend time and learn from them. You have a wonderful presence - keep being who you are are....and you will go far. Best.



Linda Cook
Hey Theo
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched Canadian Idol every year. Guess what, I picked you from the beginning. You have a beautiful voice, never stop singing. I will be at the Imperial Theatre in Saint John, New Brunswick to hear you sing with Mitch and Drew. Can't wait for your first CD. Take care and take the ride of your life to the fullest.



Hazel Kowalzik

Loved, loved, loved the final show and I can't begin to tell you how glad I am that you have become the Canadian Idol, Theo. Congratulations, you will undoubtedly make everyone from Lethbridge, from Alberta and from Canada proud to have been a witness to your journey. I really enjoyed hearing you and Mitch perform together - it is ironic that for two people with such different styles that the performance together was so incredible. I hope it won't be the last time I hear the two of you perform together. All the best!

Dear Theo,

I followed the show from the start and as far as I was concerned ,there was no contest. You were the best by far. Good luck in your future career. I will look forward to buying your first CD. As a parent myself, I can't help thinking how proud your parents must be. Good on you!



Tina
Congratulations on winning. I have been voting for you since day 1. You are an amazing singer and performer. My 9 year old son loves you too. I sure wish you were playing in Calgary. All the best to you.



rose
Congratulations Theo!
You have such a humble spirit. It was really great that even on the final show you still gave Mitch so much, rather than taking the lime-light for yourself.
You were my pick right from the first time I saw you on the show.

Cathie Schonberger
Hey Theo. We were so excited watching the show last night. The top ten was truly amazing this year. We have never watched idol every week as we have this season (we are from a small farm community in Norfolk county and are usually outside late in the summer) but were glued to the show every week this summer. We made sure we were in on time to see almost every episode. We only missed the results show on August 19th because our daughter, Angie sang at the CNE in Toronto. Not sure if you remember Angie Schonberger from the top 200. She made it to the cut for the final 24 and actually sang in Drew's group of four. She's my daughter and was equally excited to see you and Mitch make it to the "top 2". She knew going in that you were all forces to be reconed with! I am a huge fan and just know you will go so far. The sky is the limit. We will be at the Norfolk County Fair in October when you, Mictch and Drew perform at the Warchild Canada Fundraiser. Can hardly wait till then.

We wish you all the best, now and always.



Terry
Good win. I even voted. You remind me so much of Evan Biddell.(not his character from the show) Will enjoy hearing you for many years to come.



Frank Castelino
Hello Theo,
Congratulations and God bless. I read your bio and I am glad you help out with the sick. I have met Mother Teresa and have a photograph with her, she did wonderful work.

Theo:

Congratulations on winning this year's Canadian Idol. All of Canada is truly proud of your accomplishments. You are a great motivation to our youth, showing them that they can achieve their dreams through hard work and dedication. I knew from the first time I heard you sing that you would win the entire contest. I believe I wore out my redial button on my phone after voting for you for 2 consecutive hours. I will definitely be in line to buy your CD when it comes out.

Kudos to you Theo...You truly are a class act and the best singer Canadian Idol has ever seen!!!

Hi Theo
Congratulations Theo. I loved your performance last night,especially the duet with Mitch. You are right, he is a good singer. But my man..I had you picked from the start. Can't wait to buy your cd.




Valerie
You are the talk of the NATION today Theo!! Congrats on the win... you even came up in a Psych 2800 lecture this morning as an example for culture and behaviour... the prof mentioned you and that you took this class last year... She (and we) ARE ALL SOOOOO PROUD!!

Kathy Paunins
Theo,
I just want to extend my sincere congratulations on a job well done. I am continually mesmerized by each and every performance you have shared this season. We are so very lucky that you chose to enter this competition this year. I have tickets 'in hand' and am looking forward to seeing you (as well as Mitch and Drew) in Ottawa. This will be one of the best early Christmas gifts ever!

Kathy

PS...my husband and I have one small request...we would love for Amberly to somehow magically appear on stage in Ottawa as well....and if beggers can't be choosers, we'd be very receptive to hearing Good Mother.

I chose you on the very first showing, when you entered the arena with sweaty armpits (sorry guy .. I know you dont want to be remembered that way). I picked my top ten from the original auditions. You were a star the whole way through. Congrats!! To a long and rewarding career in the industry. I'll be looking forward to great thing to come.

Jyloah Mar.
The voice you've got people just got to stop just to hear you....
You've got alot going on for you right now, and as a matter of fact CI did vote in the next Elton John......
you sound so much like Elton John not funny, your songs are outstanding they are really good and you just keep striving and getting better and better now that you won Idol, your more successful then ever now, you only have to get those songs out their by your own self, and continue on from their your fans, wil buy em all im sure...
way to go Theo, late in the competition now your intense and overwhemness is all gone or at least should be now that you've got alot more fans nd fame.....
take er easy and see you somedy...
