Canadian Idol comes to Toronto

Hundreds of Canadian Idol hopefuls lined up in the rain for hours to have their chance to audition. People from all over Ontario took the opportunity to showcase their talents. Though most of it was a waiting game, Natasha Bedingfirld eased the boredom by performing for the crowd of hundreds.

    Last year's audition tour saw 10,000 Canadian singers audition. Among them was Brian Melo, who was ultimately named the 2007 champion of "Canadian Idol" and awarded a recording contract with Sony BMG Music Canada.

    After the success of last year's tour, the first in North America to allow competitors to audition with instruments, musicians will once again be able to accompany themselves in this year's audition rooms.
