Canadian Idol Season 3
Canadian Idol was a Canadian reality television competition show which aired on CTV, based on the British show Pop Idol. The show was a competition to find the most talented young singer in Canada, and was hosted by Ben Mulroney. Jon Dore was the "roving reporter" for the first three seasons. Elena Juatco assumed the role for season four, Dave Kerr had the role in season five and Jully Black in season six. The show began with a cross-Canada tour in which singers audition in front of four judges: Jake Gold of Toronto, Sass Jordan of Montreal, Quebec, Zack Werner of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Farley Flex of Ajax, Ontario. Eventually the performers were narrowed down to 10 finalists, with each competitor performing live. Viewers had two hours following the broadcast of the show to phone in their votes for their favourite competitor. On the following night's episode, the competitor with the fewest votes was sent home. After the final two perform, viewers had more than two hours to vote. The next day, the competitor with the most votes was declared the winner. The show was taped at the John Bassett Theatre in Toronto, Ontario.

After four days of jangled nerves, sleep deprivation and non-stop rehearsals, some of the country's most promising and undiscovered singers can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Canadian Idol's toughest week has ended and now 32 hand-picked hopefuls are priming for their shot at the spotlight.
Hailing from towns such as Burlington, NL and Swan Hills, Alta., Canadian Idol competitors came from all points in Canada and descended upon Toronto for what's possibly the biggest competition of their lives: the grueling four-day elimination round of the Top 100.
With both coasts of the country swept and scoured for singers, Canadian Idol shifted its focus to the cities of London, Sudbury and Toronto to make sure no potential talent is left undiscovered.
After scouring Western Canada for talent, Canadian Idol headed east where they island-hopped, walked the ocean floor and danced the conga -- all to find the next successor to the Idol throne.
After a whirlwind tour across the country, Canadian Idol finally unveiled some of its unique musical finds as discovered in the western cities of Vancouver, Calgary, Saskatoon, Whitehorse and Winnipeg.
