Canadian Idol is a reality television show on the Canadian television network CTV, based on the popular British show Pop Idol and its American counterpart American Idol. The show is a competition to find the best young signer in Canada. It is hosted by Ben Mulroney. The show begins with a cross Canada tour in which singers audition in front of four judges. Eventually the performers are narrowed down to 10 finalists, with each competitor performing live. Viewers have two hours following the broadcast of the show to phone in their votes for their favorite competitor. On the following night's episode (live again), the competitor with the fewest votes is sent home.
