  • I love Styx and Deyoung but this is Shite

  • Dennis' voice is awesome. Wished he just kept on singing solo.

  • Poor Dennis....they butchered his song

  • I think these people don't have any idea who Dennis DeYoung is. One of the greatest and most charismatic vocalists and musician of the fantastic 70s. I am a dedicated fan of Styx and I think that Dennis is its heart and soul.

  • Oh god... :(

  • These people cannot sing! Dennis is the only one that can.

  • Certamente que não foi no IDOLOS DO CANADA que encontraram um pareo para a maravilhosa voz de Dennis De Young

  • It's ashamed you won't see Dennis on American Idol. I would actually sit down and watch that show if that happened.

  • Man how did Dennis get stuck doing this? This people suck.

  • Why would he lower himself to this? Sad to see him up there with a bunch of average everyday singers of pop music.

  • I would've been great if Dennis could've been a guest on American Idol.

  • Notice how warm and on key Dennis' voice is. Notice how these kids can barely sing on key. Goes to show you can't manufacture true talent on a TV show.

  • Hopefully these idiots learned what real talent and ability is from this, and went straight home and got themselves a job!

  • CLEARLY, these f'king putzes are woefully incapable. They have merely shown that anyone can babble into a microphone, but it takes real talent to write such great songs, not to mention being able to sing and play an instrument as well.

  • Just shows today there is no talent left ................. like back in the day

  • omg, they butchered it.

  • Mr. DeYoung is so much older, with so much more power of voice still, than anyone less than half his age. What a testimony to his talent!

    Awed...

  • I love seeing young people exposed to true musicianship. I'd love to see Rush show up unexpectedly on American Idol. That would be friggin' awesome.

  • @lifrson it'd go like this...

    me: "OH MY GOD, THESE NERDS SOILD THE GOOD RUSH NAME! O_O

    SOILD IT!

    SOILD IT!

    SOILD IT!

    SOILD IT!!!

    *Lather, Rense, Repeat for 2 hours as I've gone into a feetal position.*"

    It'll be a cold day in hell Before NEIL PEART graces these Jackwagons with his presence, and thank GOD for that!

    THE LEE would most certanly not tollerate it.

  • I love seeing young people exposed to true musicianship.

  • I think some of them actually killed the song...

  • Gosh I hope for Canada's sake this song was just an abberation, because the idols were awful individually. I am going to assume they are better singers when on their own, but wow that was bad.

  • They may be nerds as someone said but dang I still get chills from this song after all these years,regardless of who is singing it...A sign of a timeless classic!!! Good to see the youthful generation appreciate TRUE MUSIC!!

  • They may be nerds as someone said but dang I still get chills from this song after all these years,regardless of who is singing it...A sign of a timeless classic!!! Good to see the youthful generation appreciate TRUE MUSIC!!

  • these kids all suck balls

  • Blame it on Canada to ruin a classic song!! These guys suck! I feel bad for you Dennis! Canada sucks!!

  • this sucks

  • who won in this...season? i don't know the faces of the "idols"..

  • lol american idol sucks,,,,,yjey all look like retards

  • Imagine what Simon would say? lol

  • oh, wow, those are not very talented kids. :(

  • hey, when canadian idol still existed!! :DD

  • I (l) this song

  • Oh man, those guys suck, I weep for tomorrows music. At least we still got Dennis DeYoung!

  • @livinginhawaii1971 we still got DeYoung!!...

  • godz..... can those guys suck any harder?

  • @TruthSurge dude are you serous

  • @skidoofr3ak144 yep. Those young kids really need about another 10 years of playing bars and paying their dues and honing their chops. It's a joke. No, I mean, the way they stand their and act like they have any ability is a joke. DeYoung was never a great singer technically (he misses his pitch often) but he was much better than these newbs.

  • @TruthSurge your a prick these guys are awesome, lets see you go do better 

  • @skidoofr3ak144 "your" a prick. HAHAHAHA YOU'RE a slimeball school dropout with no working brain. Even if I DID do better, you wouldn't be able to discern it.

  • @TruthSurge buddy im 14, hahha am im pree sure im still in skool 

  • @skidoofr3ak144 Instead of asking me, why not read the top rated comments above here? Anyone with an ear can tell.

  • but stilll i love dennis...

  • wtf bunch of fags are just screwing the fkn song

  • fuck, shut ur mouth and let dennis sing

  • for all of you who made a negative comment on the singing of these singers, I bet they sing better on their worst day than you do on your best.

  • wow dennis still got his voice.. whew

  • tragic ...no comments. ... One of my favorite songs ... What they DO?...

  • These guys cannot sing, Im going to puke!!!!

  • im going to fuck myself

  • wow... so much different than American Idol. I hope they got better than this performance. But Dennis DeYoung is STILL the man!

  • TALENTS WTF???

  • What the fuck happened to talent like Dennis DeYoung? Most singers these days don't have shit on legends like him.

    The problem now, is that it seams anyone can be a star. Back in the 80's, if you didn't have amazing talent, no one heard of you and that's now I liked it!

    If I do a music search, I'm spammed with TONS of crap that all sounds the same. Its like the music world has been bloated with spam.

  • I blame teenagers and 20 somethings. They'll listen to anything and think its good, because they don't know any better. Most of them have no idea what real talent is cause they're growing up in today's world; bloated with shitty music that overshadows the rare good stuff.

    They're the ones who record companies profit from and fill concerts, and they're the ones who give musicians millions of internet hits.

  • A few of the female singers were really talented, but the guys....not so much lol

  • The kids really make a nice backup sound for dennis, but keep em in the back.

  • Apparently Canada does not have too much talent! Rock on Dennis!

  • I remember this! The last person to sing was the best, IMO. Dennis DeYoung rocks!

  • Comment removed

  • relly nice....

  • My God, these young asses just suck shit!  Rock on 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s!!!

  • Dennis rocks the rest here suck...especially the weak ass fagboys.

  • LOL...the big beautiful boy on the left isn't even singing the correct words...@1:30...but he is a fine looking specimen...lol

  • This video shows the difference between a true superstar with talent and a bunch a manufacured prefab "stars". Dennis lasts over 30 years later and the contestants will be forgotten in 30 days.

  • Agreed people back in the 80s worked there way up the ladder with talent and people now and days sing on an Idol contest which is to easy.

  • Omfg, As a singer, I can tell you the male finalists really suck

  • they all really suck Dennis is a real singer not a robot made like this kids later buds!!

  • Actually, he IS a robot. His blood is boiling, his brain IBM.

  • lol!! Brilliant comment, domo arigato(mr roboto)

  • No one compares to Dennis he is a true singer no a robot singer of this times and yet guess didn't like them an so I did not hehehe later!

  • They all kinda suck, but the harmony was pretty cool

  • jesus christ those are the finalist dennis deyoung should have won canadian idol lol

  • yeah they were all pretty bad haha

  • Oh no. How terrible. How about singing I'm a Little teapot instead?

  • Dennis is the BEST!!!

  • what was that???OMG!!!!...those are the finalists?? WTF!!!! but honestly chx are god damned hot...

  • the teen angst kid was the worst.

  • Why, you homophobic or something?

  • The chicks sound good but the guys are rapping the song.

  • POOR DENNIS DEYOUNG!!!! Sad enough, that he got white hair... now he is to sing this wonderful song with those awful nerds...

    Greetings from Germany

  • I now live in Germany, too, and you are right---these kids suck. Poor Dennis...

  • @weissnet666 he's had white hair for a while, since 1983 actually he dyed it in 1991-1996 he never bothered to do it again afterwards

  • @weissnet666 'aweful nerds!' Haaaa..i know it is sad he looks awful with that white hairdo

  • @weissnet666 his hair became white ever since 1983, the whole kilroy thing took so much energy from him he dyed it throuought the 90s but stopped.

  • @weissnet666 better than loosing your hair...

  • @weissnet666 oh, and I wouldn't call some of those girls nerds. I'd fuck them in a heartbeat!

  • i saw the dogs running when the 2nd and 3rd guys sang

  • OUCH--- thats the best Canada has to offer?

  • I thought I was going to see Dennis like I saw Rodger Hodgson, but no they had to jump in and really screw the song up. Dennis is still STYX to me.

  • Wow. A "Canadian" idol? Is that even necessary?

  • yes. the fact that its twice as hard to win if youre from Northern USA on American Idol.

    Can you imagine how hard it would be for a Canadian to win American Idol? Like 2000x

  • True. I often think they should call American idol 'Californian Idol'.

  • Very interesting comment. I wasn't aware that most of the winners are from the South or Western states.

    Ironic that the best singer on the stage, Dennis, is from a suburb of Chicago! He's better talent than any American Idol ever produced, hands down.

  • they are not a singer,they are just an audience.understand

  • LOL! Dennis sounds better than all of them and his vocal chords are about 40 years older.

  • Beautiful song.

  • Deniis DeYoung is by far the greatest composer and singer in the world. No one can over do Deniis DeYoung.

  • quite simply the greatest song ever

  • i LOVE LOVE LOVE DENNIS DE YOUNG!!!

  • Holy smoke. They should have let Dennis sing the whole song.

  • omg this sucks , they are butchering it.

  • i just see 3 or 4 days ago at festival des mongolfiere at gatineau in quebec

  • Oh my god, is that the best Canada can offer?? Pathetic that there is only one good singer on that stage, and he is old enough to be their grandpa. The rest suck big balls

  • I'm Canadian and I have to agree with you but it's not because we don't have talent, it's because the judges are tone deaf and sift out the good ones for the show.

  • dennis with or with out styx...rocks!!!!god bless him....

  • american idol ...cool but prefer this songs

  • This reminds me of when I used to play piano in church for the childrens choir and they had no clue what was going on or what they were singing. lol. Do they even realize who they were on stage with?

  • You can tell who is an "idol" contestant and a real singer... where is the feeling???

  • Those kids make me laugh!!! But the girls are sexy.

  • fabulous!...fabulous dennis de young ! :)

  • The clear winner of this competition - Dennis DeYoung!!!! The rest were not very good

  • dennis is the true American Idol of all times.

  • best comment so far...

  • Those kids suck, but Dennis rocks!

  • These singers are awful... Dennis sounds so much better haha

  • thats right!

  • cool

  • what are the names of the 7 finalists?

  • Dennnis still got one of the best vocals in Rock, but those kids were aweful!!!

  • screw american idol .. this looks way better!

  • soy de ARgentina y ese tema, es buenisiimo.

    nose hablar ingles pero se dcir algunas palabras...

    My name is Noelia, And i from buenos aires argentina.

    I loved Usa, jajajajaj,

    besos :)

    kises:)

    good bay!

  • dennis will be on his deathbed and still sing better than these pathetic people

  • Now, I think DeYoung is kickass, but i must say. That was one of the gayest things I have ever seen. Those Canadian Idol fans made it really lame!

  • all the others sucked donkey balls big time. dennis can still belt it out at 60, and those young assholes can't sing a fucking thing. that's like getting frank pentangeli to sing that song.

  • CaNADIAN idol is like having canadian quarters, it SUCKS!

  • i didnt know there was a canadian idol...they actually suck..anyway..i love this song!soo romantic!!!:)\^^/

  • They did pretty good. The 2nd and 3rd guy wasn't great though.

  • ahhhh the only one that could really sing the 3rd one.. the girl. but still, FINALSISTS? wowzaa

  • Hey Queen appeared on Canadian idol too, just because its not America doesn't mean most of you people have to be asses.

  • Dennis DeYoung is the best songwriter ever.....and has the best voice. I am so glad to find this treasure.

  • Was great performes by Dennis and the others

  • OMG. I thought these were the rejects that had the second chance to come back on the show.. then I read the description and realized that they are finalists.

    OH WOW.

  • You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT on this one!

    That is why I NEVER LIKED CANADIAN TALENT shows.. the REAL talent goes to the U.S.A.

    Look who the judges picked as the finalists!!! I made my point!

  • Thank God for Dennis, he is the only one who can sing solo in this shoddy line up!!!!

  • I agree , he`s still got a good for a 70 year old

  • I think he is 60.

  • I agree with you! And I am Canadian,eh!

    That is why I always thought that when they do a "cattle call" for singers to begin with.. the producers should start WEEDING OUT ALL the BAD singers that WASTES TIME for the judges to find REAL TALENT!

  • Uh, OK Dennis. LAME.

  • Why Canadian Idol???

  • He was promoting his Canadian tour.

  • it would be allright if the other losers didn't sing too...lol.. in interviews he said he dislikes the sound of newer synthesizers for EP, right though, doesn't sound the same.i know mine don't

  • Good lord ,,,does this make me feel old

  • DENNIS DEYOUNG FREAKIN ROCKS!!

  • oh lol ;)))
