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.

Following Canada's lead, viewers will see instruments on the upcoming season of "American Idol," premiering Jan. 15 on CTV.
