Sebastian Pigott not shocked he was voted off Canadian Idol
Sebastian Pigott can't say he's shocked.
After being in the Bottom 3 the previous two weeks, the 25-year-old singer, actor and writer from Toronto, Ont., pretty much figured he'd be the next to leave Canadian Idol.
"Yeah, I was expecting it," said Sebastian, shortly after his elimination. "(But) I want to make sure that all the people who've been voting for me and supporting me know how thankful I am because it's been such a tremendous ride, especially the couple of weeks of the Top 10 there where I was getting beat up by the judges and the support from everybody was awesome and I'm so glad they kept me around because that's the note I wanted to go out on."
He was actually surprised he didn't go the week before, after the less than favourable comments he received from the Canadian Idol judges. The show's youngest competitor, Katherine St-Laurent from Otterburn Park, Que., was voted off instead.
Sebastian received much better comments this week for his rousing performance of Little Richard's "Lucille" on "Unplugged" week, with Farley Flex welcoming him back to the music business and Sass Jordan saying it was the best thing he'd done in a long time. He had been previously praised for his performance style and Flex even called him the first "sex symbol" the show has ever had.
"I don't think they were saying I'd improved but rather I recovered because I did. I'd peaked pretty early and gave what they considered a couple subpar performances," said Sebastian.
But it still wasn't enough. And although Sebastian may have been anticipating the outcome, it doesn't mean he wanted to leave Canadian Idol.
"Of course I'm disappointed," said Sebastian, who is still glad he got to experience the Top 10, even if it was without his older brother Oliver.
The two made Canadian Idol history by being the first siblings to make it to the Top 24. When Oliver failed to make the Top 10 and was voted off Top 16, Sebastian said it was a bittersweet victory.
