The search for Canada's next singing sensation extends to the sub-arctic, as "Canadian Idol" holds auditions in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.
"Canada is the world's second biggest country, but first when it comes to musical talent," said John Brunton, executive producer of the series. "We know we need to be thorough in our search and reach out to this country's remote populations -- we are hoping to be blown away in Whitehorse."
The series on CTV-TV, is hosted by television personality Ben Mulroney along with comedic correspondent Jon Dore. The series' four-member judging panel is comprised of Canadian music industry veterans Farley Flex, Jake Gold and Zack Werner along with internationally recognized singer/songwriter Sass Jordan.
