CTV is giving viewers the chance to vote online for what songs Canadian Idol competitors will sing on the show’s first ‘Judges & People’s Choice’ episode.

Viewers are invited to vote at the sponsor-packed microsite Idol.CTV.ca until Aug. 28, selecting from a shortlist of three songs per competitor. The competitors will also each perform a song chosen by the judging panel.

The performance episode will air Monday, Sept. 3 at 9 pm ET/PT. The Top 3 results episode on Tuesday, Sept. 4 will be expanded to one hour in the 8 pm time slot and will feature a live performance by 2005 Canadian Idol champion Kalan Porter.

CTV president of programming Susanne Boyce, who also chairs the CTV Media Group, says the show ‘has always been a participatory process with our viewers, and this unique show takes fan interaction one step further.’

Sponsor integration at Idol.CTV.ca includes a McDonald’s branded mini-game, a contest by Pantene Pro V Shine, a TD Canada Trust Comfort Zone photo gallery and Kraft Idol Confidential video extras.
