I met a young Canadian heartthrob yesterday named Wilfred Le Bouthillier. What an adorable little poptart he is! He won the French-Canadian equivalent of Canadian Idol, Star Academy, in 2003.I fought my way through a group of frenzied teenaged fans, wearing my pink colour-of-my-blog sweater, and caught his attention.
Wilfred wormed his way to the top of the competition, not only because he has talent, but because he was such a humble, nice guy. And, the judges loved his innocence. When asked what he wanted to be as a child when he grew up, he answered, 'the pope'. Adorable! How could they resist?
Before meeting him, I got to see his show, which was a lot of fun. He did the best rocker jump I've seen in a long time. Some of his lyrics need some work. He has a song called 'Tout sorte de monde' which means something like 'It takes all kinds'. One of the verses goes (and I translate here) 'It takes black and white, rich and poor, etc...' You get the idea. Wilfred needs to work on some of his writing. But who cares! He is delightful. I could eat him for breakfast.
