Glenn Gould School: Multimillion Dollar Contract

Mao Ke Dept: But that didn t matter to Mao Ke, one of five finalists in Canada s inaugural Newcomer Idol competition. She may be unknown here, but she s already a seasoned performer with three pop and classical albums in China, looking for a stage on which to shine in her new country, according to The Star. That was fantastic, responded Tarik Bacchus, one of three judges and an employee of University Settlement, an immigrant and social service agency, who has performed in rock bands himself. You ve forced me to be very picky. Your tone was just great and there wasn t a multimillion-dollar contract with a record company. Simon, Randy or Ellen weren t among the judging panel. A plastic trophy was all a winner would earn. Ke, who came from Guangzhou, China, four years ago to study voice at Toronto s prestigious Glenn Gould School, was the first to be called on stage at Grange Park. Her number, As Long as He Needs Me, captivated the hundreds of spectators there on Friday as part of a street festival. As reported in the news.
