If you watch American Idol, you'll be interested to hear there is a strong Toronto connection with one of the finalists. They may list Leah LaBelle as being from Seattle, Washington, but she was born and raised right here in Toronto. She's the daughter of a Bulgarian pop-singer mother and a father, Anastasia and Troshan Vladowski, who founded Bulgaria's first rock band, The Silver Bracelets. Her parents formed their own group after they met, and escaped to Canada while on tour.
If you're rooting for someone to win American Idol 3, look no further than Toronto's Leah LaBelle. Imagine if the American Idol were Canadian.
