Craig Sharpe (born September 23, 1989 in Carbonear) is a Canadian pop singer who was the runner-up on Canadian Idol 4, having finished a close second behind winner Eva Avila. He came through seven rounds of auditions judged by Canadian Idol's four-member panel. Sharpe is the second contestant from the small community of Upper Island Cove, Newfoundland, Canada (Jason Greeley from season two was the first), and the fourth contestant from the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Sharpe is notable for his higher tenor voice.
Born in Carbonear, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada, Sharpe attended Ascension Collegiate, Bay Roberts, where he excelled at music and geography. When not composing music, he said his pastimes included spending time with his pets and playing basketball, volleyball and badminton.
Sharpe was the runner-up on Canadian Idol in season four, and lost the closest Idol race to date to Gatineau native Eva Avila by just 131 000 votes out of nearly 4 million cast.
When asked during a CTV interview what one person he would like to meet, Sharpe named Selena Quintanilla Perez: "She put a lot of work into what she loved and she didn't get to express her talent." [1]
