	Games - Ashley Leitao

Ashley Leitao was the ninth-place finisher on the third season of Canadian Idol. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Ashley moved to Portugal at the age of six. Presently, she resides in Burnaby, where she is a sales associate. Performing in the first group of the Top 32, Ashley performed "Colors of the Wind" which convinced viewers to vote her into the next stage of the competition.

Songs that Ashley performed during the season included:

Top 32: "Colours of the Wind"
Top 10: "Let it Rain"
Top 9: "Sir Duke"

On the July 27 episode, it was revealed that Ashley was a member of the bottom 3, along with Melissa O'Neil and Josh Palmer. Judge Jake Gold made the observation that all three of them were from Western Canada, and insinuated that regional voting might have been at play. Ashley had the lowest number of votes, and after giving a tearful goodbye to Canada, she performed a farewell rendition of "Sir Duke". Her elimination was considered by many viewers to be shocking and untimely.

Leitao has formed a currently unnamed group with fellow former season 3 contestants Casey LeBlanc and Amber Fleury. It is believed to be the first time in any Idol series that more than one competitor have formed a permanent group. They are currently working on an album release, which is expected during the summer of 2006.
