Tonight, American Idol features the final stop of the Season 11 audition tour – the city of St. Louis. Think we’ll find any blues singers? One can only hope! Wednesday’s Portland show was pretty weak, I thought. Lots of people with back stories and mediocre voices. I can’t see many going far during Hollywood week. [...]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Portland Auditions
February 1, 2012

Tonight, American Idol enters the third and last week of preliminary auditions via the city of Portland, Oregon. Thursday’s Houston, Texas show was very good. More great singers were discovered and will most certainly do very well during the Hollywood Bootcamp. I was very excited to see Season 6 contestant, Baylie Brown. I remembered that [...]

Tonight, American Idol continues its journey while highlighting the talent discovered at the Houston, Texas auditions. I thought last evening’s show in Aspen showed some very promising talent. There were a couple of guys with resounding baritone voices and, of course, Hippie Girl Haley was just tremendous. What a surprise! And she is different and [...]

I have always wanted to travel to Aspen Colorado, so the closest thing I will encounter is catching a glimpse of it here and there during this evening’s American Idol Aspen auditions. I wonder if anyone will ski into the auditions. Just a crazy thought! I pretty much thought that the San Diego auditions were [...]

Well, apparently there is some important game on tonight, acting as a lead-in to a special showing of American Idol. As you can plainly see, I am not an avid sports fan – except when the Olympics air. Then I turn into a raving lunatic, acting like an avid and obsessive sports fan. It really [...]

What a fantastic showing in Savannah, Georgia last evening! The new season of American Idol moved smoothly and efficiently, thanks to Ryan Seacrest’s flawless narration and the renewed energy of the judges, Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. And the singers! Let’s talk about the singers! The first thing that comes to mind is [...]

Tonight’s two-hour premiere of American Idol Season 11 will showcase the discovered talent in Savannah, Georgia. Two hours for one city seems a little extreme. Has it always been this way? Who can remember from year to year? Not me. So the two-hour showcase allotted to the Savannah singers must be indicative of the stellar [...]

Hello everyone! I hope y’all had a relaxing, memorable holiday. Mine was splendid and filled with family, laughter, music, good food and just plain ‘ole fun!

Wow! I almost forgot about The X Factor Finale. Someone should tell Simon that ’tis the season to be baking, wrapping gifts, attending choir rehearsals and/or concerts etc. Not watching television reality shows. Oh well, what do we have here? Of yes, Chris, Melanie and Josh. Good luck to all three of them. The show [...]

David Cook: Why Isn’t This Young Man A Superstar?
December 18, 2011

I have to admit – I just don’t get it! I truly don’t. The fact that David Cook has eluded superstardom leaves me completely and utterly baffled. It leaves me to question the nature of the promotional process once American Idol completes a season. All that hype, all the hoopla, all the exposure garnered from [...]

Well, the surprises just keep on coming. Who would have foreseen Rachel’s elimination last week? However, all appears to be good and well for the spunky little thirteen-year-old with the great big voice and personality. It seems that she is being courted and embraced by Disney. Which explains why Simon was calm, cool and collected [...]

I am loving this double elimination thing. Tis the season, right? Far too busy to spend one’s time in front of the TV. This week the singers hit us with two songs apiece so I am hoping to see some diversity in their singing style. I won’t even wager which singer(s) will be eliminated. After [...]
