Phillip Phillips To Perform New Single On American Idol Season 12 Results Show
February 24, 2013 
7 Comments
Has anyone heard Phillip Phillips‘ new single, Gone, Gone, Gone? Yes? No? At any rate, you will be able to catch it live on the Thursday, March 14th American Idol Results Show. Before I listened to the song, I wondered whether the haunting arrangement we heard in his hugely successful American Idol single, Home, would […]

Am I missing something here? If so, what? I just heard this incredible Masterclass Recording of Sometimes I Cry by DeAndre Brackensick. It was recommended to me a while back by one of my loyal readers, Anita. Thank you! It was recorded to coincide with the abbreviated performance of this number during the American Idol […]

So now what indeed? Do these two talented singers have any chance at all to succeed in the music business? This season’s version of American Idol had the lowest ratings ever in the history of the show. And the Associated Press issued a statement that a decrease in financial payout was in effect for this […]

May 24, 2012 27 Comments
When I first saw Phillip Phillips perform his first audition, my initial reaction was that he could be the ONE! He had all the quirky, yet humble ingredients that served other male winners very well. He reminded me of a younger version of Season 5 winner, Taylor Hicks, and we all know how that season […]

C’mon! You know you want to press the play button on the video featured above. I have already played it several times. It’s that beautiful. Yesterday evening, Phillip Phillips gave a wonderful rendition of the song, “Home”. If he wins, it will be released as a single but part of me is thinking that it […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic And then there were two! After four months of wonderful performances, amid the usual controversy and drama, Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips have emerged as the Top 2 Finalists of American Idol Season 11. Although I had a hunch that Jessica would make the Top 2, I was anticipating Top 8 Finalist […]

I am adding this VM Discussion topic early for a couple of reasons. First of all, I wanted to remind everyone that American Idol Performance Finale is on Tuesday, May 22nd from 8:00 – 9:00 P.M., followed by the gala Finale Results show on Wednesday, May 23rd from 8:00 – 10:00 P.M. Why they changed […]

On Thursday, May 17th, Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips learned that they would advance to the Top 2 Performance Finale. When taking into consideration the performances during this week’s Top 3 Performance Show, it was a bit of a shocker to hear that Jessica would advance. Both Joshua Ledet and Phillip Phillips received consistently positive […]

Does anybody out there have any idea what is going on with this show this year? I thought for sure they wanted a female winner but after last evening’s performance show, it seems like a distant memory. It doesn’t take an expert to figure out that talented little Jessica Sanchez was railroaded this week when […]

May 16, 2012 40 Comments
By: Rosanne Simunovic This week, our Top 3 performed three songs apiece – their Personal Choice, Judges’ Choice and Record Producer Jimmy Iovine’s Choice. This was, as expected, a very big week for this triumvirate. They were grandly treated to individual homecomings, where they had time to visit, perform and thank their hometown supporters. This […]

Spoiler Below: Picture Of Song Picks Below Article. Source: MJsBigBlog.Com Ugh! Just ugh! I am so underwhelmed with this show right about now. So many great singers were eliminated much too early in the competition (Shannon and DeAndre) or else unfairly treated until they were eliminated (DeAndre and Hollie). This is not to undermine the […]

You have to laugh or else you’ll cry. Recently Jennifer Lopez was interviewed on The JohnJay And Rich Morning Show. During this interview she was asked to select a Top 12 contestant she would sign to a recording contract if she had her own record label. Well, guess whose name popped out of her mouth? […]

Last week, the little engine that could, Hollie Cavanagh, was eliminated from American Idol Season 11. We all knew it was coming but all her fans were hoping beyond hope that the inevitable elimination wouldn’t come to pass. But, we know how this show works. It is pre-determined from the get-go, despite what the producers […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic I will keep this short and sweet! This week’s Top 4 Performance Show was excellent. But where did the Big Band Theme disappear to? There was never a theme more entertaining and more challenging than that particular genre of music. The phrasing elements, the lyrical and melodic content, the expressive performing style […]

Sometimes – if not all the time – you have to let the chips fall where they may. No one – not even the winner himself – could have predicted the outcome of The Voice Results Show during Tuesday’s telecast. This season’s winner of The Voice, Jermaine Jones, poured his heart on the stage every […]

This blog topic is going live in haste and in waste. My week is ridiculously busy (the haste part) and I am sick with the flu to boot (the waste part). Needless to say, there will be no Top 5 Vocal Masterclass article. I am just too tired and too sick to stay focused. I […]

It’s a big night tonight. I have no idea who is getting the old heave-ho, but there is going to be some mighty fine entertainment to take the edge off the anticipation. Scheduled to perform is American Idol Season 10 Finalist, Stefano Langone, along with the very talented Katy Perry. I love both artists and […]

April 26, 2012 10 Comments
By: Rosanne Simunovic Given that the music was from the Queen music catalogue, I honestly thought we were headed for another scream fest this week. However, most of the singers were very crafty with their song selections, unveiling numbers that either spoke to their particular style of singing and/or allowed them to take successful risks. […]
