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 Article For American Idol Season 10 Top 2 Singers: The Country Road To The Grand ‘Ole Finale
May 25, 2011
4 Comments
By: Rosanne Simunovic Well at long last and with much fanfare we are down to our final two singers, country artists Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery. In a nutshell, both singers looked and sounded exhausted and nervous. I am sure, as we all are, that they just want this experience, however exciting, to end so [...]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Last evening’s performances were as good as they could be, given the song choices at the disposal of these three young singers. Some of the selections were not the most inspired and, actually, brought out the weaknesses in some of the voices. However, it was exciting to see Beyonce at work with [...]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Last evening’s performances were actually very good. Better than I thought they would be. And how great was it to see Lady Gaga working with the Top 4? She really brought out the theatrical side in all these singers and gave excellent ideas. She made them aware of the words – how [...]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Last evening’s performances were a little of this and a little of that in terms of a successful delivery from each singer. I was enjoying the show, then not, then loving it again. Some of the songs were not suited to the style of the singers, in part due to relevance of [...]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Ihave been waiting a very long time for the opportunity to hear Carole King’s music on American Idol. Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds was along for the ride, collaborating with Jimmy Iovine during the mentoring process. However, the ” cut and paste” approach to Carole King’s songs left much to be desired. Her songs need [...]

By: Rosanne Simunovic What a fantastic Top 7 show! Everyone performed exceptionally well and so my critiques of the singers are less verbose than in other weeks. And while watching Jimmy Iovine interact with the singers, I was very impressed with his methodology, how relentless he was in accessing the very best attributes in all the [...]

By: Rosanne Simunovic O once again, i thought the Top 8 singers put out a splendid show last evening. I found it absolutely hilarious how many of the singers were counteracting the advice given to them by Jimmy Iovine. This was the highlight for me and I am surprised American Idol would air all this nasty stuff. [...]

By: Rosanne Simunovic I really, really enjoyed last night’s performances. I predicted they would be good and, generally, I feel that prediction came true. There were some neat surprises last evening as well that made a difference in my evaluations this week. Let us move forward to my Vocal Masterclass evaluations and I welcome your commentary [...]

By: Rosanne Simunovic I am finally back from vacation and that means the Vocal Masterclass articles will be up and running each and every week during the American Idol Season. So, last night, the singers performed the music of Elton John. However, they only had 20 songs from which to choose. Does this make sense [...]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Before we begin, I would like to say that the Top 13 Vocal Masterclass evaluations will be shorter than those you will read as the season progresses. As I begin more familiar with the singers and, hopefully, notice changes in their vocal and performance technique, then the critiques will become more detailed [...]

Who are these people to the left of my blog entry? We don’t really know, do we? Not at least until tomorrow evening! One could be a major star next year at this time. So, as we anxiously await to hear the singers who auditioned in Milwaukee, we can bask in the glow of last [...]
