Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Hollywood Rounds Part One

Tonight, American Idol begins the singing marathon called Hollywood Week. And I am sure it will be filled with all the drama and suspense that I have come to dislike about this show. It is tedious and overblown. As I said last week, American Idol would have been wise to jump-start the live shows this [...]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Portland Auditions

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 [...]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Houston Texas Auditions

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 [...]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Aspen Auditions

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.

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The San Diego Auditions

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 [...]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Savannah Auditions

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?

Vocal Masterclass Discussion For American Idol Season 10 Top 8 Results Show: Music From The Movies

Who is getting the old heave-ho tonight? After last week, anything is possible so I won’t even wager an opinion at this point. The strongest performances last night came from James and Stefano, but Lauren and Scotty demonstrated enormous improvement overall. So, that leaves us with Hayley, Casey, Jacob and Paul.
