Tuesday’s Top 9 show will highlight an array of top downloaded songs from ITunes. I strongly suspect that the hugely lauded IPhone will permeate all the ads in between segments of this televised performance show. I mean – come on! Or is the theme of this show enough of a sales boost for Apple? Either [...]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 8 Top 10 Results Show: The Motown Era
March 26, 2009
23 Comments
I am running late today – really late in fact! In a nutshell, I was not on the same page as the Judges last evening. How about you? Did you find them abnormally harsh? I swear the Judges were formulating their comments gathered from the rehearsal process because nothing else makes sense. Performing on the [...]

Wednesday’s Top 10 show will focus on music from the Motown Era. There should be something everyone, don’t you think? Well, we shall see soon enough. I am still so upset about Alexis Grace’s elimination last week. She would have been a wonderful addition to this Top 10 and was actually one of the singers [...]

Why is the day moving some fast? Am I getting slower as I get older? Probably! Well, that was a great show last night, wasn’t it? All the singers performed exceptionally well, some better than others, grant it, but still they all came out fighting in new and different ways! The funniest moment of the [...]

Tomorrow’s Top 11 show will focus on music from the Grand Ole Opry. And, in preparation for the performances, I found a comprehensive list of available Grand Ole Opry songs over at Idolforums.Com. I don’t know how accurate this list is, but let’s have some fun and try to figure out who will sing what [...]

What a day! I am running late, but the good news is that my Vocal Masterclass Top 13 article is almost done. It should be online tomorrow. So, what’s the big surprise/twist tonight? Ooooo – I am shaking in my boots. Those producers and judges never stop, do they? And, it will be very [...]

Tonight’s Top 13 show is a first for Idol. For seven straight years, the American Idol Final Group consisted of a Top 12, one of whom was eliminated each week. So it will be interesting to see how Idol re-organizes its format to accommodate the extra singer. Will they eliminate two singers at one point [...]

Tonight, we have an opportunity to hear the eight fortunate WildCard contestants once again. Overall, this is a superb group of singers and it seems quite sad that only three will advance to the Top 12 at the end of the show. Once the singers have completed their performances, their fate is in the hands [...]

This is a traveling day for me, so I may or may not be home in time to see the Group 3 Results Show. This time traveling factor is less problematic for me, given the fact that the talented Jason Castro will not be performing on the Results Show as planned. Since I was really [...]

On the evening of Tuesday, March 3rd, we will be treated to performances from each of the immensely talented singers in Group 3 of the semi-final rounds of American Idol Season 8. Collectively, this will be our strongest group of singers and, off the top of my head, I can envision six of these singers who [...]

Last night’s show was very strange. The performances were all over the place; however, I stand behind my personal picks of Adam Lambert, Megan Corkrey and Kris Allen. I felt that, based on their individual performances, these three performers demonstrated the greatest potential for success. The trio exhibited sublime style and substance during their vocal showcase. [...]

I am having an incredibly busy day and evening, so I am truly thankful that I prepared the majority of this article in advance. I will be watching this episode intermittently, so I will not be able to give you live details from this show. However, I am curious as to the “surprise” that awaits [...]

Hollywood Group Rounds will be featured in this February 4th episode – my favorite! Last night’s show was pretty frantic at times. It was difficult to get a sense of what each singer had to offer as an artist. I could do without all the backstage drama. I would rather that the focus be placed [...]

New York and San Juan Auditions are featured in this last episode of the preliminaries and not a moment too soon. I just find this leg of the American Idol journey so tedious – necessary, yes – but tedious. And I am sure that many very talented singers were deprived of airtime, but, then that’s [...]

Salt Lake City, Utah! Home to Season 7 Runner-Up, the extraordinary David Archuleta. More than anything else, I am excited to see if David will be featured on the Salt Lake City episode. I am thinking not, as his career is jam-packed and enjoying the skyrocketing ride reserved for emerging superstars. However, according to the [...]

Jacksonville auditions are in full swing, as the producers and judges reach their next stop of the American Idol Season 8 Preliminary Auditions Tour. I am really pumped for the show this evening.
