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 […]

First of all, I have to say that I was extremely pleased with the selection of singers for this season’s Top 12. I think that the strongest singers did indeed advance to the finals of this American Idol competition, even though some very good and promising singers were lost along the way. However, that being […]

Who here was not enchanted by Kelly Clarkson’s mentoring strategy with our remaining five singers: Brian, Carly Rae, Dwight, Jaydee and Matt? She was a positive, yet constructive vocal coach and her youthful, genuine personality was instrumental to the successful performances of all the singers this week. This was a great show. All the singers […]

So, I was browsing the internet today and look what I found. It’s a much younger Debra Byrd, Voice Coach for American Idol and Canadian Idol, singing with Barry Manilow at the piano, with Dana Robbins on saxophone. It was recorded live in 1988. This song mesmerized me . It was a spectacular performance and […]

Can it be? Have we really reached the TOP 2 already? Every year it seems that the weeks leading up to the American Idol Finale fly by faster and faster. Perhaps the rationale is that, even after all these weeks, I still could not figure out where this show was going this season. It didn’t […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week, our Top 4 celebrated the music of Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees. As much I love and respect the music of these legendary performers, I just found this to be a strange thematic selection for everyone. This music is very difficult to perform as a soloist and, by the […]

As I have encountered a musical emergency here in Timmins, it may not be possible to submit a Vocal Masterclass article for the encore performance of our Top 6. I have to step in to play keyboard for the musical, “Anything Goes”, as the original keyboard player just received news that her father died unexpectedly. […]

Here we go everyone. Let’s have a round table discussion regarding tonight’s enormously successful Idol Gives Back special. Personally, I was very disappointed that Michael Buble was not on the show as expected. However, the duet between Elvis and Celine made up for it. It was unbelievable wasn’t it? And Josh Groban was amazing as […]

Well, I don’t know about you, but I thought the show this evening was absolutely a moving and memorable experience. The performances were extremely well done; however the video footage was extremely disturbing and educational at the same time. I hope that an unbelievable amount of money is raised to benefit these children who are […]
