I have been so sick here with some wicked flu and thought that nothing would garner any strength or comment from me for a while. Additionally, I wasn’t able to watch the Top 5 show because of my malaise, but this morning, after reading all the vague “Paula-Jason” comments on my Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread, […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Top 5 Performances: The Music Of Neil Diamond
April 29, 2008 
38 Comments
I am looking forward to the show tonight. I really love Neil Diamond. I was fortunate to see him in concert years ago and he staged a superb show. He is a passionate, intense performer and absolutely adores and respects his audience. So, I think he will give these singers excellent advice on what it […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Personally, this week’s show was one of the highlights of the American Idol 7th season. The opportunity to watch and learn from Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s interaction with the Top 6 was indeed an exciting and memorable one. I thought Andrew Lloyd Webber was absolutely amazing and tirelessly patient with these singers. […]

It’s Andrew Lloyd Webber night and I have the flu. So, I will be watching the show from the comfort of my bed. I love his music and nothing – I tell you – nothing will deter me from experiencing this show. Hopefully, the performances will cure all ills – especially mine – because I […]

April 21, 2008 Comments Off on Jordin Sparks’ Burgeoning Career Halted Due To Health Problems
I am extremely upset regarding the recent news of Jordin’s Sparks health problems. According to MJs Big Blog, Jordin’s career is temporarily (I hope) on hold until the inflammation in her vocal cords subsides. When will the mentors/managers/agents of these young singers realize that pushing these artists to the brink of exhaustion while singing with […]

When I listened to the opening refrains of “Ave Maria”, I was actually worried. Kelly sounded a bit breathy and fragmented within her approach to her phrase lines. However, Kelly being Kelly, the end result was absolutely glorious. She added some lovely vocal embellishments during the second verse of this song. Yet, in the end, […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic The Top 7 singers performed exceptionally well this week, and, on a couple of occasions, I was pleasantly surprised by some of the performances. I thought Mariah Carey was absolutely wonderful with the singers, providing constructive and positive support to all of them. It cannot be easy to work with this year’s […]

I really loved tonight’s show – but, until my Vocal Masterclass article is completed, I will refrain from voicing my favorites. However, I will say that Mariah Carey seemed like a wonderful mentor – very supportive and kind to all the singers. Please share your comments.

Here is a quick link to MJ’s Big Blog Spoiler for tonight’s Top 7 performance. I have been meaning to add this each week, but, better late than ever. MJ will be updating the Spoiler thread once she receives further confirmation of the song performances/performance order later in the day. Enjoy!

April 11, 2008 14 Comments
By: Rosanne Simunovic What a jam-packed week. Idol Gives Back has become bigger than ever and the performances, collages and tributes last evening were outstanding and deeply moving. But, I am here to discuss the Top 8 performances of inspirational songs. It was, generally, a pretty solid night of singing, but some of the singers […]

April 11, 2008 20 Comments
I wish the judges would judge the singers on their singing ability and stop analyzing whether or not the song is appropriate for the theme. If this had been the case two days ago, Michael Johns would have been been performing on stage next week. I am personally disgusted that one of the most promising […]

I thought that the singers performed very well this evening, but,once again, I am confused over the judges’ treatment of Syesha. It is a real head scratcher and it is blatantly clear that the judges do not have a strong affinity for this young lady. Their comments have become personal and subjective and in no […]

April 4, 2008 25 Comments
By: Rosanne Simunovic Well, this week’s showcase was a mixed bag of tricks, wasn’t it? I was trying to decide whether this theme should be labeled a musical misdemeanor, but then some singers very noticeably elevated Ms. Parton’s music in a gigantic way. I am late posting this week, so, let’s get to it, shall […]

I am experiencing some problems with the WordPress.Com format and so there has been a delay in the Vocal Masterclass article for the Top 9 show. Please check back often. The article is done – it is just not formatting properly on this site. 😦 Hang in everyone and thanks for your patience

I am quickly adding this post, as I am packing and organizing for an early flight back home tomorrow. I did watch the show and thought that it was just 50/50 for me in terms of the performances. Either the singers performed immensely well or they just “sleep sang” their way through Dolly Parton’s music. It […]
