Greyson Chance experienced his first radio interview with Ryan Seacrest on the latter’s show earlier today. It was such a great interview and, considering that not even a month has passed since Greyson posted his video on YouTube.Com, I am astounded at the maturity and composure of this young man. In addition to being immensely […]

This is my good news item of the day. And didn’t I predict this new and exciting venture for Ellen? Well, actually, I said that Ellen should start her own talent show, but this is sort of the same thing – in fact even better. She has a show already, so a record company seemed […]

I am adding this blog topic quickly. We have been suffering severe power outages, affecting internet, television and basic utility services in our area. So. Much. Fun! I will update later, I just want to press “publish” so my readers have place to gather before, during and after the Finale tonight. Can’t wait to see […]

Well, this is it for another year. No more Vocal Masterclass articles until next season – unless I decide to critique the Glee and/or America’s Got Talent performances. We`ll see – it`s getting pretty warm outside and it is becoming increasingly difficult to stay glued to a computer. Overall, Crystal and Lee sang very well, […]

Well this is it, folks! The Finale for American Idol Season 9 is here and the talented duo to be featured on stage this week are Crystal Bowersox and Lee Dewyze. Was there ever any doubt? Over the past few weeks, these two singers were deemed the chosen ones. Although, I feel that, for many […]

Well, tonight’s Top 3 Results Show will determine which singers will be featured in the Finale next Tuesday and Wednesday. But not before we are hit with a wallop of Bieber Fever courtesy of rising star and Usher’s protégé , Justin Bieber. I wasn’t a huge fan of this young man’s music; however, after watching him on Ellen’s show, […]

In past seasons, the Top 3 show has generally been less than spectacular. By this point in the competition, the singers are succumbing to the pressure of the competitive astmosphere, thinking that, in the grand scheme of things, how well they sing doesn’t seem to make a difference. Just ask Jennifer Hudson, Carly Smithson, Michael […]

We are finally down to the Final 3 competitors of American Idol Season 9: Casey James, Crystal Bowersox and Lee Dewyze. And, to the best of my knowledge, all the guest mentoring is over, allowing the singers the opportunity to work solely with the American Idol musical staff. The extra time will allow the singers to strategically […]

Well, apart from the little expletive at the beginning of this song, I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed with this performance by Top 3 American Idol Season 9 Finalist, Crystal Bowersox. “Farmer’s Daughter” is an original composition penned from the musical heart and soul of one Crystal Bowersox. If this song is any […]

I was so impressed with Jason Castro’s cover of Tom Petty”s “Learning To Fly” that I had to brag about it here on MasterclassLady.Com. He performed at Joe’s Pub in New York yesterday and, from all accounts, it was a terrific evening of music. Apparently, his manager confirmed that the New York performance was organized […]

I think Ellen Degeneres should start her own talent show. She has added a new and prolific feature to her show – the Wonderful Web Of Wonderment and has discovered remarkable talent through YouTube.com. Every day she has featured some phenomenal, undiscovered talent and will be offering $10,000 and exciting life-changing opportunities for the eventual […]

I was extremely happy to see that Oscar winner Jamie Foxx was back in action for another season of mentoring the Idol finalists. I thought he did a superb job guiding the Top 5 Idol Finalists from Season 8 during Rat Pack Week and so I was expecting no less this season. Although these singers were […]
