I can’t believe we are down to only nine singers already. It must mean that my March vacation is coming to an end. But, it also means that I will resume my regular Vocal Masterclass articles next week and I am anxious to get back at it. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion For The Voice: Conclusion Of The Battle Rounds
March 26, 2012 
10 Comments
Thanks heavens that we are finally reaching the conclusion of The Battle Rounds with tonight’s episode of The Voice. Talk about flagging a dead horse! The road they are taking this year with this singing competition is severely flawed. There are far too many semi-finalists and, for the life of me, I cannot remember anyone […]

As I am still on vacation, Mindy Moore has capably offered to contribute her vision for the American Idol performances. And she has done so in a very timely fashion. After watching most of the performances online, I have to say that she has nailed the pros and cons of each performance. Her evaluations mirror […]

Well, wouldn’t you know it. A tribute showcase of Billy Joel’s songs is the theme for the Top 10 Showcase and I won’t be around to see it. I am still in vacation mode with family and friends so there is “no way Jose” that I will see the show on Wednesday evening. Which is […]

I will not be able to view Monday night’s conclusion of the Battle Rounds and it worries me just a tad that I don’t seem to care. This show, that started so strong and so promising, has really plummeted. Even the judges look bored and can you blame them? Last week’s offering was absolutely dismal […]

I will be missing this evening’s Results Show, so I am counting on the MCL public to add their comments and spoilers. With Jermaine Jones’ disqualification, the Top 12 quickly became 11 this week. I would like to add that I absolutely loved his pre-taped version of “Somewhere Out There”. I wish him the very […]

I am still on vacation, so Mindy has written a very perceptive Vocal Masterclass article for last evening’s Top 11 Performances. I managed to view the majority of them today online and thought that, overall, it was a tremendous show. Joshua blew me away with his passionate performance – it was singular and last night’s […]

So,it looks like Jermaine Jones is getting the ‘ole heave-ho. Whatever! As if American Idol didn’t realize his past when they introduced him to the American Idol viewers? As if? Boy, I detest this sort of drama – I really do. Is it too much to ask to just produce a valuable singing competition? Are […]

The MCL Community is blessed with very knowledgeable and extremely dedicated readers who love to contribute their perspective on the joy – and art – of singing. One such person is Mindy Moore! Immediately after the show ended, she submitted this analysis of each singer and, I have to say, it closely mirrors my Top […]

Last night’s show was a real blockbuster! There were so amazing performances that it really is hard to determine who will or will not take the American Idol crown this early in the game. However, I will say that there are six singers in this competition who are real contenders and one who leads the […]

However, I thought I would get the ball rolling by reviewing the Top 13 performances. In a nutshell, I was blown away by the majority of these singers. They are so gifted […]

Well it appears that Christina Aguilera’s Type A strategy has paid off. During the Blind Auditions, The Voice judge was the last of four judges to complete her Team of 8 singers. I was wondering where she was going in terms of voice quality but, it appears, she was going for the very best. And […]

On Monday night, the second season of the immensely popular NBC series, The Voice, begins the second phase of its competition, The Battle Rounds. This is my favorite part of the entire show because each judge must choose one of two members from their team to advance to the solo performance component of the show. […]

by Pamela Pike and Rosanne Simunovic Pamela Pike’s Recollections There’s nothing that compares when 16 year old David Archuleta arrived in San Diego, California in 2007 to audition for American Idol. He came with immense talent and excitement to find his dream, an artist working through the heart. David appeared as a singer who kept […]

Well who knew that the nail-biter of the season was going to start with these Top 25 Semi-Finalists? The judges did an excellent job choosing some magnificent talent this year. It’s hard to believe that only 13 singers will make the final cut. Last evening, I thought the majority of the Top 12 girls gave […]
