I hope to catch this show tonight. I’m in Grandmother mode this week plus I have other activities competing for my attention as well so it’s going to be a PVR-kind-of-a-week! That being said, I honestly cannot drum up enough excitement for this group of singers. I think that some of the Team Captains really […]

April 28, 2012 
9 Comments
Oh yes! You can always count on David Cook to showcase outstanding vocals via his rock persona. This video, however, shows a restrained, pure vocal delivery from the David.. His vocals are brimming with head voice – pitch perfect and centered. He easily vocalizes from his true tenor range into the counter-tenor range, highlighting the […]

Special shout-out and thanks to Team DeAndre B for tweeting this low resolution poster for the American Idol Summer Tour. It looks great, doesn’t it? And look who is sitting in the front row, flanked by super-talented DeAndre and Joshua. Why – it’s Jessica! What a surprise! Now, you can draw your own conclusions but […]

It’s a big night tonight. I have no idea who is getting the old heave-ho, but there is going to be some mighty fine entertainment to take the edge off the anticipation. Scheduled to perform is American Idol Season 10 Finalist, Stefano Langone, along with the very talented Katy Perry. I love both artists and […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Given that the music was from the Queen music catalogue, I honestly thought we were headed for another scream fest this week. However, most of the singers were very crafty with their song selections, unveiling numbers that either spoke to their particular style of singing and/or allowed them to take successful risks. […]

Check out this poster for the movie, Sparkle. The movie is set for public release in August and will star Jordin Sparks and the late and great Whitney Houston. And that’s Jordin’s beautiful image in that gorgeous red dress. Will American Idol spawn another film superstar a la Jennifer Hudson? Methinks yes indeed! If, for […]

Update: A picture of the song list can be seen at the bottom of this blog topic. The Queen numbers are very predictable and so are some of the personal choices, although for one of the latter numbers, you have to fill in the blanks! Ha! Well, put on those ear plugs. The scream fest […]

Here we go again. NBC’s The Voice is shaping up to be quite the shocking little show. Who would have anticipated the live elimination of RaeLynn and Jesse Campbell by their respective coaches, Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera last week? They must know something I don’t know – like voting totals perhaps? It’s the only […]

April 21, 2012 34 Comments
When I watch this video, it absolutely blows my mind that DeAndre Brackensick was voted off American Idol Season 11 during the Top 8 Results show. You really have to laugh or else you cry. This guy is so loaded with talent he puts current superstars to shame with their auto-tune, lip-synching approach to the […]

Oh American Idol. What is happening to you? And, more important, what are your doing to these talented, dedicated singers who just want to “sing” from their hearts in a relaxed and accommodating atmosphere. This video (featured above) showcases Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet in their acclaimed duet, “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)” […]

Well, last night was quite the scream-fest, wasn’t it? Wow, are these singers messed-up or what? When did screaming become singing? I don’t blame the singers – they have been totally misguided in their quest to “connect” with their audience. One should be able to establish genuine rapport merely by sitting on a stool and […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Fourteen songs in one show! My poor fingers! And voice, thanks to the awesome new dictation feature on the new IPad. Apple rocks! But, I digress.

April 18, 2012 8 Comments
It takes a lot of star power to transfix me to a YouTube video of a Top 7 American Idol performer, especially just 2.5 hours before the airing of the Top 7 American Idol Performance Show. However, this performance by a pre-Idol Hollie Cavanagh did the trick. I was mesmerized by so many aspects of […]

Update: The “now and then” song list is shown at the end of this blog topic. Any guesses as to who is singing what? Personally, I detest most of these songs. On Wednesday, April 18th, we will have another listen to the Top 7, thanks to the sensational and controversial use of the Judges’ Save […]

David Cook can make me smile like no other. The sincerity and warmth, not only of this performance, but also with his rapport with the audience was so refreshing in this video. In this intimate and cozy environment, the acoustic performance of this song was heightened and resonated with me long after the performance was […]
