During the course of this 10-minute video, the incomparable David Foster uttered: “Rehearsals are highly over-rated”. Well indeed they are, especially when the performers are Mr. Foster, Lionel Richie and rising star, Fernando Varela. This video was recorded on April 30th, 2012 at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles. In this intimate environment, […]

So now what indeed? Do these two talented singers have any chance at all to succeed in the music business? This season’s version of American Idol had the lowest ratings ever in the history of the show.

When I first saw Phillip Phillips perform his first audition, my initial reaction was that he could be the ONE! He had all the quirky, yet humble ingredients that served other male winners very well. He reminded me of a younger version of Season 5 winner, Taylor Hicks, and we all know how that season […]

How strange! ;This blog topic is publishing nicely, unlike my last one about Phillip Phillip’s outstanding performance of “Home” last evening. And, I can’t link to it because the technical glitch of “linking” is the problem. I just realized this when I was typing these opening words. Weird. Weird!. Update: All fixed! More updates at […]

C’mon! You know you want to press the play button on the video featured above. I have already played it several times. It’s that beautiful. Yesterday evening, Phillip Phillips gave a wonderful rendition of the song, “Home”. If he wins, it will be released as a single but part of me is thinking that it […]

I am adding this VM Discussion topic early for a couple of reasons. First of all, I wanted to remind everyone that American Idol Performance Finale is on Tuesday, May 22nd from 8:00 – 9:00 P.M., followed by the gala Finale Results show on Wednesday, May 23rd from 8:00 – 10:00 P.M.

Happy Victoria Day to my fellow Canadians! I hope you are enjoying the last day of your three-four week holiday. Because of the extremely hot weather and lack of rain, major fires broke out last evening on the outskirts of our town and surrounding area. It has been just a horrible catastrophe but, thankfully, the […]

May 21, 2012 2 Comments
Oh darn! I wish I could say that I love this song, but I don’t. And, it has nothing to do with the singing talent. I mean between the late Whitney Houston and Jordin Sparks, there was more than enough vocal power with which to work. But, at the end of the day, the song […]

On Thursday, May 17th, Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips learned that they would advance to the Top 2 Performance Finale. When taking into consideration the performances during this week’s Top 3 Performance Show, it was a bit of a shocker to hear that Jessica would advance. Both Joshua Ledet and Phillip Phillips received consistently positive […]

Does anybody out there have any idea what is going on with this show this year? I thought for sure they wanted a female winner but after last evening’s performance show, it seems like a distant memory. It doesn’t take an expert to figure out that talented little Jessica Sanchez was railroaded this week when […]

Another musical icon has died. The great singing talent, Donna Summer passed away today at the age of 63 years after a battle with lung cancer, a disease she reportedly contracted after inhaling fumes from the horrific 9/11 attack. Horrible to read and even worse to type. I wonder how many others have suffered or […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week, our Top 3 performed three songs apiece – their Personal Choice, Judges’ Choice and Record Producer Jimmy Iovine’s Choice. This was, as expected, a very big week for this triumvirate. They were grandly treated to individual homecomings, where they had time to visit, perform and thank their hometown supporters. This […]

Spoiler Below: Picture Of Song Picks Below Article. Source: MJsBigBlog.Com Ugh! Just ugh! I am so underwhelmed with this show right about now. So many great singers were eliminated much too early in the competition (Shannon and DeAndre) or else unfairly treated until they were eliminated (DeAndre and Hollie). This is not to undermine the […]

You have to laugh or else you’ll cry. Recently Jennifer Lopez was interviewed on The JohnJay And Rich Morning Show. During this interview she was asked to select a Top 12 contestant she would sign to a recording contract if she had her own record label. Well, guess whose name popped out of her mouth? […]

My bet is on Katharine McPhee! It seems logical, somehow. However, because that choice seems too logical, perhaps the producers will opt for Megan Hilty. Ether way, it is one or the other. Boy, am I addicted to this show! Everything about it appeals to me – the actors, the storyline, the Broadway music and, […]
