Vocal Masterclass Discussion For Season 3 Of The Voice: The Finale


It was hard for me to add this blog topic this week. The tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary School have left me despondent and disheartened. However, maybe a little music and craziness – the good kind – will put a little smile in our hearts and on our faces. A little one. So, in […]

The Top 4 are scheduled to perform on The X Factor Wednesday on Fox from 8:00 – 10:00 P.M. with the results to be revealed on Thursday at 8:00 P.M. I guess each act will be performing two songs apiece. Otherwise, this will be the longest show in reality show history. I can’t wait to […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion For Season 3 Of The Voice: The Top Four Results Show


Well that was quite the Performance Show last evening, wasn’t it? All four singers came out fighting and, overall, the performances were pretty even across the board.

Vocal Masterclass Discussion For Season 3 Of The Voice: The Top Six Perform


Is anyone except me not surprised that Team Christina has zero singers left in this competition? As soon as Top 8 Finalist, Dez Duron, signed on with her Team, it was game over. She doesn’t play fair and, indirectly, disses the other judges and their singers. As a result, the fans ignore her and her […]
