Tonight’s Top 7 show will be hot! hot! hot! Get out your dancing shoes everyone, because it’s Disco Fever night and and the Idols are going to get down and boogie on that stage. I hope that all of the singers are up for the challenge because disco music can be difficult for some. You really need […]

American Idol Season 8 Top 7 Vocal Masterclass Article: Music From The Movies.

By: Rosanne Simunovic I loved this theme, but Quentin Tarantino truly scares me. That face means business and some of the Idols were ready for him and others were intimidated by him. It was also great to see and hear the American Idol band under Rickey Minor on stage, front and center, as they should […]

H ere we go again. Another results night, another elimination. Any predictions? Well, I know it won’t be Adam or Danny – neither have been in the bottom 3. So, everyone else is “up for grabs”. I am really looking forward to Jennifer Hudson’s performance this evening. What a roller coaster ride of heartbreak and […]

Tuesday’s Top 7 show will feature songs chosen from the movies. Whee! What a ride this will be! I can only imagine the potpourri of songs that will be showcased in this televised show. Given the theme, there should be something for everyone and all the singers should have blast with this great format. And, […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Well, I guess the singers are allowed to have an off week, because, for me, this show lacked the glitter and pizzazz of last week’s performances. Methinks the majority of the singers are overthinking their selections – dissecting and analyzing every detail, reaching a point where the selected song becomes sterile and/or […]

W ell, who is leaving us tonight? Methinks that it’s a guy. It’s time! Ugh! The show is going to get ugly from here on in. Wonder when the judges will use the “save” option? Tonight? Never? However, on the bright side, the charming Kellie Pickler from Season 6 will be gracing the American Idol stage […]

Quite frankly, I am sick to death about the random, delusional comments about Scott MacIntyre’s contribution to the Top 10 American Idol Season. Many people feel that his visual impairment is the sole reason that he was chosen for this competition and, thus, has avoided weekly elimination. Well, I have had enough. Truly enough! He belongs […]

Tuesday’s Top 8 show will celebrate the songs that were released during the birth year of each of the Top 8 singers. So, basically, we are going to boogie to songs from the 80’s, as most of the singers were born during that decade. Only 16-year-old Allison Iraheta will be eligible to sing a song from […]

I am not here, but my blog topic is. Ahh – the wonders of technology and the fabulous WordPress.Com blogging format! As I am traveling and will be in and out of dentist chairs (ugh!) and wedding apparel stores ( my daughter is getting married in December) over the next few days, I am not unable to supply […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Because I am traveling tomorrow, I am giving the readers an abbreviated Masterclass article this week. What you see will be my real time comments after viewing tonight`s show. However, I have one word to describe tonight`s performances -brilliant! For me, all the performances were considerably strong and the individual performers improved […]

Tuesday’s Top 9 show will highlight an array of top downloaded songs from ITunes. I strongly suspect that the hugely lauded IPhone will permeate all the ads in between segments of this televised performance show. I mean – come on! Or is the theme of this show enough of a sales boost for Apple? Either […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week American Idol paid tribute to the fantastic music from the Motown Era. Legendary artist, Smokey Robinson fulfilled his role as guest mentor to perfection by working and weaving his Motown magic on the remaining 10 Finalists . I would also like to mention how absolutely exciting it was to see and hear Stevie […]

I am running late today – really late in fact! In a nutshell, I was not on the same page as the Judges last evening. How about you? Did you find them abnormally harsh? I swear the Judges were formulating their comments gathered from the rehearsal process because nothing else makes sense. Performing on the […]

Wednesday’s Top 10 show will focus on music from the Motown Era. There should be something everyone, don’t you think? Well, we shall see soon enough. I am still so upset about Alexis Grace’s elimination last week. She would have been a wonderful addition to this Top 10 and was actually one of the singers […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week’s theme show focused on the music catalogue from the Grand Ole Opry. Generally, given my classical and musical theatre background, I hold little interest in this particular theme night; however, I do respect that there is an enormous audience for this music and that spells ratings! Performance-wise, this was a splendid showcase […]

Why is the day moving some fast? Am I getting slower as I get older? Probably! Well, that was a great show last night, wasn’t it? All the singers performed exceptionally well, some better than others, grant it, but still they all came out fighting in new and different ways! The funniest moment of the […]

Tomorrow’s Top 11 show will focus on music from the Grand Ole Opry. And, in preparation for the performances, I found a comprehensive list of available Grand Ole Opry songs over at Idolforums.Com. I don’t know how accurate this list is, but let’s have some fun and try to figure out who will sing what […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Well, this was quite a night! American Idol listeners were treated to fantastic performances highlighting the musical repertoire of Michael Jackson and, for the most part, all of the Top 13 finalists delivered admirably well. Welcome, everyone, to another Vocal Masterclass season of American Idol! I have to say that this year’s […]

What a day! I am running late, but the good news is that my Vocal Masterclass Top 13 article is almost done. It should be online tomorrow. So, what’s the big surprise/twist tonight? Ooooo – I am shaking in my boots. Those producers and judges never stop, do they? And, it will be very […]

Tonight’s Top 13 show is a first for Idol. For seven straight years, the American Idol Final Group consisted of a Top 12, one of whom was eliminated each week. So it will be interesting to see how Idol re-organizes its format to accommodate the extra singer. Will they eliminate two singers at one point […]
