Last week, the lovely and talented Didi Benami was eliminated from American Idol. Based on her talent and her drive, it seemed to me to be an untimely elimination but it certainly is not the first time that a gifted singer has been unfairly eliminated early on in the competition. However, we do wish her the very best in her singing career. I can […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week’s American Idol theme was R& B Music. And the Idols were fortunate to be in the company of Usher as mentor.

Last week, the adorable Paige Miles was eliminated from one of the coveted positions in the Top 10. It really is a shame, she really does have a beautiful voice, but her illness coupled with her inability to cope with her performance anxiety closed the door on this tremendous opportunity. Hopefully, she will use her […]

I am absolutely thrilled that Usher will be mentoring the Idols on Tuesday, March 30th during their Top 10 R&B performances. I am hoping to see some keen and educational mentoring from Usher.

Continue readingA Masterclass Plea To the American Idol Judges: Please – No More Comparisons!
Personally, I have had my fill of pointless comparisons of this year’s crop of singers to those who have previously competed on American Idol. I know I have stated that Seasons 5 and 7 were exceptional seasons and difficult to capture on a yearly basis, but, except for one instance (Siobhan/Adam), I have attempted to […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week’s American Idol theme was Billboard #1 Hits. That being said, logic would dictate that each of the singers – barring clearance issues – would have an equal opportunity to select songs suited to their artistic style and substance. However the question is: Were they all successful and were there some surprising results […]

Well, sorry to burst anyone’s bubble, but, after hearing this ITunes performance of “Wild Horses” from Top 11 American Idol 9 Finalist Katie Stevens, methinks this talented young lady is going to be around for a while. Her voice is wonderfully refined and, yet, she has a natural inclination to artistically bend and mold her […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Before we begin, I would like to say that the Top 12 Vocal Masterclass evaluations will be shorter than those you will read as the season progresses. As I begin more familiar with the singers and, hopefully, notice changes in their vocal and performance technique, then the critiques will become more detailed […]
