By: Rosanne Simunovic This week’s American Idol theme was one of my favorites. It was Elvis Week and the timeless quality of his music is always cause for celebration. However, with Season 8 Runner-Up, Adam Lambert acting as mentor for the Top 9 singers, his presence added further performance fuel to the artistic fire. The […]

Wwell, I must say that Adam Lambert’s brilliant mentoring skills saved the show last evening! It was wonderful to hear actual technical terms like “head voice” being mentioned during the coaching process. He was very blunt and honest with these singers, yet supportive as well. I appreciated this approach very much. Adam gave the singers some […]

Thanks to Sony BMG for sending this newsletter. Lots of great Adam news for the MCL readers. Still no word on a theme but rumor has it that it will be Elvis with a dose of Cirque de Soleil thrown in! (shrugs) I know – confusing – but then this whole season has been confusing. Enjoy! […]

Vocal prodigy, David Archuleta, made another triumphant return to the American Idol stage during Season 9’s Top 9 Results Show on April 7th. Seated quietly at the piano, he performed another inspiring version of John Lennon’s “Imagine”, once again reminding all of us that he is a force to be reckoned with. The sophistication and […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week’s American Idol theme was focused on the weath of music penned by legendary artists, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. So, suffice it to say that the singers were treated to a wealth of musical riches in the song selection process. I could not imagine any of the singers experiencing problems in terms of uncovering […]

What a terrific show last evening! It always seems to me that the music of Lennon and McCartney brings out the very best in all the singers. Many of these singers have worked extremely hard to prepare for this show and their hard work paid off. There were so many wonderful performances but I thought […]

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. Usher brought his uniquely gifted style and undeniable substance to American Idol, expertly guiding and ushering the singers to exciting new levels of performance. Just an aside, I loved […]

So, who is leaving us tonight? Hard to say but I would be surprised if yet another girl was eliminated this week. I am looking forward to Usher’s performance tonight, along with a performance by American Idol Season 2 winner, Ruben Studdard. Long time, no see! Hope to comment further this evening as the […]

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. He certainly comes equipped with a ton of performing experience mixed in with an artistic confidence that is truly singular. Then, during the Results Show […]

March 25, 2010 51 Comments
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, as the song goes, it’s “So long, farewell, auf weidersehn, goodbye” for one of the Top 11 singers. It is going to be heart-breaking to come so close to achieving a spot on the Top 10, only to be eliminated at the final hour of judgement. I am running a little late today, so […]

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 […]
