Oh be still my heart – why can’t we discover this level of talent on American Idol? I have been waiting to see a cross-genre artist on American Idol and it looks like it just isn’t going to happen. I thought this was the direction that Adam Lambert was moving toward during Season 8, […]

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 […]

I thought I would add a blog topic featuring Katharine McPhee’s Backstage With Bryan interview. It was filmed after her outstanding performance of her new single,“Terrified”, on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno. The number was written by American Idol Judge Kara DioGuardi. Katharine’s voice and presence continues to impress me; she is an extraordinary […]

Overall, the Top 20 singers enjoyed immense improvement this week. However, this is a strange season for me – I am hard-pressed to pick any early favorites, with the exception of Lilly Scott.

I was just informed by one of my readers, Louise, that tonight’s American Idol Semi-Final show will feature the Top 10 guys and not the Top 10 gals.
