A full week has gone by and I still I can’t believe that Amberly Thiessen has been eliminated from this competition. What a season this has become! To be absolutely blunt, this season has emerged as an uninspired and arid competition, lacking any element of artistic creativity or imagination. Perhaps, the Top 5 males will […]

Well, let’s see what we have this week. What a surprise! More rock! This week’s show features songs from the Canadian Rock Songbook. The Top 6 will be mentored by Montreal rock group, Simple Plan. I believe the show has already aired in Eastern Canada so, hopefully, I will get some comments and/or spoilers before […]

Here we go again, Canadian Idol fans. Let’s hope that the “British Invasion” theme will be a more accessible performing vehicle for our singers. I may write the odd article here and there but, given my busy schedule this summer, I won’t be able to give you full versions of my Vocal Masterclass articles for […]

I’m a little late adding this, but here we go! Will comment later and hope you do as well. Looking forward to hearing Gavin Rossdale’s mentoring techniques in this acoustic show.

Well, the jury is still on out whether this group of singers will collectively garner positive interest from the viewing public. Personally, I find this Top 9 mixture very strange, almost surreal, like something from an Idol “bizarro” world. I still don’t understand the judges’ thought process and ultimate decision in selecting some of these […]

And so it begins. Another strange season of Canadian Idol. It didn’t help that a David Bowie theme night christened this year’s Idol agenda; if anything, it contributed an even more bizarre aura to this year’s edition of Canadian Idol. I just don’t get it – I truly don’t. Theo Tams is the only developed, […]

Is it just me or do the years seem to fly by since this Idol craze invaded North America? It feels like yesterday that I was sitting here writing Vocal Masterclass articles for American Idol, followed by Canadian Idol and, yet, here I am again. And, one year older to boot! Not good! At any […]

It’s truly official. I said on the Los Angeles American Idol Tour thread that I want to adopt American Idol Season 7 runner-up, David Archuleta. Well, add Jaydee Bixby to my Christmas in July wish list. As many of my Canadian readers know, Jaydee was the Canadian Idol Season 5 runner-up in 2007. His adorable […]

The more I think about it, the more I realize that Theo Tams is in a league of his own. Not only did he give a spectacular performance during his Top 20 showcase, but also he emerged as an articulate, genuine and passionate artist. However, more so than any other contestant, he displayed stellar musical […]
Continue readingVocal Masterclass Discussion For Canadian Idol Top 20 Performances
Well, well – looks like we have some real winners on our hands early on in this Canadian Idol Season. Who might they be? Well, according to moi, they be pretty well everyone from Group 2 minus four exceptions. However, 22-year-old Theo Tams from Lethbridge Alberta and 29-year-old Omar Lunan from Scarborough, Ontario were phenomenal […]
