As previously mentioned here, Ryan Seacrest is in early talks with NBC to develop a music show at some point down the road. However, at this time, he doesn’t plan to host the new show nor does he want to compete with American Idol. He is under a $15 million a year contract with American […]

By: Jennifer Myha Welcome to my first column, everyone!

According to the New York Post, Ryan is planning to produce a reality-based performance show that will focus on artistry. He is presently in negotiations with NBC which is slowly morphing into Fox. Ryan was quoted as saying: “”It […]

I though you would enjoy this. American Idol tweeted this picture. Apparently, when an American Idol finalist is eliminated, his original contestant number is permanently retired. Isn’t that the coolest? Casey Abrams left the show last evening in his customary style and magnetic presence. Say what you want about Casey, but the man sure knew […]

I am very excited for tonight’s Top 6 Results Show. Season 9 runner-up Crystal Bowersox is performing and that should get the fans excited to tune in. I am also looking forward to hearing American Idol’s Season 10 Top 7 Finalist’s Stefano Langone’s Idol, the great Bruno Mars. I love everything about him – his sound, […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Ihave been waiting a very long time for the opportunity to hear Carole King’s music on American Idol. Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds was along for the ride, collaborating with Jimmy Iovine during the mentoring process. However, the ” cut and paste” approach to Carole King’s songs left much to be desired. Her songs need […]

April 27, 2011 4 Comments
I cracked up when I read this article from Rolling Stone Magazine. Steven really loves the “F” word, doesn’t he? I don’t know what to make of this guy. When he first made his appearance on American Idol Season 10, I thought we were in for some blunt, humorous and decisive comments. Instead he has […]

I am adding this Vlog and topic for the Top 6 show a little early because I will be busy with prior commitments over the next couple of days. Just in case I decide to add new topics in the next 24 hours or so, I will mark it as a sticky post so that […]

Yes, that’s right everyone. Despite all our mumbling and grumbling here in the MCL Community, CNN via the New York Times have reported that the ratings for American idol Season 10 have moved up the ladder. It doesn’t seem surprising though, does it? The collective singing talent is far superior to Season 9 and the […]

Well, it appears that everything old is new again. According to this article from The Huffington Post, Paula is close to signing a deal with Simon Cowell’s X-Factor show, scheduled to air in the Fall of 2011. The negotiations are still on the table, but something tells me that it’s going to happen. Now, all […]

One might just call him the Comeback Kid! It appears that Season 5 American Idol winner, Taylor Hicks, has embraced his career with tenacity and drive. According to this interesting article from The Huntsville Times, Taylor has been a busy boy and may be even more busy if his plans come to fruition. Apparently, Taylor […]

I am a little nervous about the Carole King Theme for next week’s American Idol Top 6 show. Depending what the approved song list looks like, this could be a great show or a hate show. I love and adore Carole King. She is arguably one of the greatest songwriters of all time. However, as […]

Boy, what a busy week. I am rushing this blog topic now in anticipation of tonight’s show. I am very excited. We get to see and hear Season 7 American Idol winner, David Cook. Who hasn’t missed Cookie? I sure have. And, of course, another singer is leaving us tonight. Nothing is certain and […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic What a fantastic Top 7 show! Everyone performed exceptionally well and so my critiques of the singers are less verbose than in other weeks. And while watching Jimmy Iovine interact with the singers, I was very impressed with his methodology, how relentless he was in accessing the very best attributes in all the […]

Once again, I added another one of my Vlogs to get the thought processes rolling for tonight’s Top 7 American Idol show. As this is Holy Week, I am very busy with Church services, so this was a bit of a rush job. And, oh dear, the video lighting changed toward the end of this […]

April 14, 2011 19 Comments
Who is getting the old heave-ho tonight? After last week, anything is possible so I won’t even wager an opinion at this point. The strongest performances last night came from James and Stefano, but Lauren and Scotty demonstrated enormous improvement overall. So, that leaves us with Hayley, Casey, Jacob and Paul. These four should be […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic O once again, i thought the Top 8 singers put out a splendid show last evening. I found it absolutely hilarious how many of the singers were counteracting the advice given to them by Jimmy Iovine. This was the highlight for me and I am surprised American Idol would air all this nasty stuff. […]
