It’s always exciting to discover new talent. And Countertenor, Mikah Meyer, was enthusiastically brought to my attention via one of my former students, the very talented, Kyle Scripnick. Mikah and Kyle happen to be colleagues at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. Why all the excitement, you may ask? Well, first, Mikah is excellent at this […]

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 […]

April 7, 2010 31 Comments
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 […]

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 […]

Rodrigo Y Gabriela performed their mesmerizing guitar duo two nights ago on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. Their performance was sheer brilliance! I have never seen two pairs of hands move so frantically and, yet, so effortlessly. Their sound is wonderfully unique and creative but also extremely difficult to master. But master they did […]

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 […]

Last week, we said a fond farewell to the amiable talent known as Lacey Brown. Lacey seems like a lovely and talented young lady and if you haven’t yet enjoyed her performance and interview session on Ellen, you can do so here on Ellen Degeneres’ website. This week the Top 11, known as Aaron Kelly, Andrew […]

March 22, 2010 7 Comments
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 […]

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, […]
