By: Rosanne Simunovic This week, our Top 4 celebrated the music of Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees. As much I love and respect the music of these legendary performers, I just found this to be a strange thematic selection for everyone. This music is very difficult to perform as a soloist and, by the […]

As I have encountered a musical emergency here in Timmins, it may not be possible to submit a Vocal Masterclass article for the encore performance of our Top 6. I have to step in to play keyboard for the musical, “Anything Goes”, as the original keyboard player just received news that her father died unexpectedly. […]

Here we go everyone. Let’s have a round table discussion regarding tonight’s enormously successful Idol Gives Back special.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I thought the show this evening was absolutely a moving and memorable experience. The performances were extremely well done; however the video footage was extremely disturbing and educational at the same time. I hope that an unbelievable amount of money is raised to benefit these children who are […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Well, thank heavens for Country Music week. I am not a huge country fan, but I do like the crossover appeal of many of the songs from this genre, as well as the fact that, like the song classics from the big band era, the lyrical and melodic components of many of […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week, our Final 8 interpreted the Latin genre of music through the guidance of guest artist, Jennifer Lopez. This style of music emphasizes the rhythmic elements, which are always very contagious and infectious, encouraging the artist to develop a choreographic approach to his or her performing style. That being said, I […]

What a disappointing week. These singers looked completely disoriented on stage during their Latin showcase. Makes me wonder what is happening behind the scenes. It can’t be good. Until the Vocal Masterclass article is online, please feel free to voice your comments. However – be nice.

By: Rosanne Simunovic Before we begin, one reader wrote and suggested that I write separate Vocal Masterclass articles for each singer, so that the comments for each contestant could remain separate from the rest. I did fully intend to do this, beginning with the Top 11; however, with further thought, I realized that, because of […]
