May 4, 2006 Comments Off on VOCAL MASTER CLASS: TOP 5 AMERICAN IDOL 5 FINALISTS: CELEBRATING PAST AND PRESENT SONGS THAT TOPPED THE BILLBOARD CHARTS
BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC It’s the Top 5 showcase and, unlike previous weeks, the singers were required to utilize their own artistic resources in the selection and interpretation of their songs. No guest artists, no guest vocal coaches, no specific themes or genres! This week, the Top 5 were able to select two songs each, the […]

April 27, 2006 Comments Off on VOCAL MASTER CLASS: TOP 6 AMERICAN IDOL 5 FINALISTS: CELEBRATING CLASSIC LOVE SONGS WITH THE LEGENDARY SINGER ANDREA BOCELLI AND PRODUCER DAVID FOSTER
BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC I cannot tell you how excited I was to see and hear the great Andrea Bocelli interacting with the remaining six singers on American Idol. What would the classically trained Andrea think of our eclectic mix of singers, collectively representing country, rock, soul, R&B, Broadway, and mainstream pop genres? This is one […]

April 20, 2006 Comments Off on VOCAL MASTER CLASS: TOP 7 AMERICAN IDOL 5 FINALISTS: CELEBRATING THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK WITH RETRO ROD STEWART
BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC This week’s showcase highlighted my favorite genre of music: the big band era. Chart topper Rod Stewart escalated a huge comeback when he envisioned the success of his Great American Songbook CDs. Although his voice does not possess a vast dynamic range, his soothing vocal style suits this music quite well and […]

April 13, 2006 Comments Off on VOCAL MASTER CLASS: TOP 8 AMERICAN IDOL 5 FINALISTS CELEBRATING THE MUSIC OF QUEEN
BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC This week’s showcase championed the music of legendary rock group, Queen. There has been a lot of buzz on the message boards and throughout the media about this Top 8 show. This is, for me, one of the highlights of this or any Idol season. Queen’s music is an eclectic mix of […]

BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC MAY 19TH, 2005 Last week, I stated that I sincerely hoped that our Final Three could bring a higher level of star quality and musical standard to the Idol stage, as I felt that the competition had waned since the premature elimination of some of the previous competitors of this year’s Top […]

BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC MAY 12TH, 2005 Welcome to the Final Four Vocal Master Class. I have to be quite honest here! After watching this week’s show, I came away extremely disappointed in the caliber of the performances from three out of the four remaining singers. It was very uninspiring, to say the very least, and […]

BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC MAY 5TH, 2005 Well, last week “hell officially froze” over and “pigs learned how to fly”, as imminent superstar Constantine Maroulis was ridiculously eliminated during the American Idol Top 6 results show. What can I say? Like Nadia Turner’s elimination a couple of week’s ago, Constantine’s dismissal from the clutches of the […]

BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC APRIL 21ST, 2005 First of all, I would like to send a shout –out to all the devoted fans of Top 8 eliminated singer, Nadia Turner. This has to be one of the most baffling and ridiculous eliminations in Idol history and I feel that the Idol franchise has lost a valuable […]

BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC APRIL 14TH, 2005 The Top 8 American Idol finalists had a great time this week performing songs that made their musical debut in the same year that coincided with their birth year!

BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC APRIL 6TH, 2005 This week I was confronted with a nasty flu virus and, originally, was not able to write a Master Class evaluation for the Top 9. However, feeling a little rejuvenated over the past 24 hours, I thought I would submit comments based on my memory of the Top 9 […]

BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC March 30th, 2005 We finally have our Top 10 American Idol 4 Finalists. I was actually surprised by some performances and dismayed by others this week; however, all the singers came out fighting, I feel, and, really worked tremendously hard on the stage to present the best performance possible. Personally, it is […]

BY: ROSANNE SIMUNOVIC March 23rd, 2005 Here we are once again! Week Two was a great showcase – so good, in fact that the American Idol producers decided to repeat it and postpone the Results show. Apparently, the wrong voting numbers were flashed on the screen at the end of the show and, so, we […]
