Well after last week’s The Voice show, I think it’s safe to say that Team Christina smoked Team Blake. Christina has been extremely crafty while building her team of singers. She can now boast four distinct singers for the quarter-finals, evenly divided between genders. And all are very strong. They mean business! Tonight’s show should […]

Well, this should be a nail-biter. Last night’s show was quite good and some of these singers really surprised me with the strength of their conviction and their stellar song selections. So, this elimination is going to be a very sad one all round. However, on a happier note, Kellie Pickler will be gracing the […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic I am back from my month long vacation and ready to roll with my weekly Vocal Masterclass articles. And, once again, I would like to publicly thank Mindy Moore for her excellent reviews of the singers during my absence. I know all of us truly appreciated reading her evaluations – they were […]

By Pamela Pike and Rosanne Simunovic – Top 20 Pamela Pike’s Recollections In February 2008, David Archuleta took a risk and chose to sing a beautiful, yet haunting melody by John Lennon “Imagine”. It is possibly one of the most beautiful works of art ever written. Words can’t describe the emotion connected with this song. […]

I can’t believe we are down to only nine singers already. It must mean that my March vacation is coming to an end. But, it also means that I will resume my regular Vocal Masterclass articles next week and I am anxious to get back at it. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t […]

Thanks heavens that we are finally reaching the conclusion of The Battle Rounds with tonight’s episode of The Voice. Talk about flagging a dead horse! The road they are taking this year with this singing competition is severely flawed. There are far too many semi-finalists and, for the life of me, I cannot remember anyone […]

As I am still on vacation, Mindy Moore has capably offered to contribute her vision for the American Idol performances. And she has done so in a very timely fashion. After watching most of the performances online, I have to say that she has nailed the pros and cons of each performance. Her evaluations mirror […]

Well, wouldn’t you know it. A tribute showcase of Billy Joel’s songs is the theme for the Top 10 Showcase and I won’t be around to see it. I am still in vacation mode with family and friends so there is “no way Jose” that I will see the show on Wednesday evening. Which is […]

March 19, 2012 Comments Off on Vocal Masterclass Discussion For The Voice: Conclusion Of The Battle Rounds
I will not be able to view Monday night’s conclusion of the Battle Rounds and it worries me just a tad that I don’t seem to care. This show, that started so strong and so promising, has really plummeted. Even the judges look bored and can you blame them? Last week’s offering was absolutely dismal […]

I will be missing this evening’s Results Show, so I am counting on the MCL public to add their comments and spoilers. With Jermaine Jones’ disqualification, the Top 12 quickly became 11 this week. I would like to add that I absolutely loved his pre-taped version of “Somewhere Out There”. I wish him the very […]

I am still on vacation, so Mindy has written a very perceptive Vocal Masterclass article for last evening’s Top 11 Performances. I managed to view the majority of them today online and thought that, overall, it was a tremendous show. Joshua blew me away with his passionate performance – it was singular and last night’s […]

So,it looks like Jermaine Jones is getting the ‘ole heave-ho. Whatever! As if American Idol didn’t realize his past when they introduced him to the American Idol viewers? As if? Boy, I detest this sort of drama – I really do. Is it too much to ask to just produce a valuable singing competition? Are […]

March 8, 2012 1 Comment
Last night’s show was a real blockbuster! There were so amazing performances that it really is hard to determine who will or will not take the American Idol crown this early in the game. However, I will say that there are six singers in this competition who are real contenders and one who leads the […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic I am presently on vacation for the month of March, so I may miss a couple of Vocal Masterclass submissions. However, I thought I would get the ball rolling by reviewing the Top 13 performances. In a nutshell, I was blown away by the majority of these singers. They are so gifted […]

I am on vacation here but will try to keep up with all the blog topics associated with American Idol. That being said, we are off to the races once again. I am loving this Top 13 so much and it is very nice to see that the show is unfolding in an unbiased manner. […]

Well it appears that Christina Aguilera’s Type A strategy has paid off. During the Blind Auditions, The Voice judge was the last of four judges to complete her Team of 8 singers. I was wondering where she was going in terms of voice quality but, it appears, she was going for the very best. And […]

On Monday night, the second season of the immensely popular NBC series, The Voice, begins the second phase of its competition, The Battle Rounds. This is my favorite part of the entire show because each judge must choose one of two members from their team to advance to the solo performance component of the show. […]

Well who knew that the nail-biter of the season was going to start with these Top 25 Semi-Finalists? The judges did an excellent job choosing some magnificent talent this year. It’s hard to believe that only 13 singers will make the final cut. Last evening, I thought the majority of the Top 12 girls gave […]
