Carole King Week. Oh Dear, I Fear! Well, Maybe Not
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 […]

Well, it looks like Fox’s clever marketing strategy has paid off for American Idol Top 9 Finalist, Pia Toscano. Pia will be singing on Dancing With The Stars next week, serenading her new boyfriend, Mark Ballas as he frolics about the stage during his dance routine. And, according to TMZ, Pia will be back on […]
Continue readingVocal Masterclass Discussion For American Idol Season 10 Top 8 Results Show: Music From The Movies
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 […]
Continue readingVocal MasterClass Article For American Idol Season 10 Top 8 Singers: Music From The Movies
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. […]

Continue readingVocal Masterclass Discussion For American Idol Season 10 Top 9 Performance Show: Music From The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
I decided to add a voice blog this week and you will see that I did predict a very good show this week. I had no idea how vast the catalogue was from the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame so there should be something for everyone – listeners and singers alike. Also, a great […]
Continue readingVocal Masterclass Discussion For American Idol Season 10 Top 11 Results Show
I am adding this blog topic quickly so you can begin your speculation about tonight’s Results Show. It’s not looking too good for our little Stefano, is it? And it looks that either Paul or Thia will join them. Just when Thia and Stefano were improving. I don’t get it, but, that’s Idol for ya! The Top 11 […]
Continue readingAmerican Idol Season 10 Top 11 Vocal Masterclass Article: The Music Of Elton John
By: Rosanne Simunovic I am finally back from vacation and that means the Vocal Masterclass articles will be up and running each and every week during the American Idol Season. So, last night, the singers performed the music of Elton John. However, they only had 20 songs from which to choose. Does this make sense […]

Continue readingVocal Masterclass Discussion For The American Idol Seasion 10 Top 11 Results Show
Last night’s show was just okay for me. This is the problem as I see it – many of these Motown classics have been performed numerous times during past seasons on this show and I cannot listen to them anymore. We really need to hear and see new and exciting songs from all genres – […]

And so we continue the slow countdown toward the crowning of the American Idol Season 10 winner. Tonight’s show will feature songs made famous during the birth year of each Top 12 Finalist. Similar to last week’s personal choice theme, this generic theme should permit easy access to a song suitable to each singer’s […]

I missed the entire show last evening, but had to include this as a blog topic. Adam looks and sounds fantastic, doesn`t he? His words are crystal clear and he pours so much emotion into this song. I loved this performance so much. But, easy on the screaming, Adam. It sounds very strained. Keep that […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Before we begin, I would like to say that the Top 13 Vocal Masterclass evaluations will be shorter than those you will read as the season progresses.
