Last evening, I was extremely surprised with the premiere of American Idol. It was a well-paced, intelligent evening of pure entertainment. Returning judge, Randy Jackson, was a comforting presence alongside new judges, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. All three judges displayed just the right amount of tact, humor, empathy and professionalism when dealing with the contestants. […]

[YouTube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6fKno0FVkY] In my quest to finally see David Archuleta’s Christmas 2010 performance with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, I decided to browse YouTube.Com. Instead I was treated to a very young David strutting his enormous vocal gift on Star Search. Man, this boy can sing. His gift was and is and will continue to be a […]

Can returning American Idol producer, Nigel Lythgoe, breathe new life into the rapidly dying American Idol format? Well, according to this article, it looks like the 10th season may be everything that the viewers have hoped for and more. The most intriguing new change to the show’s tired format was the revelation that the singers […]

UPDATE: This blog topic was due to be published yesterday, but, somehow, that didn’t happen. However, after last evening’s performance, I feel that Michael Grimm gave the strongest performance of the night. Last week’s America’s Got Talent Top 10 Results Show was an absolute nail-biter, wasn’t it? However, it seems that everything went as planned, although I […]

Last week’s America’s Got Talent Semi-Final Results Show solidified this year’s Top 10 performers, all of whom will be performing tonight for a place in the Top 4 Finale next week. The show has discovered some exciting new talent and the variety of excellent performances have made it difficult for viewers to decide who should […]

Last week’s America’s Got Talent Semi-Final Show was not as spectacular as I would have hoped, but, in the end, three of the four acts that should have advanced, did so. Tonight’s 12 performers will also compete for a position in the Top 10 Finals of America’s Got Talent and it promises to be a […]

Tonight’s first America’s Got Talent Semi-Final Show is finally here and not a moment too soon. I was hoping to find a list of the Group One performers, but, unfortunately, came up empty. Tonight’s 12 performers will compete for a position in the Top 10 Finals of America’s Got Talent. That’s a ton of exposure […]

August 17, 2010 10 Comments
Tonight’s America’s Got Talent Wildcard Show should be an exciting premise. It will feature 12 acts deemed worthy of a second opportunity to showcase their talent and ultimately earn them a place in the Semi-Final Show next week. Set to perform tonight are: Anna and Patryk – New Hyde Park/Maspeth, N.Y. (Ballroom Dancers) CJ Dippa – […]

Well, the kitty-cat’s out of the bag – not that it was ever in the bag for long. The rumours have flown all over the internet. In fact, Nigel Lythgoe himself inadvertently referred to American Idol during last week’s judging comments on So You Think You Can Dance. It was one of those great “oops” moments that live television loves to […]

Tonight’s two-hour telecast of America’s Got Talent will feature the Final 12 acts vying for a position in the Semi-Finals. Last week, I was excited to see Jeremy (the biker guy) advance to the Semi-Finals. He is such a humble, endearing young man and yet his act is chock full of surprising twists and turns, thus […]

Will he or won’t he? That is the question and it’s a good one, up for strong debate here on MasterclassLady.Com. And the question is: “Will Nigel Lythgoe make a timely return to American Idol Season 10 and , with him, bring higher ratings for the show “? The departure of popular yet controversial judge Simon […]

I am thoroughly enjoying America’s Got Talent this year. I think the producers and judges have discovered some great talent despite the fact that many enormously talented artists were dismissed early in the season. I was deeply impressed with Michael Grimm – his new look plus his improved vocal sound made me an immediate fan. And I […]

July 26, 2010 Comments Off on Mad World: Michael Ciufo
I was mindlessly surfing the web on this beautiful Monday morning and discovered this hauntingly beautiful version of Mad World featuring Canadian Tenor Michael Ciufo. Now, as many of you know, Season 8 American Idol Runner-Up, Adam Lambert, performed a glorious version of this song. However, I thought that Michael Ciufo, as well, brilliantly internalized […]

Last week’s show was quite predictable don’t you think? Georgia singer/musician Nate Kenyon and the amazing act known as Fighting Gravity were destined to move forward to the Top 12. The cystic fibrosis sisters, Christina and Ali, seemed a logical choice as well, while the judges moved Future Funk through to the semi-finals. I […]

I am visiting family today and hope to return before tonight’s show. In the meantime, this blog topic will provide opportunity for AGT fans to add their thoughts and comments about the first Group of 12. You will be my eyes and ears until I return later this evening. I still miss the sleight-of -hand magician. Does […]
