Simon Cowell is never at a loss for words nor does he stumble over his sentence structure. But, I was really dismayed over this statement he made to Top 8 male contestant, Luke Menard, after Luke’s -well -“lukewarm” performance last evening. First of all, I really like Luke, but I cannot for the life of […]

March 4, 2008 
6 Comments
Well, this is it. The Top 8 guys will perform this evening, but by Thursday, two of these talented young men will no longer be a part of American Idol. It really is a tough call and, although, a couple or more male singers will be sailing through to the final Top 12 performers of […]

Similar to last evening, I was unable to see the Top 10 female performances; however, I did manage to capture the recaps at the end of the show. The ladies seemed in fine form, but it is so difficult to gain a full assessment of their performances from a 15 second clip. So, readers, I […]

So I missed part of the show this evening because of personal musical obligations. However, I did see the recap and it seemed that there were some interesting surprises within the male performances tonight. Personally, David Archuleta absolutely blows my mind when I hear the depth and maturity of his vocal skill. I thought that […]

Well, that’s that. No big surprises tonight. Hopefully the ladies will do better next week without the flu and with this first big week behind them. Ditto for the guys, yet, overall, I thought the male performances were visually and audibly more impressive than the female performances. The mother in me wanted Garrett to stay […]

Well. the ladies were not better or worse than the guys last evening. Like last evening’s all male performances, there were some brilliant female vocalists and some not so stellar singers. The show seemed to pick up steam midway through the two – hour song fest. Generally, all the ladies came well equipped with a solid […]

Well, let the madness begin! Is anyone else out there disappointed that the rumored Top 24 list of American Idol Season 7 does not include Cardin McKinney or Josiah Leming? I was immediately drawn to these two singers for various reasons – most of which had to do with immense talent and unique artistry. If […]

Today, I strolled over to the Live Tour Artists website, in an effort to see what my former vocal student, Patricia O’Callaghan, was planning for her 2007-2008 performance season. She is very busy and I will comment more on this later on in another post.However, similar to discovering gold by accident, I happened upon a […]

by Rosanne Simunovic Kudos to Paul Anka! He was a wonderfully supportive mentor this week and it was so good to see him work in such a positive way with these young singers. Brian Melo, I am sure speaking for all four singers, readily thanked him on stage for his valuable and informative coaching, saying […]

by Rosanne Simunovic I bet you didn’t think that I would write an article for the Top 5 performances, did you? Well, neither did I but I finally had a moment to myself and this is the result! However, before you start the read, I have to say that I absolutely adored Kelly Clarkson’s input […]

Who here was not enchanted by Kelly Clarkson’s mentoring strategy with our remaining five singers: Brian, Carly Rae, Dwight, Jaydee and Matt? She was a positive, yet constructive vocal coach and her youthful, genuine personality was instrumental to the successful performances of all the singers this week. This was a great show. All the singers […]

by Rosanne Simunovic I am a little late posting the Vocal Masterclass article this week, so I will dispense with the pre-Vocal Masterclass yada yada! As I said in the Top 6 discussion post, I thought this was a great show and I stand behind my first impression. So, throw oranges and apples and whatever […]

Once again, I invite your sincere and honest feedback as we move precariously toward the end of this year’s season. It’s been one rocky road, […]

August 7, 2007 17 Comments
by Rosanne Simunovic The music of the legendary rock group, Queen, was showcased this week and I wondered how well our young singers would fare with this very difficult, extremely intense and distinctly theatrical music. This is serious music, my fellow readers, and it separates the true artist from the karaoke singer. Individuality and creativity […]
