Let the pyrotechnics begin. I am sure there will be a ton of glitz and glamour during tonight’s show. Given the theatrically driven music that encompasses Queen’s unique and passionate vocal style, no expense will be spared by CTV and the Canadian Idol franchise. I hope and pray these singers have done their homework, because […]

by Rosanne Simunovic I had a great vacation last week and feel extremely rested. I am ready to resume additional Vocal Masterclass articles for this year’s Top 8 singers on Canadian Idol. It was a pleasure to see Enrique’s mentoring system with our Group of Eight. He was an excellent resource for them, although I […]

by Rosanne Simunovic Well, after a two year hiatus, I will be here periodically to lend Vocal Masterclass evaluations to this year’s Top 10 singers of Canadian Idol Season Five. Next week, I am on holidays and will not be able to comment on the singers’ performances. However, this week’s Top 10 performances nourished this […]

by Rosanne Simunovic You go girls! What a show last evening. I walked away from these performances more confused than ever. I cannot remember such a strong line-up of female singers, each representing a diverse array of genres and styles. It appears that each and every one of these singers know who they are as […]

by Rosanne Simunovic This week’s Top 7 male performances were extremely strong. All of these guys deserve Top 10 status, but we know that two will be, heartbreakingly, eliminated. What can you do? That’s Canadian Idol and I have to applaud the judges for choosing singers that celebrate the depth and diversity of our Country’s […]

So, I was browsing the internet today and look what I found. It’s a much younger Debra Byrd, Voice Coach for American Idol and Canadian Idol, singing with Barry Manilow at the piano, with Dana Robbins on saxophone. It was recorded live in 1988. This song mesmerized me . It was a spectacular performance and […]

by Rosanne Simunovic So, I decided to write an abbreviated Vocal Masterclass article for the Top Nine ladies of Canadian Idol Season Five. I feel that, for the most part, they needed a wee bit more direction than their male counterparts. However, the judging this week was very good and, although I didn’t agree 100% […]

July 3, 2007 Comments Off on Canadian Idol Season Five:Our Top Nine Male Singers Start To Shine
Well,well, well! Last evening’s Top 9 Canadian Idol showcase was a very pleasant revelation indeed. The remaining nine male vocalists decided it was time to “kick it up a notch”. Given the extremely abbreviated performance time frame, I was treated to a glimmer of the future when this year’s Top 10 is a finalized product. […]

Do you feel the excitement in the air? I do. This year, our illustrious team of judges worked extremely hard to ensure the success of Canadian Idol Season Five. As we anticipate the Top 22 performances, beginning with the Top 11 male singers this evening, the Toronto boot camp auditions defined the depth and diversity […]

Rumour has it that Canadian Idol is looking for a certifiable rockstar this year. I don’t know if this is true, but, if so, then they are definitely making a smart move in the right direction. Canadian Idol has yet to crown a genuine rockstar as the winner in any season and, although Season 2 […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week our Final 3 singers showcased the traditional song selections at this stage of the competition: Judge’s Choice, Producer’s Choice and Personal Choice. I can imagine that a great deal of mentoring, arranging and coaching have been percolating throughout the Idol camp this week. Don’t you wish you were a fly […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Before we begin, one reader wrote and suggested that I write separate Vocal Masterclass articles for each singer, so that the comments for each contestant could remain separate from the rest. I did fully intend to do this, beginning with the Top 11; however, with further thought, I realized that, because of […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Here we go everybody. We are on our way to crowning the next American Idol. This week, we added another diva to the mix when the legendary Diana Ross appeared as a coach and mentor to this season’s 12 performers. The original Dreamgirl had plenty to say to these young artists. Her […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic The Top 8 female singers finalized this segment of the competition with their artistic flourish and professionalism.

American Idol Season Six: Vocal Masterclass For The Top 8 Male Performances By: Rosanne Simunovic For two of these young singers, this will be the end of their performing experience on American Idol.

Some of these singers gave outstanding premiere performances and indeed solidified the depth of talent in this year’s crop of female talent.

By: Rosanne Simunovic What an opening week for the 12 ladies of American Idol Season Six. I can’t remember seeing so many outstanding performances in one evening during the first round of semi-finals. I could have listened to these talented females for hours: they were extremely unique and, generally, very well prepared. Many stars were […]

February 22, 2007 Comments Off on Top 12 Ladies Of American Idol: Brava Divas!
What an wonderful evening of entertainment. The Top 12 Ladies of American Idol were simply outstanding. I felt I was watching a more sophisticated and polished version of American Idol than the one viewed last evening featuring our Top 12 Male Contenders. It is hard to know where to start. There were show stoppers galore, […]

By: Rosanne SimunovicAnd so, another season begins! Welcome back everyone! This is the first time I have analyzed the Top 24 contenders for American Idol, therefore the format will be quite different than the one used for the Top 12 Finalists. Due to time constraints, the “strengths” and “critique” portions of the individual masterclass assessment […]
