There are pivotal moments in my yearly calendar that make me jump up and down with glee. Well, actually, given my Golden Girl status, I sort of jump, maybe, once and then my legs give out. Ha! There’s Christmas and Easter and Thanksgiving and American Idol and The Voice and SMASH and anything with awards […]

Has anyone heard Phillip Phillips‘ new single, Gone, Gone, Gone? Yes? No? At any rate, you will be able to catch it live on the Thursday, March 14th American Idol Results Show. Before I listened to the song, I wondered whether the haunting arrangement we heard in his hugely successful American Idol single, Home, would […]

If last night’s show of talent is any indication of what lies ahead for American Idol Season 12, then we are in for a great season. I thought the first group of Top 40 Females were splendid, although I did feel that Isabelle should have remained in the competition. Her voice is glorious and her […]

So, here is a neat little twist this season. The Top 40 semi-finalists have the opportunity to perform before a live but pre-recorded audience in Las Vegas. I like this. Sort of America’s Got Talent ish. It will be interesting to see how the singers interact and communicate with the crowd. For me, this separates […]

February 19, 2013 10 Comments
So many singers have attempted to sing the legendary Puccini aria, Nessun Dorma, from the opera, Turandot and so many have failed to master the subtle nuances and the refined control it takes to correctly perform this song. Considered to be one- if not the most difficult song- to master, it always amazes me that […]

Well, on Wednesday night, the gals are on the line as they slug it out to gain access into the Top 20 . I have to confess that, right about now, I am waiting for the live shows to begin. But, alas, we still have three more weeks of this elimination process, so it’s a […]

This is the performance that has pre-occupied my mind all week. On Sunday, February 3rd, Jennifer Hudson and 26 angelic children from Sandy Hook Elementary School gave a beautiful and emotionally-charged performance of America The Beautiful at the Superbowl XLVII. Included with the choir members was young Nate Wheeler, brother of one of the victims, […]

I thought Wednesday’s show was very good. Many excellent singers were showcased while minimizing the vocally-challenged ones. Thank you producers! You are finally listening to us! It appears that we are going to be inundated with many excellent female vocalists this season. And they are unique – which is what many of us here in […]

Let the Award Show Season begin. Tonight, the 70th Golden Globes, precursor to the Academy Award Show, is set to enter your living rooms on NBC at 8:00 P.M. Eastern. However, unlike the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes also honor television artists as well as those from the silver screen. I missed the People’s Choice […]

The Top 4 are scheduled to perform on The X Factor Wednesday on Fox from 8:00 – 10:00 P.M. with the results to be revealed on Thursday at 8:00 P.M. I guess each act will be performing two songs apiece. Otherwise, this will be the longest show in reality show history. I can’t wait to […]

Well that was quite the Performance Show last evening, wasn’t it? All four singers came out fighting and, overall, the performances were pretty even across the board. Young Trevin Hunte faltered a bit, I thought, and I was upset for him. And, from the look on his face, he knew that his performance was not […]

Is anyone except me not surprised that Team Christina has zero singers left in this competition? As soon as Top 8 Finalist, Dez Duron, signed on with her Team, it was game over. She doesn’t play fair and, indirectly, disses the other judges and their singers. As a result, the fans ignore her and her […]
