Thought I would add a Mother’s Day thread. I think we all need a little break from American Idol, at least for a few hours anyway! Hope all of the Moms out there are being treated like royalty. I am proud to be a Mom and a Grandmother. The picture I have inserted with this […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Well, I am back once again and I thank all my readers for their “get well” wishes. I thoroughly appreciated your feedback and comments after Neil Diamond week. That was a great show, wasn’t it? Great performances and Neil Diamond was THE MAN on the Results show last week. Brilliant performance! However, […]

Well, let’s hear your comments. Was there a moment or two or three during this evening’s much anticipated Top 4 showcase? I was thrilled with the singers tonight. This was the best I have heard any of them sing in a long while. Bravo and Brava~ Vocal Masterclass will be up in the next day […]

Although I am still feeling the repercussions of this evil flu virus, I am slowly trying to gain some sense of normalcy in my life. Therefore, I thought I would start a new discussion regarding our Final Four: David Archuleta, David Cook, Jason Castro and Syesha Mercado – four truly distinct singers whose performances will […]

I have been so sick here with some wicked flu and thought that nothing would garner any strength or comment from me for a while. Additionally, I wasn’t able to watch the Top 5 show because of my malaise, but this morning, after reading all the vague “Paula-Jason” comments on my Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread, […]

I am looking forward to the show tonight. I really love Neil Diamond. I was fortunate to see him in concert years ago and he staged a superb show. He is a passionate, intense performer and absolutely adores and respects his audience. So, I think he will give these singers excellent advice on what it […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Personally, this week’s show was one of the highlights of the American Idol 7th season. The opportunity to watch and learn from Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s interaction with the Top 6 was indeed an exciting and memorable one. I thought Andrew Lloyd Webber was absolutely amazing and tirelessly patient with these singers. […]

It’s Andrew Lloyd Webber night and I have the flu. So, I will be watching the show from the comfort of my bed. I love his music and nothing – I tell you – nothing will deter me from experiencing this show. Hopefully, the performances will cure all ills – especially mine – because I […]

When I listened to the opening refrains of “Ave Maria”, I was actually worried. Kelly sounded a bit breathy and fragmented within her approach to her phrase lines. However, Kelly being Kelly, the end result was absolutely glorious. She added some lovely vocal embellishments during the second verse of this song. Yet, in the end, […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic The Top 7 singers performed exceptionally well this week, and, on a couple of occasions, I was pleasantly surprised by some of the performances. I thought Mariah Carey was absolutely wonderful with the singers, providing constructive and positive support to all of them. It cannot be easy to work with this year’s […]

I really loved tonight’s show – but, until my Vocal Masterclass article is completed, I will refrain from voicing my favorites. However, I will say that Mariah Carey seemed like a wonderful mentor – very supportive and kind to all the singers. Please share your comments.

By: Rosanne Simunovic What a jam-packed week. Idol Gives Back has become bigger than ever and the performances, collages and tributes last evening were outstanding and deeply moving. But, I am here to discuss the Top 8 performances of inspirational songs. It was, generally, a pretty solid night of singing, but some of the singers […]

I thought that the singers performed very well this evening, but,once again, I am confused over the judges’ treatment of Syesha. It is a real head scratcher and it is blatantly clear that the judges do not have a strong affinity for this young lady. Their comments have become personal and subjective and in no […]

April 4, 2008 25 Comments
By: Rosanne Simunovic Well, this week’s showcase was a mixed bag of tricks, wasn’t it? I was trying to decide whether this theme should be labeled a musical misdemeanor, but then some singers very noticeably elevated Ms. Parton’s music in a gigantic way. I am late posting this week, so, let’s get to it, shall […]

I am experiencing some problems with the WordPress.Com format and so there has been a delay in the Vocal Masterclass article for the Top 9 show. Please check back often. The article is done – it is just not formatting properly on this site. 😦 Hang in everyone and thanks for your patience

I am quickly adding this post, as I am packing and organizing for an early flight back home tomorrow. I did watch the show and thought that it was just 50/50 for me in terms of the performances. Either the singers performed immensely well or they just “sleep sang” their way through Dolly Parton’s music. It […]

Who is leaving us tonight? I think we may have a shocker on our hands. Between the negative commmentary from the judges and the less than adequate performance last evening, does this mean that Jason’s time on Idol is approaching the final phase? All of the other singers have showed tremendous growth and promise in the […]

As I write this, I am a few hours away from boarding a plane enroute to Florida. The warm weather and hours of relaxation will be most welcome. As, I stated in my last Vocal Masterclass article for the Top 11, I will not be writing a formal Vocal Masterclass article for the Top 10 […]

AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 7 TOP 11 VOCAL MASTERCLASS: THE LENNON McCARTNEY SONGBOOK PART DEUX By: Rosanne Simunovic This week, some of my all time favourite Lennon-McCartney songs were highlighted and, generally, the Top 11 singers were in excellent form.
