Update: The “now and then” song list is shown at the end of this blog topic. Any guesses as to who is singing what? Personally, I detest most of these songs. On Wednesday, April 18th, we will have another listen to the Top 7, thanks to the sensational and controversial use of the Judges’ Save […]

David Cook’s Moving Performance Of Fade Into Me At Irving Plaza, New York
April 17, 2012 
19 Comments
David Cook can make me smile like no other. The sincerity and warmth, not only of this performance, but also with his rapport with the audience was so refreshing in this video. In this intimate and cozy environment, the acoustic performance of this song was heightened and resonated with me long after the performance was […]

It’s time to get down and dirty with the Quarter-Finals on The Voice. If you think the decision-making process was difficult in the past, just you wait! The next two weeks are going to be brutal and I will be right there with my popcorn and Twitter Feed to join in on the fun and […]

April 15, 2012 51 Comments
Look at this picture. Are the American Idol judges and host, Ryan Seacrest, looking into the eyes of a future superstar? Only time will tell but, here in the MCL community, a viewer recently shared a very interesting perspective on why Jessica Sanchez received the lowest number of votes this past week during the Top […]

UPDATE Shocking result tonight as tweeted by both Ryan Seacrest and Nigel Lythgoe. Also from TMZ.Com. Being compared to Jennifer Hudson’s shocking elimination back in Season 3. And, what a coincidence, she happens to be on the show tonight. Oh Idol – you and your scripted results! Tonight is “The Save” night. Either tonight or […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Did you enjoy the show this week? I did, although I have to say that some of these singers fared better than others. But then, what else is new? Nothing is ever predictable from week to week and, without DeAndre in the mix, I feel that the light is burning a little […]

Yikes! I am glad I was on vacation and missed this airing of The Voice’s Battle Rounds. This was painful times a zillion to watch and listen. Is it any wonder that Adam Levine was at a loss for words and laughing uncontrollably? Factor into this Blake’s sexual comments toward Erin plus Christina’s obscenity and […]

Well, no DeAndre for me tonight! I am still reeling over his elimination last week but, having watched him on all the talk shows, I know he will be just fine. I so loved Jay Leno’s words of encouragement and support for Dre’s exceptional talent. It bodes very well for his future success in the […]

In the midst of all the singing competitions, if you feel that you need to be reminded about what a passionate and gifted singer sounds like, then press play on the video above. I guarantee you that David Archuleta’s performance of his new song, “Forevermore” will move you in a very special way. He sings […]

Well, this should be a nail-biter. Last night’s show was quite good and some of these singers really surprised me with the strength of their conviction and their stellar song selections. So, this elimination is going to be a very sad one all round. However, on a happier note, Kellie Pickler will be gracing the […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic I am back from my month long vacation and ready to roll with my weekly Vocal Masterclass articles. And, once again, I would like to publicly thank Mindy Moore for her excellent reviews of the singers during my absence. I know all of us truly appreciated reading her evaluations – they were […]

By Pamela Pike and Rosanne Simunovic – Top 20 Pamela Pike’s Recollections In February 2008, David Archuleta took a risk and chose to sing a beautiful, yet haunting melody by John Lennon “Imagine”. It is possibly one of the most beautiful works of art ever written. Words can’t describe the emotion connected with this song. […]

Alrighty now everybody. I am back from vacation and, although missing the warm and relaxed ambience of my vacation environment, there is something to be said about being back in the comfort of your own home. And, oh yes, writing those Vocal Masterclass articles. Time for some Masterclass Lady love, although my girl Mindy Moore […]

I am late adding a blog topic for tonight’s show. I just tuned in myself and saw Naia Kete perform. I wasn’t very impressed with what I heard so maybe I didn’t miss too much. It’s almost Prime Time in TV Land here, so I am betting that the pace will pick up at 9:00 […]

I can’t believe we are down to only nine singers already. It must mean that my March vacation is coming to an end. But, it also means that I will resume my regular Vocal Masterclass articles next week and I am anxious to get back at it. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t […]

March 26, 2012 10 Comments
Thanks heavens that we are finally reaching the conclusion of The Battle Rounds with tonight’s episode of The Voice. Talk about flagging a dead horse! The road they are taking this year with this singing competition is severely flawed. There are far too many semi-finalists and, for the life of me, I cannot remember anyone […]

As I am still on vacation, Mindy Moore has capably offered to contribute her vision for the American Idol performances. And she has done so in a very timely fashion. After watching most of the performances online, I have to say that she has nailed the pros and cons of each performance. Her evaluations mirror […]

Well, wouldn’t you know it. A tribute showcase of Billy Joel’s songs is the theme for the Top 10 Showcase and I won’t be around to see it. I am still in vacation mode with family and friends so there is “no way Jose” that I will see the show on Wednesday evening. Which is […]

March 19, 2012 Comments Off on Vocal Masterclass Discussion For The Voice: Conclusion Of The Battle Rounds
I will not be able to view Monday night’s conclusion of the Battle Rounds and it worries me just a tad that I don’t seem to care. This show, that started so strong and so promising, has really plummeted. Even the judges look bored and can you blame them? Last week’s offering was absolutely dismal […]

I will be missing this evening’s Results Show, so I am counting on the MCL public to add their comments and spoilers. With Jermaine Jones’ disqualification, the Top 12 quickly became 11 this week. I would like to add that I absolutely loved his pre-taped version of “Somewhere Out There”. I wish him the very […]
