Honestly, I don’t know what to make of this show anymore. I am thoroughly confused. Normally, I like well-produced stage shows. However, at this stage of the competition, is the “over-the-top” production masking the true ability of the vocalist? And don’t get me started on the sound effects coming through the audio mix – some […]

Oh goodie! We’re off to Bootcamp this week on The X Factor. And apparently it is quite the uncomfortable experience. Also, the “nitty gritty”, “down and dirty” venture associated with this pressure-cooker competition is clearly laid out for all to see and enjoy. Also, Simon Cowell and LA Reid have already declared their picks for […]

I have watched this video, featured below, so many times that I’ve lost count. It really is quite the spectacle. The looks on the faces of Nicole and Paula as they tried to compute Tiah Tolliver’s vocal performance were absolutely hilarious. What a mess of an audition.

On Thursday evening, 16-year-old Jazzlyn Little drew a standing ovation from three of the judges plus a hearty accolade from fourth judge Simon for her riveting performance of Mary J. Blige’s song, “I’m Going Down“. Well, I am sure that she is not going down anywhere soon because this talented and determined little spitfire showed […]

September 28, 2011 10 Comments
The final two audition episodes of The X Factor air Wednesday, September 28th and Thursday, September 29th on Fox at 8:00 PM Eastern. I thought last week’s two episodes were pretty promising, although the tasteless joke auditions were overkill and unnecessary. If this is to be a singing competition, is it too much to ask […]

And, what a listen is was – and is – as you will soon see in the video below. This 18-year-old sweetheart of a girl with the powerhouse voice may just be the frontrunner in the inaugural season of The X Factor USA. Quite frankly, I have never heard anything quite like this in any […]

Well, tonight’s the night. The premiere of the much anticipated X Factor airs on Fox from 8:00-10:00 Eastern. The show is open to singers from the age of 12 years and up, soloists and groups. I like this concept right off the bat. It has worked for The Voice and for America’s Got Talent. The […]

Last evening, The Canadian Tenors sang Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” during the live telecast of the Emmy Awards. It accompanied a touching slideshow in tribute of television and film stars who had died during the past year. The video can be accessed below this article. It was a beautiful moment in the otherwise chaotic telecast of […]

I don’t know if y’all were experiencing sound issues during this live performance of Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. and Patti Labelle, but we were definitely hurting here in Canada. It was frustrating. All we could hear was noise mixed in with dissonant harmony. Awful! Look and listen to what we missed. Landau disrobed his Frank […]

August 29, 2011 6 Comments
It is very fitting that the first three letters in Gene Kelly’s name mirror the first three letters in the word “genius”. Because, yes indeed, his performance of “Singing In The Rain” was pure, unbridled genius. Choreographed by Gene himself, he captured the emotion of the moment so very well through his expansive body language […]

August 18, 2011 7 Comments
This clip is all sorts of brilliance. Who would have thought? And then, to find an appropriate category or tag. Somehow, a “peeing” tag would question the credibility of this blog. I was laughing along with Anderson Cooper and his witty pee puns. Enjoy!

On tonight’s show, twelve acts will gain the opportunity to move deeper into this competition on America’s Got Talent.
