So I missed part of the show this evening because of personal musical obligations. However, I did see the recap and it seemed that there were some interesting surprises within the male performances tonight. Personally, David Archuleta absolutely blows my mind when I hear the depth and maturity of his vocal skill. I thought that […]

Well. the ladies were not better or worse than the guys last evening. Like last evening’s all male performances, there were some brilliant female vocalists and some not so stellar singers. The show seemed to pick up steam midway through the two – hour song fest. Generally, all the ladies came well equipped with a solid […]

Well, let the madness begin! Is anyone else out there disappointed that the rumored Top 24 list of American Idol Season 7 does not include Cardin McKinney or Josiah Leming? I was immediately drawn to these two singers for various reasons – most of which had to do with immense talent and unique artistry. If […]

by Rosanne Simunovic Kudos to Paul Anka! He was a wonderfully supportive mentor this week and it was so good to see him work in such a positive way with these young singers. Brian Melo, I am sure speaking for all four singers, readily thanked him on stage for his valuable and informative coaching, saying […]

by Rosanne Simunovic I bet you didn’t think that I would write an article for the Top 5 performances, did you? Well, neither did I but I finally had a moment to myself and this is the result! However, before you start the read, I have to say that I absolutely adored Kelly Clarkson’s input […]

August 16, 2007 Comments Off on Vocal Masterclass For Canadian Idol Season Five Top Six Singers: Pop Rock With Maroon Five
by Rosanne Simunovic I am a little late posting the Vocal Masterclass article this week, so I will dispense with the pre-Vocal Masterclass yada yada! As I said in the Top 6 discussion post, I thought this was a great show and I stand behind my first impression. So, throw oranges and apples and whatever […]
Continue readingVocal Masterclass For Canadian Idol Season Five Top Seven Singers: The Music Of Queen
August 7, 2007 17 Comments
by Rosanne Simunovic The music of the legendary rock group, Queen, was showcased this week and I wondered how well our young singers would fare with this very difficult, extremely intense and distinctly theatrical music. This is serious music, my fellow readers, and it separates the true artist from the karaoke singer. Individuality and creativity […]

August 6, 2007 Comments Off on Vocal Masterclass Discussion For Canadian Idol’s Top Seven Singers Featuring The Music Of Queen
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 […]

Hey everyone! As I am away on holidays, I thought I would start a Discussion Thread for the Canadian Idol Top 9 Performances this evening. I may be able to see the show but will not be able to write a Vocal Masterclass article this week. Please feel free to add your comments about song […]

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 […]

July 11, 2007 4 Comments
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 […]

July 10, 2007 7 Comments
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 […]

July 4, 2007 1 Comment
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. […]
