Canadian Idol Is Ready To Rock
May 29, 2007 10 Comments
Rumour has it that Canadian Idol is looking for a certifiable rockstar this year. I don’t know if this is true, but, if so, then they are definitely making a smart move in the right direction. Canadian Idol has yet to crown a genuine rockstar as the winner in any season and, although Season 2 […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic We have finally reached the end of the Idol road, but, for Blake and Jordin, this is the auspicious beginning of their musical career. American Idol has afforded them a tremendous opportunity for exposure and promotion and we can only anticipate the wonderful things in store for them in their post Idol […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week our Final 3 singers showcased the traditional song selections at this stage of the competition: Judge’s Choice, Producer’s Choice and Personal Choice. I can imagine that a great deal of mentoring, arranging and coaching have been percolating throughout the Idol camp this week. Don’t you wish you were a fly […]

I know this discussion thread will be hopping before, after and during the Top 3 performances this evening. So, let’s get the ball rolling. Post any relevant links to spoilers and if they happen to visit the spam folder, I will de-spam them! ha! WordPress has a great system in place for preventing spam, so […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week, our Top 4 celebrated the music of Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees. As much I love and respect the music of these legendary performers, I just found this to be a strange thematic selection for everyone. This music is very difficult to perform as a soloist and, by the […]

Time to beat the Masterclass Lady to the punch. Your comments are most welcome following tonight’s exciting show, featuring our Top 4, Lakisha, Blake, Jordin and Melinda performing the music of the Bee Gees. You know, every year at this time, I had an idea who would win this competition, but this year? Nada. This […]

May 1, 2007 43 Comments
As I have encountered a musical emergency here in Timmins, it may not be possible to submit a Vocal Masterclass article for the encore performance of our Top 6. I have to step in to play keyboard for the musical, “Anything Goes”, as the original keyboard player just received news that her father died unexpectedly. […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week, our Top 6 performers inspired the American Idol viewing audience with “life anthem” songs that signified the humanitarian values of hope and compassion. This theme paralleled the huge Idol Gives Back Performance Gala that was to follow the next evening. This unprecedented event drew some of the world’s biggest entertainment […]

April 26, 2007 15 Comments
Here we go everyone. Let’s have a round table discussion regarding tonight’s enormously successful Idol Gives Back special. Personally, I was very disappointed that Michael Buble was not on the show as expected. However, the duet between Elvis and Celine made up for it. It was unbelievable wasn’t it? And Josh Groban was amazing as […]

Well, I don’t know about you, but I thought the show this evening was absolutely a moving and memorable experience. The performances were extremely well done; however the video footage was extremely disturbing and educational at the same time. I hope that an unbelievable amount of money is raised to benefit these children who are […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Well, thank heavens for Country Music week. I am not a huge country fan, but I do like the crossover appeal of many of the songs from this genre, as well as the fact that, like the song classics from the big band era, the lyrical and melodic components of many of […]

Now, finally we had a show happening last night. I thought that, generally, the singers were very good and I congratulate the genuine, supportive talent of Martina McBride for nurturing and guiding these singers toward successful and real performances in their country themed showcases. I will be posting my Vocal Masterclass article sometime tomorrow (maybe […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week, our Final 8 interpreted the Latin genre of music through the guidance of guest artist, Jennifer Lopez. This style of music emphasizes the rhythmic elements, which are always very contagious and infectious, encouraging the artist to develop a choreographic approach to his or her performing style. That being said, I […]

What a disappointing week. These singers looked completely disoriented on stage during their Latin showcase. Makes me wonder what is happening behind the scenes. It can’t be good. Until the Vocal Masterclass article is online, please feel free to voice your comments. However – be nice.

By: Rosanne Simunovic This week’s guest instructor and mentor, the legendary Tony Bennett, made a timely visit to the American Idol set and succeeded to inject some personality and spontaneity into this year’s group of talented, but intense idol finalists. Revisiting and interpreting the classics coerced the singers into concentrating on the beautiful simplicity of […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Before we begin, one reader wrote and suggested that I write separate Vocal Masterclass articles for each singer, so that the comments for each contestant could remain separate from the rest. I did fully intend to do this, beginning with the Top 11; however, with further thought, I realized that, because of […]

By: Rosanne Simunovic Here we go everybody. We are on our way to crowning the next American Idol. This week, we added another diva to the mix when the legendary Diana Ross appeared as a coach and mentor to this season’s 12 performers.
