Vocal Masterclass For Canadian Idol Season Five Top Four Singers With Paul Anka
August 28, 2007 
2 Comments
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 […]

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 […]

Well, that was an interesting evening of music. Not at all what I expected from these singers. As I try to grasp for words in writing this week’s Masterclass article, please feel free to add your comments in this post. Who were your favorites? Did you feel the singing was on par with last week’s […]

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 […]

So, I was browsing the internet today and look what I found. It’s a much younger Debra Byrd, Voice Coach for American Idol and Canadian Idol, singing with Barry Manilow at the piano, with Dana Robbins on saxophone. It was recorded live in 1988. This song mesmerized me . It was a spectacular performance and […]

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. […]

June 25, 2007 Comments Off on Canadian Idol Season Five Is Going To Kick
Do you feel the excitement in the air? I do. This year, our illustrious team of judges worked extremely hard to ensure the success of Canadian Idol Season Five. As we anticipate the Top 22 performances, beginning with the Top 11 male singers this evening, the Toronto boot camp auditions defined the depth and diversity […]

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 […]

May 10, 2007 44 Comments
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 […]

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 […]
