By: Rosanne Simunovic Fourteen songs in one show! My poor fingers! And voice, thanks to the awesome new dictation feature on the new IPad. Apple rocks! But, I digress. This week, the Top 7 singers performed two numbers – one from the 21st century and the other from the vast array of numbers available from […]

Hollie Cavanagh: Singing The Juice Out Of Adele’s Rolling In The Deep
April 18, 2012 8 Comments
It takes a lot of star power to transfix me to a YouTube video of a Top 7 American Idol performer, especially just 2.5 hours before the airing of the Top 7 American Idol Performance Show. However, this performance by a pre-Idol Hollie Cavanagh did the trick. I was mesmerized by so many aspects of […]

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 […]

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 […]

April 11, 2012 4 Comments
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 […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion For The Voice: Team Adam VS. Team Cee Lo
April 9, 2012 5 Comments
Well after last week’s The Voice show, I think it’s safe to say that Team Christina smoked Team Blake. Christina has been extremely crafty while building her team of singers. She can now boast four distinct singers for the quarter-finals, evenly divided between genders. And all are very strong. They mean business! Tonight’s show should […]

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 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. […]

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 […]
