I am thoroughly enjoying America’s Got Talent this year. I think the producers and judges have discovered some great talent despite the fact that many enormously talented artists were dismissed early in the season. I was deeply impressed with Michael Grimm – his new look plus his improved vocal sound made me an immediate fan. And I […]
Continue readingMad World: Michael Ciufo
I was mindlessly surfing the web on this beautiful Monday morning and discovered this hauntingly beautiful version of Mad World featuring Canadian Tenor Michael Ciufo. Now, as many of you know, Season 8 American Idol Runner-Up, Adam Lambert, performed a glorious version of this song. However, I thought that Michael Ciufo, as well, brilliantly internalized […]

The producers of this season’s “So You Think You Can Dance” show have discovered an unfortunate way to eliminate a dancer each week: injury. Two weeks ago, Alex was eliminated due to an untimely injury and, last week, Ashley followed in his footsteps so to speak. I don’t know what is happening behind the scenes but […]

Last week’s show was quite predictable don’t you think? Georgia singer/musician Nate Kenyon and the amazing act known as Fighting Gravity were destined to move forward to the Top 12. The cystic fibrosis sisters, Christina and Ali, seemed a logical choice as well, while the judges moved Future Funk through to the semi-finals. I […]

“So You Think You Can Dance” lost a gifted dancer last week due to injury: one Alex Wong. I will be brutally honest here: it’s going to be tough watching the remainder of this season’s show minus Alex’s gifted presence. However, you can continue to follow Alex’s career via his Facebook page and Twitter page. […]

This is my good news item of the day. And didn’t I predict this new and exciting venture for Ellen? Well, actually, I said that Ellen should start her own talent show, but this is sort of the same thing – in fact even better. She has a show already, so a record company seemed […]
