As you can plainly see from the Top 24 list below, Pittsburgh, followed by Savannah, were hotbeds for discovering this season’s American Idol Top 24 talent. And a more diverse collection of talent I haven’t witnessed in years, certainly since Season 7. But hold your horses – the judges felt compelled to add a lucky […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: Final Judgement


Over the next two days, the Top 24 Semi-Finalists of American Idol Season 11 will be revealed. The Final Judgement segment is always a nail-biter – very stressful to watch.

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Hollywood Rounds Part Two


Tonight, American Idol continues its dramatic presentation of the Hollywood Week audition process. And after watching the television promo and listening to Jennifer Lopez’ interview on Jay Leno, it looks like the singers are dropping like flies. Nerves, fatigue and ill health equal the end of the line for some of these contestants as they […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Hollywood Rounds Part One


Tonight, American Idol begins the singing marathon called Hollywood Week. And I am sure it will be filled with all the drama and suspense that I have come to dislike about this show. It is tedious and overblown. As I said last week, American Idol would have been wise to jump-start the live shows this […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The St. Louis Auditions


Tonight, American Idol features the final stop of the Season 11 audition tour – the city of St. Louis. Think we’ll find any blues singers? One can only hope! Wednesday’s Portland show was pretty weak, I thought. Lots of people with back stories and mediocre voices. I can’t see many going far during Hollywood week. […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Portland Auditions


Tonight, American Idol enters the third and last week of preliminary auditions via the city of Portland, Oregon. Thursday’s Houston, Texas show was very good. More great singers were discovered and will most certainly do very well during the Hollywood Bootcamp. I was very excited to see Season 6 contestant, Baylie Brown. I remembered that […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Houston Texas Auditions


Tonight, American Idol continues its journey while highlighting the talent discovered at the Houston, Texas auditions. I thought last evening’s show in Aspen showed some very promising talent. There were a couple of guys with resounding baritone voices and, of course, Hippie Girl Haley was just tremendous. What a surprise! And she is different and […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Aspen Auditions


I have always wanted to travel to Aspen Colorado, so the closest thing I will encounter is catching a glimpse of it here and there during this evening’s American Idol Aspen auditions. I wonder if anyone will ski into the auditions. Just a crazy thought! I pretty much thought that the San Diego auditions were […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The San Diego Auditions


Well, apparently there is some important game on tonight, acting as a lead-in to a special showing of American Idol. As you can plainly see, I am not an avid sports fan – except when the Olympics air. Then I turn into a raving lunatic, acting like an avid and obsessive sports fan. It really […]

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Pittsburgh Auditions

Vocal Masterclass Discussion Thread For American Idol Season 11: The Savannah Auditions


Tonight’s two-hour premiere of American Idol Season 11 will showcase the discovered talent in Savannah, Georgia. Two hours for one city seems a little extreme. Has it always been this way? Who can remember from year to year? Not me. So the two-hour showcase allotted to the Savannah singers must be indicative of the stellar […]

Well “Hello” David Cook and Welcome To American Idol Season 7 Top 12.


I have to admit that David Cook was not on my artistic radar when American Idol Top 24 premiered three weeks ago. It was initially difficult to sort through these 24 singers and the only singer that seemed to be creating any “buzz” was 17-year-old vocal prodigy, David Archuleta. However, this week, David Cook cemented his […]
