Masterclass Lady knows her business and definitely knows David Archuleta! Here’s an excerpt from her blog today:
A Masterclass Plea To the American Idol Judges: Please – No More Comparisons!
“Personally, I have had my fill of pointless comparisons of this year’s crop of singers to those who have previously competed on American Idol. I know I have stated that Seasons 5 and 7 were exceptional seasons and difficult to capture on a yearly basis, but, except for one instance (Siobhan/Adam), I have attempted to stay away from comparing the Season 9 singers to those that came before them.
“What’s the point? The majority of the time, these comparisons fall flat and put extra pressure on the Season 9 singers.
“The most ludicrous comparison has been the suggestion that Aaron Kelly is a replication of Season 7 Top 2 finalist, David Archuleta. Look, I think Aaron is a very musical and hard-working young musician, possessing great potential in his future performing career.
“But, David Archuleta came to the Season 7 competition equipped with skills that were very advanced and extremely refined, plus he knew how to select songs that captured his unique and creative performing style.

Rosanne Simunovic, better known as Masterclass Lady, earns that moniker every day! She is a master class lady, a singer’s best coach, and a music lover’s best friend. In a world of exploitation and hype, MCL’s blog stands as an ideal example of service and civility. During American Idol season 7, hers was the voice I turned to when many other Idol commentators were rude, uncivil, and downright cruel. MCL provides expert and thoughtful critiques motivated purely by the love of music. I admire her so much! Long may she reign!
