And, judging from the cover of her new single, she’s determined to act more grown up with her “I am Woman” dance anthem. Steven Tyler’s new video will be featured. The song’s a…

The battle rounds begin tonight on The Voice. Check out the members of Team Adam Levine who will be hoping to advance. Jeff Jenkins This 22-year-old from Jones Creek, Texas, got all four judges to spin their chairs with his version of “God Bless the Broken Road.” He dedicated his performance to his mother, who…
