If you hadn’t heard yet, new music Tuesday this week brought more than just a second album from David Cook. EPs have been released for each of the final four from Season 10 of American Idol, Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina, Haley Reinhart and James Durbin. Now, true fans of each artist probably already have a…
Last night, The Voice announced a tour featuring the show’s eight semifinalists. For now, at least, it’s a pretty limited tour, with just six dates stretching from July 27 to Aug. 6. The tour starts in Los Angeles, ends in New York and features stops in Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston and Wallingford, Conn., in between….
I don’t know how telling it is, but I took a look at the iTunes download chart a few minutes ago. Sitting at number one, Dia Framption with “Inventing Shadows.” Sitting at number two, Javier Colon with “Stitch by Stitch.” So I’d say they’re our favorites heading into tonight’s season finale on NBC’s surprisingly successful…
Well, I got my wish. Somehow The Voice managed to squeeze two performances from each of the four finalists into Tuesday night’s show and still find time for a group number from the judges and guest performances by Ne-Yo, Pitbull and Brad Paisley. Well done, guys. And well done, finalists. Those are four fine voices….
In a blink of the eye, The Voice has narrowed it field of 32 contestants to just four. And those four — Beverly McClellan, Dia Frampton, Javier Colon and Vicci Martinez — square off tonight for the opportunity to be proclaimed the first winner of The Voice. Last week, the show promised us original songs…
It is just me, or does it seem way too early for a final performance show on The Voice? And I say that for two reasons. First, I’ve enjoyed the show and hate to see it end so soon. It’s been a refreshing change of pace from Idol with more mature contestants, fresher music, a…
You’d think given the challenge of writing a love song would have been a snap for Platinum Hit’s resident lovebirds. It wasn’t. Johnny Marnell’s streak of writing a winning hook, then helping turn it into a winning song ended at two weeks. And Jes Hudak wrote a song about Johnny and nearly got eliminated from…
I hope Nigel Lythgoe isn’t so busy with So You Think You Can Dance that he isn’t paying attention to what’s happening on The Voice. Because the new show that could is quickly making his American Idol franchise look outdated. Downright stodgy. Horribly old-fashioned. Even with a much older cast of contestants. What happened this…
The Voice hosts its first results show tonight as we learn the names of the four contestants who will make the finals, which begin Tuesday night. Vicci Martinez or Nakia. Beverly McClellan or Frenchie Davis. Javier Colon or Casey Weston. Dia Frampton or Xenia. I don’t think there’s all that much suspense, actually. Last night’s…
You have to respect the way Adam Lambert handled the little dust-up that resulted from last night’s episode of The Voice. For those who missed it, Nakia performed Adam’s “Whataya Want from Me,” after which he was critiqued by each of the judges on The Voice. Adam Levine of Maroon 5 said he’d never heard…
