Apparently, Tony Lucca’s rocked-out version of “Baby Hit Me One More Time” appealed to folks other than yours truly and the judges on The Voice. Tony’s single is the most downloaded on iTunes among last night’s performances from The Voice. As of 7 p.m., his take on the Britney Spears’ tune was number 22 on…
Here’s my question: If Ryan Seacrest is worth $15 million a year to host Idol, how much should Carson Daly be paid to host The Voice? I mean, Monday night, Carson had to stand in front of the camera and, with a straight face, say “that was amazing” after watching Cee Lo Green jump around the…
Sure looks like we’re in for an exciting finish to American Idol Season 11. The results of the last two weeks added an air of uncertainty seldom seen this late in the process. I mean, if Jessica Sanchez needs a save and if Colton Dixon can be eliminated, is anyone safe on this show? This…
Wow, The Voice redeemed itself tonight. OK, there were incomprehensible moments. Like when Cee Lo Green and three buddies donned 21st century golden gladiator costumes and stomped around the stage singing some new song. Once again proving The Voice still hasn’t learned the importance of keeping the focus on the contestants, not the mentors. But…
Well, I thought Christina Aguilera had the most talented final foursome on The Voice. But then she eliminated Jesse Campbell, a contestant considered one of the show’s frontrunners, and failed to coax a sterling performance from anyone on her team. Yep, last week’s quarterfinal episode of The Voice was pretty dismal. This week, the remaining…
The nominees for the 2012 CMT Music Awards were announced today, and Carrie Underwood leads the field with five. Her latest video, “Good Girl,” has been nominated for both female video of the year and video of the year. And the video for her “Remind Me” duet with Brad Paisley is up for video of…
The show that deserves an award for doing the least with the most returns Monday night. I mean, The Voice rounded up some pretty amazing talent for Season 2. But if it’s managed to generate any buzz for its top contestants, I’m not hearing it. Instead, I’m hearing an awful lot about contestants named Phillip,…
Stefano Langone, seventh-place finisher on American Idol last year, will return to the show Thursday night to perform his new single. The song is called “I’m On a Roll,” and it premiered Friday morning on Live with Ryan Seacrest. It’s a dance/club song featuring New Boyz and Rock Mafia. And I certainly wouldn’t have recognized…
UPDATE: If you missed the show, I’m embedded the performances below. The Dove Awards, celebrating the best in Christian music, air Tuesday night. And we just might get to see four former American Idol contestants perform together. Mandisa was among the Dove Award nominees and performed at the event with Ruben Studdard, Phil Stacey and…
Katharine McPhee is starring in NBC’s “Smash.” Elliott Yamin just released his third album. Now the other member of Season 5’s final three — Taylor Hicks — is heading to Vegas. Taylor mentioned the gig last Thursday on the American Idol results show, and the official press release followed on Friday. The Season 5 champ…
