Chris Daughtry and his band appeared on American Idol a couple weeks ago to perform Daughtry’s new single, “Outta My Head.” Last night, the band released the video for the song, during which Chris can’t get a dark-haired beauty out of his head and brushes aside his bandmates in his pursuit of her.

Does it seem like the Idol judges are holding onto their save this year like the most precious of commodities? In the last two seasons, they’d already used the save by this point. They declined to use it on Deandre Brackensick last week, despite Jennifer’s lobbying on his behalf. They declined to use it on…
Judging from the iTunes singles chart, five contestants should have very little to worry about during tonight’s results show on The Voice. As reported earlier today, Juliet Simms scored a smash hit with her version of Roxanne, which is still number 21 on that chart, more than 70 spots ahead of anyone else who performed…

If the rest of the album sounds like the snippet of “Downtown” in the promo…
Just call me baffled and befuddled right now. I mean, I just watched country singer Karla Davis try to rap on The Voice. I just watched a theatrical veteran named Pip try to play rocker while wearing a bow tie. I watched one of the show’s biggest female voices (Kim Yarbrough) try to match Adele…
The Voice — with the help of voters — picks eight more contestants to advance this week. Tonight, we hear from the members of Team Cee Lo and Team Adam. Three from each team will be voted into the next rounds. One of the three remaining contestants will be saved by their judge. Last week,…
I spent part of the weekend listening to pre-Voice music from the singers we’ll hear tonight on NBC (8 p.m. EST). It’s a talented bunch vying for votes from Team Cee Lo Green and Team Adam Levine. The five songs below are among my favorites. And they show that this is a cast capable of…
The live competition continues Monday at 8 p.m. on The Voice when we’ll hear from the six remaining members of Team Cee Lo and Team Adam. After last week, we all know how this works.
