American Idol has a lot to cram into an hour Tuesday night. But then the show that moves at a snail’s pace typically tries to squeeze too much into its performance finale. The first bit of business will be eliminating one of the three remaining singers. I’m already on record as saying I think Jax…
Those hometown visits must have been every bit as inspirational as they looked, because the Top 5 on The Voice were on fire during the second half of Monday’s show. I mean, it’s been a while since I’ve seen back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back performances that good on a televised singing show. And that singers were rewarded for their…
The five remaining singers on The Voice certainly saved their best for last Monday night. A second round of superb performances created some fierce competition for the four spots in next week’s finale. Oh, Sawyer Fredericks will get one of them; that’s for certain. But India Carney, who figured to be the biggest longshot to…
The iTunes results from Monday’s show just confirm what we already know. Sawyer Fredericks is a sure bet to make The Voice Season 8 finals. An hour after Monday’s episode ended, Sawyer already had one song in the Top 10 on iTunes and a second on the verge of breaking into the Top 10. By…
Season 8 of The Voice ends next week. That means this week’s mission will be to select four finalists, without the wild card round that made its debut in Season 7. I’m figuring two of the Top 4 spots probably already belong to Sawyer Fredericks and Meghan Linsey. That would leave Koryn Hawthorne, Joshua Davis…

Nick Fradiani showed up at American Idol’s Season 14 New York auditions with girlfriend Yanni G. She performed “The Cup Song;” he performed Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes.” We didn’t get to hear the judges’ feedback, but he advanced and she did not, though Nick, 29, was oh, so supportive of Yanni in the aftermath,…
Five singers will compete Monday night for four spots in next week’s Season 8 finale on The Voice. And on Tuesday, the final instant save of Season 8 will determine which singer gets that fourth spot. The Voice has apparently decided to stick with a four-singer finale the spring after having just three cast members…
Sawyer Fredericks again made the biggest gains on social media on The Voice over the past week. In fact, he now has twice as many Facebook fans and Instagram followers as any of the other remaining singers on The Voice. Just another indicator that he’s the heavy favorite to win Season 8. But if it’s…
American Idol Season 14 concludes this week with a two-part finale. On Tuesday, Jax, Clark Beckham and Nick Fradiani will take the stage, and we’ll find out which two are in the running for the Season 14 title. Then one of them will be crowned the new American Idol Wednesday night during a two-hour finale…
