Longtime American Idol fans are no doubt disappointed to see the show go off the air after Season 15. But Idol’s exit will be accompanied by lots of new music from the show’s past stars. Lee DeWyze just became the third Idol winner to announce plans for a new album in early 2016. His third…
We’ve yet to get a post-Voice album from Season 6 winner Josh Kaufman or Season 7 winner Craig Wayne Boyd. We’ve gotten an EP from Season 8 winner Sawyer Fredericks to tide us over while we await the teen’s post-Voice debut. Sounds like Season 9 winner Jordan Smith would like to beat them all to…
Buckley’s “Hallelujah” is a favorite for singing show contestants. And now, one of the most recognizable voices to ever grace The Voice stage has given us her own version.

The Voice changed formats again for the Season 9 finale, asking the Top 4 to sing Christmas songs instead of new singles. Personally, I would have preferred to hear new music from the Top 4 — just a hint of what kind of music they might release after the show. But it’s difficult to argue…

For the second straight season, The Voice finale offered zero suspense. Jordan Smith was named the Season 9 champ, just as the show apparently planned all along. But that doesn’t mean the two-hour show wasn’t without several enjoyable performances. My picks for the best follow: Best use of a moment in the spotlight: Mark Hood…
Jordan Smith completed his triumphant run on The Voice Season 9 Tuesday night. The 22-year-old from Kentucky was announced the winner over runner-up Emily Ann Roberts in a result that surprised no one. Jeffery had scored three number one hits on iTunes over the course of the show, did it again after Monday’s performance…
Blake Shelton mentioned the possibility of an Emily Ann Roberts upset on The Voice finale tonight. Don’t hold your breath. Though Emily Ann delivered a wonderful show-closing performance of “Burning House,” all signs point to a Jordan Smith victory.
