When the voting ended today for The Voice, Sundance Head must have loved what he was seeing on iTunes. “Darlin’ Don’t Go,” the original he wrote and dedicated to his wife, was number one on iTunes, bumping the new single by Taylor Swift from the top spot. Among The Voice final four, he was scoring…
The Top 4 on The Voice performed original songs on the show Monday night. And they filmed accompanying music videos. I’m embedded those below. Sundance Head chose to make his original a song from his 2015 album, “Soul Country.” It’s a song he wrote and dedicated to his wife. Josh Gallagher had a hand in…
Billy Gilman holds a big edge on social media. Sundance Head has been the show’s iTunes leader three of the past four weeks. Wé McDonald hasn’t done nearly as well on iTunes, but had a big enough following to overcome that and earn a spot in the finals on fan voting. And Josh Gallagher appears…
Well, I hope Voice fans are in for lots of throwback music as the Top 4 take the stage tonight. Because if you took Josh Gallagher out of the equation, you wouldn’t hear a cover song that was recorded after 1970. And his song choices aren’t exactly what you’d call current. Josh will sing Santana’s…
The Top 4 will compete for the Season 11 crown on The Voice this week. Unless The Voice strays from its past format, each contestant will perform three times, entertaining us with a new cover, an original song and a duet with his or her coach. Based on what’s happened to date, it should…
If YouTube popularity translates into votes, Billy Gilman could run away with the Season 11 title on The Voice. As of Saturday evening, Billy’s Voice performances have been viewed more than 24 million times on the show’s YouTube channel. That’s 7 million more views than Wé McDonald has received, more than twice as many as…
Wé McDonald was a favorite on Season 11 of The Voice before Season 11 even officially began. That’s because she was featured — along with Darby Walker — on the special sneak peek at Season 11 that aired after the closing ceremony of the Olympics. Everyone got to hear her sing “Feeling Good” and turn…
Several former American Idol contestants have auditioned and earned spots on The Voice. Sundance Head, Top 24 on Season 6 of Idol back in 2007, is the first to make it to the finals. Since then, the country-soul singer has released a pair of albums and an EP. He was 37 when he auditioned for…
Josh Gallagher nearly didn’t survive the knockout round on Season 11 of The Voice. He had landed a spot on Team Blake Shelton with his blind audition cover of “Stay a Little Longer.” But in the knockouts, he found himself pitted against Sundance Head , whom Blake declared the winner. That’s when Adam Levine intervened,…
Billy Gilman was 28 when he auditioned for The Voice, but he showed up looking for a second chance at stardom in the music business. He’d had his first taste at age 11, when he released a song called “One Voice” that cracked the Top 20 on the country singles chart. A number one album…
