There’s been a lot of gnashing of teeth since Monday night about American Idol’s wildcard selections, especially about the Idol fate of Ada Vox. Honestly, I’m more impressed with what didn’t happen Monday night. 1. Despite the ABC/Disney connection, the judges did not give us a cast filled with 15- and 16-year-olds sure to…
American Idol whittled a field of 14 down to 10 singers Monday night. But hold on tight, fans. For folks who remember the FOX version of American Idol, this is going to seem like an incredibly quick ride toward crowning a Season 16 champ. On Sunday, for instance, three of the Top 10 will head…
D.R. King and Rayshun LaMarr are the lowest vote-getters following Monday’s episode of The Voice. That means each will sing a save-me song in hopes of getting fans’ instant save on Twitter. Those results are not a surprise. They were two of the three singers who failed to crack the Top 200 on iTunes today….
I was a little surprised when Adam Levine choose Jackie Verna as the singer to save last week. Now it looks like she might be the only member of Team Adam who’s not in danger of elimination tonight. On a show where real voting results often mirror iTunes results, Jackie had a solid night…
I get tired of writing this blog. But I’ll keep writing it until something changes on The Voice. Tuesday night will mark the first results show for Season 14, which means there will be time for special performances. Wouldn’t that be a great opportunity for the show to showcase new music from past contestants?…
The Voice kicked off its Season 14 finals Monday night with a Top 12 show filled with excellent performances. Tuesday during an 8 p.m. results show, that Top 12 will be trimmed to a Top 11. And voters will again have the final say in the outcome, via a instant save between the week’s two…
The only four-chair turn recipient remaining on The Voice scored the biggest iTunes hit from Monday’s show. At midnight eastern time, Pryor Baird of Team Blake Shelton has already rocketed to number 36 on the iTunes overall singles chart. And when voting ended at noon Tuesday, he was still in the number one position among…
American Idol cuts down to a Top 10 tonight with six singers advancing based on the overnight fan voting and four advancing via judge’s saves. Those who shouldn’t have a whole lot to be concerned about heading into tonight’s show include Catie Turner and Gabby Barrett, both of whom got high praise from the Idol…
The Voice Top 12 take the stage tonight in the first show of the Season 14 finals. Tomorrow night, two singers will be put at risk of elimination and one will receive an instant save as the show cuts to a Top 11. As for voting tonight, after last week’s live vote fiasco, it…
Who turned in the most popular performance on American Idol Sunday night? Catie Turner, the quirky aspiring rock star. In a landslide. As of noon Monday, Catie’s Sunday night performance of “Take Me to Church” had been viewed nearly half a million times on YouTube. Her next nearest competitor: Gabby Barrett, who closed Sunday’s show…
