The new album from former American Idol standout Danny Gokey landed at number two on the Billboard Christian albums chart this week. The 13-song “Haven’t Seen It Yet” album came out April 12, and tickets go on sale today for a fall tour to support the album. “I really think we’ve got an album that’s…
If you tuned in five minutes later to The Voice Tuesday night, you missed the evening’s musical highlight. Well, of course, it was the only musical performance of that night. But that takes nothing away from the fact that Season 14 champ Brynn Cartelli returned with a soulful new self-penned tune that’s more proof of…
Hmm, I guess the problem wasn’t the time slot after all. After The Voice registered its lowest ratings ever last week — a 1.0 rating among viewers 18-49 — NBC bumped the results show back from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Guess what happened? The Voice just set a new record low — a 0.9…
Blake Shelton emerged as the king of the Cross Battles over the past two weeks on The Voice. And you have to wonder whether what transpired will give future contestants second thoughts about joining Team Adam Levine. First, there’s Blake. His contestants won six of their eight cross battles over the past two weeks with…
Kanard Thomas failed to turn a chair during The Voice Season 16 blind auditions. But he’s now the Season 16 Comeback Stage champ. That means he’ll get a chance to return to the live show next Tuesday night. He’ll sing for the first Twitter save of Season 16. His opponent — here comes about gimmick…

The U.S. version of La Voz — the Spanish language version of The Voice — just wrapped up Season 1 on Telemundo. Jeidimar Rijos, 18, of Dorado, Puerto Rico, won the title, but the Season 1 cast included four former contestants on The Voice. Ivonne Acero, 21 of Aguila, Texas, had finished Top 20 on…
Monday night confirmed what I suspected after last Monday’s first-ever cross battles on The Voice. The Voice has rounded up a deep and vocally talented Season 16 cast. We just haven’t heard the individual artists perform enough! By the typical Voice schedule, last night should have been the Top 12 or Top 13 show….
The second week of live Cross Battles will be featured tonight on The Voice, and the stakes are a bit higher for the 16 remaining contestants.
