Team Blake Shelton has dominated Season 16 of The Voice. Blake has eight artists in the Top 13, five in the Top 8 and three singers in Monday’s performance finale. But that might backfire in the end. Because following Monday’s show, while fans were rallying around Maelyn Jarmon and pushing three of her songs into…
Barring a major upset, it appears Maelyn Jarmon will become the Season 16 winner of The Voice this evening. Already the owner of the iTunes streaming bonus from the first two weeks of the finals, Maelyn dominated on iTunes again after Monday’s show. Every one of her Monday night performances cracked the Top 10…
Maelyn Jarmon of Team John Legend appears well on her way to another streaming bonus based on iTunes results from The Voice. In fact, she may be well on her way to the Season 16 title. When Voice voting ended at 7 a.m., all three of Maelyn’s performances from Monday’s show were in the…

That would be Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah,” which can typically be counted on to provide a moment for a skilled vocalist. As she’s proven time and time…
Last year, Laine Hardy failed to make the Top 24 on American Idol Season 16. Sunday night, the 19-year-old from Livingston, La., was named the winner of Season 17. What changed? Michael Strahan asked that question when Laine Hardy made his first post-show appearance on Good Morning America today. “Last year, after I got eliminated,…
Hardy got to perform a bit of his new single as he was swarmed by fellow contestants Sunday night at the end of American Idol. But his fans must have liked what they heard. At 1 p.m., Laine’s single was sitting at number si on the iTunes overall singles chart and number one on…
American Idol did it. I must admit, I was skeptical. But producers managed to combine their performance finale and their grand finale into an entertaining three-hour show that still felt like a celebration of Season 17.
