Jennifer Hudson is starring as Grizabella in the film version of Cats. And she got a chance to perform the signature song “Memory” as a guest star at Tuesday’s Season 17 finale on The Voice. Her performance of the song is also featured on the film soundtrack. ‘It’s such an honor to sing it,…
The Voice invited back 12 contestants who didn’t make the Top 4 to perform in Tuesday’s season finale. That’s not as inclusive as the show’s season finale used to be. Remember when the entire Top 20 took the stage at some point during the finale? Remember when the Top 4 got to invite back…
Jake Hoot completed his journey from one-chair turn to Voice champ Tuesday night. The 31-year-old country singer was named Season 17’s winner, besting runner-up Ricky Duran, third-place finisher Katie Kadan and fourth-place finisher Rose Short. Here’s a photo gallery of Jake’s winning night on The Voice.
He spent most of his childhood in the Dominican Republic, growing up the son of missionaries. Standing 6-foot-6, he headed to Tennessee Tech University to play football. And it’s only in college that he started playing regular gigs at local restaurants and college bars. Now he’s the Season 17 winner of The Voice. Jake Hoot,…
I’ve had Rose Short at the top of my Voice rankings for the past two weeks. And if there was another week to Season 17, she’d probably remain there. But when the confetti falls tonight just before 11 p.m. eastern time, my guess is that it will be falling on Jake Hoot. And following…
Adam Lambert will be among the artists appearing on tonight’s finale of The Voice Season 17 to duet with a member of the Top 4. Adam will sing “Believe” with Katie Kadan of Team John Legend.

What a night for The Voice contestants on iTunes! When voting ended, seven of the eight spots on iTunes were occupied by The Voice Top 4. Ricky Duran had claimed the number one spot with his new original song, pushing the new duet from Blake Shelton Gwen Stefani to number two. Jack Hoot placed…
The Top 4 on The Voice will each take the stage three times during tonight’s performance finale. Each will perform a new cover. Each will perform a new single. And each contestant will take the stage with his or her coach for a duet. Streams of the solo performances will count as votes; the coach…
The Voice has posted the songs we’ll hear tonight to Apple Music. But remember, streaming the songs before 8 p.m. will not count as votes. Having seen tonight’s playlist, I’m more confident than ever that Jake Hoot will be the Season 17 champ. His new cover — Lonestar’s “Amazed” — is among the best song…
The Voice live finale begins at 9 p.m. Tuesday and ends with the crowning of a Season 17 champ two hours later. But at 8 p.m., The Voice will air a one-hour preview looking back at Season 17 so far.
