My ears perked up at something Lionel Richie said on American Idol Sunday night. He called this year’s Top 5 Idol’s best ever. This coming from a judge who has been a judge for a whole two seasons. Now, look, I know part of its was hype. Heck, I’ve heard Adam Levine call performances…
American Idol has announced its entertainment lineup for Sunday’s finale. And one name is conspicuous for its absence — Season 16 winner Maddie Poppe. If you’ve missed it, Maddie has voiced her disappointment with that development. She had clearly hoped a performance of her new single “Made You Miss” on the show would help market…
More than three years after making the finals on The Voice, Emily Ann Roberts returned Tuesday night to sing one of her first singles. The song is called “Someday Dreams” and Emily Ann says the message is simple: That everyone should follow their biggest dreams. “I want my career to show that if a simple…
Fans selected Maelyn Jarmon, Gyth Rigdon and Dexter Roberts as finalists on The Voice based on overnight voting. Now it’s time for Shawn Sounds, Andrew Sevener and Rod Stokes to compete for an instant save and the final spot in those finals. If Andrew wins, Team Blake would have three singers competing in next…
Keep all eyes on Dexter Roberts tonight. Because if he’s voted into the finals — and not Shawn Sounds — the Team Blake Shelton avalanche that’s swept over The Voice in Season 16 could continue tonight. Gyth Rigdon, who also sings on Team Blake, is a pretty sure bet to make the finals. And it’s…
What’s going to happen tonight on The Voice? Well, I can certainly predict — and pretty much guarantee — the fate of four contestants. 1. Maelyn Jarmon: She will breeze into the finals and might be the most-streamed artist again, which would give her a big edge heading into next week’s finals. 2. Gyth…
American Idol has decided to roll its final performance show and its season finale into one three-hour episode Sunday night. And they’ve announced so many special performances, I hope they’re saving time for the Top 3 to make their final statement. In past seasons, every member of the Top 3 has taken the stage…
For the second straight week, Maelyn Jarmon led the way for The Voice on iTunes. And, for the second straight week, she has cracked the Top 10 on the site’s overall singles chart. When voting ended at 7 a.m. eastern time, Maelyn’s cover of “Stay” was number three on iTunes overall chart and number two…
Well now, isn’t Tuesday night going to be interesting on The Voice? I figured heading into Monday’s show, Maelyn Jarmon and Gyth Rigdon would be locks for the finals. Maelyn still should be based on her performances Monday night. But Gyth had an off night, while Dexter Roberts, Andrew Sevener and Rod Stokes didn’t. And,…
I’m a bit curious about tonight’s song picks. Because some of the selections seemed well chosen if the goal is to nail down a spot in the finals. Others … well, quite frankly they don’t. Rod Stokes is singing “Go Rest High on That Mountain,” which is completely in keeping with his church background….
