American Idol eliminated two more talented artists Monday night in singer-songwriters Kyndal (Inskeep) and Lucas Leon. The good news is that fans won’t have to wait for them to release new music. Both already have original music out. Kyndal took to social media Wednesday to thank fans for supporting her on her “big, beautiful,…
American Idol fans picked a Top 7 Monday night after the Top 9 performed tunes from the Disney songbook. When the dust settled, Kyndal and Lucas Leon headed home. And the remaining seven have to start perfecting songs by Taylor Swift. That’s right, next week’s theme is Taylor Swift. Now I hate single artist themes…
The American Idol Top 9 take on Disney tunes tonight. And by the end of the evening, that Top 9 will become a Top 7. Former Idol standout and former The Voice coach Jennifer Hudson will be on hand to mentor the contestants. She’ll also join Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie at…
The good news for The Voice is that its ratings surged slightly this week as Season 29 came to a close. The bad news is that The Battle of Champions was still a ratings disaster, one during which The Voice was thumped in the ratings by American Idol on a weekly basis and lost…
After two disappointing weeks of performances on American Idol, I have a simple suggestion for the show. Ditch the theme weeks. Two weeks ago, we had singers performing songs from the 1990s they didn’t know. Last week, we had singers skirting the rock and rock theme to sing covers of songs by Stevie Wonder…
Not even a brilliant show-closing performance from Jordan McCullough could oust Hannah Harper from her roost as the most popular performer on American Idol. Jordan’s impassioned, vocally impressive performance of Queen’s “Somebody to Love” was probably the best show-ending performance anyone has delivered on American Idol this season. Yet check the Facebook video views…
American Idol said farewell to two supremely talented singers Monday night. And both Philmon Lee and Ray Boyd took to social media to address their Idol eliminations. Rae’s elimination was both shocking and not shocking at all. It was shocking in that she was one of the show’s best vocalists and had turned in…
Alexia Jayy won The Voice on Tuesday night, and made show history in the process. She became the first black female to win the show in its 29 seasons. The 31-year-old from Mobile, Alabama, was a show favorite from the moment she stepped on the blind audition stage, turning three chairs with her performance…
Syd Millevoi and Jared Shoemaker were flat-out robbed Monday night on The Voice. Both were deserving of spots in the Season 29 finals. Both wound up heading home thanks to the ill-conceived and completely illogical method The Voice used to pick Season 29 finalists. This marked the first Voice season without at least one…
Liv Ciara, Alexia Jayy, Lucas West and Mikenley Brown are advancing to The Voice finale tonight. The Voice — which has eliminated all live shows and all at-home voting this season — had nine singers perform for spots in the finale Monday night. A audience including Voice “super fans” and past contestants then voted…
