Four more singers earned spots in the live playoffs on The Voice Tuesday night. After watching a four-chair turn recipient (Justin Kilgore) leave the competition Monday night, Terrence Cunningham and Pryor Baird made sure they didn’t fall victim to the same fate. The youngest contestant on the show — Bryan Cartelli — also advanced. And…
The youngest contestant on The Voice scored the biggest hit on the second night of the knockout round. Brynn Cartelli, just 14 when she auditioned for the show, performed Rascal Flatts “Here Comes Goodbye” on Tuesday’s episode. Her performance earned her a spot in the live playoffs with Team Kelly Clarkson. It also rocketed onto…
The Voice introduced the block in the Season 14 blind auditions. I thought it was a flop. The Voice introduced the save to the knockout rounds for the first time Monday night. It allows a coach to save an artist who loses the knockout round match. And I think it’s a keeper. Twice on Monday,…
Kyla Jade scored the biggest iTunes hit from Monday’s episode of The Voice. As of midnight eastern time, her blistering cover of “You Don’t Own Me” was the only song from Monday’s show to crack the iTunes Top 200 singles chart. By noon Tuesday, it had climbed all the way to number 88 on…

Turns out, they came sooner than expected thanks to a knockout preview video The Voice released Sunday. The biggest news: Both Chloe Kohanski and Jordan Smith talked about their upcoming albums. Chloe,…
Hmm, what’s new for the knockout round on Season 14 of The Voice? Glad you asked. Instead of one guest adviser working with all four teams, we’ll have four guest advisers. And kudos to The Voice, they’re all former winners of the show. But a new rule will play a bigger role in the outcome…
Wondering just who made the Hollywood Week cut on American Idol? Below, I’m going to answer that question to the best of my ability. But first, some general reactions to Sunday’s Hollywood Week episode. 1. I can’t remember being that impressed with the level of talent in a Hollywood Week episode. Kudos to Idol for…
Sunday night’s episode marked the end of Hollywood Week on American Idol. Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie made more cuts after each remaining artist delivered a solo performance.
