Thursday’s Top 24 reveal episode of American Idol certainly could have used more music and less chatter. After all, we got to see very little of those showcase performances that helped earn 13 lucky ladies and 11 lucky guys spots among the final 24.

Reagan James apparently isn’t ready to share the story behind the title of her new album. But “Have a Nice Day” hit iTunes on Friday, the second album already from the 17-year-old who starred on Season 7 of The Voice. And fans seem to be having a nice time listening to eight new tracks from…
The Swon Brothers are one of the opening acts on Carrie Underwood’s “Storyteller” tour, which kicked off Saturday night in Jacksonville, Fla.
