Brooke White, a Season 7 standout on American Idol, joined forced with Jack Matranga to release three excellent EPs as Jack and White between 2011 and 2012. We hadn’t heard from them since … at least not until earlier this month when the duo released “Lost,” their first full-length album. Besides being the name of…
Remember how The Voice Season 9 started with a record number of four-chair turns in the blind auditions? Well, we’re down to a Top 10, and just three of the 14 singers who turned four chairs remain. Those would be Jordan Smith, Barrett Baber and Shelby Brown. In fact, at this point in the…
There was precious little change in the social media rankings over the past week on The Voice. Korin Bukowski moved up one spot in terms of Facebook popularity. And that’s it. But if the rankings remain mostly unchanged, the numbers seem to indicate that Jordan Smith biggest threat in a seemingly inevitable run for the…
Tis the season and Taylor Hicks wants to be sure we’re all in the holiday mood. The Season 5 Idol champ released a version of “Silent Night” on Friday. There’s more music coming. According to his website, Taylor is planning a new album — his first in years — for early 2016. And in case…

Well, they’re back with another: A new video featuring Haley’s cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” with Casey on piano. Haley covered the song for a love-story-based Extra gum commercial earlier this year. Her version of the song…
Could The Voice lose one of its four country singers tonight? Judging from the iTunes results at noon, when voting ended, that’s certainly a possibility. At the bottom of the iTunes charts sits Team Adam’s Shelby Brown. Her cover of Lady Gaga’s “You and I” landed at number 96. And that’s 36 chart positions behind…
You might say Amy Vachal’s decision to sing more current music is working out nicely on The Voice. Last week, she cracked the Top 10 on iTunes for the first time with “Hotline Bling.” This week, she’s done it again with a cover of Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space.” Not only that, she became the first…
It would be considered an upset if any of Team Blake’s country artists don’t make the Top 10 on Tuesday night.
