The most entertaining singing show on television returns Monday night. And I’m eager to see what strategy the Season 8 contestants on The Voice take when it comes to picking a coach. We have another new combination of judges — with Pharrell Williams joining three of the originals, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton….
Ever since Dia Frampton released the video for “Blood” last summer, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the day when her new music would be available for download. The wait’s almost over. The six-track EP will be available Monday. In fact, you can listen to the entire EP now at indiecurrent.com. And you can pre-order it on…

Wednesday night, the American Idol judges completed half of what they call their most difficult job. That would be deciding who advances to the semifinals and who heads home after advancing this deep into the competition.

Tonight, American Idol took its most promising Season 14 contestants to the House of Blues. The goal: Make them perform in front of a live crowd to see who’s capable of delivering a top-notch live performance and who isn’t. You could call it the M.K. Nobilette round. Or the C.J.
