You might not have noticed, but a former 12th-place finisher on American Idol is steadily climbing the music charts. Leah LaBelle is doing it nine years after appearing in the show’s Season 3 finals as Paula Abdul’s wild card pick.
Farewell, Holly Tucker. OK, I know it isn’t official; The Voice hasn’t even started yet. But can there be any other outcome tonight?
Congratulations, Cassadee Pope. The Voice’s Season 3 winner hasn’t even taken the stage tonight for the official premiere of her first single. And, already, “Wasting All These Tears” has cracked iTunes top 10.
Expect an emotional tribute among the performances on the CMT Music Awards Wednesday night. And it will come courtesy of Carrie Underwood.
It’s new music Tuesday, and Season 3 Voice champ Cassadee Pope isn’t the only former singing show contestant with a new single out. Today marks the release of the first song from DeAndre Brackensick since he appeared on American Idol Season 11.
A report by Hollywood Reporter today pretty much confirms what we all suspected. The announcement late last week that American Idol was cancelling a quarter of its summer tour dates probably had more to do with pathetic ticket sales than scheduling conflicts.
Michelle Chamuel accomplished a pair of rare feats on iTunes Tuesday morning. She became the first Season 4 artist from The Voice not named Danielle Bradbery to crack the top 10 on the singles chart. And she became just the second Voice artist this season to land in front of Danielle on iTunes.
Here’s hoping that you like The Voice with a strong touch of twang. Because we’re likely to hear an awful lot of country music tonight.
Remember back in February when we learned that Season 8 American Idol contestant Allison Iraheta was fronting a new rock band named Halo Circus? Well, Halo Circus has released a performance video, one Allison shared via Twitter Monday morning.
Cassadee Pope has a new website, a date with The Voice and, by this time tomorrow, she’ll have her first country single out. “Wasting All These Tears” (acoustic version embedded below) hits iTunes on Tuesday, giving us an idea of what Cassadee’s been up to since being crowned Season 3 champ of The Voice.
