Expect lots of suspense tonight on The Voice, but there’s only one verdict that matters. Will Juliet Simms — the black-winged rocker, the former lead singer for Automatic Loveletter — make the finals? Because if she doesn’t, The Voice finals might not be worth watching. Here’s what music buyers think. Juliet’s version of “It’s a…
American Idol lost one of its best singers when Elise Testone went home in sixth place last Thursday. It was a regrettable but inevitable outcome. Elise had dodged elimination a number of times and seemed susceptible to ouster every time she got less than a three-thumbs-up review from the judges. Now we’re down to five…
Country music superstar Carrie Underwood just released her “Blown Away” tour dates, and fans in south central Pennsylvania should be thrilled. They’ll have plenty of chances to catch the Season 4 American Idol winner live between now and the end of the year. The tour starts Sept. 14 in Manchester, N.H., and runs through Dec….
Great news for David Cook fans. The Season 7 Idol winner is returning to the show to perform on the Top 4 results show May 10. Better yet, he tweeted Monday afternoon that he’ll be performing “a brand new song.” Which certainly means it won’t be a tune off his 2011 album, “This Loud Morning.”…

But, this being The Voice, don’t expect the mentors to just sit in their Star Trek chairs and watch the action. Nope, Blake Shelton will take the stage to premiere a new single called “Over.” The…
I’m sure no one wants to think about the end of summer before it begins, but Hersheypark has announced that Kellie Pickler will close out the 2012 season at the Hershey Amphitheatre. Kellie will perform at the amusement park at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 30. Better yet, the show will be free…
The Voice didn’t strike gold in the Kelly Clarkson vein in its first season. But it did introduce us to four fabulous finalists, and they’ll be back to perform on the Tuesday night results show. Javier Colon, last year’s winner, hardly burned up the charts with his post-Voice album, “Come Through You,” but it did…
