Lauren Alaina is returning to York next month, but not to sing. She’ll be a featured guest at the York Revolution’s 2012 Fan Fest, meeting with fans and participating in an autograph session. The April 21 event will kick off with a free concert outside the stadium by Mountain Road, a York County band. That…
American Idol’s Season 10 rocker James Durbin is heading out on tour next month. And his string of stops as an opening act for Buckcherry includes a Thursday, May 17, show at the Power Plant Live in Baltimore, Md. James, who finished fourth on Idol last year, is touring in support of his debut album,…
When we met James Massone during the blind auditions, he talked extensively about wanting to make a career out of music and get out of his dad’s auto body shop. But check out his blog on The Voice, and you’ll discover that music is a family affair for the Massone family. James, 23, says he…
Hey, have you checked out the new single from Kris Allen? If not, do yourself a favor and play “The Vision of Love” below. Kris’ new single is upbeat. It’s catchy. It does a great job of showing off his voice. It’s a song I could listen to over and over. And I really didn’t…
Tonight, the final six singers will earn their spots in the live shows on The Voice. And, once again, we’re in for some odd pairings. For instance, Christina has just two acts that haven’t battled — the country-pop duo The Line and rapper Moses Stone. Likewise, Blake has just two singers who haven’t been inside…

Elise Testone: “Bad a-s mansion! I am so grateful! Hollie Cavanagh: “The house is AMAZING….

Which means, I suppose, that Phillip Phillips could sing Dave Matthews. And that Skylar Laine could sing Miranda Lambert. The Idols, of course, aren’t giving any big hints…
She’s just 25, and Juliet Simms is more experienced than many of the contestants on Season 2 of The Voice. Of course, getting an early start helps. Juliet told The Voice she was singing in coffee houses at age 13, and started touring across the country, “living the gypsy life” at age 16. Blame the…
If the opening of Cheesa’s audition for The Voice sounded a little rough, there was good reason. “I missed my cue,” she explains in her interview with the show. “I had to rush to catch up. I thought, ‘No one’s going to turn around now, dummy.’” The 21-year-old was almost right. But she ended Beyonce’s…
First off, her real name is not Charlotte Sometimes. It’s Jessica Charlotte Poland; the stage name came from a 1969 children’s book about a girl transported 40 years back in time. And, today, the 23-year-old Brooklyn resident considers herself fortunate that she can compete on a show like The Voice. As we heard in her…
