On Monday, I provided rankings for the Idol guys. Today, the Idol girls. Honestly, I found this much more difficult. Among the guys, I feel like there are four or five clearcut frontrunners. Among the girls, I think more will hinge on how they perform Wednesday night. Part of that is because we’ve heard so…
Tonight, auditioners will be vying for the final nine spots on The Voice. Each of the show’s four judges will end the night with 12 team members. But spots are a precious commodity at this point, so I won’t be surprised if Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera are more selective than…
Over the weekend, I checked on the number of Twitter followers for each of the remaining 24 American Idol contestants. I didn’t get to check on Facebook totals until Monday evening. Guess what?

So, folks, should we make Heejun Han sing a few notes before we crown him the Season 11 American Idol. Wow, I mean, American Idol has made a star of the guy. The Twitter feeds went live for the Season 11 semifinalists Friday morning, and Heejun already has in excess of 13,000 followers. (And who…
There are a whole lot of reasons to respect and admire Kelly Clarkson. Here’s another: When her “Stronger” tour stopped in Atlanta Thursday night, she shared the stage with an old friend, Tamyra Gray.

The wait for new Carrie Underwood music is over. But if Carrie fans were hoping for country twang on the new single, they just might be disappointed. “Good Girl,” released Friday on iTunes, is closer to pop-rock, clearly designed for cross-over success, complete with hand claps, a rousing electric guitar solo and a wonderful a…
