During a conference call interview last week, Laura Vivas was asked whether she thought her chances of doing well on The Voice might be diminished because she’d gotten so little airtime on the show. After seeing most of her blind audition and most of her battle round victory wind up on the cutting-room floor, the…
By my count, there are just nine battle matchups left before we move on to the next phase of The Voice. Yet we’ve still to hear from some of the brightest stars of the blind auditions. That would include Adrianna Louise, Cassadee Pope and Nicole Nelson, all of whom enticed every judge to turn around…
She’s just 22, but Cassadee Pope has been playing music full-time for years. The West Palm Beach, Fla., native spent much of that time as front woman for the band “Hey, Monday.”
Simon Cowell must have been seething after what happened to his drama-filled judges’ mansion results show last Wednesday night. He’s likely in a much better mood today. FOX just sent out a press release that The X Factor has been renewed for a third season. “Yippee,” would be my rather unenthusiastic response. But I suppose…
The Voice aired two more battle rounds, completed with more steals, a couple of tough-to-call matches and some baffling coaches’ decisions. If you had trouble keeping track, Dez Duron, Sam James, Julio Ceasar Castillo, David Nicholas, Suzanna Choffel, Sylvia Yacoub, Michelle Brooks-Thompson, Laura Vivas, Mycle Wastman, MacKenzie Bourg, Liz Davis and Kayla Nevarez won their…
You might have caught the commercial during a recent episode of The X Factor. Season 1 winner Melanie Amaro has not one, but two singles out. The first — “Don’t Fail Me Now” — was actually released a few weeks ago. And its enjoying some success on the dance chart, moving up from 25 to…
In a change of heart, FOX has decided not to air a two-hour episode of The X Factor beginning at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Instead, The X Factor has managed to edit the episode down to one hour and will air it at 9:30 p.m. Reaction number 1: Lots of folks, myself included, would argue that…
Well, Carrie Underwood made it 15 in a row. That’s 15 straight singles to hit number one or number two on the country singles chart. A week ago, I was wondering whether she could accomplish the feat because “Blown Away” was stuck at number three on Billboard’s country singles chart behind a pair of Taylor…
FOX couldn’t have screwed tonight up worse if it tried. The baseball game between the Cardinals and Giants gets delayed. So FOX cuts to a half-hour comedy called “Ben and Kate” that’s very stupid and has just one redeeming feature — Lucy Punch and her adorable accent. Once that ends, they start a 2-hour episode…
Update: Well, we only learned the identity of 10 advancing contestants thanks to some screwy scheduling on the part of FOX. For more on that, go here. At some point, I’ll post who else advances on the show. Update #2: OK, FOX kept airing the show for a while in some markets and MJsBigBlog reports…
