Idol Chatter & Voice Views

The Voice probably does a better job than any of the other singing shows at introducing us to most of its advancing contestants.

But it often leaves out key details of contestants’ backgrounds, such as whether they’re a member of a band or whether they’ve already released music you can download now (in many instances, you can).

And we wind up knowing very little about a few unlucky contestants, who get just a few seconds of screen time.

So I’ve put together profiles of each coach’s top 16. Follow the links below to the story on that contestant.

And keep checking back. A profile will be posted for every contestant before the battle rounds begin Monday night.
