A new single from Mishavonna

September 9, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Remember Mishavonna Henson? If not, you’d have a good excuse. She was one of the many Idol semifinalists swallowed up by the numbers game on season eight of American Idol, when we got to see far too little of many talented contestants.

September 3, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Can Danny Gokey become the next Kellie Pickler? Or Carrie Underwood? Apparently that will be the goal. A week ago, Danny said he’d have a record deal soon and that he was going country. The news became official Wednesday when 19 Recordings/RCA Nashville announced his signing. Fans can expect a single late this fall and…
