Kendra Checketts certainly wasted no time getting new music in the hands of her new fans. Less than a month after being eliminated from The Voice, Kendra released a single called “Nightmare.” It’s the lead track from an upcoming EP and Kendra told Voice Views she made it her first post-show single “because the vibe…
Each member of The Voice Top 4 will take the stage three times tonight. Maelyn Jarmon of Team John Legend and Team Blake Shelton’s trio of country artists — Dexter Roberts, Gyth Rigdon and Andrew Sevener — will each sing two solo songs and perform a duet with their coach. One of the solos…
In my mind, Maelyn Jarmon was already the favorite to win The Voice. And now she’s singing the granddaddy of all singing show favorites on tonight’s performance finale. That would be Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah,” which can typically be counted on to provide a moment for a skilled vocalist. As she’s proven time and time…
Last year, Laine Hardy failed to make the Top 24 on American Idol Season 16. Sunday night, the 19-year-old from Livingston, La., was named the winner of Season 17. What changed?

They kept the recaps of the triumphant trips home by the Top 3. They’re always heart-warming to watch….
Remember back in early March on American Idol? Laine Hardy strolled into the American Idol audition room with his guitar to support former French Settlement High School classmate Ashton Gill during her audition. Ashton wound up earning a golden ticket, but the Idol judges wouldn’t let Laine leave the room without performing a song….
Alejandro Aranda is rolling the dice on his own music tonight. In an American Idol first, he’ll sing two original songs during the competition round of tonight’s show. Alejandro is going up against Madison VanDenburg and Laine Hardy for the Idol Season 17 crown tonight. And while Alejandro is singing originals, Laine is going…
The American Idol judges compared Madison VanDenburg to Kelly Clarkson. Now Madison will take on a Kelly song in her quest to become the next American Idol. American Idol just released the songs the Top 3 will perform tonight. And in addition to Madison covering Kelly, Alejandro Aranda is going to serve up two more…
Think back to when we met Maelyn Jarmon on The Voice. She told the show she was living in New York, working as a waitress to “get by” and had been “very close to giving up on music. “The Voice sparked a new fire for me.” And how. Maelyn turned four chairs with her blind…
