Billy Gilman showed up at The Voice as a former child star looking for a second chance at stardom. He made it all the way to the finals Monday night, performing three times. And by midnight eastern time, two of his songs had already cracked the Top 10 on iTunes. That comes a week after…
When the voting ended today for The Voice, Sundance Head must have loved what he was seeing on iTunes. “Darlin’ Don’t Go,” the original he wrote and dedicated to his wife, was number one on iTunes, bumping the new single by Taylor Swift from the top spot. Among The Voice final four, he was scoring…
The Top 4 on The Voice performed original songs on the show Monday night. And they filmed accompanying music videos. I’m embedded those below.

Billy Gilman holds a big edge on social media. Sundance Head has been the show’s iTunes leader three of the past four weeks. Wé McDonald hasn’t done nearly as well on iTunes, but had a big enough following to overcome that and earn a spot in the finals on fan voting. And Josh Gallagher appears…

As of Saturday evening, Billy’s Voice performances have been viewed more than 24 million times on the show’s YouTube channel. That’s 7 million more views than Wé McDonald has received, more than twice as many as…
Wé McDonald was a favorite on Season 11 of The Voice before Season 11 even officially began. That’s because she was featured — along with Darby Walker — on the special sneak peek at Season 11 that aired after the closing ceremony of the Olympics. Everyone got to hear her sing “Feeling Good” and turn…
Several former American Idol contestants have auditioned and earned spots on The Voice. Sundance Head, Top 24 on Season 6 of Idol back in 2007, is the first to make it to the finals. Since then, the country-soul singer has released a pair of albums and an EP. He was 37 when he auditioned for…
Josh Gallagher nearly didn’t survive the knockout round on Season 11 of The Voice. He had landed a spot on Team Blake Shelton with his blind audition cover of “Stay a Little Longer.” But in the knockouts, he found himself pitted against Sundance Head , whom Blake declared the winner. That’s when Adam Levine intervened,…
