DaNica Shirey advanced to Top 20 on The Voice Monday night. The first York County contestant on NBC’s hit singing show, Shirey scored a Team Pharrell knockout round win over young Katriz Trinidad. She sang Whitney Houston’s “Saving All My Love for You” and received praise from The Voice judges. Blake Shelton called her “a…
The knockout round returns to The Voice tonight after a one-season absence. Last spring, The Voice opted for a pair of battle rounds instead of a knockout round. I prefer this format much better; I suspect contestants do, too. The battle round is a strange beast. Teammates are asked to compete against each other while…
York County’s DaNica Shirey made an impressive debut on Season 7 of The Voice, turning three chairs with her blind audition. What could she do for an encore? Nothing short of turning in one of the best battle round performances The Voice saw this season, one that turned out so well the show used it…
Thanks to The Voice promos, we already know one of the knockout round matchups on Team Pharrell. Pharrell will pit two of his four-chair turns — Luke Wade and Taylor Phelan — against one another, which opens up a spot in the live round for another of his singers. Remember, four of the eight listed…
The Voice’s country coach heads into the knockout round with three country singers on his team. And if Blake Shelton has been paying any attention to how well country singers have done on this show — and you’d better believe he has — my guess is he’ll try to get at least two of those…
Team Adam heads into this week’s knockout round on The Voice with three singers who turned four chairs during the blind auditions. But if I had to pick a sure bet to make the live rounds a couple of weeks from now, I’d point my finger toward talented singer-songwriter Matt McAndrew. Beyond that hunch, the…
Team Gwen definitely got stronger during the battle round on The Voice. Gwen Stefani managed to steal spunky pop singer Beth Spangler and country rebel Craig Wayne Boyd, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see both of them in the live rounds a couple of weeks from now. Other Team Gwen favorites to advance would…
Lee made a name for herself on The Voice by belting out covers like “I Put a Spell on You” with confidence and maturity well beyond her 16 years. Now 17, the Season 5 runner-up just released a five-track debut EP that shows she can do more than belt out classics made famous by someone…
Martinez’s first official video — “Dollhouse,” about a perfect family that isn’t so perfect — has 9.4 million views on YouTube. Here’s betting fans will be even more intrigued by her second video, released last week. It’s for a song called “Carousel,” another of the four tracks on her debut “Dollhouse” EP. In it, Melanie…
Duos have not fared very well on NBC’s The Voice. The one exception: The Swon Brothers, country-singing brothers Zach and Colton from Muskogee, Okla., who placed third back in Season 4. And they’ve continued their success after the show. Their debut single, “Later On,” reached number 13 on Billboard’s country airplay chart and number 21…
