We only saw a few seconds of Laura Vivas’ blind audition on The Voice. But, apparently, it was rather dramatic in that Christina spun around at the very last moment, giving her a spot on a team. “I was so scared,” Laura, of West Palm Beach, Fla., later told Christina Milian. “I said all along…

Diego Val is another of The Voice contestants who overcame a serious disease to make it to The Voice stage.

Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey at odds already?

October 3, 2012 By Mark Franklin 2

Nigel Lythgoe tweeted Tuesday morning that a hurricane was headed for Charlotte, where American Idol was holding callback auditions. Turns out the storm was apparently in the audition room.

She’s just 22, but Cassadee Pope has been playing music full-time for years.

Only one judge turned around for Ryan Jivrovec’s rendition of Lonestar’s “Amazed” on The Voice.

With her hair teased into a mohawk and silver studs all over her ruffled black shirt, Michaela Paige showed up on The Voice stage looking like a contestant born for Team Cee Lo.

Meet Loren Allred of Team Adam on The Voice

October 2, 2012 By Mark Franklin 2

We learned very little about Loren Allred on The Voice because only a small snippet of her blind audition was shown. Fortunately, her bio on the Compound Entertainment website fills in a lot of the blanks. Though she now lives in New York, Loren was born in Pittsburgh, the daughter of an operatic soprano and…

Meet the Season 3 contestants on The Voice

October 2, 2012 By Mark Franklin 7

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,…

OK, I’m getting ticked at The Voice again. How do we not get a full introduction to Lelia Broussard? Her rendition of Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark” is one of the best covers you’ll find from a singer on The Voice. (Check it out below.) She released a fine five-track EP, “Wolves Are at…
