Fans speak out about Idol’s new judging panel

September 24, 2012 By Mark Franklin 4

Bucky Covington performed in York County on Sunday. And where a former Idol contestant goes, lots of Idol fans follow. So I figured it would be a great place to get fans’ perspective on the new American Idol judging panel, made up of Randy Jackson, Keith Urban, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. Here’s what some…

If you didn’t get enough Lauren Alaina Saturday night at the York Fair — because that was a pretty short nine-song set — the runner-up from American Idol Season 10 just announced her 18-City Inch-by-Inch Tour.

Meet Kelly Crapa of Team Blake on The Voice

September 21, 2012 By Mark Franklin 0

Kelly Crapa is one of those surviving contestants we met very briefly on The Voice. We saw her sing a tiny snippet of Taylor Swift’s “Sparks Fly.” We saw her land on Team Blake. That was it. But, apparently, she landed on the right team. In her Voice bio, we learn that Kelly, just 15,…

Meet Adanna Duru of Team Adam on The Voice

September 21, 2012 By Mark Franklin 4

Based on what I just heard on YouTube, The Voice cheated us by showing us so little of 15-year-old Adanna Duru. All we saw on The Voice was Adanna singing a snippet of “Edge of Glory” and landing on Team Adam. Adam’s reaction upon hearing her: “You’re 15 and already at that point. I’m even…

September 21, 2012 By Mark Franklin 2

Brian Scartocci told The Voice he was trying to teach his children a lesson by trying out for the show. The 26-year-old from Austin, Texas, said he married his high school sweetheart and they had two children. But, by 2010, he says his marriage was crumbling because they’d gotten married too young. And it sounds…

Meet Beat Frequency of Team Christina on The Voice

September 21, 2012 By Mark Franklin 4

Duos don’t have a history of success on The Voice. The husband and wife team named Beat Frequency hopes to change that. The husband is 35-year-old Shawn Lewis, veteran of a Christian rock band. The wife is Natasha Neuschwander, 28, who has worked as a studio vocalist and professional sports dancer. They met in church…
