Here we go with week two of The Voice. Yeah, I’ve decided to watch again and try blogging live. Hey, the show had something like 11 million viewers last week. Not Idol-like, but certainly not bad. If you’re just checking in, each coach/judge winds up with eight contestants. And, eventually, the field gets whittled down…
Last week, we missed out on one aspect of the American Idol results show I was anxious to see. That being: Who finished in the bottom three? Come on, you weren’t fooled were you? You didn’t assume Scotty McCreery did, just because he was standing by Casey Abrams when Ryan delivered the final verdict Thursday…
David Cook and his did it again today at the 2011 Race of Hope in Washington, D.C. Before the race began, the David Cook Team for a Cure was pronounced the top fundraiser for the event for the third year in a row. Including David’s Friday night Concert for Hope, the team raised more than…
This week, it was New Movie Tuesday, not New Music Tuesday, that brought a treat for American Idol fans. In fact, a triple treat for fans of Season 7 contestant Brooke White. P&G (Procter and Gamble) and Walmart finally released the DVD/CD combo for “Change of Plans,” a Family Movie Night telefilm that aired on…
Two bright spots to report this week on the Billboard music chart. First, Kimberly Caldwell’s debut album, “Without Regret,” is number seven on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart. Now that isn’t as good as debuting somewhere in the Billboard 200, but it’s not too shabby considering Kimberly is eight years removed from her time on Idol. The…
Judging from the videos below, David Cook was looking snazzy and sounding great at the Concert for Hope last night in Washington, D.C. David performed the concert at the Warner Theatre to help raise money to fund research and support services for those affected by brain tumors. He’ll also be participating in the Race for…
Casey Abrams won’t be the Season 10 American Idol. But he’ll forever be remembered for one of the most dramatic Idol episodes ever. That came back on March 24. You remember the night. It was week three of the finals. And Ryan Seacrest had just delivered the shocking news. Casey Abrams, widely considered an Idol…
Earlier this spring, the American Music Theatre in Lancaster announced Kellie Pickler would be performing there on Aug. 4. Now it looks like the appearance will coincide with some new Kellie Pickler music. First, the concert news: Tickets for that Aug. 4 show go on sale to the general public at 9 a.m. Saturday. They’ve…
I was sorry to see Casey Abrams go home last night. He brought an element of surprise to the show each week that will be sorely missed. I mean, from week to week, I don’t think there’s much doubt about the type of performance we’ll see from Jacob Lusk, Scotty McCreery or Lauren Alaina. Casey…
The remaining five American Idol contestants will apparently give us something old and something new next week. Idol is unveiling what I think is a new theme — Songs from Now and Then — on its Top Five performance show. In a press release issued this morning, Idol explains: The contestants will each sing one…
