The Prophet of Pop

Hit “Like” to share this with your friends! I’ve made it no secret the The Voice is my favorite vocal performance show on the market.  As a taped show it has been put together with skill, paying far more attention to the actual music than it’s competitors.  This was the first live show, and the…

Committed with John Legend Whew, that is too much vocal talent for one picture to handle!  Committed, last years winners on NBC’s hit show The Sing Off, have been busy celebrating the release of their upcoming album and new single “Break Free.”  After you hear it, you…

Hit “Like” to share this post with your friends! Many of you might have wondered why I write about Lady Gaga so often.  Believe it or not, it isn’t just because she is controversial or because she is willing to talk religion.  The main reason I follow her is evidenced in the new commercial for…

Scotty Mcreery did it.  The young singer with the old-time country sound has been charming America from the start, and tonight he took home the grand prize over competitor Lauren Alaina.  More on that later, since some things did happen on the show before that.  Not exactly two hours worth of things, but hey they…

We are down to three contestants on American Idol, and each performed three songs.  Beyonce was there to coach ’em up, and the usual corporate sponsorships were there to remind us what Idol is all about.  Oh and by the way, James Durbin wasn’t there, and as a result the show was a whole lot…

Ah, the world of “reality” television.  This weekend the three remaining American Idol finalists (sadly NOT including James Durbin) returned home to great their fans and to pose at various media circus-type events.  For Garner, NC native Scotty Mcreery, one of those planned events was throwing the first pitch at the North Carolina State-Florida State…

Tonight the number of Idol hopefuls dropped from 4 to 3, and the unfortunate soul to go home was James Durbin.  This was a shock to me, as I was sure that Haley was heading home tonight.  The list of unique voices left on the show has been dwindling since the exit of Paul McDonald,…

Tonight was the biggest night on television according to Ryan Seacret.  Someone should inform the Super Bowl so it can close up shop.  There are only four contestants left, Lady Gaga was there to mentor, and Coke was advertised – it was Idol time. James Durbin – The contestant’s first song had to be an…

I greatly enjoyed the two week opening round of the Voice, and apparently I’m not the only one!  The show attracted over 12 million viewers in it’s second week, making it a legitimate American Idol contender especially amongst older viewers.  This week the show aired at 10 PM on the east coast, making it a…

Since it’s premiere last Thursday night on American Idol I have been trying to come up with something to say about Lady Gaga’s new video for “Judas.”  There are people up in arms about the video, which isn’t surprising considering that some Catholic groups were protesting the video before they even saw it.  After multiple…
