The Voice – NBC’s New Singing Competition Show “The Voice” Recruits Mega Stars

You’d have to be living under a rock not to have heard about The Voice on NBC, which premiered this past Tuesday, with a repeat performance shown on Wednesday night. American Idol just might have some strong competition for ratings and viewership now that fans have had an opportunity to watch The Voice, and seen how refreshing the new singing show is.

As an avid fan of American Idol, beginning with Kelly Clarkson’s spectacular win with that magnificent voice of hers, as well as the many other past American Idol contestants who have gone on to do great things in their chosen music career, I’m hooked on The Voice. What a great show NBC has created, masterfully chosen musician coaches (not judges, like on Idol), and the brilliant concept of having singers perform blind auditions where each singer is heard but not seen. Genius!

American Idol 3/31/11 Top 11 to Top 9 – Who is Getting Voted Off American Idol Tonight?

Tonight’s double elimination of TWO American Idol contestants may or may not come as a shock, depending on who your favorite Idol contestants are. Last night’s performances of Elton John songs was entertaining to say the least. However, two are going home tonight, and there are no save votes the Idol judges can use to save anyone being kicked off the show tonight. Who will it be?

Season 10 of American Idol has almost made AI fans forget the last two years of dismal ratings and so-so singing talent. This season of Idols has some spectacular talent, great singing voices with enormous range and abilities, and some of the contestants already show stage presence so that we can almost (almost) feel as though we’re sitting in their concert. So, who will be voted off tonight on American Idol is anyone’s guess, but AI prediction tools may or may not indicate who is most likely to be sent home.

American Idol Season 10 Schedule Air Dates Move to Wednesday and Thursday

American Idol Season 10 doesn’t start until January 2011 but FOX and AI’s Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe have been very busy making big changes to the show in apparent hopes to revive the popularity and ratings of American Idol. Season 9 wasn’t very memorable in many people’s views, including mine. Simon Cowell ran off into the sunset to do X Factor, Kara DioGuardi got the boot, Paula Abdul has been gone awhile, leaving sole original judge Randy Jackson to carry on.

Yeah, we’ve got the new judges team of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steve Tyler on board. Yawn. Nigel Lythgoe announced recently that the Top 24 contestants is no more, but American Idol contestants will move right on to the Top 12 after Hollywood. AI is keeping the theme weeks, but the challenges contestants will face with the new season have increased.
