Blake Shelton News

We are halfway through THE VOICE's Season 7 Battle Rounds, and I honestly couldn't tell you a single person who has won so far. Though there have been many memorable moments, the majority of them have involved the superstar coaches. However, tonight, I think that is going to change. In a performance preview video Team Pharrell beltresses DaNica Shirey and Toia Jones absolutely destroy Beyonce's 'Halo' in every possible good way. I have barely had a goosebump all season, let alone the full-body bumps that this performance gave me. Check it out for yourself below.

NBC will rebroadcast Barbra Streisand's hour-long appearance on THE TONIGHT SHOW tonight, October 21st.

"The 48th Annual CMA Awards" will present genre crossing duet performances by Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor, who will perform with Little Big Town and Miranda Lambert respectively. "Pretty Little Liars" actress and DMG Nashville recording artist Lucy Hale will be joining the evening as a presenter, live, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET) from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on the ABC Television Network.

A Life of Love and a Love of Art: An Evening with Ryan Neal Green, Oct. 24 at 7:00pm at Duplex Cabaret Theatre, 61 Christopher St New York, NY 10014. A night of music inspired by extraordinary quotes written by everyday people.

Country star Trace Adkins will hit the road on November 14th for The Christmas Show 2014 Tour, continuing the holiday tradition he started last year with this reverent theatrical and musical production for the whole family. Fans can also bring The Christmas Show home with the "The Christmas Show" DVD available now.

Pharrell Williams, who is receiving sensational reviews in his inaugural season of 'The Voice,' will be returning to the eighth cycle of NBC's Emmy Award-winning series with fellow coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera, as previously announced. The eighth cycle will begin in early 2015.

Well, tonight is the night when I generally begin to lose interest in NBC's juggernaut singing competition THE VOICE. As we transition from the ever compelling Blind Auditions to the generally disappointing Battle Rounds, it always annoys me that so much time and attention is focused on the coaches and the guest mentors. Yes, I love the fact that the singers are getting expert tutelage, but the show's attention should be, you know, on the contestants. While this is the only area where THE VOICE doesn't rise to the level of AMERICAN IDOL, for me, it has often been a deal breaker. I never feel the connection to THE VOICE contestants that I do to those on IDOL. Hopefully now that I am reviewing every single performance, I will actually get invested in some of the singers.

"The 48th Annual CMA Awards" will present Country's cutting edge with performances by Eric Church, Florida Georgia Line, and Kacey Musgraves live, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET) from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on the ABC Television Network.

The American Music Awards, the world's biggest fan-voted award show, today announced the 2014 American Music Awards nominees. In advance of today's announcement, recording artists Jason Derulo and Charli XCX rose at the crack of dawn to reveal 5 categories of nominees on ABC's "Good Morning America."

40 down, eight to go! As we enter the final night of THE VOICE's Blind Auditions, each coach is still looking for two contestants to round out his or her team. While there hasn't been the top-level talent that we've seen on THE VOICE in previous seasons, the breadth of talent is still as impressive as it ever has been; in fact it still dwarfs that of AMERICAN IDOL.

The superstar lineup continues to grow with the announcement today that Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Kenny Chesney, and Tim McGraw are each performing during "The 48th Annual CMA Awards'

Atlas Music Publishing (Atlas) has acquired the catalog of one of Nashville music's most successful independent music publishers, Combustion Music, it was announced today by Atlas CEO

Country music star and coach of NBC's 'The Voice' stopped by this morning's TODAY to perform his new single 'Neon Light' from his 11th studio album, 'Bring Back the Sunshine' .

Three down, two to go. There were only two Blind Auditions left coming into tonight, and the four VOICE teams were aleady starting to take shape, a fact that the coaches remind us of multiple times throughout the broadcast. Now that each coach has a substantial stable of singers, they are starting to be a bit pickier on who gets them to hit their buttons. Though I believe that this was hands down (pun intended?) the best Blind Audition of the season, there were still some questionable decisions of the chair-turning variety.

Amazon.com, Inc. today announced that the new Blake Shelton album, Bringing Back the Sunshine, is available on Prime Music - the same day as its full release.

Grammy-nominated country superstar and CMA's four-time reigning Male Vocalist of the Year Blake Shelton releases BRINGING BACK THE SUNSHINE today, September 30th on Warner Bros. Records.

The first two nights of THE VOICE's Blind Auditions last week, presented us with a lot of ups, but a few uncharacteristic downs from a show that prides itself on having the best singers on reality TV, and the third night wasn't much different. That being said NBC's megahit still provides the most compelling audition process on TV, and makes other singing shows (cough AMERICAN IDOL) look like the minor leagues in terms of talent.

The star-studded lineup for Country Music's Biggest Night continues to grow with today's announcement of performers for "The 48th Annual CMA Awards."
