The Voice US: Season 4: The Live Finals: Top 8 Perform
31 May, 2013 8:47 PM
Acoustic pop model Josiah Hawley and RnB singer Kris Thomas left the competition last week, with only one male act remaining. That also leaves both Usher and Shakira with one member on their teams while Adam and Blake still have their three acts. Could one of them lose all their acts tonight? Or is it time to say goodbye to someone on Team Blake? Maybe on Team Adam?

28 May, 2013 7:58 PM
The live shows began last week when the Top 13 took the stage to tackle #1 hits. Unfortunately, one of them was a flop, as indie darling Eden Roberts was sent packing when facing hip hop duo L.O.V.E. With only a few stand outs, the first night was a big disappointment. This week we are celebrating NZ music month, which was first celebrated on May 2002.

Welcome back guys! I've not been following The Voice up to this point,

16 acts and tonight, Team Shakira and Team Blake take the stage. By the end
of the week, only 12 will remain. Two will be saved by the audience and one by the coaches. Will your fave make it?

X Factor New Zealand: Season 1: Top 13 Perform: Number-one Singles
22 May, 2013 10:17 PM
New Zealand is finally getting their own edition of the XF. The show was originally announced on 2010 but it wasn't until early 2013 that it went into production. Hosted by Dominic Bowden, who was previously seen on New Zealand Idol, the show premiered on April 21, 2013. Australia's talented has always been impressive, so we've got to wonder, are the Kiwis equally as good?

KZ Tandingan: Debut Album Out Now!
17 May, 2013 8:04 PM
Wondering where she's been hiding all this time? KZ was crowned the inaugural winner of the X Factor Philippines back in October. We've gotten nothing from her since, besides the occasional TV appearance. 5 months later, here she is, with a brand new album and single. Released on May 3, the self titled debut showcases her gorgeous tone to perfection, "Umiibig" is one of the songs that comes to mind. It's a relief to see that she's stayed truth to herself, with her jazz roots staying intact. Her original cover of "Killing Me Softly" is also a stand out, with her emotional first single "Scared to Death" also worth a listen and the slow "Bakit Lumuluha" the stunner of the album. All in all, a wonderful first effort from an insanely talented singer. She has a bright future ahead and I intend following it.

Interview: Amanda
7:25 PM
She'll always be remembered as that phenomenal singer who shockingly missed the final on the sixth season of the Danish XF. Amanda was the front runner from the very beginning yet she only placed 4th in the competition. It's hard to say what went wrong, since the girl didn't miss a beat in the entire competition. This is my chat with her, in which she answered some burning questions for us. Like, who was the master mind behind those amazing songs, why we saw her cry during the JH and what's next for her. If you ask me, brilliance.

Poll: X Factor New Zealand Is a Go!
4:26 PM
UPDATE: I've decided to start covering the show! Since this is it's first season, I won't be recapping either the auditions, bootcamp or Judges Houses, just the liveshows. Let's just treat it as an experiment! The first performance show airs May 19!
Almost 3 years since first announced,the X Factor NZ is finally seeing the light of day. Judged by Daniel Bedingfield, Melanie Blatt, Ruby Frost and Australian Idol S7 winner Stan Walker, the show, which premiered today, is NZ's first attempt at the franchise. XF Australia has been quite great the last couple of years and The Voice Australia is a monumental success. Could NZ achieve the same amount of talent? Can the production values be as high as their Aussie counterpart? Most importantly, can it produce a star? As you can see, I'm in a dilemma and I need your help to solve it. You'll find a poll after the jump and hopefully, it'll make me decide if it'll be worth recapping!

8:22 AM
So after several weeks of blind auditions, we're at the Battle Rounds when each coach will slice their teams in half by pitting them against each other in pairs. However, this year there is a twist as each coach has one 'steal' which allows them to steal an act that one of their fellow coaches has decided to send home. So as twelve acts are cut down to six then rounded up to seven, who will deliver a knockout blow and who will be KO'd by their opponent?
