Trevin Hunte finally hit the road last week leaving soulful Nicholas David, rocker Terry McDermott and pop singer Cassadee Pope vying for the crown. After weeks of auditions, battles and live performances, tonight we will finally know who'll be Jermaine Paul's successor. The black guy trend is already broken but can the male trend be broken too? ... This is The Voice!

X Factor US Season 2: Top 6 Perform: Unplugged songs/Pepsi Challenge
18 December, 2012 1:26 AM
Last week, Paige Thomas and Vino Alan left the competition "in the most shocking elimination so far". Tonight, everyone is fighting for a place in the semifinal as the top 6 risk everything singing unplugged songs and facing the Pepsi challenge. Anything is possible, no one is safe, anyone can go home (If you haven't noticed it yet, yes, I'm mostly quoting the intro)... It's time to face the music!

X Factor Ukraine 2012: Top 5 Perform
17 December, 2012 11:19 PM
Last week early favourite Julia Plaksina left the show. The public was
shocked and tried to convince the producers to bring her back but failed,
obviously. Why bring her back if the public didn't vote for her in the first
place? So now, Sosedov is lonely and desperate. I wonder how harsh his
critiques will be tonight? Today each act will sing two songs, a
retro-song and a current song. Judges can't change anything anymore and
there won't be a song for survival, the public alone will vote one act off,
simple as that ... It's time to face the music!

Skylar Grey: "C'mon Let Me Ride" (feat. Eminem) First Listen
15 December, 2012 8:48 PM
UPDATE: Watch the music video!
"My new song is a very clear example of the part of me that will surprise my fans. I'm also really silly and I have a really dirty mind", the singer confesses. The song is definitely a major departure from darker tracks like "Coming Home", favouring a more poptastic sound. The stand out isn't the song itself though, but the raunchy lyric video, which is plagued with hilarious sexual references from beginning to end. This is what Skylar had to say about the song's meaning: I'm poking fun at the overly sexualized aspects of today's culture and music and everything". Yeah, right. Regarding her debut album, it's no longer called "Invinsible", nor is coming out this year. Now it's title is "Don't Look Down" and will be hitting the stores, presumably, on spring 2013, with Eminem as the executive producer. So Skylar fans, you'll just have to wait a little longer.

Carmen Smith: "They Don't Know Me" Music Video
14 December, 2012 5:56 PM
Back in May, after making it to the live shows on the debut season of The Voice of Australia, we learnt that audition stand-out Carmen Smith had been disqualified from the competition, allegedly for having an unfair advantage over the fellow finalists by being featured on one of Guy Sebastian's (XF Au judge) videos. That didn't stop the soul lady though. Her debut EP, "They Don't Know Me" is already out. It's actually been out for a while, since August 24, and honestly, I forgot about posting this underrated gem when I first saw it. Either way, the EP is probably not what you were expecting from her. "They Don't Know Me" is a funky, uber stylish, uptempo soulful debut, proving that there’s more to Carmen than the soulful performances she gave us on The Voice. Her quirky debut didn't chart on the ARIA charts but that doesn't really matter as long as she keeps giving us more material like this and if she stays true true to herself, she's on the right path.

X Factor Ukraine 2012: Top 6 Perform
12 December, 2012 11:06 PM
Talent shows make something with our minds. I was getting home on the train a
couple of days ago when two street musicians entered. They started to
sing and I just couldn't stop judging them on how well they connected
with the song and made it their own. I didn't even know I had those phrases
ready in my head. But I guess we all do now. Let's use them on the next
portion of the show then! Today's theme confuses me a little, "Cover versions". Isn't
everything on shows like this a cover? ... It's time to face the music!

X Factor Sverige 2012: Top 3 Perform: The Grand Finale
11 December, 2012 12:14 AM
I'm looking for a Swedish translator, if anyone is interested, please email me.
J.E.M., our manufactured group, and the last one remaining, left the competition last week, when the audience decided to save fellow bottom 2 contestant Isak Danielsson, who seems to be less unlikely to win as the weeks past. Who'll be crowned the winner tonight? Old fashioned Benny Hult? Poppet Awa Santensson-Sey? Or underrated soulman Isak? ... It's time to face the music!

X Factor UK 2012: Top 3 Perform: The Final!
10 December, 2012 9:38 PM
Union J lost out on a place in the final last week after polling the least votes in an unsurprising result. So now we have an all solo male final, Christopher Maloney for the Overs and Jahmene Douglas and James Arthur for the Boys. Personally, I would like James to win but I have a feeling that it might just be Jahmene who clinches it and there's always the fear that Christopher could end up winning, hopefully not but you never know with this show. It's Time To Face The Music!
