From: Sharon Pohlman I just don't think Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are there. ‘The Masked Singer’ recap: Former teen heartthrob unmasked as the Lucky 6 face off in ‘Merging of the Masks’ 5 Denton Davidson @denton_davidson Reality TV April 16, 2025 It's time for a "Merging of the Masks" for the Lucky 6 on tonight's episode of The Masked Singer! The final six celebrities in the competition are ready to battle it out to get one step closer to the illusive Golden Mask trophy. This week, panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora will have an opportunity to ask some rapid-fire questions to each masked contestant. These could be some of the biggest clues yet! Nick Cannon hosts the zany fun airing Wednesday, April 16 (8 p.m. ET/PT) on Fox. Find out who was unmasked below. Mad Scientist Monster To kick off this Lucky 6 merge, Mad Scientist Monster took the stage after explaining a few things about himself: "If you've been doing your research, you'll know I've basically told you everything about me. I've played sports, I love my wife, and I didn't get here alone. And while you guys are close to solving the equation, there are still some holes in your theories because — spoiler alert — I am not Keith Urban. But, we have shared a stage together. Now here's a colossal clue that will drive you mad." As Mad Scientist's intro package concluded, the state flag for Tennessee appeared on stage. Mad Scientist Monster sang "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" by Shawn Mendes before revealing in his quick-fire Q&A with the panelists that he drives a Ford Raptor, has won "many, many" awards for singing, and is "way younger" than Ken (who is 55). The panelists' guesses were Kenny Chesney (Jenny), Trace Adkins (Robin), and Tim McGraw (Rita).Nessy Nessy performed second after sounding off with a colossal clue of his own: "I really stuck my neck out coming into this competition. I'm usually a pretty private guy, but being back in the spotlight again has made me feel like a total star. The guesses for me have been huge rock legends, but — big spoiler alert — I am not Pat Monahan. Sorry, Ken, you're going to have to get off that train. Feeling a little lost? Here's a colossal clue." As Nessy's intro package concluded, his 2025 tour schedule appeared on stage with shows in Baton Rouge, Littleton, Nashville, Florence, Augusta, Rockford, Portsmouth, Carteret, and Boca Raton.Nessy sang "Stargazing" by Myles Smith before revealing in his quick-fire Q&A with the panelists that he has kids, his favorite social media platform is TikTok, he follows Jenny, and he sings "arguably one of the most famous" love songs. The panelists' guesses were Edwin McCain (Robin), Sting (Ken), and Dave Matthews (Rita). Coral Next up was Coral, who wanted everyone to pay close attention to what she had to say: "I'm having the time of my life being here. Performing is something I've been wanting to do more of, so getting this chance has been awesome. You guys have been guessing some of the biggest pop stars in music, but — big spoiler alert — I can do more than just sing. In fact, you know me from a huge franchise. Here's a colossal clue to dive into." As Coral's intro package concluded, Anonymouse (Demi Lovato) appeared on stage. Coral sang "Ain't It Fun" by Paramore before revealing in her quick-fire Q&A with the panelists that her connection to Lovato is "the happiest place on Earth," she was born on a Tuesday, she's not friends with Rita, and she's not from a famous family. The panelists' guesses were Rachel Zegler (Jenny), Selena Gomez (Ken), and Brittany Snow (Robin).Paparazzo The fourth performer of the night was Paparazzo, who had this to say about his true identity: "Man, if you had told me that this little guy would still be standing here, I'd say you're crazy because I've never sang before. And — big spoiler alert — the next song is the biggest hint to my identity yet, so listen closely. But first, focus on this colossal clue." As Paparazzo's intro package concluded, actress Danielle Fishel (Boy Meets World) appeared on stage. Paparazzo sang

From: Sharon Pohlman Second half of ‘American Idol’ Top 24 sing for America’s vote: Who gave the best performance on Monday, April 14? Denton Davidson @denton_davidson Reality TV April 14, 2025Last night, American Idol judges Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan were blown away when the first half of their Top 24 sang for America's vote for the first time. Will the second half rise to the occasion? Tonight on American Idol: The second half of the Top 24 perform from Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa in Hawaii. After America's votes are counted, two singers from each night will be eliminated when the Top 20 are revealed during a special "Songs of Faith" episode on Sunday, April 20. Mentoring tonight's group is American Idol's Artist in Residence, Jelly Roll, and Grammy nominee Josh Groban. John Foster Age: 18 Hometown: Addis, La. Performance: "Callin' Baton Rouge" by Garth Brooks Carrie's comments: "That was such a great way to kick off the evening. You threw caution to the wind!" Lionel's comments: "It's clear to me that when you go back home you are going to be a national hero. That's the right song and that's the right tempo. You're a natural." Luke's comments: "It was like a Hawaiian hoedown. You're a Louisiana boy doing songs that speak that. It was great!" Desmond Roberts Age: 26 Hometown: Corona, Calif. Performance: "Do I Do" by Stevie Wonder Carrie's comments: "You always just bring the unexpected. You're so good and you make it look so easy. It's effortless. Everything was just right." Lionel's comments: "It was incredible. That band behind you was all over you. Any trip you might have made, they would have run over you. Your voice is just stellar!" Luke's comments: "You gelled [with the bad] like a team. They don't do that all the time. They do that when they've got someone they can make it happen with. It was pro!" Drew Ryn Age: 27 Hometown: Chino Valley, Ariz. Performance: "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne Carrie's comments: "You know what you're capable of. It's never a question when you walk out on stage. You know who you are and it's easy to enjoy the performance when you have that ability." Lionel's comments: "You were totally control of that song and I loved every minute of it." Luke's comments: "I didn't have to judge what you were doing. I was just listening, being a fan, and taking in the song." Canaan James Hill Age: 17 Hometown: Dallas Performance: "Glory to Glory to Glory" by Fred Hammond & Radical for Christ Carrie's comments: "I love your personality. I know you've been dealing with allergies. We know you have tricks on tricks on tricks in your bag. I feel like that might have forced you to simplify a little bit and it was really nice." Lionel's comments: "Every once in a while we witness a possession. That was a possession. Your voice is your signature." Luke's comments: "You have one of the most dynamic voices I've ever seen since I've been on this show. You're under the weather is still better than the rest of the world." Filo Age: 23 Hometown: Dublin, Calif. Performance: "Who's Lovin' You" by The Jackson 5 Carrie's comments: "Your voice is ridiculous. You have been one of my favorites since the first time I heard you open your mouth. Every time you take the stage it makes me more proud." Lionel's comments: "You're the only person I know who can hit a note — and while you're holding that note you give us three different voices. For you to take that song and turn it into your song was brilliant." Luke's comments: "Vote America, vote! Filo, you sing great, but it's up to America to keep voting." Kyana Fenene Age: 28 Hometown: San Leandro, Calif. Performance: "I Am" by Stan Walker Carrie's comments: "I had chills. It was a like a shift in the air.

That was a song that I've never heard, but I was in the vibe. That's what you have the power to do." Olivier Bergeron Age: 22 Hometown: Kedgwick, New-Brunswick P

From: Sharon Pohlman ‘The Voice’ Season 27 Episode 11 recap: Kelsea steals an artist from Adam because she ‘wouldn’t do good in jail’ John Benutty Reality TV April 14, 2025 The Voice Season 27 continued the third stage of the competition on Monday with the third installment of "Knockouts" performances. In this round, each coach will set four head-to-head matchups from their team and will be forced to choose only four winners. While they won't be able to save any of the losers from their own team, each coach will have a Steal to bring a loser from another team with them to "The Playoffs." By the end of the round's 16 performances, 20 artists will remain in the competition. One hallmark of this round is that the artists get to choose their own song to perform rather than have it selected by their coach, as was done in the "Battles." Another is that without guest mentors assisting during rehearsals, it's the first time that John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé and Adam Levine get to work one-on-one with the artists on their team. Team Legend In the first performance of the night, John paired Nell Simmons (one of his "favorite performances of the Battles") with Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing" against Renzo ("so unique as an artist") the Billie Eilish track "happier than ever." Following the two performances, John said that Nell was "poised" and called her performance "perfection" while it was "so cool" watching Renzo go through different waves of his vocal and thinks it was great working with his artistry. In the end, John stuck with Renzo because he's "so different" from anyone else in the competition. For the team's second pairing of the night, John chose the "sultry" Olivia Kuper Harris with Donna Summer's "Last Dance" versus the "piercing" vocals of Jacquelyn George with "Too Little Too Late" by JoJo. John told Jacquelyn her soprano is "effortless" and she performs with "clarity and beauty." He thinks Olivia gave a "confident performance," knowing when to be sultry and when to have more fun with the song. Due to her "style and control," John picked Olivia as the winner to continue to the next round. Team Bublé Michael's first Knockout of the night came from Adam David and Carlos Santiago, a pairing he decided on because of their "beautiful voices" despite occupying different genres. Adam went with the Allen Stone soul/rock song "Unaware" while Carlos sang "You Are the Reason" by Callum Scott. Following their performances, Michael called Carlos "unbelievable" and heard a "character voice" from Adam, but ultimately gave the win to Adam for a "dexterity and power" that will be strong in the live shows. In the second pairing of the night for his team, Michael set Jadyn Cree with "Keep Holding On" by Avril Lavigne against Kameron Jaso with "Say You Won't Let Go" by James Arthur. Following their performances on stage, Michael told Kameron that he thinks he'll be a star and applauded him for taking on a song he was scared about, but he chose Jadyn as the winner because she has a voice that "cuts through" and likes that she doesn't know how good she is. Team Kelsea Kelsea brought Jaelen Johnston and Hailey Wright back together after pitting them as opponents in the last round. Hailey chose the classic country song "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" by Patsy Montana and Jaelen went with the "country-adjacent" song "Dial Drunk" by Noah Kahan. Kelsea thought that both singers improved upon their performances since the rehearsal space, but she kept Jaelen on her team because of his "whole time" on the show rather than just this round. Team Adam In the last pairing of the night and the round, Adam pitted Conor James with "Forever Young" by Alphaville against Darius J on "American Boy" by Estelle. Following the Knockout, Kelsea recognized both of their "individuality" and said it would be "illegal" for either of them to go home, hinting the obvious that she'd be stealing one of them and stating that she "wouldn't do good in jail." Adam told Darius that he "turned it into an even more high energy" song and Conor that he "sung the

From: Sharon Pohlman it's a shame they don't have a second chance play off. I do not agree with who all is TOP 24. 'American Idol' chooses Top 24 singers as Jelly Roll mentors 'American Idol' recap: Jelly Roll mentors as judges make questionable choices for Top 24 KiMi Robinson USA TODAY With four people through to the Top 24 and 20 spots left in the competition, "American Idol" contestants are running on fumes. In Monday night's episode, the remaining 42 singers, sleep deprived from overnight rehearsals, paired up for the head-to-head round. It was sink-or-swim as the aspiring stars struggled to memorize lyrics, went on vocal rest to preserve their overworked vocal cords and — for some — adapted to singing with another person for the first time. While some pairings both made it through to the next stage, other duos only had one successful contestant. In a few rough cases, neither singer earned a spot in Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan's Top 24. Jelly Roll returned to the show as the first-ever artist in residence to dispense advice and encouraging words from side stage. He even got a celebrity cameo for one lucky pair. Here are the top moments from Episode 7.Carnie Wilson defends Lola: Daughter received 'cruel' comments from 'American Idol' fans Judges give a floundering Baylee Littrell another chance Were we watching the same performance as the judges? After a powerhouse delivery from Keilene (who has received almost no airtime thus far) in the second of three "Shallow" performances tonight, the judges instead chose to focus on her stage partner, Baylee Littrell. Underwood said, "Baylee, you were more comfortable singing with somebody else. It’s like we got to see a different side to you." Uh, yeah. We saw that when he did a duet with his dad, the Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell, in the season premiere. It was true that he mostly sounded solid when complementing Keilene's vocals, but alone? His voice understandably sounded tired and overused, and he couldn't reach some notes while her Broadway-ready voice had the ability to pierce through Kevlar. Richie had very fair feedback when he pondered whether the cover was on the verge of being "too powerful," while Bryan insinuated that Keilene was too overwhelming in the closing notes. The country star also accurately pointed out Baylee was "timid" in his verses. Despite Baylee's roughest performance yet, it was Keilene who was shown the door. But Baylee was sent into the Top 24 with a warning from Underwood: "It was not a unanimous decision, so moving forward, I need you to step it up!" Brandon Lake reacts to Breanna Nix and Rylie O'Neill's cover of 'Gratitude' Breanna Nix and Rylie O'Neill, who'd bonded over being moms, paired up to cover a song by Christian worship singer Brandon Lake. Little did they know, the songwriter himself was listening to their performance.After the women delivered their song, eyes gazing upward and arms reaching toward the heavens, Jelly Roll cut off the judges' feedback to bring Lake in via FaceTime. "That was the most gorgeous version of 'Gratitude' I've ever heard," he told Breanna and Rylie. Underwood was emotional as she delivered her comments. "I know how difficult it is to come into the entertainment industry and bring your faith with you," she told the singers. "It is a brave thing to do because there are a lot of outside forces that are going to tell you not to do that. I want to tell you that I’m proud of you guys," she added.There was only one spot left in the Top 24, however, and the judges passed over Rylie to offer it to Breanna. The self-described 25-year-old "just a stay-at-home mom" sank to the floor crying with relief and happiness. Unfortunately, some of the less successful duets were cut for time, and not every one of the 22 eliminated contestants received acknowledgement. Here are the singers who didn't make it into the Top 24.

From: Sharon Pohlman 'American Idol' recap: Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll admit song covers are better than their versions American Idol' recap: Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll admit song covers are better than their versions Jelly Roll and Luke Bryan admit contestants' covers were better than their original songs "Luke, we're 0 for 2," artist-in-residence Jelly Roll yelled back at Bryan after watching Mississippi's Jamal Roberts "beat up" Jelly Roll's own song, as Richie put it. Both Jelly Roll and Bryan seemed humbled after watching these aspiring stars one-up them with their own songs. Jamal brought Jelly Roll's "Liar" to the stage in dramatic fashion with a stool kick, an uncompromising attitude and grit to his voice. As Richie put it, whenever Jamal goes on stage, he performs "like it might be the last time you ever sing." "I would feel disrespectful to call this my song in this moment," Jelly Roll said after Jamal's performance. "This is now Jamal’s song. I was singing Jamal’s song tonight." Bryan had some attitude about the situation, though: "I am mad at Jelly Roll. He has over-mentored," the country star said. Earlier, Illinois' Victor Solomon boldly took on Bryan's "That's My Kind of Night" — and the risk paid off. The judges were up on their feet early on in the performance, as Victor massively upstaged Bryan with his hip-swinging, foot tapping moves. Wearing a cowboy hat, suspenders (that soon came loose due to the aforementioned dancing) and tight jeans, Victor showed impressive voice control as he worked the stage while not missing a single note. The fast-food director from Peoria was the last person Bryan would've guessed would take on his country rock music, and "You can truly out-dance me" at that, Bryan said. So much so that Ryan Seacrest encouraged the judge to come up on stage and learn some new moves ahead of his summer tour. Your voice is perfect for every genre of music, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that before — or heard that before," Underwood said.

Highlights from Sunday's season premiere included Brian Littrell's son singing an original song and a high schoo... Kolbi's voice is like a rubber band; it makes you want to play with it and see how far it will stretch. Her vocals went high, they went low, and she left it all out on the field. Hers was the first performance that the judges stood for, with Bryan commenting, it was "one of my favorite performances I’ve seen on this island." "America, she is back," he said.
