Tonight, The Voice shocks us with something even more gripping than an unexpected elimination: Cassadee Pope brings down “Gangnam Style” — sort of. Admittedly, it wasn't through a powerhouse performance, but nonetheless, Blake Shelton ’s team member knocks “Gangnam Style” out of its #1 spot on iTunes with her cover of Blake and Miranda Lambert ’s “Over You.” We’re sure PSY will remain ubiquitous — he’s still at #2 — but it might mark the end of [...]

Check out this single, You're My Song , off of A Rocket to the Moon's new EP titled Got That Feeling . The genre is Adult Alternative, but I'm sure some of you Kansas folk and those a like would argue, this sounds a little bit country. By a "little bit", I mean "a lot a bit". This track serves up a taste of the band’s forthcoming full-length, “Wild & Free,” recorded in Nashville with famed producer, Mark Bright (Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Lonestar) . The tour veterans return to Nashville on 10/17 [...]

It was a good night for former American Idol champs at the 2012 CMT Music Awards, as country crooners Carrie Underwood and Scotty McCreery both went home with awards. Underwood, the night's big winner, took home the honors for Video Of The Year (for "Good Girl" ) and Collaborative Video Of The Year (for her Brad Paisley pair-up "Remind Me"). McCreery was awarded the USA Weekend Breakthrough Video Of The Year statue for his country [...]
I vigorously defend lots of country music that sends others running. Yet there is one band that drives me absolutely batty. I need to confront and dissect this visceral feeling that their music is the worst, ever. It's time to face my enemy: Rascal Flatts. Everyone has music that instantly sends them into convulsions and makes them run screaming with an "eewww" expression on their face. It feels almost instinctive when it happens, an innate reaction to something that's just... gross. There are many music fans out there, perhaps especially within young, hip music-obsessive circles, who feel this [...]

Lionel Richie has been on my mind this week. A lot. Not just because I've been writing a piece about him for my Sound and Vision column at OurStage. He's been in my head because everywhere I go, his songs seem to be blaring in my ears. Lately, unexpectedly, he's been all over the radio in Thailand, with tracks from Tuskegee , his recent No. 1 album featuring duets with top country stars on his golden oldies, as well as the original versions of some of those golden oldies. The only Richie songs on [...]

Lionel Richie may owe the IRS a bundle of cash , but the versatile singer at least has the triumph of a chart-topping album to be thankful for this week. Tuskegee debuted on the Top 200 two weeks ago, behind Madonna 's MDNA (which had some crying foul ). After slipping to #4 last week, the country duets LP has risen to the top of the heap thanks to a boost from CBS' special ACM Presents: Lionel Richie & Friends In [...]

My site was hacked but we're back with a temporary skin. Check it. Revamp coming soon (well not that soon) maybe a couple of weeks. Meanwhile here is Wednesday's Billboard chart since I missed it last week, and as you can see, Nicki Minaj and her big bootie topped the char with an impressive 253K. Can we just pause for a moment and realize that Adele has yet to leave her Top 10 spot in over a year, in addition that bitch has SCANNED over 8.6 Million (U.S. alone). I can't even [...]

Admittedly, I haven't been paying much attention to Arcade Fire for a long time, because last time I listened to them in 2006, the only reasonable song of theirs was "Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)." Yet, even that song is kind of boring. Not into the whole "Modest Mouse" pitchy voice thing either. In 2006 when "Tunnels" was released, we knew two people who talked about how awesome the band was. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, always, but those same two people also enjoyed bands like Rascal Flatts, Pete Yorn and Lifehouse, which pretty much speaks for itself. [...]

At last night's 45th Country Music Association Awards , the Band Perry — who snagged trophies for Song, Single and New Artist Of The Year — emerged as the big winners from the event, which was hosted for a fourth time by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood and held at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. Other noteworthy wins included Entertainer Of The Year, which went to Taylor Swift, and Musical Event Of The Year, which was lauded to Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson's duet "Don't You Wanna Stay". Aldean also walked away with the [...]

Natasha Bedingfield and Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts Country and pop got together at the 2011 Country Music Association Awards in the form of Rascal Flatts and Natasha Bedingfield and the results were pure magic. The country band and the British songbird got together to perform their duet, Easy , at the big awards show. Although Natasha was dressed in a pretty hideous outfit, she sounded truly amazing. Her voice was soulful, stunning and blended perfectly with lead singer Gary LeVox 's . It was one of the best performances of the [...]
Country music super group Rascal Flatts is the latest member of the Grand Ole Opry. The trio was surprised by the news during their performance on the Opry this past Tuesday. 29-year Opry member Vince Gill made an unscheduled appearance, interrupting singer Gary LeVox, bassist Jay DeMarcus and guitarist Joe Don Rooney in the middle of a performance. After starting with a joke about an unpaid golf debt, Vince extended an invitation to join the Opry. The band will formally be inducted on October 8th. Congratulations guys! You definitely deserve the honor. If you ask me, you guys should have [...]
