Artist: Shakira

Wyclef Jean has now been a solo act for far longer than he was a Fugee. But Clef has never truly been "solo" – his album The Carnival was a veritable carnival of guest spots, and his  April Showers  mixtape is equally feature-heavy. As Wyclef told us in last week's on-camera chat , he's at his best when he's bringing in other big names to toss ideas back and forth, or bringing in new names to cultivate their talent. Needless to say, dude has worked with just about everyone in the business. And that [...]

Presumably, there was a time when  Forbes  reported on financial news and analyzed economic trends. BORING! As far as we can tell, the outlet now exists only as a Play-Doh maker spewing out limitless permutations of  listicles of the Most Powerful/Most Successful/Wealthiest Famous People With Clickable Names. Because, that counts as finance crap, right? The latest roster featuring some big-name pop stars is their list of the World's Most Powerful Women. Beyonce and Shakira both make the cut, at 17 and 52, respectively. Lady Gaga  also slips in at #45. [...]

Oklahoma native  Blake Shelton and his wife, Miranda Lambert , start Tuesday’s episode of The Voice on a somber note. The two sing a moving duet of Shelton’s hit “Over You,” and dedicate the performance to the tornado victims in his home state. As with all of the live performances during the show in this episode, information on how viewers can donate to the disaster relief effort ( redcross.org or 1-800-HELP-NOW) is featured at the bottom of the screen. It’s a classy moment for the show, and for the country coach... ...only to [...]

The Swon Brothers, Josiah Hawley and Kris Thomas Shakira and Usher 's teams just keep getting smaller. Last night (May 21) on The Voice, the top 10 artists faced elimination and for the second week in a row, the two acts eliminated came from the new coaches' teams. Getting the boot from Shakira's team was r&b crooner Kris Thomas . Thomas, who sang mostly ballads during his time on the show, tried his hand at singing a more upbeat, current song by performing Miguel 's smash hit " [...]

When faced with eloquently acknowledging a tragedy on a live show, The Voice knows the right man for the job: Carson Daly . Alright, so he’s a little awkward when he tries to broach any hard-hitting news, but at least he's better than bubbly pipsqueak Christina Milian . The yikes of the delivery vehicles aside, The Voice appropriately acknowledges Monday’s tragic tornado in Oklahoma before starting up the performances. Oklahoman Blake Shelton , notably affected by the natural disaster in his home state, says, “It makes it hard to sit here [...]

Michelle Chamuel The competition is heating up! The Voice season 42s top 10 artists took the stage last night (May 20), hoping to give performances that would be good enough to get them to the top 8. Some did what they do best while others stepped outside of the box to show different sides of themselves. Helping them with their song choices and performances were their coaches and guest mentors. Adam Levine brought back Hilary Scott from Lady Antebellum , Blake Shelton had Sheryl Crow , [...]

Now that American Idol finished up season 12 , it's time for everyone's favorite pastime: speculating about next season's  Idol   lineup. We already know Randy Jackson is leaving , and if the rumors are to be believed, so are the remaining three judges. Before the next wave of rumors hits, though, it's worth noting how competing competitive singing show The Voice  has managed to implement a more structured off-season game of musical chairs. Deadline reports that Christina Aguilera and [...]

Indiscrezioni, rumours sulla nuova edizione di The Voice Usa. Ecco finalmente la verità... Christina Aguilera ha lasciato "The Voice Usa" dopo tre edizioni del programma. Insieme a lei se ne è andato anche Cee Lo Green mentre sono rimasti gli altri due giudici storici del programma, Adam Levine e Blake Shelton. In questa stagione del talent show, al loro posto, sono arrivati Usher e Shakira . E il pubblico ha apprezzato questa nuova formazione, decretando nuovamente il boom di ascolti. The Voice 4 è iniziato a pochi mesi di distanza [...]

It was the return of the mentors on Tuesday’s (May 14) episode of The Voice ! Season 22s Robin Thicke returned, along with current season mentors Hillary Scott (along with the rest of Lady Antebellum ) and Pharrell Williams. The three wise ones — not to mention coaches Blake Shelton and Adam Levine — performed with the final twelve contestants, while Shakira and Usher kept busy by looking hot on the sidelines. Despite the fact that every single performance from Monday’s [...]

Holly Tucker, Vedo, Garrett Gardner and Sasha Allen It was a bad night for the two new coaches on The Voice. Shakira and Usher , both new additions to the coaching panel for season four, each lost a member of their teams when the results were read during the live elimination show last night (May 14). Receiving the elimination news on Team Usher was r&b singer Vedo . Just the week before, Vedo made the top 12 when he was saved by America's votes along with aspiring electro artist [...]

Based on what we’re seeing during the live rounds of The Voice , it is very likely that the apocalypse is near. Last week Al Roker appeared to promote The Today Show (Horseman 1). Then there was Wednesday’s miscount incident with the very serious auditor on stage (Horseman 2). Monday night brought the biggest doomsday sign yet: the air conditioning went out for the live show  (gasp!), prompting Adam Levine to fan Carson Daly (Horseman 3), and Usher to strip down to a tank top (no Horseman there, just [...]

So much excitement on the third night of The Voice this week! Cee Lo is back! Rod Stewart is still performing! Adam Levine brings the broadcast into overtime! Your votes totally didn’t count! Wait...what was that last one? That’s right: your votes didn’t count this week. If it always struck you as odd that American Idol and The Voice ’s voting systems were less flawed than, say, the national government’s, you can rest assured that they’re just as faulty! Carson Daly , accompanied by [...]

Caroline Glaser and Sarah Simmons The Voice season four has got a new top 12. The final 12 singers were revealed last night (May 8) in a dramatic live elimination results show and some of the choices were tough for the superstar coaches to make. For Usher 's team, America saved Michelle Chamuel and Vedo , leaving Ush to choose between Cathia and Josiah Hawley . Usher decided to save former male model Josiah who had a much better performance night that Cathia. [...]

It looks like Gwyneth Paltrow has taken over The Voice , because Tuesday night’s episode sure was Country Strong! Blake Shelton traded his spiked lattes for some Southern Comfort (in a Starbucks cup, natch), and ignored any other genre in favor of straight-up, down home country. “I’m country proud,” said the Oklahoma native, who’s final four performed in Tuesday’s Live Playoffs. Pop diva Shakira even joined in on the country action by performing a duet in genre with her fellow coach. Her team performances, on the other hand, ran the gamut [...]

Night one of The Voice Live Playoffs pairs Team Adam Levine against Team Usher . Shakira , for one, is excited not to be in the hot seat. “I can enjoy the show like every other mortal in America,” she says, proving she knows she’s above mere mortal status. Blake Shelton is really busy pimping Starbucks, holding up what is certainly a spiked latte throughout the show, but luckily he’s off tonight too. The theme of the first round of the Live Playoffs is “stripped down,” allowing the audience hear [...]

The Voice season four is now live. After weeks of blind auditions, battle and knockout rounds, The Voice's newest season finally went live with the first round of playoff performances last night (May 6). Blake Shelton and Shakira 's teams got to relax as Team Adam Levine and Usher battled it out with live performances they hoped would be good enough to get them to the next stage of the competition. Only three singers on each team will remain and make it to the top 12. Here's what went [...]

Laurent Brancowitz y Chris Mazzalai. Durante su participación en el festival  Beale Street 2013 en la ciudad de Memphis, Phoenix declaró en una entrevista para Fuse que estuvieron a punto de escribir una canción para Shakira . Los guitarristas Laurent Brancowitz y Chris Mazzalai contaron también sus experiencias en la ciudad, donde visitaron Graceland (la casa de Elvis Presley ) y vieron a Al Green en una iglesia. Esto fue lo que dijo Brancowitz sobre la situación [...]

If we’ve learned anything thus far on this season of The Voice , it’s that if you chose Usher as your coach, you’ve opted for a season of pain! Sure, Shakira , Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will all give some mild criticism where needed, but if you’re not impressing Usher, you’re going to have to drop down and give him 20. No. Seriously. Usher’s Boot Camp got mighty literal on Tuesday’s Knockout Round conclusion, where his contestants not only sang, but stared, strutted, jumped rope [...]

Monday night, The Voice moved from the Battle Round to the Knockout Round. The latter event, for those off you not versed in the many stages of the show, is drastically different than the Battle Round. During the Battle Round, two contestants from the same team compete against each other, and their coach chooses which one advances to the next round. In the Knockout Round, two contestants from the same team compete against each other, and their coach chooses which one advances to the next round. Yeah, they really just needed to get the most out [...]
