will.i.am
Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am has spoken out over his frustration with executives at Universal Music and blamed them for the lack of success singer Leanne Mitchell, who won the British version of The Voice last year.

Mitchell, who was mentored by Welsh crooner Tom Jones, has had no chart success since releeasing her debut single, "Run To You," which failed to crack the British Top 40. Her debut, self-titled album was released in the UK on May 27 and also failed to chart, and now the music producer has spoken out over the lack of support for the singer, who signed a record deal worth over ...

June 17th, 2013 3:20am EDT
The Script
The Script star Danny O'donoghue is often left behind by his bandmates during their free time at music festivals because the singer gets mobbed by fans.

The Irish rockers have won a huge fanbase around the world since their first album was released in 2008, but O'Donoghue's star rose even further after he became a coach on U.K. TV talent show The Voice.

The band headlined Britain's Isle of Wight festival on Sunday (16Jun13), but members Mark Sheehan and Glen Power insisted their frontman was now too well known to enjoy the festivities.

Ricky Martin: 'Joel Madden is facing the hardest time of his life'

Joel Madden
Ricky Martin has thrown his support behind his embattled The Voice co-star Joel Madden in the aftermath of his headline-grabbing drugs bust over the weekend (08-09Jun13).

Madden hit the news for all the wrong reasons after a police raid on his Sydney hotel room turned up a bag of cannabis, and drew the wrath of anti-drugs campaigners who called for the rocker to step down as a mentor on the Australian version of the TV talent show.

The Good Charlotte star's co-worker Ricky Martin has now revealed the musician is struggling in the aftermath of the incident, and insists the public should ac...

TV Ratings: Basketball A Slam Dunk For ABC

June 13th, 2013 8:35am EDT
'America's Got Talent'
A lot of people spend their time going out for ice cream rather than watching TV in the summertime. Ratings typically dwindle, and in rerun-land, atypical programs often claim the top spots. Last week, NBA Finals games nabbed the Top 3 spots on both ABC and TNT.

NBC had a pretty good week, topped by ‘The Voice’ and ‘America’s Got Talent’ in 4th and 5th place, respectively. CBS had to settle having seven reruns in the Top 20, although its Tony Awards broadcast did well in 11th place. With ‘American Idol’ out the window for now, FOX had only one show in the Top 20, ‘Masterchef,’ which averag...

Blake Shelton is one step closer to winning his third straight The Voice title.

Both of Team Blake's remaining singers - Danielle Bradbery and The Swon Brothers - advanced to the hit NBC show's finals on Tuesday, meaning that he has a two-thirds chance of having the winning artist. Team Usher's Michelle Chamuel is the other finalist.

Team Shakira's Sasha Allen and Team Adam's Amber Carrington were eliminated, the latter despite the fact that she cracked the Top 10 on the iTunes singles chart, an achievement which is supposed to multiply an artist's iTunes votes by ten.

Sir Tom Jones: 'The Voice winner was taken over by label bosses'

Sir Tom Jones has defended himself against critics who slammed him for losing touch with his contestant on U.K. singing contest The Voice, insisting his former protegee was "taken over" by record label bosses.

The Welsh star coached Leanne Mitchell to victory on the TV show last year (12), helping the singer beat three other finalists to snap up a recording contract.

But her debut album went on to sell less than 1,000 copies, and Sir Tom came under fire after Mitchell recently revealed she hadn't heard from him since The Voice wrapped.

Shelton, who is a coach on the American version of the singing contest, became enraged when Houston Chronicle music critic Joey Guerra posted a link to his latest TV blog on his Twitter.com page with the caption, "The Voice sends one singer back to Texas.

Blake Shelton
Blake Shelton finally saw one of his singers sent home on this week's The Voice elimination show. He also became the second coach to stir up some buzz in two weeks, as the country superstar had a few choice words for someone who made some unkind comments about the unlucky eliminee.

The Voice whittled its Top 6 down to the Top 5 on Tuesday night, and it was Holly Tucker, the Baylor marching band standout, who was sent home. Tucker was visibly upset when host Carson Daly revealed that America's final save went not to her but to her teammates, The Swon Brothers.

Adam Levine
Adam Levine has been called out by fans for saying, "I hate this country," during a live episode of The Voice on Tuesday night.

The Maroon 5 singer didn't realize his microphone was still on when he uttered the words under his breath after two of his remaining three contestants, Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons, were voted off the show (Levine's final contestant, country singer Amber Carrington, was spared elimination).

Many called for NBC to fire him from the show -- and some even for deportation -- for his 'unpatriotic' comment, which Levine, in all likelihood, probably didn't say as an ac...

Could Blake Shelton three-peat on The Voice?

It certainly looks that way after this week's results eliminated his biggest competition, and left all the show's other coaches - Adam Levine, Shakira and Usher - each with only one artist to pin their hopes on.

Team Adam's Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons, who both turned four chairs in their blind auditions and were each considered possible winners, were sent home on Tuesday. Their exits mean that the only Team Adam singer left is Amber Carrington. Amber is actually a country artist, as Blake has mentioned several times on the show, including th...

The second week of live playoffs on The Voice was just as crazy as the one before it - but at the end, it came down to one of the most important things in the singing competition: song choice.

Monday's Top 12 performance show had more than a few eyebrow-raising moments. A heat wave knocked out the Los Angeles studio's air conditioning, forcing everyone to sweat their way through half the show until it could be repaired. At one point, host Carson Daly found out that if the temperature rose too high, the lights could go out. "That'll be fun for America," he quipped.
