The Voice Superbowl Commerical

Posted on by

Blake Shelton and The Voice Mentors Get Funny for Superbowl Ad. It’s no secret that over the past few years, the Superbowl and its media extravaganza has become just as much about the ads that air during its prime airtime as it is about the actual game. NBC’s The Voice producers clearly weren’t about to miss out on this year’s golden opportunity to steal a little more limelight for the upcoming season of their hit series! Blake Shelton (clearly, our favorite mentor!), Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera are back and kicking the season off right with a funny and action packed trailer for the season (with a special guest…). Check it out below, and make sure you catch up on last night’s season premiere if you haven’t already! 2012 The Voice Superbowl Ad [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OjVPRGD8ow]

Billy Ray Cyrus Writes Memoir

Posted on by

Billy Ray Cyrus Signs Deal With Amazon To Write Memoir. Billy Ray Cyrus has signed a book deal with industry giant, Amazon.com. Cyrus’s memoir is titled “Hillbilly Heart“, and will release in the Spring of 2013. Amazon released the news last week and indicated that Cyrus’s memoir will cover the early years of his life well into the days of parenting a teen…you may have heard of his daughter, Miley Cyrus. The Cyrus family was in and out of the headlines for awhile with the controversy of Billy Ray and Miley’s father-daughter photo taken by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair, his and wife, Trish’s filing for divorce in 2010, and Miley’s girls-gone-wild escapades all over the U.S. I am wondering how much “candor” he’ll utilize when broaching those topics, assuming he addresses them at all. Will you read Billy Ray’s memoir?

Shooter Jennings The Deed and The Dollar Video

Posted on by

Shooter Jennings New Video for The Deed and The Dollar. Listening to Shooter Jennings new single (released Jan. 3, 2012), “The Deed and The Dollar” gives me one thought, “Ahh, now this, is country music.”, followed quickly by a second thought, “I really dig this track!”. And I do…dig it. It’s a great tune with a simple message and mellow, subtle lyrics. The video which recently released matches the song perfectly. It is beautifully made without any kind of pretense or overt showmanship. It’s just Shooter hangin’ out, playing his guitar, and singin’ his song best he knows how. Can we really ask for more than that? Should we? Check it out below. Watch Shooter’s “The Deed and The Dollar” Now. The Deed and the Dollar – Shooter Jennings – Shooter Jennings Videos

Jessie James When You Say My Name Video

Posted on by

Jessie James Releases New Music and a New Video. Jessie James has released a new video for her current single, “When You Say My Name” which debuted on CMT today (you can watch it below). It had been about a year since we’d heard anything from James, so I had to take a little stroll down memory lane to remember who earlier tunes. After giving her music a listen, I could see why it was hard for me to remember her. Jessie James isn’t really a country singer. She is a pop singer, if that. Actually, a couple months ago country music’s internet news sources were all abuzz because it had been revealed that the pop diva Katy Perry wrote her 2009 single, “Bullet“, a song that is shamelessly trying to pass for something it can’t be (a country song). Sure, James has that throaty, country roughness thing going on in her vocals, but really, it sounds a little too forced to be genuine. Also, the details in her songs that are, I’m assuming, supposed to be the country “hallmarks” (like the strumming of a banjo), sound more like an after thought than an organic part of the song. I’m just not buying it, and if you’re on the same page with me, this video isn’t going to do much to convince you otherwise. Take a look, and let us know what you think.

Scotty McCreery American Idol Audition Revisited

Posted on by

American Idol In Retrospect: Scotty McCreery’s Idol Audition. Well, a new season of American Idol is well underway, and over here at CMNB that got us to thinkin’ about last year’s winner…yep, Scotty McCreery, the young man that has experienced an overwhelming amount of success in an incredibly short amount of time. It’s always kind of fun to go back and check out stars before they were stars. So, take a look at his audition video below. Walk Down Memory Lane with Scotty and His Idol Audition. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV1do6TuMBw] We’re not the only ones looking back in time. In a recent interview Scotty McCreery got a little nostalgic about his run on American Idol, and even doled out a little advice to this seasons contestants: don’t stress out! “…I made that mistake a couple times. You’re just there to sing, have fun, and really entertain the crowd…If you let the stress of the TV part of it, the live show part of it get to you, the singing and the entertaining won’t be fully there. Stay laid back, get your songs right, work hard, and you’ll be set.”-Scotty McCreery Currently on tour with Brad Paisleyand The Band Perry, no doubt Scotty is learning how to cope with a whole other kind of stress these days! I’m sure at the same though, he’s takin’ it in stride and learning all he can from a country music great like Paisley.
