Tate Stevens Still In The Running On The X-Factor

Posted on by

Tate Stevens Still Doing Great On The X-Factor and Moving On To The Next Round! Thanks to some of our dedicated readers, The X-Factor contest, Tate Stevens was brought to our attention, and we’ve been following his progress since! This talented guy is as humble as they come, and we just love rooting for him. It doesn’t hurt either, that with each performance his proves that tuning into his performances is more than worth our time! Last week, he shook things up and gave viewers his version of Keith Urban‘s “Somebody Like You“. Along with the judges, I really enjoyed the change up in pace, and I thought Stevens nailed it. Still (and I hate to say this), I’ve got to agree with Simon, on that one tiny criticism in regard to his dance moves. On the other hand though, there is something really endearing about Tate’s lack of “hollywood polish” in his stage presence, and honestly, I don’t think that detracts from his performances at all. If you’re already a fan of Stevens, go ahead and enjoy the recap below! If you haven’t checked him yet, do it now! You can keep track of Season 2 of The X-Factor on their official page. Sidenote: I love Tate’s quote, “Second only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.” Perspective, people. Watch Tate Stevens Perform “Somebody Like You“. Did you know you can buy Tate’s renditions of the country hits he sings on the show? Yep, you can! Check it out.

Blake Shelton’s “Not So Family Christmas” Special Airs On NBC Next Week, December 3rd! I generally like to wait until after Thanksgiving to get in the Christmas spirit, and tuning in to Blake Shelton‘s Christmas Special on Monday, December 3rd is going to be a great way to kick off this month’s festivities! Since The Voice is going so well for Shelton, it makes complete sense the network would give him a time slot for a Holiday special, and it looks like its gonna be pretty good! The TV holiday show is humorously titled “Blake Shelton’s Not So Family Christmas“, and will feature performances tunes from his recently released Christmas album, “Cheers, Its Christmas” including duets with Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Kelly Clarkson and (adorably) his mother, Dorothy Shackleford! That already sounds like a great program to me, but there’s more. Comedians Jay Leno and Larry the Cable Guy and The Voice coach Christina Aguilera will making appearances for comedy sketches throughout the show. Check out the previews below and be sure to tune in on Monday, December 3rd at 10pm ET on NBC! Blake Shelton’s Not So Family Christmas Special Preview.

Tate Stevens On The X-Factor: Are You Watching?

Posted on by

Aspiring Country Singer Tate Stevens Is Taking Reality Show, The X-Factor, By Storm. After being the mean guy on American Idol forever, I was kind of over Simon Cowell, and because of that I’ve kind of been ignoring The X-Factor (USA edition). Thanks to some of our twitter followers and dedicated readers (thanks y’all!), my attention has been drawn to one of the reality show’s most popular contestants, aspiring country music singer, Tate Stevens. All the typical television over-dramatization aside, Stevens has got some real talent, he’s a humble guy and he and his wife are completely adorable. He’s just an average dude, chasing a dream, and now, along with Simon, I kind of want him to win. Check him out below, and find him on Twitter. Watch: Tate Stevens Performs Shania Twain’s “From This Moment” on The X-Factor.

Rascal Flatts On Chelsea Lately

Posted on by

Rascall Flatts Will Be on E!’s Chelsea Lately & NBC’s The Voice! Rascal Flatts will be on Chelsea Lately tonight, November 19! E!’s comical and sometimes controversial Chelsea Handler gives an interview unlike most which makes her segments all the more better. Her episodes that feature country stars always give me a laugh as the stars usually can barely answer a question from laughing themselves! The group will also appear on NBC’s The Voice tomorrow, November 20. Last week, Jason Aldean made his first performance on the show with “The Only Way I Know.” He had some help from two of the shows contestants, so I assume Rascal Flatts will do something along the same lines! Both of these appearances are to celebrate the release of their DVD project, RASCAL FLATTS: ALL ACCESS & UNCOVERED. The DVD is available starting today. It debuted in movie theaters across the country in a one-night-only event in conjunction with their CHANGED album release this past April. The DVD includes exclusive performance footage of some of their biggest hits and new music from CHANGED, as well as in-depth personal interviews from the road and inside the home studio of Jay DeMarcus where the album was recorded. Rascal Flatts will extend the Farmers Insurance Presents “Changed Tour” into 2013, kicking off a winter leg on January 10 with special guests The Band Perry.

Carrie Underwood To Sing Two Black Cadillacs at American Music Awards

Carrie Underwood Debuts New Single “Two Black Cadillacs” at 2012 American Music Awards! On Sunday night, Carrie Underwood will be representing for country music at the 2012 American Music Awards when she debuts her new single, “Two Black Cadillacs“, in what no doubt be a powerfull and stellar performance! The single will start getting airplay on country radio on November 26th. Catch the American Music Awards Sunday, November 18th at 8/7pm central on ABC. “Two Black Cadillacs” is featured on Carrie’s most recent album, Blown Away, which debuted in May. Maybe its just me, but the songs she’s released so far (“Blown Away“, “Good Girl“) seem to be a little darker than her previous single. She has other songs about cheating and hardship, sure, but these seem to have more edge. Maybe its something in the instrumentals? Whatever it is, I love it!
