April 11, 2013 It’s become a regular way for new artists to break through in music; reality singing competitions like American Idol, The Voice and X Factor are watched by millions. That’s a good thing for an artist who’s trying to make it in the industry.
'American Idol' winner and country music starlet Carrie Underwood knows what it's like to sing your heart out and then wait for judges to decide your musical fate, and she's willing to do it... if she can be the bearer of good news.
February 6, 2013 Winning a reality show competition can be a golden ticket to a big career and that may be the case for recent X-Factor winner Tate Stevens. Tate won the second season of the show which landed him a big record deal and part of the deal is a sponsorship with Pepsi.
Country hopeful Tate Stevens fell from grace a little on 'X Factor' last week, dropping from the top slot on the leaderboard after occupying it for multiple weeks. He's out to recapture that crown, so he decided to change things up a little and do an upbeat song on Wednesday's (Nov. 28) episode -- something we haven't really seen from him in past weeks. He tackled Keith Urban's 'Somebody Like You' with a guitar strapped to him.
On tonight's diva episode of 'X Factor,' country singer Tate Stevens served up a terrific version of Shania Twain's 'From This Moment On.' Stevens was atop the leaderboard in fan votes last week, so the country genre is well-represented on this particular reality series. The fact that Stevens chose to sing a country diva's song for this themed episode was also a nice touch and kept country deeply embedded in the show.
Hunter Hayes is one of the brightest up and coming stars in the country music business right now. The kid is super talented. He plays multiple instruments and can sing his tail off too. Last night on the TV show X-Factor, a kid named Austin Corini took a shot at covering the Hunter Hayes hit "Wanted." Take a listen.....
September 21, 2012 Did you see ‘X Factor’ the other night? I watched and was thrilled to see Tate Stevens sing Randy Houser’s “Anything Goes.” The entire panel told him that he was a star -- this guy really did do this song well. Take a look!
September 15, 2012 There’s three major singing based talent shows on television now and it seems that I rotate season after season as to which my favorite is. They all bring the star power on board and I think my interest in one over the other is the entertainment these judges can deliver on each show. Right now my top dog is…
Every entertainer has a list of requests for their dressing room or wherever they are staying before a performance or live show. Taylor Swift used to request edamame. Blake Shelton's December 2010 backstage rider (requests) included Bacardi Rum, sugar free Red Bull, beer and pizza....just to name a few things (courtesy of thesmokinggun.com). Britney Spears has a boat load of fatty requests on her backstage rider for the show X-Factor. According to Look magazine, Spears needs...
There’s raging speculation over which artists will fill the two vacant mentor positions on the ‘X Factor‘ panel. Heavyweight pop divas like Mariah Carey and Beyonce have seen their names tossed into the ring. Another emerging contender for one of the coveted slots? LeAnn Rimes – and with good reason. ‘X Factor’ could use a dose of country, stat.
I can say this much....Tim Cifers has a nice sound....as for some of his team...eeeehhhhh! Anyways, last night on the X-Factor Tim and his team took on the Rascal Flatts hit "I Won't Let Go". See what you think....
September 23, 2011 Last night the world had a chance to meet Western New York native Caitlin Koch. Besides having great looks and style, this lady can sing! What a great representative of Buffalo's talent.
