  • The fourth Blind Auditions episode of "The Voice" Season 4 aired Tuesday night, and it offered quite a diverse array of talent: a former fashion model, a teen YouTube star, a wedding singer, and a couple of long-haired rocker dudes. Do any of them have what it takes to become the next Cassadee Pope, or at least the next Jermaine Paul? Maybe. One of them might even have the potential to be the next Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood. Read on to find out why.

    Audrey Karrasch - Audrey's sob story, if you can call it that, is that she used to be a fashion model, and that experience did a number on her psychologically. Oh, boo hoo. This show is full of people with dying parents and doorstep-orphaned pasts, and that's the best this gal could come up with? Really? I know the modeling world can be cutthroat--hey, I watch "ANTM," too--but this wasn't exactly a tale of woe that was going to make "Voice" viewers root for Audrey. But then…Audrey sang Jessie J's "Price Tag," and suddenly she

  • Last night, "The Voice" Season 4 continued with more Blind Auditions, and more awesomeness ensued. From the good shticky fun of the Swon Brothers to the sweet country goodness of Holly Tucker to the all-out adorkability of Michelle Chamuel, there was much for me and my "The Day After" cohost Matt Whitfield to enjoy. Watch us discuss last night's Blind Auditions in our latest chatfest below, and we you hope you enjoy that too.

  • Much ado has been made about "American Idol's" alarming ratings slump this year--last Thursday, the show sank to an all-time ratings low in its dozen seasons--and many naysayers and haters are claiming that controversial judge Nicki Minaj is the reason for "Idol's" decline. But while it's true that Nicki, who with her wigs and sassy backtalk sometimes seems more suited for the judging panel of "RuPaul's Drag Race," has undoubtedly alienated "Idol's" most conservative viewers, I think it's unfair to lay all the blame on her. No one judge can be held responsible for a show's success or failure--note that in an age of singing-competition fatigue, not even superstars Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson were enough to respectively help "The X Factor" or "Duets." And after all, it could just as easily be assumed that Nicki brought a new audience of diehard "Barbz" to "Idol," or that fellow new judges Mariah Carey and Keith Urban drew in additional viewers, to compensate for any supposed Minaj-instigated audience exodus this year.

    No, there's a different sort of exodus going on here, and I think it's the real main reason for "Idol's" ratings plummet. It's the mass exodus of the type of contestants that have pleased the show's core fanbase since at least Season 7: cute boys with guitars. There, I said it.
