Last night, "The Voice" Season 4 continued with more Blind Auditions, and among the successful contenders was a wonderfully familiar face: Jon Peter Lewis, who nine long years ago was a top 10 contestant on "American Idol" Season 3. Will "The Voice," arguably a show much more suited to JPL's uniquely quirky talents, give him the second chance he so deserves? My "The Day After" cohost Matt Whitfield and I certainly hope so.

But JPL and his new duo Midas Whale were hardly the only standouts last night. Season 4's second episode was chock-full of talent and refreshingly light on filler, as promising contestants like throwback-country crooner Tawnya Reynolds, blue-eyed-soulman Josiah Hawley, Latina diva Cathia, and the just-plain-amazing Sarah Simmons all rocked the mic...and rocked our worlds. Watch me and Matt discuss last night's stellar talent (and stellar new coaches) in our latest chatfest below!

Last night, "The Voice" Season 4 premiered with two new coaches, Shakira and Usher, sitting in for Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green--but it was still the same old show we all know and love. There was fantastic, fun judge chemistry (something "American Idol" and "The X Factor" could use a LOT more of), quite a few impressive auditions...basically, all the right buttons were pushed, so to speak. You know, it's amazing how much I missed this show, even though it had only been off the air for three months.

So, did my "The Day After" cohost, Matt Whitfield, enjoy this week's "Voice" premiere as much as I did? Watch us talk about last night's coaches and contestants in our first chatfest of this season to find out!

Last night on "American Idol," Paul Jolley went home in ninth place--which was not that huge of a shock, but it was a notable result because it officially marked the end of the "WGWG" reign on "Idol." Yep, it's the end of an era, y'all.

Today, my "The Day After" cohost Matt Whitfield and I discuss Paul's downfall; last night's results-show performances by alums Casey Abrams and Jessica Sanchez; and frankly, how Casey and Jessica's appearances made us pine for more exciting "Idol" seasons past. Check out our latest chatfest, and feel free to join the discussion on the message board below.

The Season 11 "American Idol" runner-up just released her first single, an uptempo duet with R&B superstar Ne-Yo titled "Tonight," and she performed it on "Idol's" top nine results show to major fanfare. Her debut album, Me, You & The Music, is finally set for an April 30 release, and this May, the 17-year-old babydiva will join the cast of "Glee" for this season's final three episodes, portraying a powerhouse singer at a rival school--clearly a role she was born to play.
