The Voice Recap: Top 10 Perform, With Feeling!

Following the Top 11 results, paring the field down to 10 with the ouster of Darby Walker, The Voice survivors suited up yet again Monday.

The margin for error? Getting slimmer by the minute.

Let’s break down the performances on the night… 

Billy Gilman (Team Adam)

Billy has definitely been one of the better competitors throughout this season of The Voice. His vocals are just so strong and his performance tonight of “Anyway” by Martina McBride did not disappoint. 

Courtney Harrell (Team Blake)

Courtney already appears to have sprung a leak for Blake. Her performance was mediocre and just didn’t seem to be the caliber expected for this stage of the competition. Singing “If I Could Turn Back Time” by Cher was not the best song for her and I think we know who might be in the bottom. 

Josh Gallagher (Team Adam)

Josh has been a bit of a wild card throughout his stint on the NBC singing competition series. He seems to never want to change things up, and it makes me think he’s only good at that one style of singing. He went with “Real Good Man” by Tim McGraw. It was a decent performance, but I can’t be the only one expecting some change from this act. 

Aaron Gibson (Team Miley)

Aaron’s performance was up there with some of the worst. If you’re a record company in the market for a screeching singer, Aaron is your guy. He completely murdered “Rocket Man” by Elton John. 

Christian Cuevas (Team Alicia)

Christian went with “A Million Reasons” by Lady Gaga. It sound generic in parts, but he did manage to hit all the notes. It wasn’t perfect, but it sure as hell was not the worst, either. 

Austin Allsup (Team Blake)

Austin tried to take his voice somewhere new with “Missing You” by John Waite. It did not work, and this could be the performance that brings his stint on the show to an end.

Wé McDonald (Team Alicia)

Wè totally killed it in her performance of “God Bless the Child” by Billy Holiday. It was a complete 180 from her previous efforts and proved why she’s in the running to win the whole thing. 

Brendan Fletcher )Team Adam)

Brendan performed “True Colors” by Cyndi Lauper. It was a similar effort to his recent performances, but he should have tried to change it up a little to ensure he was doing what he needed to in order to show off his vocals. 

Sundance Head (Team Blake)

Sundance continued his momentum with “Me and Jesus” by Tom T. Hall. It was another fun performance that made it clear the other competitors should be scared of how far he might go. 

Ali Caldwell (Team Miley)

Ali went with “Without You” by Badfinger. It wasn’t great. It definitely did not live up to they hype and left us very underwelmed. 

That’s a rap on the performances, you guys!

Who do you think will be going home?

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton Perform New Duet, Eye-Bang Each Other

Do you two want some privacy?

Last night on The Voice, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton rubbed our faces in their love a wee bit more by performing their romantical duet, "Go Ahead and Break My Heart."

Having grown up listening to No Doubt, it"s kind of neat to watch a ska-tastic Stefani shake it up with country music, and I think she was jazzed about it, seeing as she promoted the crap out of it via Instagram.

I can"t help but wonder if Miranda Lambert is watching this performance, gritting her teeth while thinking, "that used to be me."

After, Shelton got candid with People about the collaboration.

"I guess I"m nervous in a new kind of way," Shelton admitted.

"I"m excited because this is a song Gwen and I feel so close to for obvious reasons. It"s as brutally honest and straightforward as you can be in a love song."

An onlooker from the set described the couple"s adorable interaction.

"When they were introduced to the stage, Blake gently touched her lower back, helping her up the stairs," the insider told People, adding that the performance only required two takes.

"The moment he saw her, he couldn"t help but smile," the insider added of their first take.

Shelton and Stefani "shared plenty of sweet, intimate moments during their performance, barely breaking eye contact.

"When it came to singing, you could tell they were very much in the moment.

"Once the song finished, Blake embraced Gwen with a hug and a long kiss on the forehead."

The audience caught the first take, but viewers at home were only shown the second take, so NO KISS ON THE FOREHEAD FOR YOU.

It wasn"t necessary though, because judging from their onstage chemistry, Shelton and Stefani most likely engaged in sexy time immediately after the performance.

Shelton summed up our feelings perfectly when he described the song.

"It"s like people getting a look at something personal for the first time," he said.

Accurate.

Coldplay to Perform at Halftime of Super Bowl 50

The NFL will celebrate an epic milestone on February 7, 2016.

And it will do so with an epically boring selection of halftime performers.

According to Us Weekly insiders, the league has chosen Coldplay to take to the stage midway through Super Bowl 50 next year.

The British rock band – which consists of Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion – is an unexpected choice, considering their song catalog is not exactly filled with up-tempo jams.

The magazine does add that Bruno Mars (who kicked serious booty in 2013 at the Super Bowl) will also be involved in the show in some way, shape or form; as will other “friends of the group.”

Despite previous reports, neither Maroon 5 nor Taylor Swift will take part in the show.

What do you think? Are you excited for Coldplay to perform at Super Bowl 50?

Yes!No!Are you serious?!?

View Poll »

Recent Super Bowl halftime acts have included Katy Perry, Mars, Madonna, and Beyonce, who recently collaborated with Coldplay for the song “Hymn for the Weekend.”

So maybe she’ll make a cameo!

Or Gwyneth Paltrow!

A website can hope, can’t it? Anything to make this uninspired selection a little more… inspired.

Coldplay’s seventh and allegedly finale studio album, A Head Full of Dreams, just went on sale this past Friday.

The Voice Recap: Top 11 Perform, Who Will Survive?

Following the latest rule change and The Voice results show that saw only one singer cut last week, 11 remain to fight for the Season 9 title.

Only one artist will exit after Tuesday’s episode, bringing us down to 10, and then one more next Tuesday, paring the field down to 9 singers.

Then … FIVE will exit at once the following week, giving us our final four. So basically, all of these early weeks are auditions for that night.

Let’s see how the Top 11 did Monday night on that note …

Shelby Brown: “You and I” by Lady Gaga

Seeing Shelby sing something that wasn’t true country (though Gaga’s epic track has a tinge of it and more) was a highlight of the evening.

Evan McKeel: “Smile” by Nat King Cole

Known for his energetic performances, Evan dialed it back, seeking to connect the audience to a moving song with an infectious message.

Barrett Baber: “Delta Dawn” by Tanya Tucker

Basically doing his thing, Barrett’s gritty voice and presence were more than up to the task; Voice voters will decide whether to keep him.

Korin Bukowski: “Only Hope” by Mandy Moore

Looking to bounce back from being last week’s Instant Save, Korin delivered a tender performance and looked even more like Coach Gwen.

Amy Vachal: “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift

Great cover and arrangement by Coach Adam, as this Taylor Swift hit felt original, unique and special in its own right. Will it be enough?

Zach Seabaugh: “Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not” by Thompson Square

It is what it is at this point for Zach. He needs the teenage girls to vote him on and he did little to disappoint them with his latest effort.

Madi Davis: “Love is Blindness” by U2

It was a U2 cover, but Madi channeled her inner Adele and … we don’t even know what. But it left her in tears, and Pharrell leaping from his seat.

Braiden Sunshine: “True” by Spandau Ballet

Coach Gwen said she is trying to avoid the stigma of being a 15-year-old, but was a song that preceded him by decades asking too much?

Jordan Smith: “Who You Are” by Jessie J

Like Madi, Jordan was in tears by the end of this, because it just “feels so good to say it, that it’s OK to be who you are.” He’s also a great singer.

Emily Ann Roberts: “Why Not Me” by The Judds

Coach Blake praised her for turning a Judds song into a bluegrass number, and while she may play to a niche audience, she does it with panache.

Jeffery Austin: “Dancing on My Own” by Robyn

Range. That’s what Jeff boasts more than anything else, and this was yet another prime case of why he’s here and may have staying power.

Who do you think will get the chop tonight? And who do you think has the horses to survive not only Tuesday, but until the final four?

The Voice Recap: Top 12 Perform, Fight For Survival

Having culled the field from 24 to 12 over three nights last week, the Voice is down to its top dozen of Season 9, and they left it all out there Monday.

Two of the Top 12 contestants will be eliminated on Tuesday night’s results show, and the coaches can’t do a thing about it for the first time this year.

Who will survive, and who will get the chop?!

Let’s break it down by the four teams …

TEAM GWEN

Braiden Sunshine took on “Renegade” by Styx, which allowed the teenage wonder to show off some more power. Will it be enough to move on?

Jeffery Austin sang “Let It Go” by James Bay, and while the vocals were strong, his performance lacked that “it” factor … we’ll see if voters concur.

Korin Bukowski performed “Titanium” by Sia and David Guetta, a brutal song to sing but one she acquitted herself well on. She might just survive.

TEAM PHARRELL

Mark Hood performed “Against All Odds” by Phil Collins, delivering another dynamic performance that impressed all of the coaches last night.

Madi Davis chose “Who Will Save Your Soul” by Jewel, treating us to a rendition that was both bold and understated, unique and memorable.

Evan McKeel sang “This Is It” by Kenny Loggins, singing from the heart and making the case that he belongs in this stage of the game as well.

TEAM ADAM

Jordan Smith, the early favorite, poured it all into “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” a departure from his usual pop songs, but an emotional high point.

Shelby Brown selected “In Color” by Jamey Johnson, got ahead of the band early on, but recovered nicely and showed considerable poise.

Amy Vachal performed a rendition of Drake’s “Hotline Bling” with herself on the guitar in a seductive, impressive and unique performance.

TEAM BLAKE

Barrett Baber’s choice of “Right Here Waiting” by Richard Marx showed off his range, but also his struggles at times connecting with the audience.

Emily Ann Roberts’ choice of “Blame It on Your Heart” by Patty Loveless raised a similar issue. Is she good, but not great enough to keep going?

Zach Seabaugh closed out the night with “My Love,” showing a different side of himself and likely earning a ticket to the next round as a result.

Well? Who do you think shone brightest on The Voice and who do you think has what it takes to survive tonight’s results – and beyond?!

Miley Cyrus to Perform All-Nude Concert?!?

Just when we thought it was impossible to be shocked by anything Miley Cyrus said or did…

According to Wayne Coyne, the lead singer of The Flaming Lips and someone with whom Miley once got “high as f-ck” online, the singer and Coyne’s band will soon collaborate on a special concert.

Everyone involved with the show will be naked.

The artist made the announcement on Instagram yesterday by sharing a picture of the Flaming Lips and Cyrus, both posing in their birthday suits.

“Oh f—k..!!! @mileycyrus is planning a show where her, the band ( us ) and the audience are all COMPLETELY naked with milk ( well white stuff that looks like milk) is being being spewed everywhere,” Coyne wrote as a confusing caption.

He added:

“It’s a video ( in the works) for #mileycyrusandherdeadpetz song The Milky Milky Milk…#flaminglips #waynecoyne #mileycyrusandherdeadpetz #theflaminglips.”

Good luck making sense of all those hashtags and all those seemingly random words.

But the overall theme of an all-nude concert certainly appears to be at the forefront here, doesn’t it?

We’d say this is surprising, but, well… did you see this other thing on which Coyne and Cyrus collaborated?!?

We also do know that Miley likes to get naked a lot (see below, NSFW Alert and everything):
