‘American Idol‘ first brought the idea of reality singing shows to its current fame on FOX. Then, NBC came back with their creative spin on the traditional show with ‘The Voice,’ which included coaches, mentors and teams rather than judges and contestants. And now, ABC is bringing a mentoring show of their own to this summer’s television lineup: ‘Duets,’ which premieres this May.
Lionel Richie has been hitting it off with lots of country superstars this week. Last night, Richie and Billy Currington stopped by ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ to perform ‘Just for You,’ a track from ‘Tuskegee,’ Richie’s latest album.
Thompson Square is having a banner year. The husband-wife duo made up of Shawna and Keifer Thompson has been criss-crossing the country, opening sold-out shows for Lady Antebellum‘s Own the Night World Tour. And on Saturday night (April 1) they scored an upset victory over Sugarland when they were named Vocal Duo of the Year a day prior to the 2012 ACM Awards. In light of all this success, the duo has decided not to stop now: They’re currently in the early stages of creating their sophomore album.
The 2012 ACM Awards winners were elated to collect their prizes on the eve of country music’s biggest party. The annual awards show, hosted for a second time by Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton, airs live from Sin City — Las Vegas, Nevada — and pays tribute to the most famous stars in the genre. Natural, selecting the best of the best and naming winners is a daunting task.
Thompson Square put a big end to Sugarland‘s rein as the Academy of Country Music’s Vocal Duo of the Year Saturday night (March 31), when they were presented with the trophy for this year’s award show one night early.

A court order made public on Tuesday reveals that Marion Superior Court Judge Theodore Sosin is ordering both Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush to testify about the events leading up to last August’s stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair. Previously it was believed that only Nettles would have to give a deposition.
Tuesday nights bring doom for the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestants, because one has to turn in their sequins and watch the rest of the competition from home (or at least from a chair in the audience). Who was this season’s first casualty?
Next month, Sugarland‘s Jennifer Nettles will return to Indiana to give a deposition for lawsuits stemming from the stage collapse that killed several people before last August’s concert at the Indiana State Fair. The AP reports that a judge ordered attorneys to find a suitable date to meet in court between April 1 and April 15.
When Sugarland‘s Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush saw the rigging of the giant stage at the Indiana State Fair come crashing tragically around them last summer, they likely felt thankful to be alive first, and second, a horrible grief at the whole situation. What they couldn’t possibly have anticipated in that moment was the onslaught of court cases and finger pointing and legalities that would inevitably ensue.
