CeeLo Green was on The Tonight Show yesterday and Jay Leno asked the F*ck You singer about his talent for singing TV Theme Songs. Seems the coach from The Voice has a knack for singing the songs that open television shows. So the NBC late night host asked him to sing a few. First up was The Golden Girls, followed by The Jeffersons, Family Ties and finally The Brady Bunch. All four of those songs were made a little bit better with his voice, that is when he knew the words to them.
Seriously his excitement as he belted out those songs, just brought a big old smile to my face and I am hoping it does the same for you!
BTW it really makes me sad that shows have stopped using theme songs because they really helped to make shows better and more memorable. Think how excited you get whenever you hear the opening to Friends, Cheers or The Greatest American Hero to name a few. It’s a happiness the networks are depriving us from these days and I want them back. Do you agree?
Sean Hayes has three shows airing on NBC: Grimm, Hollywood Game Night and Sean Saves the World. Well I guess that isn’t enough for him because he also auditioned to be on The Voice. The peacock network released his audition video and you will totally want to die in his arms after you hear it.
Although it looks like we might have a new name for the coaches, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera, because I think they should now be known as the Cutting Crew. I don’t know why they didn’t see what I saw in him. Oh yeah it was during the blind auditions.
The Voice returns to NBC on September 23rd and Sean Saves the World makes it debuts on October 3rd. Both are shows you don’t want to miss.
Remember how Jennifer Lopez didn’t have time for American Idol this season, well The Voice did have time for her during their season finale.
One source told Page Six, “It was simply a matter of timing. The producers love Jennifer Lopez and tried to make it work, but due to the show’s format it just didn’t allow for another solo performance.†Then another one added, “Cher was booked months in advance. There was only room left for someone to do duets [with the finalists]. But the genres were country and EDM [electronic dance music] — which did not seem like a natural pairing.†Or maybe she just wasn’t a natural pairing for the show since she did the other singing competition?
CeeLo Green Tweeted this picture of himself after a show and I couldn’t get over how hot he looked!
You know with his arm stretched out like that, it’s like he begging you to hug him. And you know what I would totally do it.
File this under major ouch. Almost 9 million people watched Leanna Mitchell win the first season of The Voice in The UK, but only 895 (yes there are no zeros after the 5) of them bought her self-titled CD according to Radio times. That means she only sold one record for every 10,000 people who watched her win the title. It gets worst the album charted at #134, not even in the top 100. Painful.
I didn’t know who she was until I saw this story and even I feel absolutely horrible for her. But then again at least she got to release a CD, something she probably wouldn’t have done without out the show. Although with those numbers, she probably could’ve sold just as many if she made it herself and sold it on a site like CDBaby.com.
