So you go out to dinner and you order the mushroom cheeseburger with truffle aioli and shoestring onions. Your mouth is watering and your stomach is growling, but then the waiter comes out 20 minutes later and shakes his head.

Here we are, at the fifth and final night of Blind Auditions for The Voice season 9. Going into the final round, Team Adam, Team Gwen, Team Pharrell and Team Blake have 10 artists each. Two of those competing artists are actually duos, but we are going to refer to them in the singular for simplicity's sake going forward. In other words, Pharrell has 11 individuals on his team, but because two of those are a duo, we will say that he has only 10 artists, leaving him room for two more. Same goes for Adam. Make sense? During this final night of Blinds, Gwen, Blake, Pharrell and Adam will have to be prudent about which vocals they hit their buzzer for because they can only add two more artists each.

Night four of the Blind Auditions for The Voice featured the second duo act of season 9, along with many other talented solo artists. The coaches are starting to get more picky with who they'll turn their chairs for, but nine more spots were filled nonetheless.
BuddyTV spoke with those advancing artists during a conference call. Some of them discussed leaving their bands to become solo artists (or a duo, in the case of Andi and Alex) on The Voice. Viktor Kiraly explained why he's taking a big risk by leaving Hungary to do this show. And they described their experience of auditioning for The Voice -- which artist didn't understand what Gwen Stefani told him until he watched it on TV? Read on to find out.

If you’re even a semi-regular watcher of The Voice Blind Auditions, you probably know the five simple rules for ensuring a better, brighter viewing experience:
1. Don’t get attached to a contestant on the basis of his/her intro package alone — not even if she’s a sweet young woman from Coal City, Wv who tearfully tells the grandparents who raised her that her audition wouldn’t be possible without them.

'The Voice' Recap: Blind Auditions Part 3 - Gwen Stefani Wins Over Returning Artist Anita Antoinette
Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton battled it out in another round of Blind Auditions on The Voice, picking up standouts Kelli Douglas and returning artist Anita Antoinette.
Blind Auditions Part 3
John Martin “Sweet Pea” The cute son of a pastor who dropped out of college when his dad lost his job, and plays both the piano and the guitar. He kicked off his performance with a sweet whistle, before launching into the song. Blake was the first to turn around, and for a while it looked like he would get John on his team by default, but then Gwen turned around, soon followed by Pharrell. John told the coaches he saw himself writing “cheesy love songs,” prompting Gwen to wave her hands in the air and say, “That’s me!” In the end, Blake’s early turn won John over. John Martin: Team Blake.

Did your favorites make it into one of the final four groups? See who’s sailing through to the next round and weigh in!
With just one week until “The Four-Chair Challenge” — you know, that thing that sounds suspiciously like something you might see on The Voice – the judges were under a lot of pressure to narrow down the competition on the Sept. 26 episode of The X Factor. And narrow they did! Simon Cowell and the gang hand-picked 10 contestants to be in each of the show’s four categories, but as we saw, making those decisions was no easy task.
Girl (Group) Power
The evening kicked off with Glamour, a trio of tweens that decided to sing the National Anthem for some ungodly reason. The girls’ voices were good, and they made it through, but seriously… the National Anthem? That was one performance I did not salute.
A second female trio followed,...

Plus, did a Justin Bieber clone really slay the panel with a Selena Gomez song? It was a crazy night, so read on for our top five picks!
The X Factor roared into its second week Sept. 18 with more of what we’ve come to expect from Fox’s musical titan: A ton of rejects – Simon Cowell‘s got to get his frustration out somehow, right? — and a few surprise performances that you’ll probably be talking to your co-workers about tomorrow. Unless you hate your co-workers, in which case you can just sit quietly and reflect on the episode by yourself like a weirdo.

Sadly, Simon missed out on the biggest surprise of the night — nay, one of the biggest surprises of the season so far. Unassuming 15-year-old student Danie Geimer, dressed in floral and chilling behind a pair of glasses, busted out a killer rendition of...

‘The X Factor’ really does have the x-factor; it’s got the most un-groomed, undeveloped talent of all its competitors — and watching the contestants’ performances, and their families’ reactions, makes it the most emotionally-gripping show on TV today.
Rachel Potter, Simone Torres, Denise Weeks and Al Calderon made the Sept. 12 second-night premiere episode a blow-your-mind experience. Watching nondescript-looking Long Islander Simone , 19, in her T-shirt and lavender jeans, break into a deeply-soulful rendition of “Mustang Sally” was the kind of surprise that makes the show must-see TV.
Simone Torres Belts Shocking Vocals
There was just no hint that That voice and intense emotion resided in that young body.
Simone confided to the TV cameras before her performance that she just hoped she wouldn’t be booed off stage. But from the moment that she opened her mouth and revealed her stunningly rich and deep notes, singing Wilson Pickett‘s version of...

‘The X Factor’ returned for a super-sized premiere event, and without getting to ahead of myself, I think we might have already met this year’s winner.
The X Factor‘s two-night season premiere continued Sept. 12, and although the second night didn’t have quite as many sexy grandmas as the first, it was still bursting with talent. In fact, it featured what Simon Cowell called the best auditions he’s ever seen on the show — including one young gentleman from Long Island who might just be the next Justin Bieber. Only taller and less Canadian.
Denver Auditions: A Mixed Bag Of Emotions
The first “yes” went to Riley Brown, 15, who performed ‘her’ version of Zedd‘s “Clarity.” She was pretty shaky at first, but then she got better, even to the point where Demi Lovato started to tear up. “I absolutely love you,” Simon told a super-excited Riley,...

Here we go again Britain's Got Talent fans! In the fourth and penultimate live semi-final, nine more acts will take to the stage hoping to impress the judges and the voting public for the chance to add the coveted title of "Bgt finalist" to their CV/Twitter bio.
Tonight's acts include an impressionist, a magician, a self-confessed diva (no, we don't mean David) and it wouldn't be a Britain's Got Talent semi-final without an obligatory dance troupe or two.
So, put the kettle on, break open the hobnobs and join Digital Spy from 7.30pm when the excitement begins on ITV.
21:02Well, that's your lot guys! Thanks for keeping DS company during the show, and what an all-singing, all-dancing show it was! Just enough time for a cuppa before we find out who the lucky two finalists will be in the results show at 9.30pm. Simon Cowell's been recycling...

Sytycd‘s Los Angeles and Austin auditions were full of enlightening, revelatory performers (and their children, in some cases). We learned so much that we could forgive the strange, not-completely-justified inclusion of guest judge Minnie Driver, who wouldn’t be my first choice in Best Supporting Actress nominees to judge these dancers. (Bring me Lauren Bacall, dammit!) I did chuckle when Minnie claimed her hotel was haunted. Because Minnie really believed it. And that’s a funny, zany thing to think, my dear.
Here are the five greatest performers from the two-hour extravaganza. The first one here wasn’t an official auditioner, but I think you’ll agree it deserves a plane ticket to Vegas or some other isolated desert land.
5. Mary’s Hair, the most dynamic dancer of the evening

The most valuable lesson we learned from last night's Girls Only competition on American Idol was that Gotye is no one's friend. The evening's competition consisted of a sudden-death a cappella performance, followed by the dreaded group round. In short, it was just like boys week, but slightly higher pitched. However, Ryan Seacrest warned that there would be "massive cuts," because there were more girls than guys.
