The Voice Pictured: Reba McEntire — (Photo by: Tyler Golden/NBC) 2023 NBCUniversal Media, LLC As a coach on The Voice, Reba McEntire is working with young performers who are just starting out their career. Obviously, she’ll have plenty of lessons to teach her team members, whether it’s helping them with their singing or helping them with their life choices. After all, McEntire has been through all of the ups and downs the music industry has to offer, and she’s had to learn to adapt many times along the way. In fact, she’s branched out beyond music on several occasions, acting on television, in movies, and even on Broadway. When we’ve spoken to McEntire, she’s talked about how her perseverance and adaptability have paid off in extending her career far beyond that of most performers.

The remake of Disney's classic The Little Mermaid is wisely bringing back the beloved songs from the original soundtrack while also including new ones from Lin-Manuel Miranda. Disney's original The Little Mermaid was released in 1989, and it’s based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of the same name. In The Little Mermaid, Ariel (Halle Bailey) is a mermaid and the youngest daughter of the king of the ocean, King Triton (Javier Bardem). She dreams of being able to walk on land and makes a pact with the undersea witch, Ursula (Melissa McCarthy), to live on dry land.

Famed composer and frequent Disney collaborator Alan Menken returns to score The Little Mermaid live-action remake. Menken has been nominated for 19 Academy Awards, winning eight, including one for "Under the Sea" in the original Little Mermaid animated film (he was also nominated against himself that year for "Kiss the Girl"). Many...

Every new live-action Disney remake comes with a few new songs complimenting the animated classic’s original score, to expand on the world of the beloved characters (and also to qualify for the Oscars Original Song category). But in next month’s “The Little Mermaid,” some of the tunes from the original 1989 animated movie will end up sounding quite different from how fans remember them.

Alan Menken, the composer of the film’s original score, revealed in a new interview with Vanity Fair that alterations were made to two songs from the original “The Little Mermaid” for the upcoming remake. Menken, who worked on the original film with the late lyricist Howard Ashman and teamed up with Lin-Manuel Miranda for the remake’s music, said the changes were made to modernize the messages portrayed in the classic numbers.

One of the songs that got altered is “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” the...

Nominations for the 52nd NAACP Image Awards were announced on Tuesday, and ABC’s black-ish and HBO’s Lovecraft Country led TV’s comedy and drama packs, respectively.

Topping all of TV as it did in 2020 (and the year before…), black-ish amassed 11 total nominations, including recognition for Outstanding Comedy Series and eight of its stars. (Last year, black-ish won in nearly every category for which it was nominated, including its fifth consecutive trophy for Outstanding Comedy). HBO’s Insecure followed with seven total comedy nods.

2020 is now firmly in the rearview mirror, and we’re headed full steam ahead into the heart of the Winter TV Awards season in earnest. With that in mind, there’s little doubt what Apple TV+ is thankful for as Golden Globe nominations lurk just around the corner.

“Ted Lasso” seems like the gift that keeps on giving for the streamer, now entering its second year of existence. Inspired by a series of promos for Premier League football — soccer to us brutish Americans — airing on NBC Sports, the series centers around its titular character (Jason Sudeikis), a college (American) football coach from Kansas who takes a job coaching an English Premier League team, unaware that his hiring is predicated on the assumption that he would tank the franchise.

Developed by Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt (who also appears in the series as Coach Beard), and Joe Kelly, “Ted Lasso” is...

Exclusive: Patrick Ness’ book Burn, set in 1957 about a girl and her father who hire a dragon to work their farm, is being developed as a television adaptation after Bad Robot optioned the rights.

Ness, who has written nine books as well as the screenplay to 2016 fantasy feature A Monster Calls starring Sigourney Weaver, Felicity Jones and Liam Neeson, will write and exec produce the adaptation.

J.J. Abrams will also exec produce alongside Bad Robot’s Head of Television, Ben Stephenson. Executive Vice President of Television Rachel Rusch Rich will co-executive produce. It will be produced in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Rather than play on a traditional stage, the group performed in an intimate studio space, highlighting every guitar strum and finger snap during the motivational anthem. “There is enough, so ask for more/Fill you up,...

ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” Apple TV Plus’ “Little Voice” and Netflix’s “Locke & Key” and “Away” are the four television series that have just earned the Ruderman Family Foundation’s Seal of Authentic Representation, Variety has learned exclusively.

TV provided a lot of memorable musical moments this year.

Some were amazing, and some were very disturbing.

Plus a few classics were dusted off and found new life during these dark times.

1.  "Wonderwall"/"Bad Romance"/"Let It Go" - Ted Lasso

Just when you thought Afc Richmond football couldn't score any higher in the adorable and endearing categories, they went to a karaoke bar on Ted Lasso Season 1 Episode 7. 

Sam's rendition of "Wonderwall" was heartfelt. Coach Beard's performance of "Bad Romance" would make Lady Gaga proud. Then Rebecca brought down the house with "Let It Go."

The only thing more entertaining than the singers were the reactions of the usually gruff Roy Kent and a shirtless Dani Rojas. 

2.  "I Want to be Evil"/"Someone to Watch Over Me - Lucifer

Compared to Lucifer Season 4, the first half of Lucifer Season 5 didn't feature the cast showing off their vocals as often.

Apple TV+'s Little Voice hails from Jessie Nelson and Sara Bareilles, the power duo behind the Broadway hit, "Waitress."

It centers around a struggling artist in New York City, Bess King, who suffers from a bought of stage fright -- or awkwardness -- thanks to being laughed off a stage a year prior.

Bess is at a low in her personal life and her professional life, resulting in the perfect recipe for rich storylines and episodes that leave you wanting more. With a stellar cast and beautiful music, Little Voice is a show that everyone should check out.

The Music

The music, obviously, is sensational thanks to the artistic genius that is Sara Bareilles.

From songs like "Simple and True" to "Dear Hope," each piece of music perfectly represents where Bess is at in her life at that specific moment. The songs never feel forced and are seamlessly worked into the show.

Sara Bareilles’ voice is not a little one, but that hasn’t kept her from recording her own versions of the songs she contributed to the Apple TV Plus series. Ten of them are collected in the new album “More Love: Songs from Little Voice Season One,” which got a surprise drop as Thursday gave way to Friday, after Bareilles had teased the likelihood of such a release without being too specific since the show’s premiere.

The album is only available digitally for now; a physical release on CD and vinyl won’t arrive for another two months, landing Nov. 6.

This 10-song set is not to be confused with previous rollouts of EP-sized cast albums — or with a drop Bareilles recently did of three of her demos for the songs. That streaming release had one key song from the show, “Dear Hope” under its original title, “Hemingway,” performed as...

John Ridley and Carlton Cuse will produce a limited series adaptation of “Five Days at Memorial,” Sheri Fink’s non-fiction book about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, for Apple TV+, the streaming service said Tuesday.

Based on Fink’s 2013 novel of the same name, “Five Days At Memorial” takes place over “the first five days in a New Orleans, LA, hospital after Hurricane Katrina made landfall” in August 2005, per Apple. “When the floodwaters rose, the power failed, and the heat climbed, exhausted caregivers were forced to make life-and-death decisions that haunted them for years to come.”

Ridley and Cuse will both serve as showrunners, writers and executive producers on “Five Days at Memorial,” with Fink also executive producing. Ridley will direct the limited series, which is produced by ABC Signature.

“Five Days at Memorial” will join a slate of Apple TV+ originals that includes currently streaming shows like “Defending Jacob,...

Brittany O’Grady can certainly relate to Bess, the aspiring singer-songwriter she plays in “Little Voice,” Sara Bareilles’ semi-autobiographical Apple TV Plus series.

Whereas Bess works as a dogwalker and a bartender to make ends meet, O’Grady was a host at Figaro Bistrot in Hollywood when she was 17. She was fired after two months because she went home back East for the holidays to look at colleges. “They wanted me to work Christmas,” O’Grady said during an appearance on Variety After-Show.

But she holds no hard feelings. “The food is great,” she added.

Now 24, O’Grady’s credits include starring on Fox’s “Star” as well as in the horror film “Black Christmas.”

For the “Little Voice” audition, she had to perform songs by – who else? – Bareilles. “I was like, ‘I know a couple,’” O’Grady recalled. “I can do that. I got a couple in my back pocket.

If you don't know Brittany O'Grady's name, you will very soon. The 24-year-old actress stars on Apple TV+'s new series Little Voice, and if she doesn't steal your heart with her acting chops, her beautiful singing voice will. The show, which was executive produced by Sara Bareilles, Jessie Nelson, and J. J. Abrams, follows a young songwriter named Bess (O'Grady) as she navigates love, family, and friendships in NYC and tries to find her voice in the process.

Just like her character, music has been a big part of O'Grady's life. In addition to starring on the Fox musical series Star, she has been playing music and singing since she was young. "My dad was playing instruments and playing in bands his whole life, so music was always something that was in my life," the Virginia native told Popsugar.
