Rising Star

Shocker: the winner of Rising Star was a WGWG who was the frontrunner from the get-go. Was ABC’s music competition experiment worth the effort?

We’re almost at the end of Rising Star, y’all! Sunday, six contestants competed but only four advanced to next week’s Finale. Who wants it the most and who made the wrong song choices?

We’re down to eight contestants on ABC’s Rising Star. Will America’s fickleness over song choice and power notes prove to be an obstacle?

Thirteen singers entered the Rising Star arena, but only eight survived. How have the game mechanics shifted as we start entering the endgame?

The final set of Rising Star duels features four pairs battling for five slots. It’s a fast hour.

Rising Star continues the duel rounds with three more battles. Will a new frontrunner emerge from behind the wall?

Rising Star enters its next stage as the successful audition contestants start battling each other. Which contestants hit the wall and which ones raise it?

Rising Star seems to be obsessed with the “triumph through adversity” storytelling model, with actual musical talent taking a backseat.

Rising Star Week 2 Audition — The talent level is not quite as strong as last week’s debut, but we do get a sense of where this competition is going and if the West Coast voting actually makes a difference.
