“I’ve always been enamored by the covers,” Jelly said of Stern’s show on Wednesday. “People come on here and do cool covers. What do y’all think boys, should we just do that?”

When Darius Rucker stopped by “The Voice” on Monday night to help Blake Shelton mentor his young artists for the upcoming battle rounds, an old rivalry was reignited. As it turns out, Shelton lost the 2013 Grammy for Best Country Solo Performance to Rucker, a category Shelton thought he had a good chance of winning. “I haven’t been nominated for a Grammy very many times, but the one time I thought I had a shot was the freaking ‘Wagon Wheel’ year,” Shelton told his young country artists Kat Hammock and Josie Jones. “Darius won his 50th Grammy and I still have an empty spot in my house.”

Rucker quickly corrected him, saying it was only his third Grammy. The other two were for Best New Artist for Hootie & the Blowfish (1995) and Best...

In a locker room converted into a makeshift dressing room in North Augusta, South Carolina, the members of Hootie and the Blowfish are gathered in front of a TV, watching Tiger Woods tee off. It’s the beginning of Woods’ Masters comeback, and the band is invested — it played his wedding in 2004, and Woods and frontman Darius Rucker remain friends. The bandmates, golfers themselves, whoop and shout whenever Woods rolls in another birdie. Later, Rucker makes a connection between Woods’ career and the band’s. “It’s funny, the parallels in our lives and careers,...

Maelyn Jarmon or Dexter Roberts, Dexter Roberts or Maelyn Jarmon. Ahead of Tuesday’s Season 16 finale of The Voice, that was the pair that it felt like it had all come down to.

My heart was with Team Legend’s Maelyn. Since as far back as the Blind Auditions, she’d given one beautiful performance after another (after another after another). And her rendition of “Hallelujah” Monday had actually made me cry — and I never cry when recapping. Well, unless the Internet cuts out right as I’m trying to post the story!

That said, Team Blake’s Dexter performed exceptionally well Monday,...

The guys in Hootie & the Blowfish only wanna be with each other, it seems, as the band announced it is getting back together.
