By Jamie Ruby  NBC has a new singing competition, but it's different than the rest. The Winner Is is the only competition where singing just six songs can win a contestant one million dollars. The series is a mix of both a singing competition as well as a game show. During the rounds, contestants have a choice to take smaller amounts of cash or to continue on and hope to win a spot in the finale and a chance at the million. The Winner Is is hosted by Nick Lachey. NBC will air sneak peeks of the series on Mondays, June 10 and June 17, with the series premiering on July 11, and subsequent episodes airing on Thursdays. Lachey recently talked to the media in anticipation of the new competition coming to NBC.

Exclusive interview with Michael Austin Interview by Jamie Ruby and Karen Moul Written by Karen Moul The Voice is down to its top ten contestants, who will compete again this week in live shows. Looking for some inside scoop, we caught up with Michael Austin, the country artist eliminated from Team Adam during the battle rounds. Austin knew before his blind audition that he wanted to work with Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine. "I just wanted to try something different and think outside the box," he explained, "and I figured I had the best shot at doing that with Adam. I really wanted to see how far he'd go or what his ideas on a country song would be." In the end, it may not have been a perfect fit. "I felt like I was a little bit part of his learning curve," said Austin, "which was non-advantageous to me. And [he admitted] he was getting an education as we were going along. I think he would be a better choice maybe in a couple of seasons from now, if he had more of a grasp of country music."

By Jamie Ruby  Many fans were surprised when contestant Angie Miller was voted off of American Idol last week. The Massachusetts native was unique in that she sang many of her of own original songs. The singer talked to reporters last week about coming in third on Idol and her plans for the future. The singer talked to SciFi Vision about the best advice she received while on Idol. "I think what really sticks out to me when I think of everything that they've said is that they didn't just appreciate like my voice or just me, whatever, but they appreciated just the artistry and the songwriting and knowing that I know who I am as a person. I love how they really appreciated that and they stressed that [it] was important to never lose your songwriting and who you are and what you stand for. I think that's what stuck out with me the most. It wasn't really a critique but it was just them saying, "Thank you for being that way, keep being that way," and that meant the world to me." Miller also told the site that she would love to get to perform an original song on tour, but doesn't know if she will be able to. "I don't know but I really, really hope so because that would be amazing."

By Christiane Elin So You Think You Can Dance returns for its tenth season with a special two-night premiere on Tuesday, May 14th and Wednesday, May 15th. Host Cat Deeley spoke with SciFiVision in a conference call about the new season. Cat shared that this year, "people are getting very, very creative with the different styles and their choices of music. They know now that we are in season ten, so we've seen people run up walls and do back flips. We've seen, you know, ten pirouettes all in one go, so they've got to do something that's a little big unique and normally that involves doing something with the music, so say putting a hip-hop routine to a classical piece of music or giving the dance a story. It's about their creativity." Not only has Cat seen that contestants are becoming more creative but she has seen more newbies try out for the show. Cat went on to say, "It means that within the dance community, we're still a relevant show. We're still a relevant part of their career process, which I think is brilliant." Check out season ten of So You Think You Can Dance Tuesday Nights on Fox.

 The final four became the final three after Amber Holcomb received the least amount of votes (from two weeks) on this week's American Idol results show. After a very emotional night, Amber gave her final performance as an American Idol contestant. SciFi Vision spoke with Amber the day after the results show. On the call, Amber was in good spirits about her future after her Idol journey. For many American Idol viewers, the same question lingered about why she was so emotional on result's night. Amber took us through what was going inside her head after the results were read. Amber said when she watched the package video it really got to her. After the video she saw her dad crying and then it was time for her to sing. When singing she was thinking about going home. It was a lot to take in at that moment for the 18-year old. The judges unanimously believe that Amber should easily have a career after her time at American Idol. Amber said that, although she didn't win, she finds that she will be able to take this time to focus on herself. Amber is looking forward to what's next and would like to have you see her in all forms of media within the next 10 years.

By Jamie Ruby This season of American Idol is a girl's to win, as the top five were all female. The latest contestant to be voted off was country singer Janelle Arthur. The singer recently talked to the media about her experience on Idol, as well as what her future holds. She talked to SciFi Vision about how she felt being on a big stage for the first time on the show. "I was performing in front of big audiences, so it was actually really exciting. That’s when I felt more at home I think was when I was performing in front of the big audience." The singer already has an idea what her album will look like. "I think my future album will definitely be more on the traditional side of country. I definitely think that there’s room for some more rootsy country music to come back into play. A lot of the females right now are doing more of the pop country thing."
