Not sure if it’s posted (previous page isn’t loading for me for some reason?) but Bryana Salaz has been cast in “Freeridge.” It’s the “On My Block” spinoff!

Probably the most notable show that an alumnus has been a part of post-show besides Vicci being on Orange is the New Black. - correct me if I’m missing out on any other big ones.

Good for her (and today I learned Vicci was on OITNB, but I haven’t watched much past the first couple seasons so that’s probably why I missed that lol)

Raquel has an entire page of credits at IMDb.com, both from before and after her time on the Voice. Like Alisan Porter, she was a child actress.

True. I didn't really wanna count Alisan because... well I mean it's Alisan Porter :haha:

I don’t think Alisan has acted after the Voice, but Raquel has. Not just the role mentioned above, but a significant number of credits.

Yay! 😄

Hoping she makes it far and they treat her better than TV did.

 

tbh everyone eliminated in the season 16 playoffs deserves a free pass on Idol as compensation for their struggles on TV16.

Plot twist: Gyth Rigdon and Andrew Sevener audition too

 

Kendra : Vietnam flashbacks

 

In all seriousness, good luck to her. I think singers like her have more success on Idol than on TV.

Tamara Jade and Desz are both BGV’s for Jon Batiste’s band Stay Humsn. Jon’s other gig is as Stephen Colbert’s band leader.

 

On last night’s show, they performed in angel costumes, which can be seen at approximately the 1:00 mark of this video.

Moriah Formica's band Plush has released its first, self-titled album.

 

 

Excerpt from AP review - Plush Are the Future of Rock on Debut Album

 

"I no longer fear for the future of rock ‘n’ roll: It is in the capable hands of the four young ladies of Plush, perhaps the heaviest all-female rock group ever to put pick to string, and whose debut album could be the best album of 2021.

 

"Imagine Pink singing for Metallica, and that just scratches the surface of the Plush sound.

 

"You probably don’t know the name lead singer Moriah Formica yet — but you will, and soon. It will be in the same sentence with some of the greatest female vocalists — make that vocalists, period — of all time, including Ann Wilson of Heart and Pat Benatar, whose songs Formica used to cover as a teenager in rock clubs with only an acoustic guitar. The arena has not been built with a roof high enough to contain her soaring, multi-octave vocals."
