Kree Harrison’s Grand Ole Opry Debut

From one country singer to another. Season 12 runner-up Kree Harrison had one of her dreams come true this week as she performed for the first time at the historic Grand Ole Opry.

LaKisha Jones Competing on The Winner Is

You may have seen commercials for a new game show called The Winner Is on NBC. It’s a mix between Idol/The Voice and game shows like Deal or No Deal. Contestants compete against each other by performing songs. Along the way, they will be tempted with cash offers to leave the game. If they can avoid the temptations, they have a shot at going all the way to the end and possibly win $1 million.

And guess what? Season 6 finalist LaKisha Jones will be a contestant on the show. She tweeted the news: “I finally got the GREEN LIGHT to let a little secret out……I will be appearing on a new show on NBC called THE WINNER IS!!! The show previews on June 10th. So excited! … Can’t say much more at this time, let’s just say it starts with bang!! I’ll be tweeting live during the show so let me know what you think.”

Check out this preview video of LaKisha performing “Lady Marmalade” and competing against an opera singer:

NBC will give viewers the chance to preview the show on June 10 and 17 following The Voice. The official premiere is July 11.
