Candice Glover on Her ‘American Idol’ Homecoming: ‘I Had So Much to Prove’ – The reigning American Idol returned home Thursday night. Candice Glover was back at CBS Television City to perform her latest single, “Cried,” in a medley with “Same Kind of Man,” another song from her new album, Music Speaks.

Then I saw Keith Urban’s face. He looked so proud. It felt great to know they were all rooting for me.” – Read more at Hollywood Reporter

They’ve had some really great hits. And so what drew me in was just that catalog of music and the great folks that came before. I kind of said, ‘Yeah, man, I’d love to do that.'” So on Wednesday, Blood, Sweat & Tears comes to Musikfest Cafe in Bethlehem with Bice singing lead. – Read more at The Morning Call
