Scott McCreery readies a return to his high school baseball team – McCreery tells ABC he doesn’t expect special treatment from his coach because “singing don’t really mean you can really play ball well.” So they had to see whether he “had a little something left” in him. “I’m a pitcher, so I have a feeling when I get on the mound, guys are gonna be taunting me,” he said. “I’m just gonna blow it off and strike ’em out!” – Read more at CBS News

But the program does stand alone in another respect — it is the first bilingual competition series to be broadcast on a major network. The 12-part series, starring Jennifer Lopez and her former husband Marc Anthony, travels through 21 countries in Latin and South America in search of new talent, and naturally much of the conversation is in Spanish. – Read more at the LA Times
