The List for Wednesday, March 3rd 2021

Welcome to The List –

We start today with Blake’s proposal to Gwen.  Blake gives us the play by play on what exactly happened. “ I remember after I asked her, there was some you know like crying and things and Gwen’s oldest son Kingston was sitting right next to us when this happened.  Gwen at one moment said, ‘Wait a minute did I answer you; Did I say yes out loud?’ Even I was wondering, and Kingston said mom, yeah you did I heard you say yes you did.’ I don’t know how long it took but that’s how it happened.” Well, that could have turned awkward.

Gabby Barrett Talks About Singing Her Favorite Song 'Jolene' “I started singing that song when I was just starting, because I absolutely loved it.  Around eleven or twelve, I started singing when I was nine in a gospel choir.” Gabby’s Number one single ‘I Hope’ has been on the Country Music charts for an impressive 85 weeks.

 Eddie Murphy talks to Ellen about turning 60, and gives a spoiler-free preview of 'Coming 2 America'. “In this movie our happily ever after gets interrupted by a very modern problem that we have to deal with.” He says doing the movie with much of the old cast was like going back to high school for him.

Welcome to The List –

Luke Bryan On "Down To One" ... "'Down To One' is a real, like, typical song of mine that you'd kind of expect from me from the years. it just sounds like a big old hit. The guy and the girl out there, in the middle of nowhere enjoying a moment together, a romantic moment, and I always feel like you gotta have those on an album." “Down to One” was Luke’s 24th No. 1 hit, you can find it on his “Born Here, Live Here, Die Here album.

Maren Morris says one of her biggest inspirations will always be Sheryl Crow “She from the get go, Sheryl just sounded different.  That was my first kinda coming on-line realizing who this woman was. I would just gush over her, I still cry when I hear ‘Strong Enough” Maren’s song ‘The Bones” is No. 1 on the Country Charts for the 11th week, which is the longest run by a solo female artist in the history of the chart.

The List for Monday, March 1st 2021

Welcome to The List –

Darius Rucker a huge fan of Golf and Tiger Woods and had this to say about Tiger after his accident. “I think Tiger is a strong guy the question is always is if he’s going to play again.  I say if Tiger wants to play again, he’ll play again so, ah I just want him to get better and get healthy.” Tiger recently underwent surgery following a devastating car crash which resulted fractures on the upper and lower parts of both fibula and tibia which required rods be inserted to stabilize the area and screws and pins were used to treat other injuries in the ankle and foot.

Keith Urban says he could never be on a show like 'The Voice' ... “I want to remind people that we don’t know the backstories. Because you sitting at home see it, the most devastating backstory and then none of us turn and we’re just like just complete scrooges up there. I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t sing to the backs of chairs.” But Keith was a judge on American idol from season 12 to season 15.  "The Voice" returns tonight on NBC.

Speaking of American Idol – This happened “Rhonda, I was doing really well, until you came in and did something that no one has done tonight.  Which is touching me to the point of making me cry.” American Idol hopeful Ronda Felton performed the song 'One Night Only'.  For the judges, and wow what a performance, she made Lionel cry. Rhonda got her golden ticket to Hollywood…American Idol Sunday nights on ABC.

A couple Hollywood quickies for you…Charlie Sheen tells yahoo Entertainment he regrets his 2011 outburst of “winning” and “Tiger Blood” – Eddie Murphy says his secret talent is playing the piano, the ruffled shirt worm by Prince in 1984’s “Purple Rain” up for auction expected to fetch $60,000 – and JJ Abrams working on a Superman reboot with a black Superman, Michael B Jordan is the favorite to land the roll.
