We'll be celebrating the 50th anniversary of "The Sound of Music," arguably the most beloved film musical of all time, tomorrow morning with a special interview. Get excited. In the meantime, let's revisit some of the 1965 Best Picture's greatest songs with ten unexpected covers from the past and present. 1. Christina Aguilera mounts "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" Christina Aguilera, as we'll soon discover, is a diehard "Sound of Music" fan. Here in a 2000 performance she decimates "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" and basically confirms she has very little in common with Britney Spears, talent-wise. 2. Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jerry Seinfeld are "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" Also in 2000: Julia Louis-Dreyfus displayed some tuenful gusto on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and belted "Sixteen Going on Seventeen." She proved she could sing, which I'd somehow forgotten. Surprise guest Jerry Seinfeld joined in on the fun and proved he could... vocally contribute. It's just sweet. More singing from Jld,...

When Taylor Swift tells you to put down the guitar, you put down the guitar.
Dallas father Taylor Phelan did just that on Monday as season 7's knockout rounds began on The Voice – heeding the pop star's call to ditch his ever-present stage crutch and let his personality shine through.
"When I started, I had the exact same comfort object," Swift – who was helping Pharrell Williams out as a mentor – candidly shared during rehearsal. And by the time Phelan hit the stage, minus the acoustic, his edgy, '80s-inspired stage moves changed his whole dynamic on Clean Bandits' "Rather Be,...

Adam Levine ended Monday's episode of "The Voice" with a critical steal that he believes makes his team "10 times stronger" than before. -Break- Monday's two-hour show featured the first night of knockout rounds with 12 artists in six contests. Coach Pharrell Williams ended the episode with a battle between two of his best: Luke Wade and Taylor Phelan. Wade was the chosen winner in singing the Hall and Oates song "Rich Girl" over Phelan with Clean Bandit's "Rather Be." During the knockouts, each coach only has one steal and special advisor Taylor Swift assisting them. All three other coaches -- Levine, Gwen Stefani, and Blake Shelton -- hit their buttons and made their cases to Phelan for joining their teams. He (and his wife in the audience) selected Levine because he has been championing Phelan for many weeks. The first battle of the evening for Team Gwen also offered up an exciting steal.

She ain't no hollaback girl, but Gwen Stefani is a welcome throwback at the Video Music Awards. The star made her first Vma appearance since 2005 on Sunday night, looking amazing as ever in a bright pink peplum top and matching pants from her own Lamb Couture label. "Yeah, I whipped this one up last night in my closet," Stefani, 44, joked on the red carpet. "Sewing away all morning on the 405." Though the blonde beauty hasn't aged a day, a lot has changed since 2005, when she ruled the charts with hits "Rich Girl," "Cool" and, naturally, "Hollaback Girl." She also wasn't...
