Half an hour isn't long enough to connect with the contestants the way we should. I didn't notice if JR is executive producing this, but if he is he should shell out some more money and make it longer.

Oh, and Ilovegreeneyes--total love for Justin. The hair is little distracting for country fans as a rule I would think, but good lord he can belt them out. I think Taylor was right when she says it's between Justin or her. Maybe Mickey. Add Sheila as the 4th and the others are just filler. I'd bet my bottom dollar that JR didn't have a freaking clue who Richard was before this.
