This show has not transferred well to network TV. I miss the bitchy judge from past seasons who didn't like much of anything and Billy Ray is a
horrible host.

much harder. :) But he sounded better in his audition and rehearsal clips.
He is cute though, I think he'll get through at least a few rounds because of that.
I hated all the pyrotechnic stuff, hopefully it was only because it was the premier. Maybe next week they will tone it down a little. Also Billy Ray obviously didn't watch any of those little clips, he was asking stupid questions that he would have known the answer to had he actually been watching. |

Hated it. It's like they hired Nigel to run this crapfest as well. They completely ruined the Nashville Star of USA network. They seem to have hired the
stupid bunch of bimbos from the AI mosh pit, and the camera kept showing the same bimbos singing along. None of the singers was even interesting, could even
sing well, and the young female ones were ridiculous, worse than a high school assembly. You would know that NBC would ruin it. Billy Ray's hair looks
like a bird's nest with bird droppings in it, and he is as scintillating a host as a bird's nest.
Only good part was John telling Jewel she is pitchy herself. Good the Mole was on opposite it.

We liked Nashville Star when it was on USA - they usually had some pretty quality singers competing. Now, not so much at all. What the hell happened? It was
bad enough that Billy Ray is hosting (how can he look so stiff and awkward holding a microphone when he's been on stage for years? The guy is a doof), but
the contestants we saw (and we didn't see them all) were just not much above any average karaoke singer. And the obvious, almost strict, stereotyping,
black guy, latino guy, young pretty blonde, chubby brunette mom, teenagers, pretty model boy did I miss the Asians, Eskimos and American Indians? What about
that lovable, crazy German guy who is compelled to sing Charlie Rich songs? Good Lord.
And Jewel. Jewel! I don't recall a country twang in her speech prior to this. Nice move, considering her current attempts. You know, being as the folky thing is over and her foray into the bimbo pop market was poorly done and received. She may be able to give advice to the contestants willing to re-invent themselves, however. Haven't decided whether to continue watching this show, just to yell at the tv for a while, or if I'm just gonna ignore it from here on out. |

Charla Corn | ||

Now that we've seen this group of goof-nuts, I can honestly say that Charla is much better off for not keeping in the original 12.
Nashville Star producers originally picked Charla for the top 12, but then kicked her with no explanation. They give us a public bullshit statement that she couldn't keep up with the rigorous schedule and that she lost her voice. I say it's a bullshit statement because that's all it was. Charla's voic has never been better, and with all she does, the NS 'rigorous' schedule is a friggin cake-walk! Well, I say we want a REAL reason, because Charla can sing circles around those we saw last night....check her out at www.charlamusic.com SHe's Hot and She sings her ass off!!

So, what was the "crazy" thing Jewel said last night? They made a little mention of it on the local news this after noon, but they didn't say
what she actually said.

She told a contestant that she needed to "take the stage and own people and murder them". |

Nashville Star spawned Miranda Lambert♥♥
If you have no idea who she is, go download Kerosene, and Gunpowder & Lead. Taylor Swift rules. |

Anastacia <3 Yeah the judging panel is really lacking without her. I HATE Jewel as a judge, <3 her as a host though. I wish they would get rid of Billy Ray. I actually really liked LeAnn Rimes as the host, I don't get why they eve got rid of her. |

if you should miss any of this shitfest, and actually want to see it again, CMT repeats it at 4 pm on Saturdays. I tried watching it again on there but Tiger
Woods was a much better singer with his golf club. Everything that was good about the show was completely demolished by NBC.

Can You Duet was so much better than this show. That being said it was a tiny bit better than last week. Shawn, Melissa and Gabe did pretty well. Justin OMG,
what is he doing on this show. My vote for eye candy is Judge Jeffery.

The only good thing about this shitfest this week was Trace Adkins.
