Former Fiance Of Tanya Tucker Steals Her Clothes, Mentions A Barrel
- The Tennessean has a fairly in-depth article on Martina McBride talking about the possibility that she could be in the running for Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards this year. Joe Galante, chairman of Sony BMG Nashville, says that even if she won’t admit it, she wants to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame one day.
When country songs were getting pop radio airplay about eight years ago, Galante told McBride that he wanted her to cut some pop songs on her next album.
“She got very silent and looked right at me and said, ‘What makes you think I want to be a pop star? If I aspire to be anybody, I aspire to have the career of Reba McEntire.’ And that was it,” Galante says.
