Live Blog: Nashville Star Season Six Finale
It’s the day that I’ve been waiting for since I first heard Underwear Boy sing: the season finale of Nashville Star!
Since early in the competition I’ve felt confident that Melissa Lawson will prevail, and I still predict that she’ll come out on top. However, a significant part of my psyche is telling me to [...]Continue reading "Live Blog: Nashville Star Season Six Finale"

Live Blog: Nashville Star, Season Six, Episode Eight
I’ve spent most of the day trying to come up with some clever ultimatum to ensure that Coffey goes home this week, only to conclude that my efforts are ultimately fruitless. Thus, all I can say is: America, please?
It’s the penultimate episode of Nashville Star and the performances and votes this week will determine [...]Continue reading "Live Blog: Nashville Star, Season Six, Episode Eight"

Live Blog: Nashville Star, Season Six, Episode Seven
Original songs week was always something to look forward to during Nashville Star’s USA Network run: the predictably hilarious debacles, the unexpected gems and mostly the fact that Nashville Star held it contestants to a much higher standard than any other talent competition. NBC deserves credit for continuing this tradition despite the abysmal talent [...]

Live Blog: Nashville Star, Season Six, Episode Six
Our Nashville Star live blogs and comments may be filled with sardonic wit, but don’t get us wrong: here at The 9513, we really want the Nashville Star contestants to succeed. Yes, even you, Coffey. So, for this week’s theme of love songs, I’ve taken the liberty of giving the contestants some advice. Of [...]

Live Blog: Nashville Star, Season Six, Episode Five
Another episode of Nashville Star. Meh.
As always, our live blog begins at 8 p.m. central.
8:59 – Matt C: That’s right, folks. Two contestants are going home tonight. I know who I’m rooting for (or against).
9:01 – Matt C: Katie Cook introducing BRC is like Dwight Yoakam introducing…whatever sorry excuse for an artist he introduced at [...]Continue reading "Live Blog: Nashville Star, Season Six, Episode Five"

Live Blog: Nashville Star, Season Six, Episode Four
It’s “Family Week” on Nashville Star and each contestant gets two chances to perform a country song. I’m not sure what family week means (hint to contestants: there are lots of country songs about family!) but I fear that we’ll see plenty of melodramatic videos about single parents and dead goldfish. Whatever happens, there [...]

Live Blog: Nashville Star, Season Six, Episode Three
Tonight is the dreaded pop night on Nashville Star, but how exactly it’ll be different from the previous two episodes remains to be seen. As the producers have demonstrated thus far, they have no interest in promoting country music and while we’re three weeks in, none of the artists have shown that they’re capable of [...]

Live Blog: Nashville Star, Season Six, Episode Two
I have good news and bad news about the second episode of Nashville Star. The good news is that this episode is of the one and one-half hour variety, and because the contestants have to perform, this limits the amount of time that NBC can spend fomenting the “drama” surrounding each contestant’s sob story. The [...]

Live Blog: Nashville Star, Season Six, Episode One
It seems a bit anti-climatic to be watching Nashville Star auditions when the finalists have already been announced, but NBC doubtless has some tricks in store to make the network debut of Nashville Star entertaining nonetheless. Tonight’s premiere will also feature a live performance by Taylor Swift, though I don’t know how NBC plans to [...]

2008 ACM Awards Live Blog
The ACM Awards are set to air tonight at 8PM ET/PT on CBS. We’ll find out who the fans voted for Entertainer of the Year, which is apparently still open for voting. I gotta question the legitimacy of this award because without requiring registration, there’s no way to limit online voting to one per [...]
