Top 12 Nashville Star Contestants Revealed

Not to mention Garth’s 3rd verse to “Friends in Low Places” But there is such thing as cursing too much AND cursing just to try and sound edgy. When used right, curse words can be effective in delivering a message, but when used wrong, they’re just obnoxious.

You had it right the first time: they’re sob stories. I hope that NBC isn’t planning to market the show like this, because this kind of stuff is nauseating:

JUSTIN GASTON AGE: 19 HOMETOWN: Pineville, Louisiana CURRENT HOME: Los Angeles, California Originally from Louisiana, Justin left home at age 17 to pursue a career in music, while supporting himself as a model. Only after suffering heartbreak from breaking up with his long-distance girlfriend did Justin realize how isolating living on his own can be at a young age. With his good looks and great voice, Justin is the ultimate teenage country heartthrob.

I know that I spend a lot of time crying over teenage heartthrobs who break up with their girlfriends.

Wow, those NS bios almost remind me of the 60’s vintage “Queen For A Day” TV show where the contestant with the biggest, most tragic sob story won a prize like a washing machine….

Stormy, have you ever been on a participant on the official Kasey Chambers fan forum? Stickman was just wondering…..

Female Aussie country singer Carla Herrod has a song titled “Bob’s Birthday” which includes a line in the chorus that asks “Does my ass look big in this dress?” I think Mindy McCready should cover that song in her concerts these days! (lol)

That’s an interesting article on Pete Kleinow, but when it comes to country rock steel guitar playing in those days I’d give the nod to Buddy Cage who was with The New Riders of the Purple Sage when they recorded the “Adventures of Panama Red” album…..

Eddie Stubbs is a truly strange individual, but in a good kind of way since he is such a huge fan of traditional country music. Go Stubb’s! (If they offered his T-shirts in extra-long I’d probably get one.)

Ah yes, I thought I recognized your style Miss “Whiskey and a Prayer”. Its great to see you in action here at The 9513. Its kind of like a Swarm reunion! If you would have praised Trish Murphy and that Bap fellow I would have known it was you! (lol) Now that Kasey has put out a decent new album you should drop back in over there and say hello…..

Wonder why dropped Charla Corn? must be more to the story there. Maybe the trio they replaced them with had more of a sob story. or….maybe there was an incident?? I really hope they post some drama footage during the premere on monday.

I’ll tell you why I’m watching. Because Country music breeds the hottest women in the world! Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, the list goes on! I can’t wait to see what’s in store! My eyes will be glued to NBC this Monday night!

LovinMyMullet - Pop a Loretta Lynn CD in your F150 and drive over to the high-end strip club. That way you get the best of both.

texasgurl, Callie, and LovinMyMullet are actually NBC employees. There are a few others on the other Nashville Star posts (Angie, Kristi, CountryFANLA, leila) and they basically just search for “country music blog” or “Nashville Star blog” in the search engines and then spam them with mindless, positive comments about whatever they’re promoting. There are entire companies based around ‘virally’ promoting content in this way on YouTube, blogs, messageboards, etc.

Seriously, they’re gonna have to do better than “I can’t wait to see what’s in store!” if they want us to believe this stuff.

Rick–Good News from Kasey’s Myspace:
