Nashville Star Begins Tonight
by Rachelle Thomas
The USA hit show Nashville Star moves to NBC tonight at 9PM EST kicking off its 6th season. This year the contestants will not only be judged by a panel of country music experts but they will also be provided with a unique mentoring experience. The judges include singer/songwriter and country music star John Rich, multi-platinum singer Jewel, and BMI songwriter of the year Jeffery Steele. Billy Ray Cyrus will take over hosting duties, making him the 5th host of the show in 6 seasons. The winner will receive a recording deal with Warner Bros. Nashville, along with the chance of a lifetime opportunity to take the world’s stage at the Summer Olympics in Bejing. The contestants consist of solo and group acts.

Although the show does not premiere until tonight, it has already had some controversy. Contestant Charla Conn’s dream of being the next Nashville Star was dashed when at the the last minute the Top 12 Finalist was replaced with country group Third Town. Apparently Charla began to have trouble with her voice, leaving the judges to question whether she could handle the rigorous schedule of the show. All preshow drama aside, if you like music and are having American Idol withdraw, tune in tonight to Nashville Star. I’ll check it out, I mean what else is there to watch on a Monday night in the summer.
