Am I the only one watching it? It's really really good - y'all should if you aren't already.

Haven't even heard of this one. Are they picking a country music star? What network?

USA Network. Last season, they had an astonishingly high level of talent (putting AI to shame). Buddy Jewell won, and he's doing quite well on the country charts these days.

are you watching this season? I don't know if there's anyone as good as Buddy and the chick that came in third (who's name escapes me) but there are several good ones this year.

One guy sounds just like George Jones and has done two great original songs. There's a girl (Jennifer somebody) who I think is great. And one kid who is quite possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen. He's just adorable and has a good voice too. There's maybe five really good ones - that beats american idol for sure.

Not too crazy about the new judges - the radio guy sucks but the Warren Brothers are ok (when they aren't busy congratulating themselves on their wit)

I bailed on it cause they changed judges - without Charlie and the Nashville historian who is everywhere, it wouldn't be the same.

I've missed it so far, but I hope to be able to watch it this week. You're thinking of Miranda Lambert. I also liked John Arthur Martinez, who finished 2nd.

Ah, Miranda - that's right. She was great. I liked John Arthur too - but I was impressed with Miranda's song writing ability - she's so young!

Y'all have to start watching so we can discuss! I looked up their names - Jennifer Hicks and Lance something (I already forgot) are my favorites. Brad Cotter and George Canyon are also good. And the girls all love Brett the cute boy.

There is a guy straight out of hee-haw who I can't stand. And a wannabe Shania that irritates me. There's also a former back-up singer with virtually no personality.

Gina Gershon's sister is still a judge and the Warren Brothers are ok too. That other dude sucks.

Ooo, I'll have to watch now! You mentioned Gina Gershon (YUM, even though she isn't on the show) and George Jones (He rocks), so now I'll have to catch it!

It's on USA, what day and time? Hook a sistah up, Poohbear!

Saturday night at nine central time on USA. Lord knows I have nothing to do.

They're all singing Willie Nelson songs this week (and Willie's gonna be there!!!!)

I am so glad that people are finally talking about NS2. I absolutley adore this show. These people are amazingly talented and they genuinely seem like nice folks. This weekend oughtta be really neat when they play Willie's songs with him there. Can't wait to hear what people think after the show.

I'm watching Poho. I lvoe this show. I was disapponted that Mal Rogers got eliminated. He had a great personality.

Did anyone watch this weekend? I just love me some Willie Nelson!

As far as the results go - I was pretty happy. Marty, Sheila and Matt were my least favorites by far. I would rather have seen Matt go based on the week prior's performance, but he was the best I've seen him on Saturday. That still isn't saying much though.

It's a tough contest to call right now. And just because I'm sure you all care - I'm gonna do a love list of the ones remaining.

Lance - the Warren Brothers are right, he does look like Chastity Bono. I really like him though. His songs are awesome and he's the real deal - great, distinctive voice, strong songwriter, charismatic performer. Right now, I'm hoping he wins it.

Jennifer - she sounds so much like Pam Tillis. I think she's a great singer and also a very likable performer. She's got a humbleness and openness to her that is very refreshing. Comfortable on stage - the one original song she performed was good but not great.

Brad - he's growing on me by leaps and bounds. I didn't really like him at first, but he gets better every week. More comfortable, a very polished and natural performer. I like him in front of the keyboard. His original song was strong too.

George - his stock is going down. The aw-shucks act seems just that - an act. He has a great voice - he could easily be a headliner. But I think songwriting is an important part of this competition. If that original was his best song - than I shudder at what his worst would be. The crowd does seem to love him though

Brett - he's just so cute! Really, he's the prettiest boy I've seen in a long time. He's out of his element though. Country music at its best is about life experiences - I don't think he has any life experiences yet. Maybe in a couple of years. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go home this week.

Matt - Hee-Haw was cancelled a long time ago. It's Nashville Star, not Nashville Novelty. I half expect him to show up in a hat with the price tag still on it. Not a good writer, not a good voice, an annoying personality. go home Matt. Go. Home.


my best guess at PTTE in order of their exit: Brett, George, Matt, Jennifer, Lance with Brad being the next Nashville Star.

So, come on now people - DISCUSS!

Great week! Here are my thoughts..

Jennifer - She has a very nice, clear voice. She did better with Willie this week than she did with her original song. I think she'll go far in this competition.

George - I can't help it, I like George. He has a good strong voice and an engagng personality. I wasn't impressed with his original song though, it was kinda boring.

Lance - I think this was his best week so far. I wasn't a big fan of his at first, but he's growing on me. His original song was great.

Matt - Yeah, his personality is a little over the top, but I think he has a nice voice. His original song was funny, but it was lacking musically.

Brad - He has been improving, but I think he was better last week than this week. His original song was the best of the bunch IMO.

Brent - He's cute, but he is definitely the weakest one left. I have a feeling he's going next, unless he got enough girls to vote him through on his looks.


I still miss Mal. *sniff*

I watched it today for the first time, and to be honest, the only one that impressed me was the guy that did "Drift Away" the others were knock offs of legendary country stars with no originality. Just my opinion.

OK it was bad enough when Matt Lindahl stayed and jennifer went home two weeks ago. But she had a bad performance, so while it was disappointing, it was understandable.

But I can't believe Lance Miller is out and that putz with the washboard is still in the competition. He cannot sing, his songwriting sucks and his personality is horrible!! Does anyone htink he could have any kind of career except as a sidekick on Hee Freaking Haw?

I hope Brad Cotter wins this thing. George Canyon I could live with but if Matt Lindahl is the next Nashville Star, I'm done with this show.

I watched a little of it Pooh, and was singularly unimpressed. Did all the talent get booted out in the earlier rounds?

It's a matter of opinion of course, but I think so.

Jennifer Hicks was great and left two weeks ago (she had a horrible performance - the mike crapped out, they made her start over and the music totally over powered her) Lance Miller who left this week was a great songwriter and had a really distinctive voice. Brad Cotter is really good - this was not his best week, his original song wasn't that great, but he has been consistently good. There was no Buddy Jewel this year, but only one of the final three really deserves to be there.
