Any show that calls itself NASHVILLE star, but disses anyone who sings country music... well, it's just BOGUS. A joke.
Not that I've heard much country music on this show in the past few seasons. Still, one can hope.
I don't remember which of the original songs it was that was actual country music. I do remember that the judges
immediately chastised the singer, telling them that it "isn't a commercial, radio hit". That actually made me cry. Not
because of the song--it was obviously forgettable-- but because I mourn the death of country music.
I wish they would just allow country music to exist while naming the pop/country blend something else and
giving it it's own genre! Why call it country? No one called Rock n Roll by the name Big Band! No,
they recognized it as a separate genre.
I know no one is reading this by now... but it just irks me that a type of music that I love has been erased and
something that is basically soulless pop with a tiny (sometimes non existant) twang has taken it's place.
is so far from being country, yet he insists to "love country music" and acts like he's an expert. whatever. I think he
should just go ride a cowboy already, and leave music alone.

I can't speak of Jewel, having never heard of her until her hosting gigs, but John Rich makes me puke. his music
John Rich is a pompous butthole. Jewel has no credentials to judge country music. Her "Country" album stiffed.
