A double dose of Nashville Star
NBC has signed a deal with the Country Music Television cable network allowing CMT to repeat -- er, excuse me, I mean repurpose -- episodes of Nashville Star four days after their broadcast premieres. Nashville Star -- formerly a mainstay at the USA Network -- returns for its sixth season June 9 on NBC, with Billy Ray Cyrus as host.

I'm glade the show is called "Nashville Star" and nor Country Music star, there is a clear distinction with the pop-fluff variety being pursued on the program.

Hey, look -- people gave Eddy Arnold grief back when he added strings to his recordings. This debate has been going on a long, long time...
True and Arnold deserved it. Not that he was solely responsible for the Countrypolitan scourge, but that he folded from his early honky-tonk sound for something that sucked the hillbilly soul right out and sanded the edges to make the music appetizing to the Pat Boon crowd. Sure he made money, that doesn't make it good.
It has been going on for a while now though. Not as long as good VS evil, but almost. ;)
They are opening some serious doors for contestants this year. Age range is 16 to 37, not just soloists, plus the winner gets to go to the Olympics in Beijing! I can't wait for Monday! I'll be glued to NBC!
AND they get a free TUNDRA! Wonder if the winner gets to pick the color?
